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. Part of the post-Coltrane movement that produced such players as Michael Brecker and Bob Berg, this prolific sideman has been leading a series ...
Ari Ambrose: Cyclic Episode
by C. Andrew Hovan
That astute follower of new talent, Nils Winther, introduced us to up and coming tenor saxophonist Ari Ambrose in 1998 with a trio date sans piano that was as remarkable in its daring as it was in its pronouncement of a great new talent on the scene. Now comes along Cyclic Episode and we hear Ambrose ...
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 ...
Sam Newsome: The Tender Side of Sammy Straighthorn
by C. Andrew Hovan
Picking up the soprano saxophone these days as your sole instrument can be a dangerous proposition. For one thing, the straight clarinet-like horn is notorious for going out of tune if your embouchure is not up to par. Secondly, a whole generation of Kenny G clones has left some fans thinking that the instrument is only ...
DaveStryker: Shades of Miles
by C. Andrew Hovan
Over the course of some dozen SteepleChase sides guitarist Dave Stryker has presented himself in various forums that have illustrated his diversity and flexibility as a musician. 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 ...
George Colligan: Stomping Ground
by C. Andrew Hovan
One of the best-kept secrets in jazz, pianist George Colligan has developed an intrepid attitude that goes hand-in-hand with a strong sense of identity. That was just as apparent on his first date as a leader for SteepleChase, Activism, as it is on this latest excursion into trio territory. Tunes such as Charles Tolliver’s “Right Now” ...
Andy LaVerne & Dave Samuels: Between Earth & Mars
by C. Andrew Hovan
Like label mate Harold Danko, pianist Andy LaVerne possesses talent that should be commensurate with a much broader public awareness. One of sax legend Stan Getz’s favorite accompanists, LaVerne has built a sizable catalog for SteepleChase over the past two decades- some 18 strong- with Between Earth & Mars serving as a reunion with vibraphonist Dave ...
Paul Bley: Notes On Ornette
by C. Andrew Hovan
These are the tunes that have become the stuff of legend. And don’t just take it from this reviewer, ask Pat Metheny and countless others who have found something to say in the early compositions of Ornette Coleman. Either because he was on the West Coast working with Coleman and Don Cherry at the time or ...
