Connie Crothers and Roger Mancuso | Deep Into The Center
“…abstract harmonically and rhythmically swirling improvisations, expertly played…” — Michael Rosenstein, Cadence
Richard Tabnik Quartet | Life at the Core
Wispy and smooth, Tabnik transforms passages from Desmond-ish cool to stark, brightly lit punctuations which outline his solo phrases. With sparse articulation and an almost un-bop approach, the solos which are featured on this recording defy any predecessors. — Jason DuMars, Review (c)1996
