2006 studio album by Joe Lovano
Streams of Expression is the 20th studio album by American jazz musician Joe Lovano to be released on the Blue Note label.[7] It was released in 2006 and features a five-part "Streams of Expression Suite," three-part "Birth of the Cool Suite," and three other shorter works. The "Birth of the Cool Suite" was conducted by Gunther Schuller and utilizes melodic themes inspired by Miles Davis ' work from his 1948 and 1950 nonet. The album also features George Garzone , Ralph Lalama , Gary Smulyan , and Tim Hagans .
Reception [ edit ] Steve Greenlee of JazzTimes stated "This disc can be considered something of a sequel to 1995’s Rush Hour , which stands among Lovano’s very best... The music is interesting enough, especially when Lovano solos, but this is not a disc that will find itself in my CD changer often... It is Lovano’s original suite that constitutes the better portion of this album.[8] John Fordham of The Guardian commented "This could have been a legacy-jazz homage that simply polished the glossy surfaces of these timeless pieces, but Lovano and Schuller have chosen to look both back at the genre's pre-bop roots and forward to the free-jazz it helped release".[3]
