His top-notch band includes pianist Robert Glasper, guitarist Lage Lund, bassist Joe Martin, and drummer Johnathan Blake. "Flipside" is a strong opener, a turbulent post-bop vehicle that inspires everyone in the group. "Almost" ...

Jonathan Blake CD discography Wayne Escoffery has been one of the most impressive tenor saxophonists of his generation, not only developing a personal sound but also demonstrating prowess as a compelling composer/arranger. With his Veneration quartet, which includes vibraphonist Joe Locke, bassist Hans Glawisching, and drummer Lewis Nash (with Jonathan Blake subbing on drums for three tracks), Escoffery opens with his infectious "Hopes and ...

Jonathan Blake albums Although On Broken Wings is a capable metalcore troupe with all the fixings -- from gurgling vocals to dismemberment plans -- to dominate the subgenre, they manage to get bogged down in anonymity just the same. Fronted by the grunting, growling vocal chord-shredding Jonathan Blake, the Boston group's brutal thumping and doomsday posturing on tracks like "Pushing up Daisies" and "Frozen Over" is enough to scare the crap out of parents, teachers, cops, and unsuspecting rock fans alike. However, it doesn't mean there's a lot of newfound creativity; in fact a few of these songs ("Listless," "I Do My Crosswords") are redone from earlier OBW offerings.
