New York Jazz Collective "I Don't Know this World Without Don Cherry" Album Review

In the tradition but as modern as today
This stunningly beautiful record is a tribute to the foresight of producer, pianist and nominal leader Mr Mike Nock. It's music that is as modern as today but which has its roots in in the collective improvisations of New Orleans jazz except that there is much more room for solos. Mr Nock's solo on the title track is as good as I've heard him. This is a group of master musicians playing at the peak of their considerable powers, playing in an atmosphere of artistic freedom, mutual respect and collective love of their art. Mr Ehrlich contributes the title track; trumpeter Mr Carroll contributes two tracks; Mr Formanek one track and the nominal leader Mr Nock, four tracks. Highlights include: Mr Carroll's solo on NOCK DOWN UNDER, majestic, beautifully controlled and butter smooth; the flute solo on DON'T LEAVE ME by Mr Ehrlich is an heartfelt and exquisite moment; the poignant harmony on the coda to DON'T LEAVE ME; Mr John's drums on NEW MORNING OF THE DREAM, Mr Nock's solo on INDIFFERENCE; Mr Lacy's solo on EL NINO; Mr Formaek's masterful bass behind mr Carroll's solo on INDIFFFERENCE; the moody LEGACY by Mr Nock; Mr Ehrlich's alto solo on EL NINO; Mr Lacy's great trombone solo on CRUCIBLE; Mr Ehrlich's clarinet solo on CRUCIBLE. And all this for less than seven bucks!

Joshua Redman "Elastic" Album Review

My all time favourite
I owned this CD since it first came out in 2002. Four years later, I still play it when I go for a long drive or oversea trip. The music is so funky and soulful.

This CD was my introduction to Joshua Redman and the incredible drumming of Brian Blade. I have become a fan of both of them eversince.
