Joe McPhee Interview
by Michael Anton Parker
This interview was originally published in August 2002. Joe McPhee is having a hard time believing the fact that he is a legend. But it's true, and there are a lot of awfully good reasons for it. First of all, that tone! How can one human being and a metal tube make those sounds? McPhee's horns ...
Joe McPhee: The Sugar Hill Suite & Rules of Engagement, Vol. 2
by Kurt Gottschalk
Trio-X is one of the longest-standing and strongest vehicles for one of the best free-thinking saxophonists around today. Joe McPhee has countless associations, but consistently is at his most relaxed and exploratory with bassist Dominic Duval and drummer Jay Rosen.

Duval & McPhee and Christi & Hassay: Rules of Engagement Vol. 2 & Tribute to Paradise
by Clifford Allen
Reedman Eric Dolphy and bassist Richard Davis created not only some of the most interesting reed-bass duets (if not some of the first) in jazz history, but also laid the groundwork for the conversant duo in realms not just of rhythm (reeds/drums, reeds/piano) but of sound. One just has to think of the ways in which ...

Joe McPhee Po Music: Oleo
by Jeff Stockton
Since his return to active recording and performing in the mid '90s, Joe McPhee's music has always been influenced by the palpable joy he takes from exploring the color and texture of sound. That's why it's startling to hear him tear into the familiar Sonny Rollins-penned title track so conventionally. And why it's even more startling, ...
Joe McPhee Po Music: Oleo
by Clifford Allen
With Po Music, according to McPhee, the group concept centers on the process orientation of “po-," a linguistic prefix signifying possibility and change (Li Po, anyone?). Of course, McPhee has gone through a number of stylistic changes in his career, from high-energy free jazz to funk and R&B, to “deep listening" and chamber jazz outfits. “Po," ...
