Joe McPhee: Alto
by Lyn Horton
It takes a certain amount of confidence for a musician to stand alone on a stage or in a recording studio and play an instrument. One of the few masters of jazz reed instruments, Joe McPhee still proceeds to make music as if for the first time. He is a master of the instruments he plays ...

Bill Dixon: Tapestries for Small Orchestra
by Nic Jones
Bill Dixon Tapestries For Small Orchestra Firehouse 12 2007 When this double-CD/single-DVD set hits the market in November 2009, trumpeter Bill Dixon will be 84 years old.

David S. Ware: Shakti
by Russ Musto
David S. Ware's Shakti, his first release since the dissolution of his longstanding quartet, is an outstanding addition to the saxophonist's already extraordinary discography.

Warren Smith: Old News Borrowed Blues
by Lyn Horton
Famous for his participation in Max Roach's percussionist band, M'Boom, drummer/vibraphonist Warren Smith has demonstrated with finesse how an approach stimulated by rhythm can become the impetus for larger ensemble music. A program of original compositions from his past, now arranged for brass, bass, guitar and percussion, is recorded for the first time in Old News ...
Warren Smith: Old News Borrowed Blues
by Jerry D'Souza
Warren Smith (drums, vibraphone, percussion) does not have a deep discography as a leader, and so any recording by him is most welcome. All the music on this CD has been performed live but never released, and the wait makes hearing it all the sweeter. Though his work as leader has been thin, Smith ...
