Jim Saltzman: Hidden Intentions
by Samuel Chell
Jim Saltzman is another gifted, pyrotechnical tenor player out of the Coltrane-Brecker school, one who, based on the evidence of this striking debut recording and all-original program, bears close watching. When he backs off on his sound, he displays an appealing, warm middle register, but for the most part the emphasis here is on high-energy, intense ...
Don Friedman: Waltz for Marilyn
by Samuel Chell
The impressive vita and discography of Don Friedman are but touchstones to the musicianship of this pianist who, like Kenny Barron and Hank Jones, navigates the jazz mainstream while remaining perpetually fresh if not cutting edge. On Waltz for Marilyn the seasoned veteran is joined by three like-minded, proven young musicians who bring the leader's conceptions ...
Dan Loomis Quartet: I Love Paris
by J Hunter
It's the quiet ones you have to watch for. Not the furtive loner, living behind drawn shades at the end of your cul-de-sac; but the music that crawls into your ear on little cat feet and whispers, “This is not what you're used to. This... is something else. I Love Paris sends that message loud and ...

by J Hunter
An accomplished sideman (Dave Valentin, James Spaulding, Claudio Roditi) and a graduate of William Paterson University's acclaimed jazz studies program, woodwind multi-instrumentalist Jim Saltzman is a mainstay of the New York and Philadelphia jazz scenes.

Eklund arranged the ten tunes on the CD and composed all of them except Bjork's “Isobel, “All The Things You Are and Lee Morgan's “Totem Pole.

Richie Cole and the Alto Madness Orchestra: Rise's Rose Garden
by C. Michael Bailey
Risë's Rose Garden is a compelling, if not profound, statement of Richie Cole's vision of “Alto Madness, the saxophonist's respectful allusion to the Sonny Rollins/John Coltrane lower reed affliction. The disc was recorded in the wake of Cole's wife's death last year--and if, as paraphrased by the late Will Durant, the greatest beauty is begat of ...
Richie Cole and the Alto Madness Orchestra: Rise's Rose Garden
by Jack Bowers
There's often more in a package of music than meets the eye--or ear. I don't know how difficult it must have been for saxophonist Richie Cole to produce this album, but I can imagine. The Risë in the title is Cole's wife, who passed away last April, only a few weeks before the album was recorded. ...
