Joe Lovano: Paramount Quartet

Read "Paramount Quartet" reviewed by Sue Yang


The risk with a new Joe Lovano recording is that listeners may hear the résumé before the band. The Blue Note Records years, the long triangular history with Paul Motian and Bill Frisell, and the more austere ECM Records terrain of Trio Tapestry (2019) all sit close to the surface of Lovano's sound. Paramount Quartet quickly ...

Julian Lage: Scenes From Above

Read "Scenes From Above" reviewed by Jack Kenny


There are always expectations when Julian Lage plays: effortless, assured virtuosity and melodic finesse. Those qualities are present here, but they are deliberately understated, subsumed within a broader emphasis on collective interplay. Produced by Joe Henry, the album resists any attempt to remake Speak to Me. Instead, Lage sought to create an egalitarian session, ...

From there, Fred moved to New York ...
