Jason Marshall: New Beginnings

by Jack Bowers
Anyone who appreciates the thunderous sound of an assertive baritone sax should love New Beginnings, an emphatic quartet date that shines a light on Jason Marshall's muscular horn and keeps it there from start to finish. While his teammates (Marc Cary, piano; Gerald Cannon, bass; Willie Jones III, drums) converse eloquently on every ...

Fat Kid Big Band: New Beginnings

by Jack Bowers
Note to Montreal's Fat Kid Big Band: If you really want to make a favorable first impression on your audience, move the opening track on New Beginnings, Bustin' My Ass," and replace it with any of the album's five instrumental numbers.

Michael O'Neill & Kenny Washington: New Beginnings

by Dan Bilawsky
Multi-reedist Michael O'Neill gets top billing here, but there's little doubt that the star attraction is singer Kenny Washington, one of the most under-recognized vocal talents operating today.

Brulee: New Beginnings

by C. Michael Bailey
Jazz has always been about being musically clever in inventive ways. Consider only Charlie Parker saying, on October 24, 1947, I'm going to play Embraceable You," winking, and then playing a completely different melody over the harmonic structure, and the cleverness in jazz is defined. Now, add a sense of humor to the proceedings and the ...
