Brandon Wright: Boiling Point
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The appeal of saxophonist, Brandon Wright comes fast, bearing a rather lyrical swagger. This young tenor player shows plenty of confidence--even cockiness--and a mature attitude on Boiling Point. Wright has a full, round tone and a forthright attack; his fingering is deft, almost like a stage magician, and it bodes with it a whispering glissando in ...
Art Pepper: Unreleased Art Volume 4: The Art History Project
by Jeff Stockton
In her liner notes to Volume IV of the Art History Project, Art Pepper's widow describes him as a self-hating, alcoholic sex addict who turned to heroin in order to suppress these tendencies. Second only to Charlie Parker in the DownBeat polls of the day, nobody played alto saxophone as smooth and cool as Art Pepper. ...
Wallace Roney: If Only for One Night
by John Kelman
Wallace Roney's six-year association with HighNote--beginning with Prototype (2004), followed by Mystikal (2005), and culminating with Jazz (2007)--has allowed the trumpeter to amass a body of work far more indicative of where he's always wanted to be than his largely mainstream run with Muse in the early 1990s.

Frank Glover: Abacus
by AAJ Staff
Every once in a while a musician comes along that lives and breathes the music. It comes out of his brain, his fingers, his mind and heart.

Full of soundscapes that reflect the inner ...
Mike Reed: The Drum Thing
