Dewa Budjana: Zentuary

Read "Zentuary" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki


Indonesian composer, guitarist and bandleader Dewa Budjana's tenth release (and his first on guitarist Steve Vai's label Favored Nations in association with Budjana's usual label, MoonJune) reviews, consolidates and advances his sound. Budjana's three decades of performing and recording, including collaborations with jazz A-listers as Peter Erskine, Joe Locke and Larry Goldings, are worth the retrospective. ...

Dewa Budjana: Zentuary

Read "Zentuary" reviewed by John Kelman


In retrospect, all paths have truly led to this.

Each successive album, from 2013's Dawai in Paradise through to 2015's Hasta Karma, have found the Indonesian guitarist raising ...

Vernon Reid & Masque: Other True Self

Read "Other True Self" reviewed by John Kelman

Terry Bozzio + Metropole Orkest: Chamber Works

Read "Chamber Works" reviewed by John Kelman


Terry Bozzio is perhaps best known as a chops-laden drummer who's more at home in the pop/rock and fusion worlds. Chamber Works, which teams him with Netherlands' Metropole Orkest--like guitarist Mike Keneally's similar collaboration on last year's The Universe Will Provide--demonstrates that Bozzio is about much, much more. A member of the late Frank Zappa's band ...
