One Track Mind: Al Di Meola, "Strawberry Fields" (2011)
By Nick DeRiso Jazz guitarist Al Di Meola, the former teen prodigy in Return to Forever, accomplishes an uncommon thing here, making something out of a cover attempt at the Beatles' “Strawberry Fields Forever."

A Striking "Golden Striker"
Rifftides readers who responded enthusiastically to the video we posted on February 22 in connection with a piece about the Modern Jazz Quartet may be absolutely delirious when they see—and hear—this one. Again, the music is John Lewis's “The Golden Striker." The video is from the same 1982 MJQ tour that produced the version recorded in ...
