Chris Welcome: Quartet

Read "Quartet" reviewed by Terrell Kent Holmes


The eleven tracks here seem to be painted as much as played and the music is sometimes about effects as much as notes. The sequential numbering of these spare compositions, all penned by guitarist/ leader Chris Welcome, recalls the method of numbering paintings in a series, thus underscoring the artistic parallel. The songs ...

McCoy Tyner: Quartet

Read "Quartet" reviewed by Jeff Stockton


It seems grossly unfair that the debonair, elegant elder statesman on the cover of Quartet, a document of the concerts McCoy Tyner and his band gave on Dec. 30th-31st, 2006 at Yoshi's in Oakland, would still be trying to live up to the reputation for excellence he established with the John Coltrane Quartet some forty-plus years ...

Pat Metheny / Brad Mehldau: Quartet

Read "Quartet" reviewed by Doug Collette


The second installment of the Pat Metheny/Brad Mehldau collaboration illustrates how the most accomplished and established musicians endure growing pains as they learn to work together. Even a partnership as complementary as this one benefits from a guiding hand or, alternately, suffers for lack of one. Make no mistake, the presence of Larry Grenadier's bass and ...

Metheny Mehldau: Quartet

Read "Quartet" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski


Distinguished musicians playing and recording together tells you that the sky will be the limit for its potential. The collaboration between guitarist Pat Metheny and piano prodigy Brad Mehldau was so fruitful that the initial session that gave us the brilliant Mehldau/Metheny duo album, also produced Quartet, with Mehldau's standard Trio joining forces. ...

Metheny Mehldau: Quartet

Read "Quartet" reviewed by John Kelman


In many ways Quartet--the second disc culled from the December, 2005 collaboration between iconic guitarist Pat Metheny and the younger but increasingly influential pianist Brad Mehldau--is the record that Pat Metheny Group's final Geffen album, 1996's Quartet, should have been. While the Metheny Group record had its charms, it was the closest thing to a contractual ...

Metheny Mehldau: Quartet

Read "Quartet" reviewed by Stephen Wood


One sure sign of musicianship is adaptability. And it is precisely because Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau possess this very quality that Quartet is so captivating. I find it hard to imagine how a pair of musicians could deliver such a subtly different mood in their second release than in their first. But the guitarist and ...
