The Rob Thorsen Quartet: Evolution

Read "Evolution" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey
November 1, 2003

Bassist-led recording dates make among the most interesting and swinging music produced in jazz. Paul Chambers’ recordings for Blue Note are a great case in point. Veteran bassist Rob Thorsen extends this tradition with Evolution. Thorsen is a San Francisco native who has been playing and performing the better part of his life and has appeared ...

Rob Thorsen Quartet: Evolution

Read "Evolution" reviewed by J. Robert Bragonier

by J. Robert Bragonier
October 8, 2003

One pleasant consequence of so many independent CDs on the market is the opportunity to hear regional musicians who otherwise would have gotten little or no national exposure. It is exciting to find groups as good or better than nationally known variety. Rob Thorsen's quartet is but one example. When he was 18, ...

Kitty Margolis: Evolution

Read "Evolution" reviewed by William Grim

by William Grim
July 14, 2002

This is an amazing album. There are few jazz singers with the range of expression of Kitty Margolis, a singer equally at home in bop, blues and ballads. Possessed of unerring pitch and flawless enunciation, Margolis can also scat with the best of them. Indeed, her versatility brings to mind Ella Fitzgerald and Carmen McRae. In ...

Pamela Williams: Evolution

Read "Evolution" reviewed by Craig W. Hurst

April 12, 2002

The smooth, stylish, sophisticated, meticulously polished, refined and highly produced sounds of that jazzy pop music called smooth jazz are very evident in the newest CD release Evolution by Pamela Williams. As a multi-saxophonist, flautist and vocalist, Williams’ playing is very much in the same vein as that of David Sanborn, Candy Dulfer, Richard ...

Pamela Williams: Evolution

March 1, 2002

First and foremost, this disc will appeal ...

John Lewis: Evolution

by Mike Neely
February 1, 2000

John Lewis's solo piano release “Evolution" has the feel of a master playing for himself alone in a room in a manner that is entirely focused on the development of the music as he plays. There is a mindfulness that comes up through the pauses and spaces of his refined, emotional style. At times it seems ...
