Joe Lovano is one of the best and most versatile tenor saxophonists of all time. His Blue Note oeuvre contains tributes to artists from Coltrane to Sinatra and Caruso, alongside collaborations with legendary musicians in every possible line-up. In Us Five he plays with heroes of the new jazz generation. Their new album contains eccentric variations to Charlie Parker’s compositions. ‘Lovano now stands at the heart of contemporary jazz, a figure who, solo by solo, album by album, demonstrates the continuing fertility of the genre, straddling innovation and tradition’ (Penguin Guide to Jazz).
