One For All: Live at Smoke, Volume 1

Read "Live at Smoke, Volume 1" reviewed by David A. Orthmann


As anyone who frequents jazz clubs will attest, there are nights that live on in memory for years after the last note fades. Aside from basic details easily recalled (personnel, tunes, arrangements, etc.), what really matters is the way the music made us feel. On these rare occasions, the sounds were so potent that, for a ...

One For All: Live at Smoke- Volume 1

Read "Live at Smoke- Volume 1" reviewed by C. Andrew Hovan


Growing out of a weekly jam session that drummer Joe Farnsworth used to lead at a New York club called Augie’s, the hard bop ensemble One For All now encompasses a pool of leaders who still manage to get together and cultivate the kind of musical empathy that they’ve developed over the years. After two initial ...

Read "The End of a Love Affair" reviewed by C. Andrew Hovan


Things just aren’t what they used to be and we’re not just talking about life these days post September 11th. From a jazz standpoint, the renaissance movement that was ushered in during the ‘80s seems to have run its course in many ways.

Read "The Long Haul" reviewed by David A. Orthmann

An incomplete but telling list of leaders who have employed and influenced various members of the crew includes Cecil Payne, ...

One For All: The Long Haul

Read "The Long Haul" reviewed by C. Andrew Hovan


Well, you know what they say. There aren’t any real jazz bands anymore and the opportunities for younger musicians to thrive in a working environment are few and far between. Sure, it’s not what it used to be, but all is really not as bleak as some would want us to believe. Guys like Jason Lindner, ...

One For All: Upward and Onward

Read "Upward and Onward" reviewed by David A. Orthmann


Throughout Upward and Onward, One For All’s recently-released disc on Criss Cross, all of the important elements are firmly in place: imaginative arrangements of good tunes; tight ensemble playing; four strong soloists; and a rhythm section that never flags. Although the music is rooted in the hard bop continuum of the 50s and 60s (and occasionally ...

One For All: Upward and Onward

Read "Upward and Onward" reviewed by C. Andrew Hovan


The economic constraints of keeping a jazz ensemble together are such that we've almost seen the disappearance of working bands. That is indeed a grievous situation since the jazz pedigree has so often been marked by historically-important groups. Just consider the Basie and Ellington bands, not to mention the classic John Coltrane Quartet and several premium ...
