The Odean Pope Saxophone Choir, led by tenor saxophonist and composer/arranger Odean Pope, consists of nine saxophonists plus a rhythm section and occasional guest saxophonists, heard over the course of several nights at the Blue Note. The powerful, straight-ahead "Epitome" introduces the reeds alone at first, with the leader's moving solo being unaccompanied and the rhythm section finally added near its conclusion. Michael Brecker is the guest soloist in the furious post-bop vehicle "Prince Lasha," while Joe Lovano is showcased in the soulful ballad "Cis" and the turbulent, somewhat mysterious "Terrestrial," which alternates between post-bop and free jazz. Pope's scoring of two John Coltrane compositions is breathtaking. "Central Park West" suggest a leisurely stroll in Manhattan on a breezy autumn day (featuring soloists Julian Pressley and Louis Taylor on alto saxophones, though the intense "Coltrane Time" spotlights both Brecker and Pope). The infectious closer is the infectious "Muntu Chant," with a wailing tenor solo by James Carter. This band must have been a treat to see in person, but this well-mixed recording essentially gives the listener a front-row table. Highly recommended. ~ Ken Dryden

Locked & Loaded: Live At The Blue Note album
$14.69 Since making a middle-of-life comeback in the 1990s, saxophonist, composer, and bandleader Charles Lloyd has continually issued fascinating recordings. While some of them contain missteps, it's not for lack of ambition. For one of jazz's elder statesmen, Lloyd pushes his envelope of ideas about improvisation, rhythm and harmony, often to the breaking point. He is a player ...

Locked & Loaded: Live At The Blue Note album
$15.79 On his first offering in three years, Kenny Garrett delivers the album that has been promised since his very auspicious debut Introducing Kenny Garrett back in 1984. On Beyond the Wall, the saxophonist and composer has continued his deep exploration of modal jazz. The album is dedicated to McCoy Tyner, the king and progenitor of modal pianists, and it sounds as if Garrett observed that tutelage well, though the music is unmistakably his own. The core band on the set features drummer Brian Blade, bassist Robert Hurst, and Mulgrew Miller on piano. Pharoah ...
