Fly: Sky & Country
by Jeff Stockton
15 years ago Mark Turner was among a trio of young tenors who were poised to have a lasting impact on jazz. However, having not had Joshua Redman's pedigree or James Carter's flair for self-promotion, Turner's major-label output came and went without generating the attention a musician of his caliber deserved. Today he is a member ...

by Joel Roberts
Pianist, writer, producer and arranger Allen Toussaint can justifiably be called a living legend. A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he helped define the New Orleans R&B sound of the '60s and '70s through his work with Lee Dorsey, Irma Thomas, The Meters and Dr. John, then went on to collaborate with ...

Mark Turner & Fly
by Matthew Miller
From the first authoritative notes of Sky & Country, the trio Fly's new release on ECM records, saxophonist Mark Turner lays out a conundrum. Over the ambling underpinnings of bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballard, the saxophonist conjures a sense of ease while unleashing a stream of ideas that take him from the middle to ...
Fly: Sky & Country
by Mark Corroto
Oh, the modesty of the members of the trio known as Fly. They might just as well have called themselves Super Fly--their initial release for ECM Records is indeed special. Saxophonist Mark Turner, bassist Larry Grenadier, and drummer Jeff Ballard all contribute compositions to Sky & Country, which follows their debut, FLY (Savoy, 2004), ...
Take Five With Carlos Redman
by AAJ Staff
Meet Carlos Redman: A Detroit native, Carlos Redman is one of a new breed of modern experimental trumpeters of the current generation. Blending a sultry combination of hip-hop, R&B, rock, and classical in jazz genres, the young horn player continues to defy boundaries as he is often drawn in comparison to the great Donald ...
Fly: Sky & Country
by John Kelman
Despite a debut that failed to generate much noise, Fly's sophomore effort--its first for ECM- -ought to.

Dave Holland's Triplicate (ECM, ...
