John McLaughlin: Liberation Time

by Geno Thackara
July 17, 2021

Perhaps the biggest success of Liberation Time is that its title feels sincere and not ironic. Such a sentiment could have easily come out as a cute bit of wishful thinking under the restrictions of pandemic life. Being who he is, though, John McLaughlin inevitably finds the value and positivity even in this strange state of ...

Wayne Krantz: Music Room 1985

by Mike Jacobs
June 12, 2021

When it comes to lost recordings, unpublished novels or newly unearthed art of any sort, receptions tend to be somewhat mixed. This may be because, in many cases, those responsible for these works are usually dead and/or mythologized to a degree, so the expectational ante gets upped accordingly.

And quite frankly, they are pretty ubiquitous these days with the internet exposure machine going full tilt. Given all that, it's quite easy for the listener to become inured with technical prowess-- especially ...

Wayne Krantz: Write Out Your Head

by Mike Jacobs
May 9, 2020

What do you want from Wayne Krantz anyway? It's a particularly relevant question when new release time rolls around for the guitar icon(oclast).

He's more known for being preoccupied with things like inventing (and reinventing) himself, exploring and capturing ineffable group mojo, or ...
