Elliott Caine Quintet: Blues From Mars

Read "Blues From Mars" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone


File under: Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers (with some variations). Los Angeles trumpeter and bandleader Elliott Caine's fiery third album, Blues From Mars, features a combo that ranges from quartet to septet. At least half of the album reflects the musical world of Blakey: a leader who plays very much in the style of Lee Morgan, a tenor saxophonist who sounds like Benny Golson or a young Wayne Shorter, and catchy bebop tunes ripe with call and response melody ...

Elliott Caine: Blues from Mars

Read "Blues from Mars" reviewed by Jim Santella


As advertised, Elliott Caine brings back the '60s Blue Note style of straight-ahead jazz with this trumpet-led ensemble of veterans.

Elliott Caine Sextet Live on "Hippie Chicks" CD

Source: Gapplegate Music Review by Grego Edwards

Despite the psychedelic title (Hippie Chicks On Acid)(Wondercap 07006) and the tongue- in-cheek cover art, this CD documents a modern hard bop sextet date shading into energy territory (something like Lee Morgan in the Lighthouse period). Trumpeter Elliott Caine has that extroverted, big brassy sound of the Navarro-Brown through Morgan-Shaw school. His sextet has notable other solo voices too—Carl Randall on tenor, Maheesh Balasooriya on piano, Nick Mancini, vibes; and a crack bass-drums team of Bill Markus and Kenny Elliott, ...
