Myron Walden: This Way
by Mark F. Turner
There have been many notable jazz saxophone pairings recalling the great collaboration of John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley on Kind of Blue (Legacy, 1959), including several very recent recordings with younger players like John O'Gallagher's Axiom, where the altoist is matched with tenor Tony Malaby. The duality and contrast of reed tones propelled by the unique ...

by Rico Cleffi
John O'Gallagher Line of Sight Fresh Sound-New Talent Comparison can be useful in a review. In the case of John O'Gallagher's Line of Sight, there was something familiar, composition-wise, I just couldn't put my finger on.

by AAJ Staff
John O'Gallagher's latest album sounds focused on a narrow band of sound, in that the compositions are all built around an interval of a fourth, with a series of syncopations appearing in each line.

John O'Gallagher/Masa Kamaguchi/Jay Rosen: Rules Of Invisibility Volume 1
by AAJ Staff
Saxophonist John O'Gallagher spearheads this provocative, rewarding trio outing as he, bassist Masa Kamaguchi, and drummer Jay Rosen turn some standards inside out without ever losing sight of the melodies or chord changes. These particular performances cover a wide range of approaches from ruminative unmetered free rhythms to robust swinging, with due consideration given to some ...
John O'Gallagher: Abacus
by John Kelman
Watching an expert use an abacus, it is striking how random the movements appear to be, even though they are absolutely mathematically precise and ultimately yield an accurate result. Saxophonist John O'Gallagher's latest release is aptly titled Abacus , as the complexity of the material sometimes gives it an appearance of randomness; but it is clear ...
