The Herbie Nichols Project: Strange City
by C. Andrew Hovan
Since 1992, the Herbie Nichols Project has been dedicated to performing the music of a gentleman who in his lifetime was sadly neglected but who left behind a body of work just as idiosyncratic and distinctive as that of Thelonious Monk. Following their two previous releases, Dr. Cyclop’s Dream and Love Is Proximity, the group now ...

Sam Newsome: Global Unity

Sam Newsome: Global Unity
by AAJ Staff
Sam Newsome extends his radical departure into the realm of world beat on his latest disc.

He traded in his main ax, tenor saxophone, for the soprano ...
Gregory Tardy: Abundance

His path has crossed with a number of recognizable names: Andrew Hill, Wynton Marsalis, Jay McShann. Evidently heavily influenced by ...
