I'm All For You by Joe Lovano.
Few saxophonists carry the weight of the jazz ballad tradition quite like Joe Lovano, and "I'm All For You" finds him leaning fully into that lyrical territory. Recorded across two days in June 2003 at Avatar Studios in New York City, the album gathers a program of standards and select gems into a spacious, unhurried listening experience that rewards patience and repeated visits.
The record opens with its title track, "I'm All For You," setting an intimate tone that carries through "Don't Blame Me" on the first side. Lovano's tenor speaks in full sentences here, phrasing with the kind of warmth and deliberation that only comes from an artist secure enough to let a melody breathe rather than rushing to fill every measure.
Side B stretches into some of the album's most rewarding moments, beginning with a reading of Thelonious Monk's "Monk's Mood," followed by "The Summary" drawn from Suite For Pops, and closing with the perennial "Stella By Starlight." The pairing of a Monk composition with a nod to the broader jazz songbook shows Lovano's fluency across idioms, moving from angular introspection to open, singing lyricism without ever losing his voice.
The back half continues the ballad-forward arc across sides C and D, with "I Waited For You" and "Like Someone In Love" giving way to "Early Autumn" and, finally, "Countdown." That closing choice offers a bracing release of energy, a reminder that even a record this steeped in tenderness has fire to spare when the moment calls for it.
Beyond the music, this pressing is a serious object for the discerning collector. The original recording was mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound in New York, while the LP itself benefits from lacquer work by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, a name that carries considerable weight among audiophiles for the clarity and dynamic honesty he brings to analog cuts. The runouts are etched, and a Made in Germany sticker sits above the barcode.
Carrying a ℗ 2004 and © 2022 Capitol Records, LLC designation, this is a considered reissue that treats a modern ballad statement with the care it deserves. For listeners who prize the quieter corners of the jazz catalog, or for anyone building a shelf of exemplary tenor recordings, "I'm All For You" belongs in the conversation. It is the sound of a master craftsman in a reflective mood, pressed and mastered with the attention that music of this caliber demands.
