“... punchy post-bop...” – The New York Times
Joe Lovano is among the most prolific of today's saxophonists. His musical curiosity has no bounds. Regardless of artist style or genre, from the funk grooves of Dr. Lonnie Smith to the avant-garde explorations of Paul Motian and Bill Frisell, Lovano's intuitive musicianship allows him to fit with any situation and he always delivers “the goods.” His current group, Us Five, is unusual in that it utilizes two drummers. The duo drumming team of Otis Brown III and Francisco Mela create a polyrhythmic stew, allowing bassist Esperanza Spalding, pianist James Weidman and Lovano, to solo freely over a percussive framework. Bird Songs (Blue Note, 2011) is Lovano’s latest CD.
