"Roses" Top Five albums of 2007 on two NYTimes lists:
Nate Chinen- 3. BILL MCHENRY: ‘ROSES’ (Sunnyside). Throughout
his gorgeous and uncompromising new record the tenor saxophonist
Bill McHenry threads his melodies as if through a fabric.
He’s confident enough to let his band mates — the insinuative
drummer Paul Motian, the venturesome bassist Reid Anderson
and especially the ingenious guitarist Ben Monder — shape
the songs as they desire.
Ben Ratliff- 4. BILL MCHENRY: ‘ROSES’ (Sunnyside). Jazz at its best is always both old-fashioned and modern, and the saxophonist Bill McHenry is a good example.
He plays with unabashed enthusiasm for melody: no mazes of harmony or time signature here; the warm, sweet lines ripely tumble out,
dictating the band’s rhythm as they go.
Bill McHenry Quintet's CD SONIC PRESSURE
with Duane Eubanks, Matt Penman, Pete Rende and Jeff Williams
recorded live at FAT CAT New York City on Fresh Sound Records
Bill's previous CD "Bill McHenry Quartet
featuring Paul Motian" was featured on NPR's All Songs
Considered. More info is at npr.org/programs
