Times Change 3 reviews Wayne Escoffery
Nagel-Heyer Germany, 2002
Young Lion in a league of his own
+ A great tenor player with a classic jazz style + This is a rave!
I had the privelege of hearing Wayne in an impromptu appearance at Wally's Cafe in Boston with the John Lamkin/Darren Barrett band. When he started playing, the crowd stopped talking and paid attention. That happens once in a blue moon at Wally's. I'm fairly confident that no one is playing tenor ...

Intuition 1 review Wayne Escoffery
Nagel-Heyer Germany, 2004
not as good as the first
I loved "Times Change," but this one disappointed me. It is uneven, hard to listen to, and none of the tracks really stand out. Ironically, the musicians on "Intuition" are better known and arguably superior to those featured on the first album. It just goes to show that individual talent does ...

Special Hand'ling: The Music of George Frideric Handel 2 reviews George Frideric Handel, John Paul, ...
Romeo Records, 2002
wonderful
+ Special Hand'ling
Larry Gwozdz is a very competent and skilled saxophone virtuoso. These recordings of the Handel sonatas are beautiful and very authentic to the baroque style. His tone is dark, warm and round and is perfect for this type of music. This is an esssential cd for any classical saxophonist and for fans ...

Ballads: John Coltrane (Deluxe Ed) (Bonus CD) 6 reviews John Coltrane
Umvd Labels, 2002
Jazz Giant "Meeting His Audience Halfway"
+ John Coltrane at his surprising softest and most beautiful + Masterpiece Revisited
This is the John Coltrane album that I always knew was out there, but could never quite find. Beautiful, understated playing, that still maintains the rigors of his avant-garde style, without overwhelming the listener with a barrage of notes. Coltrane is in top form on these tunes, bringing his ...

Wynton Marsalis - Blues & Swing 3 reviews Wynton Marsalis
Geneon [Pioneer], 2002
Great Wynton!
+ Awesome Jazz DVD !!!!
Whoever says that Wynton can't swing obviously hasn't listened to him lately. As for Harry James, he didn't play bop! Bop isn't a heavy swing. Wynton shows his versatility and technical prowess on this one! I only wish that he would go back to playing with the fire that he plays with on this ...
