Personnel: Frank Morgan (alto saxophone), Kenny Barron, Tommy Flanagan, Roland Hanna, Barry Harris, Hank Jones (piano).
A '92 release by marvelous alto saxophonist Frank Morgan, whose life story and triumph over heroin addiction and imprisonment was one of the '80s' great success tales. Morgan's biting, yet sensitive and rich alto has rightly been traced to Charlie Parker, but Morgan long ago rid his style of any imitative excesses. He was excellently supported on this program of duets by an amazing lineup of rotating pianists: Kenny Barron, Tommy Flanagan, Barry Harris, Roland Hanna, and Hank Jones. ~ Ron WynnQ (3/93, p.88) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...more proof that he is a major force...His alto playing is instantly recognisable by a poignant tone which embodies a feeling of sweet melancholy...fabulous..."
Village Voice (11/3/92, p.89) - "...It succeeds on three levels: as testimony to Morgan's powers of melodic embellishment, as one to put on after Coltrane and Hartman, and as a piano summit..." - Rating: A-
Village Voice (2/2/93, p.78) - "...Morgan's alto has an ethereal beauty especially well suited to ruminative melodies..."

Frank Morgan, an early Charlie Parker protege, was known in his early years for his speed and technical wizardry. Now, in 1992, as an aged and well-seasoned player his genius has blossomed into his deep feeling and beautiful tone. Frank put together five of the greatest piano players in jazz: Kenny Barron, Tommy Flanagan, Roland Hanna, Barry Harris and Hank Jones, letting each player perform a solo, followed by a duet with Frank. The aura is smooth without any of the mawkish trappings of smooth jazz, and each piano player as if by osmosis, syncs into one beautiful groove, song after song. Something Borrowed, Something Blue with Frank and Tommy, as well as Enigma with Frank and Roland are stellar examples of an achingly beautiful and melancholy feeling, done lovingly. This is a wornderful CD for a candlelight evening or deep listening. Uttlerly rich and hauntingly lovley.

Bad Biscut is one of those bands who's original brand of rock & roll is truly timeless. One can envision these guys completely at home in the burgeoning years of punk rock, playing alongside the likes of The Ramones, Runaways, Generation-X or Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars. On the other hand, these tunes could just as easily top the charts of today. Fresh, exciting, irreverent, full of humor and ultimately cool - their songwriting is as crafty as their musicianship. Pegged as "arena-punk" by more than a few of their reviewers, they've had the opportunity to wow several arena crowds as the opening act for Joan Jett, The Ramones, and Bon Jovi - and also enjoyed a stint as a fave MTV band, winning their "Highway to Fame" contest and receiving considerable airplay. Their debut CD, "The American Dream?" is available for licensing and highly recommended A five star recording! What the critics say: BAD BISCUT "THE AMERICAN DREAM" - by Bill Glahn - Live! Magazine Bad Biscut tread the same musical ground as bands like Green Day and Ugly Kid Joe, an area I'll call arena-punk. It's all up-tempo stuff with a healthy dose of attitude, but an unmistakably produced sound and presentation. What separates Bad Biscut from the rest is that they really don't seem to take themselves so seriously and much of the fun is poked at themselves. But it's the guitar riffs that really push the band past mere indie wanna-be's. Guitarist Tommy Tafaro is the Angus Young of arena-punk. You know you've heard every lick before, but there's still something distinctive about his execution. The "eternal brat" mentality is all over the packaging. The cover, (designed by graphic artist and lead vocalist Thom Sacco), makes a statement - but not too dramatically. It is a painting of the Statue of Liberty nailed to a cross. It could be a frightening image, but it's done in a style closer to Mad Magazine than to Dante's Inferno. Serious subjects are approached in the lyrics, but mostly in a talk show fashion. Singer Thom Sacco delivers all this with a Bon Scott-style sneer and bratty impudence. You can't help but like this band! LET'S GO!
