Claire Daly: Swing Low
by Robert Spencer
If you think female wind players are limited to the flute or oboe, with an occasional soprano or alto saxophonist thrown in, get ready for Claire Daly, who plays baritone sax with a big roundhouse sound - although from the looks of the cover photo of “Swing Low" it's almost as big as she is. But ...
Rob Reddy's Honor System: Songs That You Can Trust
by Glenn Astarita
Your speakers are liable to wilt and degenerate into molten rubble while playing the opening track titled, “Thread"! Here, the powerhouse rhythm section of drummer Pheeroan Aklaff and bassist Dom Richards drive spikes into the earth as guitarist Jef Lee Johnson enhances tension and excitement with blistering electric guitar lines. Well, Rob Reddy's Honor System follow ...
Metropole Orchestra / Bart van Lier: Twilight Time
by Jack Bowers
The Netherlands Metropole Orchestra, which spends much of its studio time supporting well–known Jazz musicians from other countries, showcases one of its own, the buttery–toned trombonist Bart van Lier, on Twilight. Van Lier, a master of his instrument if ever there was one, has long been a mainstay in the Metropole Orchestra (and many other top–flight ...
Joel Forrester and the Illustrious Others: Pre-Microscopic Music Circa 1980
by Jack Bowers
Unlike its enigmatic description (what does “pre–microscopic music” mean?), the material performed by pianist Joel Forrester and the Illustrious Others is on the whole quick–witted, forthright and accessible. The “others” appear in various configurations from trio to septet with Forrester’s piano unaccompanied on “Mary” and “Dr. Real.” Forrester, Dellay and Dworkin make an auspicious start with ...
Clare Fischer / Metropole Orchestra: The Latin Side
by Jack Bowers
Continuing its series of collaborations with well–known American Jazz musicians, the Netherlands Metropole Orchestra travels south of the border, figuratively speaking, for a program of Latin Jazz by one of its leading exponents, composer/pianist Clare Fischer. The eight studio tracks, conducted by longtime music director Rob Pronk, were recorded in 1991; the ninth, “C.P.,” was recorded ...
People Like Us: Believe It
by Jack Bowers
For people like us who prefer their modern mainstream Jazz fresh and inventive, there’s People Like Us, a superbly synchronized and consistently enterprising quartet led by pianist Joel Forrester, featuring the wonderful baritone saxophonist Claire Daly and securely anchored by bassist Dave Hofstra and drummer Denis Charles who died in March ’98 after 23 years as ...
Claire Daly: Swing Low
by Jack Bowers
Oh, how I’d love to use this disc as part of a blindfold test for those who roll their eyes or otherwise show their disdain when the discussion turns to women in Jazz who do anything other than sing or play the piano. I can almost picture the looks of shock and disbelief as I disclose ...
Andy Bey: Experience and Judgement
by Larry Grogan
When Andy Bey's 1996 album, 'Blues Ballads and Bey' appeared on the scene, the first impression was of a genius, cut from whole cloth. Like Kaspar Hauser, he appeared as if from nowhere, fully formed. But Andy Bey was no newcomer. He had a recording and performing history that stretched back almost 40 years. He recorded ...
