Marcus Printup – Peace In The Abstract (SCCD 31597)

JazzTimes’ Chris Kelsey commented on Bill Barron Quintet – Live at Cobi’s (SCCD 31570), “ Straightahead tenor players who regularly stretch themselves and break a sweat in the process are too few and far between these days. That's what makes a record by someone like the late Bill Barron so attractive. Barron had no such problems cutting loose. He possessed an original voice-not revolutionary, but unique in its way. Live at Cobi's (Steeplechase) comes from a pair of late '80s concerts Barron gave not long before his death in 1989 at the age of 62. ….. Where are the new Bill Barrons-the mainstreamers who sound like no one but themselves?

In this sequel CD tenor saxophonist Bill Barron (1927-1989) features his younger brother, pianist Kenny Barron.

Rich Perry – Rhapsody (SCCD 31595)

Perry and Danko have been closely working together for almost 30 years.

As evident in their first duo album “Canceos do Brasil” (SCCD 31463), they are

in total empathy and harmony again here on this new duo programme.

Rich Perry is that rarest of tenor saxophonists—a complete musician with an understanding of space and timing, a palpable sense of color and humor and absolutely no need to showboat or compromise. ….. he makes jazz that’s adventurous and highly listenable ….. playing standards not frequently performed and in new ways of playing in the tradition ….” (Donald Elfman – Allaboutjazz)

Danko's a mature player who knows the power of economy, melodic sense and a refined touch; wasting not a note, his improvisations always tell a compelling story .” (Steve Futterman – JazzTimes)
