		Lovano doesn't adopt influences -- he absorbs them -- so that when playing a standard, he exudes the same sense of abandon as when playing totally free (which, it should be pointed out, he does well, if infrequently).
		Lovano's most significant achievement is his incorporation of free and modal expressive devices into traditional chord-change improvisation.
		Lovano is the son of the respected Cleveland saxophonist Tony "Big T" Lovano.

		Lovano's muscular, vocally inflected tone, Hart's bold cymbal work, Cox's responsiveness and drive, and Harrell's concentrated lyricism make the music sing and dance with a warmth uncommon in free settings.
		On "Uprising," Lovano's C-melody sax treads the middle ground between tenor and alto, so his sound isn't as strident as Coleman's, yet he plays with poised urgency.
		Lovano's control of the color and shape of his notes is always precise; he never mistakes harshness for power.

	Live & On Record \| JOE LOVANO AT BERKLEE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Lovano and the Berklee String Orchestra under the direction of Eugene Friesen were equal to the challenge.
		Lovano embraced "Her" with a big bear hug of a tone that was soft and strong at the same time.
		Lovano’s delicate, bluesy inflections and swing gave this courtly encounter with the Debussy-influenced score the same sly and understated earthiness that graces his recent Viva Caruso (Blue Note), a tribute to opera star Enrico Caruso.

	Joe Lovano Quartet lights fire at Tanglewood, 9/4/98
		Lovano's group was both tightly controlled and musically loose and freewheeling, allowing the soloists to compose on-the-spot while the ensemble retained the swinging feel and the harmonic framework of the individual tunes.
		Lovano kicked off his set with "Fort Worth," one of his signature tunes, on which he alternated bebop lines with ascending and descending arpeggios, occasionally stopping to explore a particular riff he liked or stumbled upon.
		Werner and Lovano have been playing together for over two decades, and their affinity was amply evident on the new Lovano composition, "Sanctuary Park." Werner introduced the number with an impressionistic bed of chords upon which Lovano built the dreamy tune.

		Joe isn't much of a nickname, so maybe talent counts, too, and he shows a lot of it on this album.
		Lovano's had a string of strong albums, but on this one he and the others sound like they're enjoying themselves even more than usual -- letting loose in a be-bop style they love.
		Joe and his partners can play, and this was one of the best jazz albums issued during the year 2000, even if Joe IS a pretty lame nickname.

		Lovano then played a series of repetitive figures atop a modal floor laid down by Werner, who slammed a chord in return for every honk by Lovano.
		Lovano finished up with circular patterns and riffs, with Werner tagging along, and Israel brought the curtain down with the best drum solo of the entire festival.
		Lovano's was a witty, exciting demonstration of improvisational music at its contemporary finest.

		The saxophonists Joe Lovano, Mike Brecker and Dave Liebman are all time favorites of the hard, post and neo bop generation who return right to the “heavy blowers”; right for the rap jazz with a lot of blue notes mixed in.
		Joe is a true jazzman, meaning he evokes the atmosphere, ethic and ambiance of the culture as well as encompassing the entire history of jazz saxophone.
		Joe’s experience in several styles of playing is vast which he brings to fruition when he plays, combined with great passion and an uplifting sense of swing.

	CD Review of Joe Lovano - Joyous Encounter on Blue Note @ jazzreview.com
		Now that Joe Lovano has recorded two consecutive CDs with the same quartet, one wonders why they weren't released as a double-CD package all at once, allowing Lovano to move on to his next intriguing idea.
		As a result, Lovano isn't as much repeating the original idea of the quartet session with some of the most respected of jazz musicians, as he is moving it forward.
		As Lovano releases his seventeenth Blue Note album, the realization occurs that he is building a discography that will leave a legacy as assiduously studied and admired as those of the jazz forebears whose legacies he modestly and ardently admires.

	Joe Lovano: Joyous Encounter - PopMatters Music Review
		Lovano has won numerous Downbeat magazine awards (Downbeat is the living Bible of jazz), and has achieved superstar status within the insular musical community.
		Lovano constantly pushes the tempo and melody over the drumming and purposely leaves the piano and bass a beat or two behind.
		Lovano can also take a ballad, like Thad Jones' "Quiet Lady", and let the melody linger in a way that lets the band get into a relaxed groove.

		Lovano has always been a wonderful ballad player; to hear him in this intimate context with players of the absolute highest caliber is a very special treat.
		Lovano has a kind of street-smart, blue-collar, no-nonsense approach that enables him to imbue his ballad playing with complete sincerity, devoid of sentimentality or irony.
		Although he and Lovano haven't played together much, Jones brings such a deep knowledge of the entire history of jazz to this session that he always seems ready with the absolutely appropriate move be it in a comping or solo capacity.

		Lovano again shows his innovative expertise while playing songs that, for the most part, are standards.
		Lovano comes back in with a soothing, yet strong, statement of the theme which makes you feel that the title cut of the CD is aptly named.
		For this number, Lovano plays primarily in the upper register of the tenor sax and the main theme of the song is not easily discerned.

		Lovano played tenor sax and an unusual assortment of horns including a curved soprano (a tiny instrument that has a toy-like appearance), alto clarinet (with a small bell) and a straight alto sax (a beautiful looking instrument that has become something of a Lovano trademark).
		Drewes, Douglas and Lovano proved to be a formidable front line and this loose-jointed high energy rendition was incredibly exciting.
		I've had the pleasure of seeing Lovano perform on several occasions and his playing is always at a very high level.

		Whether on tenor--his main horn--alto or bass clarinet, Lovano is a striking improviser.
		But what makes Lovano such a great jazz musician is that he always finds ways to play within the given context, no matter what the instrumentation.
		Lovano insists on exploring new sonic landscapes, using unusual instrumentation and an improvisational style as original as it is rooted in the music's most profound past.

		Cleveland's own Joe Lovano made his recording debut in 1974 with keyboardist Lonnie Liston Smith.
		Lovano joined the John Scofield Quartet in the early 1980s, and it was a reprised union with Scofield in 1991 that led this phenomenal sax player to be signed as a front-man with Blue Note.

	CD Review of Joe Lovano - Viva Caruso on Blue Note @ jazzreview.com
		In that respect, Lovano adopts the same searching aesthetic as Don Byron’s, which consists of a lifelong appreciation and expansion of the music heard as a child.
		Lovano’s growth took a leap, though, when he met his wife and musical partner, Judi Silvano, who introduced him to opera, classical music and dance.
		Lovano perceived the colors of Italy as consisting of brightness accented by subdued warmth as described by reed instruments and rolling drums.

		Joyous Encounter, Joe Lovano's 17th recording for Blue Note, is an anomaly in his extraordinary career, as it marks the first time that the saxophonist has returned to the studio with the same band to record a sequel of his last outing.
		Lovano, whose discography is expansive both stylistically and thematically and who regularly changes ensemble configurations from one album to the next, decided to revisit the quartet magic, this time with a broader range of tempos, rather than rev up another one of his projects waiting in the wings for documentation.
		Lovano contributes two compositions to the CD: the skipping and rolling "Bird's Eye View," with a rollicking Jones piano solo, and the title track, another spirited jaunt.

		Joe Lovano is a lucky man and he knows it.
		Joe explains that he was particularly fond of the chart, which featured his clarinet so when Hank suggested the tune, he was enthusiastic: âIt really came out very hip, especially the way Paul played the toms and toms, and his rim shots.
		Joe believes that the first recording with this group âwas really a springboard into the way we play together.
