Barbara Montgomery: Trinity
by George Harris
Along with the maternal instincts of Nnenna Freelon and Carmen Lundy, add Barbara Montgomery, who delayed a singing career to raise a family. Chalk one up for motherhood, as this CD of originals and '70s compositions reflects a woman with something to offer. Equipped with a husky voice (think Benny Carter's alto with lyrics), ...
Barbara Montgomery: Trinity
by Stephen Latessa
Trinity is an ambitious affair. It definitely takes some gumption to fashion an album from five originals and works by Leonard Cohen, Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison, and Cahn/Styne and hope that it will all hold together. Oh, and did I mention there is a song in French, too? Surprisingly, Philadelphia-based vocalist Barbara Montgomery and ...
Barbara Montgomery: Trinity
by Michael P. Gladstone
Trinity is a very dramatic and theatrical effort that thematically strives to present all aspects of the human spirit, both positive and negative. Singer Barbara Montgomery has a dramatic and theatrical presentation, and her smoky voice is a fine way to deliver her messages on many of these mournful songs. One can easily describe her as ...

Mat Maneri: Trinity
by AAJ Staff
Understatement and subtlety are rare commodities in music. Of course, they also demand more from the listener. Mat Maneri's new solo disc, Trinity, features spare, careful playing--and the results are ecstatically beautiful. One has the feeling from listening to this record that Maneri has tapped into a higher power and chosen to channel the energies earthward. ...
Mat Maneri: Trinity
by Glenn Astarita
Modernist and improvising raconteur, violinist Mat Maneri opts for the solo route on this newly released effort, titled Trinity. No doubt, you’d better be good in order to sustain continual interest during a sixty-minute solo performance. Hence, such is the case here as the violinist takes on compositions by frequent collaborator, guitarist Joe Morris, Eric Dolphy ...
Mat Maneri: Trinity
by Mark Corroto
Listening to Mat Maneri’s solo outing Trinity, one often finds one's imagination working overtime. The 32 year old violinist, son of jazz legend Joe Maneri, explores his unique vision of free chamber jazz without the aid of collaborators--leaving wide-open spaces for the listener to fill in. Maneri, a child prodigy, began a classical career only to ...
Joe McPhee: Trinity
by AAJ Staff
Even for Joe McPhee, Trinity is a far-ranging record. He writes in the liner notes (genuinely, I'm sure) that in this spare trio setting, the area I wanted to work became more defined." In fact, that area is about as broad as you can possibly imagine. McPhee delivers animalistic howls, plaintive melodies, and bluesy ramble, each ...
Joe McPhee: Trinity
by Derek Taylor
Until recently Joe McPhee’s early recorded years were something of a sealed book. The rarity of his vernal trilogy of vinyl releases for the CJR label forced most listeners to access these legendary LPs through poorly rendered bootleg copies or simply via the testimony of the lucky few fortunate enough to own original pressings of the ...
