The Rocco John Group: Devotion
by Woodrow Wilkins
Trumpet and sax pairings often make for some of the most enjoyable jazz. The Rocco John Group, venturing back into the sounds of the 1960s and '70s, keep that thought alive. Saxophonist Rocco John Iacovone studied with Lee Konitz and has worked with Sam Rivers. The group has performed together 11 years. The other ...
The Rocco John Group: Devotion
by Warren Allen
With his drifting tones and trilling bird calls, Rocco John Iacovone evokes saxophone greats including Eric Dolphy, Ornette Coleman, and Jackie McLean, and also suggests mentors Lee Konitz and Sam Rivers.

Courtney Pine: Devotion

Don't make that ...

Courtney Pine: Devotion
by C. Michael Bailey
The management typically frowns on an initial discourse regarding the issuing record label when writing a review, but in the case of Courtney Pine's debut on Telarc Jazz, I feel it is warranted. Compared with the majority of Telarc's releases (dead middle mainstream) Mr. Pine's new release can only be approached by those of ...
