REVIEWS OF DAVID LAHM

More Jazz Takes on Joni Mitchell / Jazz Takes on Joni Mitchell

What critics say about More Jazz Takes on Joni Mitchell:

  • "Some main ideas from these sessions bring out the best in Lahm's arrangements, particularly Rosenberg's work on both soprano and baritone saxophones on "In France, They Kiss on Main Street." Lahm's original compositions continue to be representative of mainstream jazz, with strong melodies and chord changes that he has creatively featured within his unique flow of ideas. This CD is sure to affect those with a penchant for Joni Mitchell's music who seek to listen to it in a new way."
    --Paula Edelstein, All Music Guide, May 2001

  • “This CD has a powerhouse of great jazz talent in one setting: David Lahm, leader and piano; Randy Brecker, trumpet; the always inventive Vincent Herring , alto saxophone; Roger Rosenberg, saxophone; Ratzo Harris, bass; and, Ron Vincent, drums. Every solo is an in-depth jazz journey!”
    --Lee Prosser, Jazz Review.com, April 2001

 What critics say about Jazz Takes on Joni Mitchell:

  • “Lahm effortlessly moves from a Kansas City styled opener “Solid Love” to a Jaco Pastorious tribute “Coyote.” Chapin, a saxophonist we lost last year to cancer is haunting but so is Lew Tabakin. Wow, his straightahead jazz is so very expressive. On “Blue Motel Room,” he compliments organist Mike LeDonne and William Galison’s harmonica to slide the blues into your back pocket. Lahm reveals Joni Mitchell as a true jazzbo, something that could have wrecked her career so many years ago.”
    --Mark Corroto, All About Jazz

  • “Jazz Takes sports some remarkable soloing: the prayer-meeting fervor of Thomas Chapin’s alto sax on "Shadows and Light," David Friedman’s angelic vibes on "Song for Sharon," and the ecstatic swing of Lew Tabackin’s tenor on "Solid Love," to site several of the most obvious examples. And Randy Brecker’s stunning flugelhorn contributions throughout the angst-ridden "Edith and the Kingpin" surely rank among the finest recorded examples of his work on this horn.”
    Chuck Obuchowski, WWUH, Hartford, CT

  • “Approaching Jazz Takes from the standpoint of an album of original and unknown (to me) compositions, I was immediately impressed by the swinging groove…”
    --Jack Bowers, All About Jazz

  • "In sometimes startlingly deconstructionist mode, Lahm captures [Mitchell's] musical and emotional complexity."
