The provenance behind this full-bore blow out recorded in 1967 by jny: Philadelphia tenor sax legend D.B.Shrier differs from most myths in the fact that we now have pure, full-blown proof of what a night in his company sounded like: A scorching combustion of energy, virtuosity and audience adulation. Originally released by Alfa Records in 1967, the first five tracks of D.B. Shrier emerges may sound a primitive as hell having been recorded at a community college, but ...

Though this disc would never win any awards for longevity--it clocks in at under 35 minutes--the fact that the music has such substance more than makes up for it. On the other hand, if there was more of it, the disc could possibly appear on some of those year-end lists.
As a bassist himself, Brown has no little appreciation of the qualities inherent in other instruments in the string family, and his writing for the string quartet heard here, with ...

These days, the boundaries of what is and what isn't jazz are being blurred by a number of factors, including but not limited to: changes of instrumentation, the break from traditional 2 and 4 on the cymbal, absence of a walking bass-line, and the introduction of new, impeccably dressed, well manicured artists who wear frilly shirts and have fancy hairdo's. These artists are colorful entertainers, capable of exhibiting a multitude of facial expressions and grimaces as they play music that ...

All About Jazz
This sort of chamber jazz stuff is right up my alley. Any players trying to bridge the gap between European classical music and American jazz will get a good listen from me, even if it doesn't always work that perfectly. This group has lots going for it: Brown is one of the grooviest bassists playing today; he's been with Nat Adderly, Clark Terry, Freddie Hubbard and Max Roach, among others. John Blake is one of the greatest living jazz violinists, with 35 CDs to his name. The other string players come from various symphonies and string quartets of note, and percussionist William Duke Wilson adds his rhythm touches to the strings on a couple of the tracks. Bassist Brown adds three of his own tunes to the CD, and the two standards 'All the Things You Are' and 'Softly as in a Morning Sunrise' provide welcome familiarity in the program. (The first is a striking unaccompanied violin solo by Blake.) - John Henry, Audiophile Audition, March 2000
