New York City-based multi-reedman Daniel Carter brought his alto sax to Seattle to record with bassist Reuben Radding shortly after 9/11 occurred. And due to airline baggage restrictions, Carter decided to leave his arsenal of horns behind. Alternatively, the artists permeate a sequence of gracefully enacted performances, brimming with subtle inflections and mood-altering thematic forays. They up the ante on occasion, yet this recording features the duo's rather seamless improvisational transitions into various micro motifs along with parallel flows and shifty variations. On "Refracted Light and Grace," Radding commandeers the pace with nimbly executed walking basslines and poignant arco passages to complement Carter's alluring explorations. The duo's overriding sense of unity and adjoining musical spirits presents notions of wisdom and oneness. And while there's nothing staggeringly new here -- especially when the listener might consider the voluminous catalog of modern jazz-based duets -- this is a most appeasing affair nonetheless. ~ Glenn Astarita

The Wire (3/03, p.57) - "...Carter and Radding masterfully sustain this precarious emotional balance...LUMINESCENCE is a poignant statement..."
JazzTimes (05/03, p.148) - "...Carter's melancholy lyricism finds perfect home in the lush and remarkably sympathetic bass playing of Radding..." Daniel Carter Luminescence Songs Luminescence Review

Luminescence CD music
$14.19
One word that comes to mind when listening to Critical Mass is generosity. Double-bassist Dave Holland, four decades into his career, could certainly be forgiven for taking the word "leader" at its literal meaning, calling all the shots and keeping his musicians at bay. But that's not what he's about, and at any given time Critical Mass could just as easily have been credited to saxist Chris Potter, trombonist Robin Eubanks, vibist/marimbaist Steve Nelson, or ...

Recorded live at Carnegie Hall, New York on March 4, 1961. Originally released on Verve (V6-8423).
GILLESPIANA, originally released on two LPs by Verve in 1960, features legendary be-bop trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie in two New York performances, one live from Carnegie Hall. A full jazz orchestra backs him on each, and the fat, Latin-tinged sound is the result of a combustible collaboration with a young ...

Let's just say that at the end of this unlikely meeting between pianist Satoko Fujii and drummer Tatsuya Yoshida (of the group Ruins) at the 2002 Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville, fans of the latter were very happy, fans of the former very puzzled. A few months earlier Fujii had introduced her new quartet, which featured ...

| | Pamela Williams Sweet Saxations CD (2005)
Luminescence music CDs
$14.29 
In the 21st century, commercial adult contemporary/smooth jazz radio stations continue to emphasize that which is familiar -- actually, they emphasize the overly familiar, making certain that they steer clear of anything that is the least bit experimental. That's why Pamela Williams and countless others are so predictable and formulaic; they know that taking risks is a good way to alienate adult contemporary programmers. Nonetheless, some of Williams' albums are better than others -- and while Sweet Saxations isn't very memorable, it isn't terrible either. The Kenny G.-isms that were part of the picture on some of the saxophonist's Heads Up recordings of the '90s aren't much of a factor on this early 2005 release; outright elevator music is excluded, and Williams' duskier, more R&B-ish side prevails. One could say that Sweet Saxations ...
