Will Campbell: Think Tank
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Every once in awhile there emerges a record that is brimful with sinewy, simply honest music that reverberates from one song to another and leaves echoes of melodies or twists and turns in the musicians' solos long after the last notes of the record have died down. This is how alto saxophonist Will Campbell's debut as ...
Amarelo Manga: Verso Preso
by Raul d'Gama Rose

Erica Lindsay / Sumi Tonooka: Initiation
by Raul d'Gama Rose

And then there have ...

Charles Evans / Neil Shah: Live at Saint Stephens
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Live At Saint Stephens with baritone saxophonist Charles Evans and pianist Neil Shah-- together with the Dan Tepfer/Lee Konitz Duos With Lee (Sunnyside Records, 2009)--is certainly one of the most wildly adventurous records in recent memory. It is not quite entirely spontaneous or improvisational as some of Keith Jarrett's records are. But playing under a magisterial ...
Harry Allen: New York State of Mind
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The big, fat, warm and tender tone of Harry Allen's tenor saxophone is impossible to miss. There is no one who sounds quite like him, and that is probably because no other saxophonist has embraced the tenor horn in a similar way. No one since Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster has mined the wealth of that ...
