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."
