CAB: CAB 4

April 21, 2004

One of fusion’s finest supergroups has jumped ship to Steve Vai’s label and continued a steady climb to the top of the ranks. Jazz-rock veteran Brian Auger has become a regular fixture of CAB now, and the addition of guest Patrice Rushen on five tracks of this new disc only adds to the band’s hot, soulful vibe.

The first couple of CAB efforts were head and shoulders above most of what was happening in fusion in the late ...

CAB (MacAlpine/Brunel/Chambers/Auger): CAB 2

by Todd S. Jenkins
May 1, 2001

One of the most talked-about trios of recent times unites with a legend of jazz-rock to brew up an unforgettable session. The first CAB album (Tone Center, 1999) turned many heads with its tasty blend of Tony MacAlpine’s shred-guitar chops, Bunny Brunel’s fusion bass sensibilities, and Dennis Chambers’ soulful but hard-rocking drumming. This time around the titanic trio joined forces with Brian Auger, who forged mighty alloys of rock, soul and jazz with his bands Trinity and Oblivion Express in ...

Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism (2003)

July 18, 2011

By Tom Johnson

There are moments when bands turn a corner, where everything becomes a bit more tightened up, stronger, more prominent. Transatlanticism was that album for Death Cab For Cutie.

The corner this album turned for them took them from simply being an indie band to being something to contend with and watch. There were glimmers of this on their previous album, The Photo Booth, where bits of really thoughtful, meaningful guitar riffs would emerge from their signature chiming ...

Cab Calloway's Legacy

February 5, 2011

Having spent the day yesterday listening to Cab Calloway's recordings from 1930 to 1955, I began to wonder: Has Calloway been shortchanged? Does hip start with his records of the early '30s? Did he originate cool? Can jazz's with-it, knowing wink be traced back to his records of the early '30s? Calloway, of course, was the baton-waving bandleader with the tuxedo suits and tails, wide-brim hats, oversized mouth, unkempt hair and songs about Minnie the Moocher and Hi-De-Ho—all celebrated perfectly ...

Flannel rock god Neil Young may be long in the tooth, but his shows don't feel like cynical victory laps, meant to bring in money hand over fist so that he can afford another yacht (OK, a log cabin somewhere in the Canadian wilds, maybe).

Young has always kept it real, even when it's caused some controversy, like on his 2006 song “Let's Impeach the President." The mentor to acts such as Eddie Vedder and Tegan and Sara ...
