...been mistaken for your typical garage-collection suburbanite jazz aficionado—that is, until he put mouth to valve and sang out the mournful melody of Wayne Shorter’s “Footsteps.” From then on, the lyrical and deep sound of his horn reinvented the familiar tune, revealing and reveling in an inner sadness too often missed by breezy tenor saxophonists. From there it was on to the equally thoughtful “Another Star” by Stevie Wonder, whose ascending melody neatly complimented the falling cadences of “Footsteps...
...Partita is, as the title suggests, a tapestry of diverse musical ideas coherently woven together. There are contrasting sections ranging from highly rhythmic and jagged themes to lyrical passages, and all are seamlessly intertwined. There are hints of solo passages—a flute here followed by an English horn there.

Their style has obviously evolved a great deal, but the constant has been their instrumental experimentation, which is furthered on Bionix instruments as diverse as the French Horn, flugelhorn and flute. What is more interesting, though, is the group’s diversification of musical genres, most notably the appearance of Cuban traditional singer Jose “Periquo” Hernandez on “Watch Out”, and the Gospel influenced-“Held...
...Some have mentioned B.C. Coach Tom O’Brien as a possibility. But if O’Brien did leave Chestnut Hill, all that would create is a brand new opening up across the river. I don’t mean to toot Murphy’s horn too hard for the BC job, but get a load of this...
