David Weiss: The Mirror

Read "The Mirror" reviewed by Michael Holman


Stills from the film Stalker, by Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky, decorate the cover of the second album from trumpeter David Weiss; and the film also lends its title to the first and most compelling track on the disc.

Trumpeter David Weiss is rejuvenating mainstream jazz with the tough work ethic and clarity of purpose that his hard bop predecessors brought to the Blue Note label throughout the sixties.
