Pocket: Pocket

by John Eyles

Ward, who also plays clarinet, famously appeared in one of Derek Bailey's Company Weeks when he was only 14. All of which makes Pocket even more remarkable than it would otherwise have been. The band and the album are both stripped back to the essentials, and have a classic ...

Unsigned Treasures: Mark "Pocket" Goldberg - Off the Alleyway (2010)

Source:
Something Else!
By Nick DeRiso Mark Pocket" Goldberg's Off the Alleyway, a rootsy Americana recording with the flickering neon-soul of a blues joint, stays well away from the beaten path. His sound is as eclectic as the country's rolling byways, bringing in low-country pedal steel, back-pew harmonizing, the nostalgic wheeze of an accordion, and crunchy late-night guitar growls. Rumbling this musical gumbo up to a boil is Goldberg's bone-deep baritone. The Los Angeles resident is known for his cat-gut doghouse bass work, ...

That's not the case with Tascam's DR-08. This linear (meaning it doesn't compress sound files) voice recorder, dressed in black and dreamy tangerine, uses tiltable twin microphones to compensate for a wide range of ...

All About Jazz
The car whirls around the curves of the hilly Los Angeles neighborhood as we make our way to meet musician Kyle Eastwood.
Eastwood has arrived from Scotland just days before our scheduled interview and photo shoot. We have been advised that he requires no groomer, so it is simply the writer and the photographer who pass through the open gates to the two-story home he inhabits when he visits L.A.
He greets us warmly, dressed casually in a dark blue ...
