Jimmy Greene: Gifts and Givers
by Joel Roberts
It's probably time to cast aside labels like “up-and-coming" and “rising star" when describing Jimmy Greene. As Gifts and Givers makes clear, the Connecticut-born tenor saxophonist has definitely arrived. An inventive, technically-advanced mainstreamer, Greene made his mark in the bands of Horace Silver, Tom Harrell and Harry Connick Jr., as well as with ...
David Binney - Edward Simon: Océanos
by AAJ Italy Staff
Gli oceani interiori di David Binney e Edward Simon, alto-sassofinista americano il primo ed pianista venezuelano il secondo, trovano spazio questa volta su un CD della casa discografica olandese Criss Cross (dopo che Fiestas de agosto e Afinidad erano stati pubblicati dalla italiana Red Records). Come su Afinidad ad accompagnarli ci sono Scott Colley e Brian ...
David Binney / Edward Simon: Oceanos
by Budd Kopman
Saxophinist David Binney and pianist Edward Simon have been playing and recording together a long time. The wonderful, accessible, and deep Océanos reflects their close musical relationship. The duo consider this release to be a continuation of Afinidad (Red Records, 2001) in that the music displays the range of musical styles that each brings to the ...
Adonis Rose: On the Verge
by John Kelman
While rhythm is as fundamental to mainstream jazz as changes and melody, to denizens of New Orleans it's even more elemental. Drummer Adonis Rose may have left the Crescent City in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, but it hasn't changed the approach he's honed on two previous releases as a leader--Song for Donise (Criss Cross, 1998) ...
David Binney / Edward Simon: Oceanos
by Michael P. Gladstone
Alto saxophonist David Binney has had a very active year. The well-received Cities and Desire (Criss Cross, 2006) was an intense and autobiographical album. Oceanos, co-led by pianist Edward Simon, offers a diverting and more satisfactory package. Simon and Binney go back a long way and have recorded together on various projects over the ...
David Binney / Edward Simon: Oceanos
by Jerry D'Souza
Alto saxophonist David Binney and pianist Edward Simon first met in 1989 when Simon played on Binney's debut record, Point Game (Owl, 1989). They have since collaborated five times. Oceanos is their sixth recording together, which Binney sees as the continuation of Afinidad (Red, 2001). Binney and Simon are men of ideas which they fathom with ...
Seamus Blake: Way Out Willy
by John Kelman
It's been six years since Seamus Blake's last recording for Criss Cross, and the tenor saxophonist wasn't thinking about a new one until approached in 2006 by label owner/producer Gerry Teekens. The result, Way Out Willy, has the spontaneous feel of a session more focused on improvisation than composition. That's not to say the six Blake ...
