Joe Lovano, Jim Hall, George Mraz, Lewis Nash: Grand Slam: Live at the Regattabar

by David Adler
October 1, 2000

At first glance this may seem like a thrown-together all-star session. It’s actually an inspired collaboration between four heavyweights who have all worked together in various projects over the years. The pairing of Jim Hall and Joe Lovano is propitious from the very first notes of Hall’s “Slam," one of the wildest blues heads you’ll ever ...

by Jim Santella
June 1, 2000

Although there are only ten artists and three of them share the tenor saxophone chair, Joe Lovano’s latest Blue Note album is a big band affair made possible by gifted arranger Willie “Face" Smith. Compositions by Tadd Dameron and other well-known bebop legends from the 52nd Street era represent lovely mood-setting devices for each soloist. And ...

Joe Lovano: 52nd Street Themes

Read "52nd Street Themes" reviewed by Mark Corroto

May 1, 2000

First a disclaimer: this writer was born a Cleveland Indians and Browns fan. As a jazz listener I've taken much pride in Ohio's native sons and jazz daughters; Art Tatum, Rashaan Roland Kirk, Albert Ayler, Joe Henderson, and Nancy Wilson. While I admit some bias toward the recordings of Cleveland's own Joe Lovano, I hope you ...

Joe Lovano Nonet: 52nd Street Themes

Read "52nd Street Themes" reviewed by David Adler

by David Adler
May 1, 2000

While Joe Lovano has played some decidedly non-mainstream music during his career, this record is a powerful reminder of the tenor giant’s debt to the tradition. Still, the music has that unmistakable Lovano edge. Joined by what is in essence a small big band, Lovano pays tribute to the legendary players and composers of the bebop ...

Joe Lovano/Greg Osby: Friendly Fire

by Robert Spencer
December 1, 1999

Friendly Fire is aptly named, for in the grand tradition of two-horn jam sessions dating back to Sonny Rollins' legendary matchup with John Coltrane, “Tenor Madness," Joe Lovano and Greg Osby here meet not to compete, but to collaborate, share, prod, intertwine, and perhaps only occasionally - and gently - squabble. There is fire, and it ...
