I've known Reggie Workman (b. 1937) for many years through our faculty positions at the New School Jazz Program in NYC. He is a force of nature. Best known for his associations with John Coltrane and Art Blakey, he has had many credits in the free-jazz realm as both leader and sideman. His group Trio 3 (co-led with Oliver Lake and Andrew Cyrille) is one of the finest free-jazz groups of recent decades.
I've never met Alan Pasqua, but I've always been impressed by his work. He is a pianist who sounds like no one else and who shines in a variety of contexts.
Postcards Records/Arkadia Records are new to me, so I'm really looking forward to discover these interesting recordings. Of course most of the musicians names are familiar to me.
