After her beautiful piano trio outing, Love and Beauty (Thirteenth Note Records, 2007), ...

Glenn White: Sacred Machines

Read "Sacred Machines" reviewed by Jay Deshpande

by Jay Deshpande

New York-based saxophonist Glenn White presents a set of eloquent and somewhat haunting tunes on Sacred Machines. The machines herein are a platform for the strong soloists in the ensemble, but the album's unity comes from a common palette that transcends the bandleader's harmonic tendencies (White wrote six of the disc's seven songs). Sacred Machines presents ...
