Gary Urwin Jazz Orchestra: Kindred Spirits

Read "Kindred Spirits" reviewed by Jim Santella


With special guests Bill Watrous and Pete Christlieb on board, this big band session really smokes. Gary Urwin's third CD recording puts both guests in the spotlight alongside the band's capable roster of Los Angeles all-stars. The frequent musical conversations between Watrous and Christlieb (trading fours) gives Kindred Spirits a beautiful luster. Their sleek, ...

The Gary Urwin Jazz Orchestra: Kindred Spirits

Read "Kindred Spirits" reviewed by Jack Bowers


When I'm listening to a big band album for the first time, the “grin factor usually comes into play. The wider the smile, the greater the excitement and pleasure. As Gary Urwin's smoking arrangement of Lester Young's “Lester Leaps In sprang through the headphones, I was grinning from ear to ear, and the smile seldom slackened ...

Avram Fefer and Bobby Few: Kindred Spirits

Read "Kindred Spirits" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

Few played for ten years with Steve Lacy, and Fefer put out several fine sets on the CIMP label; they ...

Avram Fefer and Bobby Few: Kindred Spirits

Read "Kindred Spirits" reviewed by Chad Kushins


Sometimes lightning strikes twice. As proof, legendary expatriate Bobby Few has teamed with fellow sound explorer Avram Fefer for two fresh releases of very different character, and with near-perfect results. On the aptly-titled Kindred Spirits, Few and Fefer offer a slower, more blues-laden repertoire than the more free jazz-oriented Heavenly Places. But don't let this accessibility ...

Paul VornHagen: Kindred Spirits

Read "Kindred Spirits" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


The opener on multiple-reedman/vocalist Paul VornHagen's Kindred Spirits, “Namely You," kicks the set off on a relaxed straight-ahead vibe, with the leader blowing a robust tenor sax lead. The sound feels loose, like Ben Webster—Ellington's most famous tenor saxophonist—playing out in front of a bunch of top-notch accompanists. Cal Tjader's “Mindanao," featuring VornHagen on flute, takes ...
