Fred Hess Quartet: Crossed Paths
by John Kelman
It's wonderful for an artist to find a group so emotionally linked to his or her conception that the music takes on a greater significance than what's on the written page. Denver-based tenor saxophonist Fred Hess found such a group for his previous release, The Long and Short of It , a record that took his ...
Fred Hess Quartet: Crossed Paths
by Dan McClenaghan
Listening to “On Perry St.," the opening cut on Denver-based saxophonist Fred Hess' Crossed Paths --a song that thumps in on a rock-ish beat (by Matt Wilson) and a big loping bass line (by Ken Filiano), followed by some loose two horn harmony--I'm struck, on Hess's first solo of the disc, by what pretty noise the ...

Fred Hess: The Long And The Short Of It
by Mark Corroto
Saxophonist Fred Hess writes dreamy music. Not music that is otherworldly or romantic or visionary per se, but dream inducing, at its plain meaning.

Fred Hess Quartet: The Long And Short Of It
by Farrell Lowe
The single most striking difference between Fred Hess' latest recording and all of his earlier efforts is the relaxed and joyful feel of the music contained herein. Tyranny to form, an element of Hess' recordings that has caught too much of my attention in the past, is gone, amended by said relaxation and joy. This unassuming ...
Fred Hess Quartet: The Long and Short of It
by Dan McClenaghan
Appearances, as they say, can be deceiving. On the cover of The Long and Short of It, the grey-haired and bespectacled Fred Hess wears a standard blue dress shirt beneath a conservative sweater vest. It's a look that might make you guess the sounds he's offering up here are a set of time-tested standards, played in ...

Fred Hess/Marc Sabatella: Right At Home
by Mark Corroto
All About Jazz's Dan McClenaghan introduced us to saxophonist Fred Hess last month with his review of his latest quartet date, Extended Family . The Colorado-based saxophonist simultaneously released a duo outing with pianist Marc Sabatella, Right At Home. Where the quartet displays determined bravado, this duo turns inward, taking a more personal approach. ...
