Eddie Henderson: Reemergence
by Douglas Payne
Trumpeter Eddie Henderson has recorded more consistently throughout the 1990s (for Steeplechase and Milestone) than he did during the previous decade, so this really isn't a “reemergence" at all. It is, however, among one of his finest albums since what remains his very best--his first two kosimgroovy solo albums, cut for Capricorn in 1973 and inexcusably ...
Joe Locke/David Hazletine Quartet: Mutual Admiration Society
by Douglas Payne
Consummate relational jazz seems completely outdated. Groups are thrown together in studios to record music obviously calculated to sell. To guess, special-guest announcements for jazz records that include the names Wynton Marsalis or John Medeski must get cash registers to ring.But such back-in-the-day collaborations as Duke Ellington and John Coltrane - designed to send ...
Dena DeRose: Another World
by Jack Bowers
In his liner notes to Another World, singer/pianist Dena DeRose’s second Sharp Nine release, Bruce Crowther affirms that DeRose is a superb Jazz pianist. Not much cause for argument there. He goes on to say she’s a superb Jazz singer too. Well . . . I haven’t heard many of those lately, and good as she ...
Joe Locke / David Hazeltine Quartet: Mutual Admiration Society
by Jack Bowers
This is a sparkling, deeply–grooved session by four seasoned pros whose musical temperaments are perfectly harmonized. While Locke and Hazeltine, both 40, have known each other for more than a decade, Mutual Admiration Society marks their first collaborative effort in a recording studio, one in which the reciprocal esteem is evident from start to finish. Locke ...
Dena DeRose: Another World
by Joel Roberts
The story goes that Dena DeRose took up singing when a hand injury kept her from playing the piano for two years. Today she probably looks on that injury as a blessing, since she has developed into one of the hottest young singer-pianists in jazz. Like the best jazz singers, from Anita O'Day to Betty Carter ...
Tardo Hammer: Hammer Time
by C. Andrew Hovan
Well, according to the promotional advertising that accompanies this release, Tardo Hammer is known around the New York area as one of the underground greats of bebop piano. After a few spins of this disc, his maiden voyage, one would be hard pressed to suggest that the accolades were mere hype. This pianist is indeed a ...
Eddie Henderson: Reemergence
by C. Andrew Hovan
Considering that he's approaching his 60th birthday, you'd think that trumpeter Eddie Henderson would be better known than what he is. But of course we also have to take into consideration that there are actually two Eddies- the jazz musician and Dr. Henderson the practicing psychiatrist. Yet despite his dual activities and the limitations of a ...
Joe Locke/David Hazeltine: Mutual Admiration Society
by C. Andrew Hovan
It's only about half way through the year, but this one proves to be strong contender for one of the best releases of 1999. The little label that could out of Westfield, New Jersey keeps cranking out some vigorous and very substantial music and so it should come to no surprise that they would be behind ...
