David Murray Black Saint Quartet: Sacred Ground

Read "Sacred Ground" reviewed by Troy Collins


With three decades of recording to his credit, multi-reedist and composer David Murray's oeuvre is a varied one; his dabbling in pan-global multi-ethnic fusions and ensembles has ranged from solo recitals to big bands. Murray's tenth album for Justin Time Records, Sacred Ground is inspired by his recent film soundtrack for Marco Williams' Banished, ...

David Murray 4tet & Strings: Waltz Again

Read "Waltz Again" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Anche David Murray cede alla tentazione di comporre musica per quartetto jazz ed archi, un modello che negli ultimi anni sembra godere di rinnovato interesse.

David Murray 4Tet & Strings: Waltz Again

Read "Waltz Again" reviewed by R. Emmet Sweeney


Waltz Again begins with a thick squall of strings and hyper-Ayler sax wailings, laying down a warning. The strings in this recording will not sit still as a plush backing for treacly balladeering, but will instead bob and weave in constant interplay with the quartet. And when the true ballads come, their beauty gleams off the ...
