Read "Rio de Janeiro" reviewed by Richard J Salvucci

Here is an odd one. Originally released on the short-lived Detroit label Strata in 1975, Larry Nozero's Time defies categorization.

The Louis Stewart Trio: Louis The First

Read "Louis The First" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Long before Irish guitarist Louis Stewart released his debut album, the punningly titled Louis The First, none other than Joe Pass was singing his praises. Pass was not the only one; Ronnie Scott, who hosted many of the great jazz guitarists in his famous London venue, considered Stewart to be one of the best. Stewart was ...
