Steve Heckman Quartet / Quintet: Born To Be Blue
by Dan Bilawsky
Saxophonist Steve Heckman often intentionally stands in the shadow of John Coltrane, as demonstrated on With John In Mind {World City Music, 2003) and Live At Yoshi's (World City Music, 2005), but he's no Coltrane clone.

Joe Clark Big Band featuring Jeff Hamilton: Lush
by Nicholas F. Mondello
