Biography

Editorial Reviews

Don�t ever write off Arthur Blythe. This fantastically talented alto saxophonist, now in his 60s, is playing as well as ever, as evidenced by this exuberant project, which pairs him with three of his most familiar longtime associates: pianist John Hicks, tubist Bob Stewart, and drummer Cecil Brooks lll. In this comfortable setting, Blythe sounds relaxed yet consistently inventive, alert, and in possession of an utterly individual tone. The blues remains on the altoist�s mind, as it should, Blythe takes to the form the way nearly all classic jazz players do. He also sketches ballads and roams through other musical settings with the assurance and style that first came to us fully blown in the mid-1970s. Blythe may pop on and off the radar, but Exhale gives evidence that he�s still in fighting shape, poised for another comeback. Steve Futterman, Barnes & Noble
