Slagle, Steve
Alto Manhattan
Genre: Jazz
Review: Smoking sax player and his killer quartet burn through a set of mostly originals. He occasionally play flute. Having Joe Lovano & Roman Diaz sit in on a few tracks adds to the excitement, but in the end, the band doesn't really need them. #4 is a sax solo
FCCs: none
If You Like: Pharoah Sanders, Phil Woods, Chris Potter
Favorite Tracks: (1) Family (2) Alto Manhattan (3) I Know That You Know (6) Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry (9) Viva La Familia
