Saxophonist extraordinaire Doug Webb builds on forward momentum and keeps working straight ahead with second release of 2010, "Renovations." This collection of timeless classics features some amazing performances by the heavy cats in the rhythm section (including pianist Larry Goldings and bassist Stanley Clarke) doing the heavy lifting behind the sensational melodicism and harmonic direction of the leader. With "Renovations," Doug Webb continues to proclaim that he is certainly a saxophonist to keep an eye on, and casual listeners and avid jazz fans everywhere will certainly want to check out Doug Webb's "Renovations." ~ dougwebb.bandcamp.com.
