Michael Marcus: Lotus Symphony

Read "Lotus Symphony" reviewed by John Sharpe


Improvisers who concentrate on the clarinet are a select bunch, perhaps something to do with the difficulty of navigating its tricky three registers--a far cry from the early days of jazz when the clarinet's cry was integral to Dixieland and swing ensembles. Multi-instrumentalist Michael Marcus has only lately joined that coterie lost in the licorice stick's ...

Frank Lowe: Black Beings

Read "Black Beings" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Black Beings, registrato nel marzo del 1973 dal vivo a New York, non è mai stato considerato, dai critici e dalle enciclopedie del jazz, uno degli episodi più riusciti nella produzione del tenorsassofonista nero scomparso nel settembre 2003.

Frank Lowe: Lowe-down and Blue

Read "Lowe-down and Blue" reviewed by Jeff Stockton


When Frank Lowe plays his tenor saxophone, you get the sense that just as much effort is being spent on holding back as there would be in pouring it all out. That doesn't mean the total effort is less, merely that Lowe's restraint allows the listener some space to enter the tunes. On ...

Frank Lowe Quartet: Lowe-Down and Blue

Read "Lowe-Down and Blue" reviewed by Derek Taylor


Certain musicians wear their humanity on their sleeves. It bleeds out in their music, whether the facility and prowess is there or not. Frank Lowe falls easily into this camp. The years have not been kind to him, and from a purely technical standpoint his chops have noticeably eroded under the stress. But in creative music, ...
