His ECM albums have traversed dissimilar territory, from the brooding Shimri (1976), the folk-influenced Sagn (1990), to the orchestral grandeur of Live at Belleville (2008).

Bobby Broom And Bobby Watson: Tried And True
by Doug Collette
The conventions of traditional jazz can provide a refreshing simplicity.

Tony Williams and Al Foster: Give The Drummers Some
by Doug Collette
Are drummers the most colorful members of the jazz community? Certainly as the keepers of the beat, the bands in which they play rotate around them, whether they are at center stage or off to the side in performance or behind baffles right alongside them in the studio.
