Fred Hess Band: How 'Bout Now
by Jerry D'Souza
Fred Hess says that after four recordings with a quartet, he wanted to change the makeup of his group, so he added a horn: cornet player Ron Miles. The music grooves, even as Hess chooses the groove in different ways. He takes his compositions along divergent paths. There is no gainsaying which way a tune will ...
Fred Hess Band: How 'Bout Now
by Dan McClenaghan
If you go down the list of categories eligible for Grammy Awards, you'll find Field 10 (Jazz), category 47, which is “Best Instrumental Solo."

Hess appears to enjoy a growing reputation, and he deserves it. He's a monster musician, a saxophonist with a full, ...
Fred Hess Quartet: Crossed Paths
by John Kelman
It's wonderful for an artist to find a group so emotionally linked to his or her conception that the music takes on a greater significance than what's on the written page. Denver-based tenor saxophonist Fred Hess found such a group for his previous release, The Long and Short of It , a record that took his ...
Fred Hess Quartet: Crossed Paths
by Dan McClenaghan
Listening to “On Perry St.," the opening cut on Denver-based saxophonist Fred Hess' Crossed Paths --a song that thumps in on a rock-ish beat (by Matt Wilson) and a big loping bass line (by Ken Filiano), followed by some loose two horn harmony--I'm struck, on Hess's first solo of the disc, by what pretty noise the ...
