Bill Anschell, Brent Jensen and Chris Symer -][- BLUEPRINTS –Mp3– [Origin Records, 2012] –

As a follow-up to their lauded duo recording, “We Couldn’t Agree More,” soprano saxophonist Brent Jensen and pianist Bill Anschell decided to enhance their tonal palette, eliciting help from bassist Chris Symer as they explore a set of jazz standards with an uninhibited, free-wheeling interplay. Reminiscent of the great duo and trio recordings of Lee Konitz, Jimmy Giuffre and the like, their in-the-moment creations are singular and timeless. “We Couldn’t Agree More” consistently throws sparks at the listener and comes with about as high a recommendation as I can give an album.? – Chris Robinson, Earshot Jazz.

Jordan Young -][- CYMBAL MELODIES – [Posi-Tone Records, 2012] –

Bells are ringing when drummer Jordan Young hits the set with his debut release for Posi-Tone, aptly entitled Cymbal Melodies. Indeed, Young succeeds in pushing his melodic message to the forefront with skillful leadership, while he ably demonstrates a total command of his own instrument. The session sings and soars from start to finish, featuring the B-3 wizardry and rhythmic genius of Brian Charette, the sensationally sizzling lines of guitarist Avi Rothbard, and Joe Sucato on sax for four tunes.

Critical listeners will certainly enjoy this flowing and thoughtful program of swinging selections and should agree that Cymbal Melodies announces that Jordan Young is an important and emerging new voice in jazz. -[Editorial Review | Amazon]-
