Joe Lovano: Flights of Fancy
by AAJ Staff
While Joe Lovano's first Trio Fascination disc explored the spectrum of musical possibilities within a fixed unit, Edition Two goes exactly the opposite way. With four different trios (and playing seven different instruments), Lovano offers variety--and more to spare. On Flights of Fancy, his second celebration of the trio, Lovano plays roles both as melodic leader ...
Joe Lovano: Flights of Fancy
by James Nichols
Joe Lovano’s most recent release finds the talented saxophonist stretching out in four different trio combinations. Just as Sonny Rollins discovered in his immortal piano-less Village Vanguard performances, a trio allows more freedom than the conventional saxophone settings of a quartet or quintet. The music breathes easily, flirting with both silence and sound. The horns stroll ...

Joe Lovano: Flights Of Fancy: Trio Fascination, Edition Two
by Jim Santella
With four decidedly different trios, Joe Lovano pushes the mainstream jazz envelope along its meandering course.

Consider the nonstandard combinations the leader employs here. Lovano joins Toots Thielemans ...

Jim Hall/Joe Lovano: Grand Slam
by Craig Jolley
Unlike many all-star groups Grand Slam succeeds--they are more than just a jam band. They play a repertoire (Hall and Lovano tunes) suited to this band. They sound rehearsed, and they interact with each other. There is no sense of “I'll coast while you do your thing, and you get of my way when I'm up." ...
