Buster Williams: Pinnacle
by C. Andrew Hovan

Founded in 1972 by Joe Fields, with significant contributions from Don ...
Carlos Garnett: Cosmos Nucleus
by Vincenzo Roggero
Nato a Panama nel 1938, Carlos Garnett è stato sassofonista, compositore e bandleader, noto ai più per la partecipazione al classico On the Corner di Miles Davis, benchè le sue frequentazioni fossero sempre improntate all'eccellenza (Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, Andrew Hill, Charles Mingus per citarne alcuni).

Roy Brooks: The Free Slave
by Angelo Leonardi

Miho Hazama, Simon Jermyn, Dan Rosenboom, Deadeye & More

Large ensembles--approached not as monuments but as flexible, expressive forces shaped by strong compositional voices--are the guiding thread of this segment. From a landmark Sonny Criss reissue with arrangements by Horace Tapscott to Miho Hazama's stunning reimagining of Thad Jones' legacy, Dan Rosenboom's genre-blurring large-ensemble work, and a freshly restored, richly orchestrated album by Carlos Garnett. ...

A Muse Renaissance: Reissues from Roy Brooks, Kenny Barron, and Carlos Garnett
by C. Andrew Hovan
The independent jazz label has long served as a bellwether for the music's highest artistry, ever since the advent of the long-playing record. Labels such as Verve Records, Blue Note Records, Prestige Records, Contemporary Records, and Riverside--each a modest operation led by passionate entrepreneurs--were devoted to documenting the sound of their era with fidelity and purpose. ...
Carlos Garnett: Cosmos Nucleus
by Pierre Giroux
When Cosmos Nucleus first appeared in 1976 on Muse Records, it was the kind of album that seemed to evoke various idioms. It was a bold statement that drew strength from jazz's spiritual core while speaking in the electrified dialect of funk and fusion. Tenor saxophonist Carlos Garnett, a Panamanian-born firebrand who had sharpened his skills ...
