Jazz Passengers: Reunited

Read "Reunited" reviewed by Mark Corroto

October 7, 2010

Don't mistake the music made by The Jazz Passengers as merely camp or burlesque send-ups. Sure, trombonist Curtis Fowlkes dons the persona of the infamous “Peaches," from the duo Peaches and Herb, for the 1970's hit, “Reunited." The irony dissolves underneath Roy Nathanson and Fowlkes' spoken/sung duet with Sam Bardfeld's pizzicato violin and Marc Ribot's now-patented ...

If the expression “renaissance musician" existed in the dictionary, it would probably show a picture of saxophonist Roy Nathanson.

Roy Nathanson: Subway Moon

Read "Subway Moon" reviewed by Joel Roberts

by Joel Roberts
June 4, 2009

Subway Moon, alto saxophonist Roy Nathanson's ambitious new album of jazz and spoken word, defies easy categorization. It mixes an accessible brand of avant-garde jazz with R&B, hip hop, Jewish music and multi-vocal harmonies; poignant biographical revelations with humorous observations of urban life; high-art concept with a gritty New York street sensibility. This eclecticism should come ...
