Joel Frahm - Live at Smalls (2013/2025) [Official Digital Download]

There's lots of great guitar/tenor interplay in this live set from Joel Frahm – a date that's recorded with a wonderfully warm feel that almost makes it top any of Frahm's studio sessions! Tracks are nice and long, and really balance a lot of Frahm's snaking tenor lines with the guitar of Kurt Rosenwinkel – in a quartet that also features Otis Brown III on piano, and Joe Martin on bass. The set features many originals by Frahm – including "Alert", "Song For Mom", "A Little Extra", and "Short Rack" – plus versions of "Chelsea Bridge" and "Steeplechase"

"Live at Smalls captures the energy of New York jazz with very strong performances by all — and particularly captivating solos from Rosenwinkel. We also see Frahm’s compositional prowess, with a range of diverse and innovative tunes. But most importantly, the album demonstrates Joel’s complete emotional vulnerability on the instrument, allowing him to communicate feelings in the purest form." (somethingelsereviews.com)
