Joe Lovano Quartet at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola
by David Miller
Joe Lovano with Paul Motian, George Mraz and Mulgrew Miller Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola New York City There's nothing like accompanying a musician to see a show. As well as the constant barrage of, “Hey, that's one of Bird's licks! and “You think that pianist likes Monk, they provide great company. Musicians are ...
Joe Lovano: Joyous Encounter
by John Kelman
A Joyous Encounter indeed. When saxophonist Joe Lovano--an artist who has constantly explored new musical collaborations over the course of nearly 25 recordings as a leader and never looked back--recorded last year's I'm All For You, he knew he had something special. Of course, one look at the lineup--pianist Hank Jones, who, at 86, is the ...
Joe Lovano: Joyous Encounter
by Eric J. Iannelli
An exceptional album in its own right, Joyous Encounter is perhaps best appreciated when heard in light of I'm All for You, the collection of ballads that earned saxophonist Joe Lovano and his all-star quartet--pianist Hank Jones, drummer Paul Motian, and bassist George Mraz--such widespread, enthusiastic praise when it appeared last year. The four musicians have ...
Joe Lovano: Joyous Encounter
by Bret Primack
Joe Lovano is a lucky man and he knows it. “Who would have imagined I'd start playing with Hank Jones when I turned 50, he told me recently after returning from a string of European gigs with the pianist. His respect and admiration for Hank serves as the catalyst for what is now a truly remarkable ...
Joe Lovano: Joyous Encounter
by Jim Santella
The aptly titled Joyous Encounter reunites the best with the best. Unlike last year's I'm All For You, however, this program includes much more than just ballads. Up-tempo jaunts and leisurely strolls balance the program in much the same way that our lives turn each day. And the end result is, of course, a joyous experience ...
Joe Lovano: Joyous Encounter
by Paul Olson
A lot of people seemed to like Joe Lovano's all-ballads record from last year, I'm All For You (Blue Note), and I was one of them: I thought it was his best since Trio Fascination: Edition One (Blue Note, 1998). So it's not that surprising that the All For You quartet of Lovano, pianist Hank Jones, ...

Joe Lovano: The Beauty of Expression
by R.J. DeLuke
There are few things as soulful, it seems, as the sound of the tenor saxophone when played by Joe Lovano. Call him the next great Italian tenor, if you will. He plays with full, robust sound and the instrument, in his hands, is liable to be sweet and ethereal at one moment, or volcanic and explosive ...
Joe Lovano: I'm All For You
by Jim Santella
Joe Lovano’s unique tone gives his ballad album a whispering quality that stays up close and intimate throughout. He’s with you back there at the corner table as you nurse your drink for another hour in one of your town’s respected nightclubs. Most of the crowd has already called it a night, but you’re loving this ...
Joe Lovano: I'm All For You
by Russell Moon
Joe Lovano's I'm All For You is subtitled Ballad Songbook. Every song is taken at a leisurely pace, and the recording reminds me of Charlie Haden's Quartet West album Haunted Heart. All of the renditions are indeed haunting and very soulful. Lovano has collected three of the best to join him—Hank Jones on piano, George Mraz ...
