"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.
John McNeil-Bill McHenry Quartet "Rediscovery" availible on Sunnyside 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
