Jerome Sabbagh: North
by AAJ Staff
With 31-year-old saxophonist Jerome Sabbagh, the Fresh Sound New Talent label presents yet another startlingly good young jazz musician. The French tenor man has a mature conception with a light, clean sound that reminds these ears of Hank Mobley. Like Mobley, Sabbagh chooses notes judiciously and swings firmly. And Sabbagh and North grow stronger and deeper ...
David Weiss: The Mirror
by John Kelman
The ability to create music that is intellectually provocative and eminently approachable is a challenge to which many artists aspire but relatively few manage to succeed. Trumpeter Davis Weiss has certainly had the opportunity to explore both sides of the equation. In high demand over the past decade, he has worked with artists including Bob Belden, ...
Justin Mullens: Justin Mullens & The Delphian Jazz Orchestra
by AAJ Staff
"Pietro The Gouty," the first track of this unique CD, gives some indication of the mercurial, multi-faceted nature of trumpeter/composer/arranger Justin Mullens' music. It opens with a crisp, up-tempo introduction, then settles into a medium swing groove, fed by the bracing sound of a rhythm guitar. A knotty, unconventional theme is introduced, and trombonist Paul Olenick ...
Jerome Sabbagh: North
by Phil DiPietro
Multifarious elements differentiate Brooklyn-by-way-of-Paris' Jerome Sabbagh from the tenor-playing pack, such as forward-thinking, tradition-rejecting compositions that bring to mind the “big O," as in organic. Another, more obvious element distinguishing this session is the presence of Brooklyn's own Ben Monder in what has to rank as the premier performance by a sideman in 2004. It's simply ...
Sangha Quartet: Fear Of Roaming
by Mark F. Turner
The debate on whether jazz musicians should use acoustic versus electric instrumentation has been going on since Miles Davis and others produced fusion in the early '70s. Yet thankfully, artists have continued to search and have found avenues to create music that successfully incorporates both traditional and modern ideas, and such is the case with Fear ...
David Weiss: The Mirror
by Michael P. Gladstone
This is the second album for trumpeter David Weiss on Fresh Sound New Talent, following his 2001 debut, Breathing Room. The songs are all originals, except for Kevin Hays' “Our Trip" and Wayne Shorter's “Mr. Jin." The album is structured into a sextet on most of the tracks and an octet on the final two selections. ...
Justin Mullens: Justin Mullens & The Delphian Jazz Orchestra
by Mark F. Turner
When most people think of jazz big bands, the swinging sounds of large ensembles may come to mind, but of late there has been an emergence of jazz orchestras that perform a broader scope of different jazz styles with an emphasis on complex composition as well has larger than life music. New York composer/trumpeter Justin Mullens ...
Eli Degibri: In The Beginning
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Israeli-born tenor saxophonist Eli Degibri, who not too long ago cut his teeth playing with Herbie Hancock, has taken his own maiden voyage with his premiere CD release, the appropriately titled In the Beginning. Degibri composed most of the songs here, narratives defined by deft rhythm and tempo shifts and ample space for the musicians to ...
David Weiss: The Mirror

David Weiss creates challenging structures for improvisation, but he and his sidemen always remember to swing.The opening track, “Stalker," is a prime ...
