Philip Catherine/Brussels Jazz Orchestra: Meeting Colours

Read "Meeting Colours" reviewed by Jack Bowers


I've sometimes wondered why guitarists don't record more often with big bands. Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass, among others, proved that such a marriage can work quite well, as does Belgian maestro Philip Catherine--who reminds me of Pass--on this impressive new album with the world-class Brussels Jazz Orchestra.

Philip Catherine: Summer Night

Read "Summer Night" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


Blistering... Philip Catherine has a guitar tone like that of the shine of hot mercury pouring from a stainless steel cylinder. His latest recording, Summer Night is replete with such a tone on both fusionesque pieces and more mainstream standard fare. Catherine deftly employs electric effects, always tastefully, to make his playing more fluid. “Tiger Groove" ...

Philip Catherine: Guitar Groove

Read "Guitar Groove" reviewed by Ed Kopp


If you like melodic guitar-based jazz, Guitar Groove is not to be missed.This CD is divided into two parts, one a section of seven relatively up-tempo numbers collected under the heading “Groove," the other a concise six-song segment entitled “Quiet Moments." It's a masterful effort that finds Catherine on both electric and acoustic guitars, ...

Toots Sweet

Read "Toots Sweet" reviewed by AAJ Staff


When most people think of the harmonica, they usually picture Ackroyd and Belushi soulin' it up in black suits, southern fried wah-wah blues or a scene from within a jail cell at state prison. Now that's not jazz. But, one man managed to create something unique with the harmonica that no one could ever imagine in ...
