Ken Fowser and Behn Gillece: Duotone
by Bruce Lindsay
The tenor and vibes partnership of Ken Fowser and Behn Gillece has already established its credentials as an imaginative and innovative creator of cool-swinging straight-ahead jazz. Duotone, the duo's third album, reinforces those credentials with a fresh set of original tunes. As with their previous Posi-Tone releases--Full View (2009) and Little Echo (2010)--Duotone ...
Patrick Cornelius: Maybe Steps
by Dan Bilawsky
Fierce (Whirlwind, 2010) found alto saxophonist Patrick Cornelius in fine, feisty form, as he worked through his own winning compositions in a piano-less trio with occasional guests format, but he's following a more reflective line of musical thought with a stellar quintet on Maybe Steps. This album is a mostly-original set of music with pensive pieces ...
Kenny Shanker: Steppin' Up
by Dan Bilawsky
Alto Saxophonist Kenny Shanker is proof that an artist's direction isn't always reflected in their tonal personality. Shanker possesses a sleek-and-sweet tone that has served him well on dates with big name ghost band, like the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, as well as smooth-leaning pianist David Benoit, but his own music operates ...
Patrick Cornelius: Maybe Steps
by Bruce Lindsay
Maybe Steps is alto saxophonist Patrick Cornelius' third album, and his first for the excellent Los Angeles-based Posi-Tone Records. He's joined by the talented rhythm section of pianist Gerald Clayton, bassist Peter Slavov and drummer Kendrick Scott in a graceful and melodically strong performance, mostly of his original tunes. Cornelius' compositions swing gracefully, ...
Art Hirahara: Noble Path
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dalla Bay Area a New York, dal free alla musica più tradizionale: la carriera del pianista Art Hirahara non si lascia mettere in alcun steccato convenzonale. Ha lavorato con esponenti dell'avanguardia come il sassofonista Fred Ho, con Dave Douglas, Jim Black, ed allo stesso tempo affrontato con serietà professionale le coordinate del mainstream. Con il suo ...
Nick Hempton: The Business
by Jerry D'Souza
On his self-produced debut, Nick Hempton Band (2009), saxophonist Nick Hempton showed a deft sense of humor through his liner notes. No witticisms mark the release of The Business, but another factor that was evident on the first manifests itself all over again: Hempton is a saxophonist of class.
Kenny Shanker: Steppin' Up
by Bruce Lindsay
Kenny Shanker has worked extensively since graduating from the Manhattan School of Music in 2001, playing with the New World Symphony, and the Tommy Dorsey and Nelson Riddle Orchestras, among others. The young alto saxophonist recorded his debut album as leader, Steppin' Up, in April 2009 but it's taken almost two-and-a-half years for it to be ...
Patrick Cornelius: Maybe Steps
by Mark F. Turner
With the talent to convey thought-provoking stories through his music, Patrick Cornelius pens a fresh chapter of personal and emotive composition in Maybe Steps, his third release as a leader. The recording follows the alto saxophonist's well-received debut, Lucid Dream (Self Produced, 2006) and the more groove-oriented Fierce (Whirlwind Recordings Ltd., 2010), both filled with robust ...
