Bill McHenry Quartet ROSES with Ben Monder Reid Anderson and Paul Motian is availible from Sunnyside Records http://www.sunnysiderecords.com/

"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
