by Dan McClenaghan
In assigning colors to a musician's “sound," does alto saxophonist Lena Hovanesian blow orange? Maybe. On her debut CD, irwinorange, the title taken from the 2014 Franklin Evans' painting of the same name, Hovanesian's alto has a citrus-y tang, as she explores, sonically, her love of abstract art and natural beauty of Hawaii and her native ...

by Dan Bilawsky
Trombonist John Fedchock may be a seasoned veteran, but he's not set in his ways as a player, arranger, or composer.
