Bill Watrous/Temple Jazz Orchestra: Live

by Jack Bowers
March 6, 2005

This is the second recording by the Temple (Texas) Jazz Orchestra (following '01's Soft Lights, Sweet Music ) and this time Tom Fairlie's forceful ensemble has some help--we're talking big-time help in the person of superstar trombonist Bill Watrous, whose upper-register pyrotechnics enhance all but the opening number of this high-kicking concert recorded in March '03. ...

Ricardo Silveira and Luiz Avellar: Live: Play the Music of Milton Nascimento

by Woodrow Wilkins
January 15, 2005

There's a musical relationship between Brazil and the United States that transcends tourism and politics. Each nation gave birth to its own style of music. Yet those styles, jazz and what many Brazilians refer to as “typical" Brazilian music, when performed by competent musicians, can be interchangeable.Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Gilberto and Djavan are ...

After living in the US for twenty years where, amongst other things, he was a member of the early fusion group Fourth Way, Nock returned to Australia. ...

The Miami Saxophone Quartet: Live

by Jack Bowers
March 7, 2004

This album could be called “The Miami Saxophone Quartet Plus,” as every member of the synchronous South Florida-based group doubles (and sometimes triples) on other instruments, and there are talented guest artists on three of the seven selections. Like most such groups, the MSQ is very much into rich tonal colors and intricate harmonic schemes interlaced ...

Nat Janoff and Jake Schwartz: Live

by Walter Kolosky
March 4, 2004

A lot of professional guitar players are going to listen to this live album and determine they must abruptly change career paths. The playing is that good. There are truly only a handful of jazz players who can claim a unique voice on acoustic guitar. John Scofield once said that is why he doesn’t play it. ...

Although the latter group was a five sax unit augmented by trumpet and rhythm that specialized in performing the ...
