Suggesting a refresher on the sounds originally broadcast by the Jazz Messengers, the Jazz Update, Canadian-born saxophonist Jeff Antoniuk's Annapolis-based quartet, is aptly named. The group doesn't strive to reinvent the music, but simply to dust off some familiar sounds for a modern-day workout. On their debut CD, 2007's Here Today, that applies not just to standards — Monk's "Four in One," Benny Golson's "Stablemates" — but to Antoniuk's own compositions. "Rain" evokes Oliver Nelson's "Stolen Moments," while "Blues for J.D. Salinger" is an explosive showcase for drummer Tony Martucci in the Blakey vein.
