4.0 out of 5 stars 1st Place For This "Run", May 18, 2002

This review is from: In the Long Run (Audio CD)

The rollicking, surviving tenor saxophonist of the Charlie Hunter Quartet, Ellis proves he has plenty of ideas on his second solo record. The bright, playful sounds he brought to the Quartet are all here, along with a solid grasp of arrangements. Ellis is in excellent company with a powerhouse of a group that includes Dmitri Metheny on flugelhorn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Near Perfect Jazz Recording by Best of the Young Tenors, December 22, 2000

Dave Ellis' follow-up recording to "Raven", which is probably my favorite tenor sax instrumental ensemble of the past 10 years, definitely did not let me down. Ellis continues in relative obscurity in comparison to a lot of the "young lion" tenors, but excels where many of them fall short. Ellis is savy, improvisational and his band is extremely tight. He has a knack for taking a cover tune and making it his own. That is a rarity in jazz today. Check this album out, as well as "Raven" at all costs... It is a must have for any jazz collector.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dave Ellis is Awesome!, July 28, 2000

In The Long Run is one of the best CDs I have ever purchased. I purchased this cd after purchasing Raven from Dave himself. I think his music is influenced upon his personality. Dave is a really cool guy and he makes great music. I especially like his personal compositions such as Meltdown. All in all if you are looking for some classic jazz with a modern touch buy this cd.
