Homage Review from jazz.pt

"Os quatro músicos surgem dotados de um espírito especialmente aventureiro neste que é o seu segundo trabalho conjunto para a editora de Manfred Eicher. Com base nos pontos fortes líricos da gravação anterior do grupo (“Arctic Riff”, de 2020), em “Homage” o quarteto vai além disso, investigando a interação livre e passagens expansivas de improvisação que se tornaram um elemento básico nas experiências de Lovano com o trio Tapestry."

A conversation with Joe Lovano

Awhile back I did an interview with the folks at SYOS who designed a mouthpiece for my tárogató (a Hungarian wind instrument) as well as for my C soprano and wanted to share it with you.

FT Review - Paramount Quartet

Joe Lovano’s Paramount Quartet play with freedom, focus and fire -FT.com

"Witnessing Joe Lovano absorbed in the immediacy of improvisation is a continuing jazz pleasure...Lovano’s latest project, the Paramount Quartet, adds hints of Americana to a modernist core and explores the terrain with freedom, focus and fire."
