Album Review
Long a well-kept secret in Texas, Elias Haslanger is a talented tenor and soprano saxophonist with warm tones on his instruments and the ability to improvise in a variety of settings. Joined by a fine local rhythm section and (on six of the ten numbers) hard bop trumpeter Tito Carrillo, Haslanger performs a set of modern straight-ahead originals in addition to sounding quite warm on Duke Ellington's "Just Squeeze Me," one of two songs that have Ellis Marsalis guesting on piano. There are no slow moments on this stimulating set, Haslanger consistently comes up with fresh ideas, and although somewhat obscure, this is one of the best jazz recordings released in 1998.
Recent Customer Reviews
stirring, beautifully conceived
by Doug Ramsey"The Coltrane comparisons are already coming for saxophonist Haslanger, and they're not unfounded. On his second release, Haslanger proves adept at emulating 'Trane's earlier work and also evinces a strong feel for the master's spiritual side, as on the stirring, beautifully conceived "Patience." But locking this guy into a category and leaving him there is simply wrong-headed: With his slippery, multi-faceted approach, Haslanger sounds like he's at the beginning of a career path all his own. With melodic gifts that are every bit as inventive as his chops, Haslanger's composing shows a deep understanding of classic-era Blue Note ensemble invention.” -– Larry Nai, JAZZIZ Magazine
