Single
Moment is another outstanding Fred Hess Band effort.
Dan
McClenaghan - All About Jazz
Hess
is a likably unpredictable composer - he's absorbed a lot
of the jazz continuum, and listening to his music can evoke
images of Charles Mingus dropping Ornette Coleman off of a
cliff, for example.
Bret
Saunders - Denver Post
Reworking
the tradition from his own unique perspective, Hess avoids
radical deconstructions of standard material, choosing instead
to deal with these tunes as venerable classics. An incisive
set that spans the history of jazz, this date sheds new light
on Hess' abilities as an arranger and interpreter, rather
than his deft skills as a soloist, making Single Moment his
most accessible and refined recording.
Troy
Collins - All About Jazz
