Hugh Ragin: Revelation
by Jim Santella
With his virtuosic quartet in a session of his own compositions, trumpeter Hugh Ragin retains the tradition of jazz history while forging ahead in an avant-garde direction. The quartet lays down a heavy, walking bass foundation and a constant, surrounding, drum texture over which trumpet and tenor saxophone explore. Ragin's trumpet tone employs an edge that ...
Buyu Ambroise: Blues in Red
by Jim Santella
Combining soulful blues with traditional Haitian music, saxophonist Alix “Buyu" Ambroise creates a session filled with heartfelt spirit and founded on lively Latin rhythms. The program moves smoothly through lyrical melodies and mournful airs. Hence, his Latin jazz program folds in the best of both worlds. Ambroise's soulful saxophone lead replaces the chant of ...

by AAJ Staff
Houston-born and Colorado-based trumpeter Hugh Ragin long ago grasped the essential connections between modern jazz sophistication and soulful energy, but he has never articulated them as clearly and comprehensively on record as on Revelation.

But it would be a reasonable statement that the simpler the music, the more overtly emotive it has to be, because when you strip music down ...
Various Artists: Justin Time For Christmas Four
by Mark Sabbatini
The problem with too many multi-artist compilation albums is they tend to feel like catalogues--which, ironically enough, is not endearing in a Christmas album. Justin Time For Christmas 4 suffers from this sin, so to speak, then complicates it in a further bit of irony: the handful of artists who turn in performances worthy of further ...
Russell Gunn: Ethnomusicology Vol. 4: Live in Atlanta
by John Kelman
As an alternative to Wynton Marsalis, who steadfastly hangs onto the singular American Jazz Tradition and, granted, eloquently and skillfully keeps it alive through his playing, educating and entrepreneuring, trumpeter Russell Gunn has shown an unerring desire over the course of the past ten years to merge styles into a personal language that asserts jazz as ...
David Murray: Gwotet
by Russ Musto
