ALWAYS PACK YOUR UNIFORM ON TOP was recorded during a weeklong engagement at landmark London jazz club Ronnie Scott's. Bassist/composer Steve Swallow finds tight and sympathetic company in trumpet player Barry Ries, tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, guitarist Mick Goodrick, and drummer Adam Nussbaum. Goodrick's guitar dances nicely between the rhythm section and the dual horns.
Since Swallow's writing employs subtle and quiet gradations, the recording strives for warmth and clarity. The long, resonant tones of Swallow's bass guitar (the instrument to which he switched exclusively after first making a name for himself as a string bassist in the late '50s and early '60s) are presented with particular vitality. ALWAYS is the first recording for this ensemble, and the live setting captures the quintet's interplay perfectly.
Recorded live at Ronnie Scott's Club, London, England in April 1999.
Personnel: Mick Goodrick (guitar); Barry Ries (trumpet); Adam Nussbaum (drums).

Tenor saxophonist Ron Blake makes large statements utilizing small groups on his latest Mack Avenue release, offering 13 diverse and creative duo and trio recordings. Although Virgin Island native Blake's name is the one on the cover here, co-credit truly should have gone to pianist and producer Michael Cain, who appears on every track, wrote or co-wrote some of the music, and guides it all as much as Blake does. The two work beautifully together, and although Shayari probably would have played just as splendidly if Blake and Cain were the only two musicians on it, its A-list of guests -- bassist (and former employer) Christian McBride, drummer Jack DeJohnette, violinist Regina Carter, and percussionist Gilmar Gomes -- brings vital flavorings to the tracks on which the guests appear. While it's still often tempting to play "spot the influences" in Blake's playing, he's clearly emerged as his own man here: his solos bear a light but forceful touch; his phrasing is smart and absorbing, ...
