Tom Harrell: Sail Away

Read "Sail Away" reviewed by Russell Moon


Recorded over two days in March of 1989, Sail Away is surely one of the youngest albums ever to be re-released as an OJC, and presumably the first from the CD era. Two songs from the sessions not on the original CD are included here, bringing the total time to a very generous 79 minutes. Although ...

A Fireside Chat with Tom Harrell

Read "A Fireside Chat with Tom Harrell" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Tom Harrell is a blessing. Warmth and kindness oozes from his horn playing and from his compositions. His latest for RCA Victor, Time's Mirror, is a big band recording, quite a departure for the trumpeter. I caught up with Harrell in the midst of a nationwide tour to promote his new album. It is an intimate ...

Tom Harrell: Wise Children

Read "Wise Children" reviewed by Jim Santella


Adding four exceptional vocalists to his program, trumpeter Tom Harrell takes the listener on a journey through time and space. Contemporary world music, 30-year-old funk, swinging stage band arrangements, and the burning presence of his horn, color Harrell’s program with authority. The ten pieces are his compositions. The quintet, which includes Jimmy Greene, Xavier Davis, Ugonna ...

Tom Harrell: Wise Children

Read "Wise Children" reviewed by Eric J. Iannelli


The nicest thing you could say about trumpeter Tom Harrell's Wise Children, unfortunately, is that you've heard it all before. "Straight to My Heart" with guest diva Dianne Reeves sounds like every smooth jazz ballad put to tape during the 1970s and '80s; and its irritating blandness is merely exacerbated by some abysmally cliché lyrics penned ...

Tom Harrell: Live at the Village Vanguard

Read "Live at the Village Vanguard" reviewed by Jack Bowers


If Tom Harrell had written nothing more than “Sail Away” he’d still rank high on this writer’s personal list of notable Jazz composers. He didn’t stop there, of course, and seven of the eight songs that comprise this tasteful concert performance at New York’s Village Vanguard are his (the other is Matt Dennis / Tom Adair’s ...

Tom Harrell: Sail Away

Read "Sail Away" reviewed by William Grim


Sail Away is one of trumpeter/composer Tom Harrell’s best efforts and features a wide range of his original material. The album starts off with “Eons,” a fast tempo bop tune that features tenor sax and trumpet solos. Harrell is at his most Chet Baker-like in “Glass Mystery,” a slow ballad with inspired solos from Baker and ...
