Early Bird, Late Shift Richard Termine for The New York Times Belatedly: my current column for JazzTimes, which appears in the Dec. issue, is about the quandary of precisely when a critic should review a club engagement. The spur for this topic was a March gig by tenor saxophonist Bill McHenry, which I caught on the first night of a weeklong run, in what I thought was less-than-perfect form. I refer you to the column for more, but in the meantime, here's my review of that gig, and here is a link to the fine album recorded later in the run.
