David Murray: Like A Kiss That Never Ends
by Mark Corroto
Ever since David Murray's arrival on the seventies New York loft scene, he has been hailed as the heir to Albert Ayler, John Coltrane, and Ben Webster. He has also been assailed for lacking imagination, proper technique, and authenticity. Perhaps this wide range of opinion reflects the fact that Murray has spoken with many voices over ...
Hugh Ragin: Fanfare & Fiesta
by Jim Santella
Recorded last June, this session moves in three distinct directions. Two cameo appearances by Clark Terry invite a lighthearted swing element. The title track moves toward creative improvised music, and yet is still in line with the mainstream. The remainder of the album invites unpredictable behavior through composed counterpoint and exciting solo performances. Hugh Ragin, 50, ...
David Murray: Like A Kiss That Never Ends
by AAJ Staff
Saxophonist David Murray is like a kiss that never ends, courtesy of his amazing recorded output going back over two decades. Fresh on the heels of the new millenium, Murray returns with Like A Kiss. Throughout his recorded work, he's maintained high standards--yet he always seems bent on skirting predictability. Each new disc reflects a different ...
Hugh Ragin: Fanfare & Fiesta
by AAJ Staff
Until 1999, Hugh Ragin was vastly under-recorded. Appearing sporadically with David Murray, Anthony Braxton, D.D. Jackson or Roscoe Mitchell, Ragin inserted his individualistic style into his sounds, provoking an undercurrent of demand for more fully realized work. Justin Time followed up on Ragin's promise when it released An Afternoon In Harlem last year, a message-laden project ...

Hugh Ragin Trumpet Ensemble with Clark Terry: Fanfare & Fiesta
by AAJ Staff
Despite his involvement in other players' groups (most notably David Murray's ensembles), trumpeter Hugh Ragin rarely takes the spotlight for himself. In those rare moments when this Denver-based player leads a group, however, his vision and open-mindedness shine. On Fanfare & Fiesta, Ragin breaks the mold by improvising in a trumpet quartet (with a rhythm section ...
John Stetch: Heavens Of A Hundred Days
by Jim Santella
Pianist John Stetch has assembled an eclectic, modern mainstream program for his 6th album as leader. The pianist’s improvising quartet weaves distinct impressions around various themes. From the ancient Japanese harmony of Stetch’s “Urakawa” to his Erik Satie tinged “Rondeau,” the pianist/composer swings with an intellectual acumen. Standards receive a smooth texture with a vibrant dynamic ...
John Stetch: Heavens of a Hundred Days
by David Adler
Pianist John Stetch enlists tenor saxophonist Bill McHenry, bassist Ben Street, and drummer Jeff Ballard on this contemplative yet stimulating release. Each track is paired in the liner notes with a quotation or reference that served as Stetch's inspiration. These diverse influences range from Rilke, Kandinsky, and singer/songwriter Mike Rud to political theorist Benjamin Barber. Stetch's ...
