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 ...

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.

Justin Mullens: Justin Mullens & The Delphian Jazz Orchestra
