Jon Armstrong Sextet: Reabsorb

By MARK CORROTO

Saxophonist Jon Armstrong reminds us that life and death are two sides of the same coin. Although seemingly disparate, like two sides of an LP, they cannot be separated. His sextet recording Reabsorb models this contrasting device by presenting two contrasting compositions, one on each side of an LP (also available as a CD and download). ...

Burton Greene / Damon Smith / Ra Kalam Bob Moses: Life’s Intense Mystery
