The Light Beyond: Frank Gambale, Stuart Hamm and Steve Smith
by Josef Woodard
Reports of fusion's death have been greatly exaggerated. The cultural phenomenon, by which jazz and rock made a potent alliance during the '70s, generally slipped out of the public ear and major label consciousness, as jazz as a whole retreated into a more historicist, unplugged attitude. But out of corporate sight only out of corporate mind, ...

John Kelman's Best Releases of 2019

These days, one need only look to music by ...
Steve Khan: Backlog
by Mark Sullivan
Latin jazz has rarely featured the guitar, but that hasn't stopped Steve Khan. Backlog continues in the vein of previous albums including Parting Shot (Tone Center, 2011) and Subtext (Tone Center, 2014): creative Latin arrangements of Great American Songbook standards and modern jazz tunes that are rarely played in Latin style (or in any style, in ...

Backlog is third in this series and represents some of the esteemed jazz guitarist's finest work to date.

Though sometimes--as in the case of jazz-rock fusion--he was thrown ...
