Alexander McCabe / Paul Odeh: This Is Not A Pipe

Read "This Is Not A Pipe" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


The title is, presumably, a nod to “Ceci, C'est Ne Pas Une Pipe," the phrase which Rene Magritte wrote on his famous painting La Trahison Des Images. The painting wasn't, of course, a pipe, just a painting of a pipe. This Is Not A Pipe isn't a pipe either--it isn't even a painting of a pipe. ...

Alexander McCabe / Paul Odeh: This Is Not A Pipe

Read "This Is Not A Pipe" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

The frequent collaborators delve into a loose-jointed, roll and tumble examination of some jazz standards and McCabe originals.

Alexander McCabe: The Round

Read "The Round" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone

McCabe may be a free blower in clubs, but you'd never know it here. Originally from Boston, Alexander McCabe worked with two of ...

Alexander McCabe: The Round

Read "The Round" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


In a career that has spanned two decades, Alexander McCabe has played with Chico O'Farrill, Harold Mabern, and Ray Charles, which should say something about his playing on the alto saxophone. He counts John Coltrane and Charlie Parker among his influences, and their mark is evident in his playing. However, it is quite a different thing ...
