Rich Halley 4: The Wisdom of Rocks
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
by Hrayr Attarian
Over the span of a uniformly superb career, saxophonist Rich Halley and his working quartet have blended sophisticated style and unbridled vigor into impeccable performances that brim with creative energy. Their fourth release The Wisdom Of Rocks is no exception. What is unique about this provocative and exhilarating record is its unadorned beauty and mordant sound. ...
Rich Halley 4: The Wisdom of Rocks
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
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 ...

Rich Halley: Crossing The Passes
by Dave Wayne
In the popular media, jazz is seen as a completely urban phenomenon. There's plenty of precedent for this. It's not worth going into here. But the mere mention of the word “jazz" evokes images of neon- illuminated city streets, ice cubes tinkling in rock glasses, lit cigarettes, and bustling nightlife. For some, though, jazz is not ...
Rich Halley 4: Crossing the Passes
by AAJ Italy Staff
A trent'anni esatti dal primo album a suo nome, l'oggi sessantacinquenne tenorsassofonista (e ottimo compositore: ce lo dimostra questo lavoro) di Portland che risponde al nome di Rich Halley, segnato in gioventù dall'esperienza dell'AACM e poi attivo fra gli altri accanto a Vinny Golia, mette in luce alla testa di questo rodatissimo quartetto doti che farebbe ...
Art Strike!
by Mark Corroto
"Would you support an art strike?" That's the question I've been asking musicians for the past few months. “Will you agree to stop writing and performing music for one year?" In 1990 the London artists Stewart Home and Mark Pawson proposed that all artists cease to “make, exhibit, distribute, sell, or discuss their work" for three ...
Rich Halley 4: Crossing the Passes
by Hrayr Attarian
Saxophonist Rich Halley has always had a thick, brassy tone and a bold and daring improvisational approach. Over the years a certain contemplative wisdom has permeated his music enhancing its intellectual edge without tempering its fiery zeal. The result, as demonstrated on Crossing The Passes is a sublime balance of the cerebral and visceral.On ...
