Jazz critic Kevin Whitehead reviews "Mickey One" (Verve) the soundtrack from the Arthur Penn film. It's been reissued and features Stan Getz.

Two new trio albums by tenor saxophonists who won the Thelonious Monk jazz competition share a conspicuous influence — vintage Sonny Rollins.

The French pianist is known for inserting pieces of wood between strings to produce new sounds. Delbecq's technique — as showcased on his new album — can make him sound like he has an extra hand.
