Jason Robinson: The New Western
by Gordon Marshall
Saxophonist Jason Robinson is alert and ready to work his place in the scheme of things, from jazz itself to music at large, to the existential particulars of philosophy.

George Cartwright: Barrier Islands Bird
by Gordon Marshall
George Cartwright can't be forgotten. The triple sax threat is part of the archaeology of modern New York.

Cosa Brava: Ragged Atlas
by Nic Jones
There's a lot to a title as far as Ragged Atlas is concerned. The members of Cosa Brava have long been skilled in avoiding the obvious and their music incorporates influences from disparate sources.
