Rich Halley 4: Creating Structure

Read "Creating Structure" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Saxophonist Rich Halley, home-based in Portland, Oregon, has put out seventeen CDs. A good handful of those, pre-2006, were released on the now-dormant Louie Records. These were mostly chordless trio and quartet affairs that showcased Halley's talent for creating category four maelstroms that gelled and bopped their way into surprisingly catchy, damned near mainstream grooves.

Rich Halley 4: The Wisdom of Rocks

Read "The Wisdom of Rocks" reviewed by John Sharpe


Portland-based saxophonist Rich Halley mines a rich seam, despite plying his wares away from the limelight. Halley has been fortunate to overcome the plight of anyone working outside the main centers of jazz activity by finding a coterie of like-minded talents to sympathetically explore his inside/outside conundrums. As a result his discography contains a stream of ...

Read "The Wisdom of Rocks" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Nuovo capitolo della saga di Rich Halley e del suo ormai più che collaudato quartetto, un anno dopo l'apprezzato Crossing the Passes, di cui questo The Wisdom of Rocks riproduce la solidità, la corporeità di tratto, l'invidiabile interscambio tra i fiati (e del resto fra tutti i membri dell'ensemble). Ciò che si avverte ...

Rich Halley 4: The Wisdom of Rocks

Read "The Wisdom of Rocks" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


Tenor saxophonist and composer Rich Halley believes in the wisdom of rocks, or so one must assume from the title of his 16th album as leader, The Wisdom Of Rocks. It's probably smart to acknowledge Halley's expertise in such matters: as a qualified field biologist who lives in Oregon he's no doubt encountered more than a ...

Rich Halley 4: The Wisdom of Rocks

Read "The Wisdom of Rocks" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Portland, Oregon, based saxophonist Rich Halley calls his 2014 quartet outing The Wisdom of Rocks, and on the disc' opener, “The Atoll," he blusters out of a two horn intro--with trombonist Michael Vlatkovich--into a tenor sax solo that sounds as if its roaring from some dark cavern, up out of the bedrock from its origins in ...
