Loren Stillman: Blind Date

Read "Blind Date" reviewed by Mark F. Turner

For alto saxophone aficionados, Loren Stillman's Blind Date is an exquisite release. An intrepid artisan with virtuosity, a refined tone and evocative phrasing; it's hard to believe that the London-born musician is only in his twenties. But with a number of recordings as a leader he's showing that practice does indeed strive for perfection.

In questa direzione si muove la più recente produzione discografica dell’alto sassofonista Loren Stillman, qui a capo di un trio solidissimo, con i collaudati Steve LaSpina e il ...

Loren Stillman: Brothers' Breakfast & Trio Alto Volume One

by Budd Kopman
February 1, 2007

When he finally hit the limelight, saxophonist Loren Stillman seemed to come out of nowhere, fully formed--or at least with a clear composing technique and playing style, both of them distinctive and recognizable. However, an “overnight sensation" is rarely that and How Sweet It Is (Nagel Heyer, 2003), the album that signaled the arrival of a ...

October 18, 2006

Nel precedente, quasi contemporaneo It Could Be Anything, Loren Stillman, ex enfante terrible del sax contralto, aveva manifestato la propria maestria di compositore e solista con una delle formazioni più classiche del jazz moderno, ossia piano trio più fiato solista. In questo The Brother’s Breakfast, Stillman mescola le carte: mantiene Jeff Hirshfield alla batteria, sostituisce il ...
