Tony Purrone: Temperament
by C. Andrew Hovan
Let’s get right to the nitty gritty. To quote modern parlance, Tony Purrone is one of the “baddest” guitarists that you’ve probably never heard of, and in this case “bad” means something very good indeed. When Mark Gardner’s liners to this latest affair suggest that Purrone has “impeccable technique,” he’s surely engaging in some form of ...
Larry Schneider: Ornettology
by C. Andrew Hovan
A very adaptable saxophonist whose major claim to fame was a brief time spent with Horace Silver back in the late ‘70s, Larry Schneider is not as well known as he should be.

Secondly, a whole generation of Kenny G clones has left some fans thinking that the instrument is only ...

However, Shades of Miles has to be his most radical departure while simultaneously being possibly his greatest work to date. The premise is actually very simple, yet inspired. Instead ...
Harold Danko Quartet: Stable Mates
by C. Andrew Hovan
It’s a shame that we see so little press for those few working bands currently in existence. It’s bad enough that money and schedules make it difficult to keep any kind of firm line-up in place for very long, making such business enterprises almost unviable these days. Little beyond their developing catalog of SteepleChase sides seems ...
