Art Hirahara - Echo Canyon
Art Hirahara is a player who keeps winning us over with each new release – a wonderfully sensitive musician and thoughtful composer, but also one who's got a great way with a soaring, swinging sound. - Dusty Groove
Michael Dease - Swing Low
Really rich sounds from Michael Dease – now a baritone player, and one who handles the large horn with effortless ease – taking us back to some of our favorite bari players of the 50s. - Dusty Groove
Shorter Moments - Citizen Wayne
With this third and final installment
of “Shorter Moments,” we would like to
celebrate the wide ranging and ineffable genius
of Wayne Shorter's peerless compositions.
Willie Morris - Conversation Starter
There's a soaring, soulful quality to the whole thing that's wonderful – a shining moment from a leader we'll be watching in years to come. - Dusty Groove
Patrick Cornelius - Book Of Secrets
Cornelius is a purist bebopper at heart (maybe Sonny Stitt a smidge) and his tone gets sweeter and is not at all harsh here, so drink in the timbral developments in his sound - marlbank
