Tim Hegarty: Tribute
by Dan Bilawsky
Tim Hegarty's Tribute is an audible panegyric on the great saxophonist-composers. It's a well-crafted, straightforward date that highlights Hegarty's love for those who've come before and the work that they've done on paper and on record.

Hans Ulrik: Still Searching
by Robin Arends
It is not easy to classify Danish saxophonist Hans Ulrik. He dedicates himself as easily to movie soundtracks and jingles as to an album of Latin or Christmas music.

Scott Wilson & Stark Raving: Kackle Jackle
by Glenn Astarita
The album artwork looks more conducive for video game fare, but trumpeter Scott Wilson who heads the jazz program at the University of Florida directs this hip nonet through a rather stout course of action.

A lot of words have clicked out of the keyboards concerning the possible demise of the compact disc. Maybe CDs will suffer the extinction, maybe not.

Daniel Smith: Smokin' Hot Bassoon Blues
by Hrayr Attarian
It is rare that a jazz album comes with laugh out loud moments but bassoonist Daniel Smith's Smokin' Hot Bassoon Blues is full of them.
