"The first Jazz disc i ever bought, and it contains my favourite Jazz track of all time, God Bless The Child, fifteen and a half minutes of pure wizzardry, this disc introduced me to Jazz."
"A disc i bought at random, many times this is the way i discover new Jazz Artists, Alexander is a straightforward Tenor, here he's helped enormously by the Pianist Harold Mabern, in truly top form."
"An Incredible Quintet/Quartet, everyone is on fire, Jack DeJohnette on drums pounces on everything, Arturo Sandoval on Trumpet only plays on two tracks, i wish he would of stuck around for the rest."
"An Alto Saxophonist, but he plays Soprano too, and here he sounds even better, The first time i bought this Disc, i couldn't stop playing The Black Cat, it's so infectous, listen to Eric Reed's outro!"
"Tremendous stuff, this disc really jives, the opening of many of the tracks are so inventive and well thought out, and the drumer Adonis Rose is caught in a superb recording, listen to Zigaboogaloo."
"Marsalis brings in a mix of many different Jazz partners, but it all works superbly, the Dixieland title track is fantastic, and Shadows is so atmospheric, his Soprano work is the best."
"A collection of slower tempo numbers, but Turner makes them all work, All Or Nothing At All is my favourite, the Guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel adds to the disc tremendously."
"Incredible, the best disc Garrett has ever made, the booklet cover is stunning, just a trio [Saxophone, Bass, and Drums], forces Garrett to work harder to make it all make sense, and the listener too!"
"Funky and inventive, Redman puts the fun back into Jazz, all the little intros/preludes etc, actually work instead of getting in the way, the album is so varied in tunes and approaches to boot."
"An accomplished set, the Saxophone duet with Joshua Redman on Kathelin Gray is a treat, personally the closer 26-2 is my highlight, great cover pic too."
"OK so he's not so young, here he reminisces about his Coltrane Quartet days, In Walked Bud hits the spot, such an accomplished Pianist, a trio setting suits him."
"Just listen to Affif's opening licks on Bohemia After Dark, he's on fire, and Drummer Jeff Watts response is superb, a truly great Jazz track, but he can play lyrical too, check out I'll Be Seeing You"
"Another Coltrane tribute, Garrett teams up with Pat Metheny, they do a wonderful version of Coltrane's masterpiece Dear Lord, a simple yet profound tune, how did he compose that!"
"This may be a subdued set of standards, but listen carefully, he might not have the fire anymore, but in it's place is wisdom and nostalgia, the booklet pic is absolutely fantastic."
"A great album for anyone who is new to Jazz, start here, very funky, the liner notes by Redman are very educational, he's so inventive, a bag full of excellent tricks."
"a great record, a supple/subtle Guitarist, lots of great things here, and a fantastic array of sidemen, Sunset At Waterside must be given special mention, a thoughtful tune."
"A set that grows and grows on you, both Trumpeter Robert Mazurek and Saxophonist Eric Alexander trade so much off each other, takes a number of listens to truly fall in love with."
"A tribute to Miles Davis, Henderson is the King of understatement, he says profound things you don't notice at first, a very thoughtful player, great maturity."
"Guitarist John Scofield and Tenor Sax Joe Lovano work a treat, but it's a Scofield disc, he brings a laid back feel to the disc, some great vibes here."
"A strange Marsalis album, not one of his commercial one's, but there's an undercurrent going on here, the Drummer Jeff Watts plays his heart out, needs repeated listenings."
