Joe Morris Quartet: Today On Earth

Read "Today On Earth" reviewed by Troy Collins


Since taking up the bass in 2000, guitarist Joe Morris has split his recording and performing time between his new upright and his original axe. While growing considerably as a bassist, both as a sideman and leader, Morris maintains a singular approach to the guitar, placing him in the upper echelon of present day improvisers.

The Fully Celebrated: Drunk on the Blood of the Holy Ones

Read "Drunk on the Blood of the Holy Ones" reviewed by John Sharpe


For Drunk on the Blood of the Holy Ones, Boston's The Fully Celebrated have dropped the orchestral tag from their name, but retain their wide ranging eclecticism, all transmuted through a jazz prism. Though altoist Jim Hobbs composed all eight tracks, it is the tight syncopation of bassist Timo Shanko and drummer Django Carranza that breathes ...

Jim Hobbs: The Story of Mankind

Read "The Story of Mankind" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Musicista dell'area di Boston, Jim Hobbs, come tanti prima di lui e molti che verranno, meriterebbe più attenzioni di quelle che riceve. Chi scrive ne incrociò l'acidissimo contralto in un Silkheart di qualche anno fa, licenziato a nome della Fully Celebrated Orchestra [Orchestra si fa per dire, visto che in realtà si trattava di un trio ...

Jim Hobbs / Joe Morris / Luther Gray: The Story Of Mankind

Read "The Story Of Mankind" reviewed by Nic Jones


There are numerous precedents for alto sax-bass-drums trios, and it's to the credit of this one that they manage to stake out their own territory in a well-populated area. Whilst the music they make is rooted in free bop territory they also have no qualms about covering more rarefied ground and the results are by turns ...
