Miles Okazaki: Generations

by Raul d'Gama Rose
Myriad ideas collide and interact on Miles Okazaki's follow-up to Mirror: his latest offering, Generations. These ideas span not only musical forms and concepts but also cultures--from Indian to European and American.

Martin Speake: Generations

by John Kelman
British altoist Martin Speake isn't as well-known as he ought to be, but he may well be the clearest successor to the unadorned, warm-toned approach of the legendary Lee Konitz.

Steve Wilson: Generations

by Jack Bowers
A glance at the personnel list confirms that Steve Wilson assembled a gold-standard rhythm section for his debut recording on Chick Corea's Stretch label.

Steve Wilson: Generations
