At the end of the second set at Z7 in Pratteln last night, the Warren Haynes Band locked into the groove of "Pretzel Logic", the title cut of Steely Dan's 1974 album, and extended it with solos by the whole band: drummer Terrence Higgins, bassist Kevin Scott, alto saxophonist Greg Osby, keyboardist Matt Slocum, and bandleader Warren Hanyes on electric guitar. Osby's solo was especially riveting, with Higgins and Scott playing around the groove and Osby pushing into free-jazz territory. After Donald Harrison the night before at the Bird's Eye in Basel with The Cookers, that made two nights in a row for me of great alto players born in 1960. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 11 July 2025)
