Gov't Mule: High and Mighty
by Doug Collette
With their new album High & Mighty, Gov't Mule has once again given the lie to the myth that a hard-rockin' band can't possess a finely tuned intellect. Or that a musical group with real strength is too muscle-bound to display sufficient finesse to improvise with urgency and purpose. The sound of High & Mighty hits ...
Gov't Mule in Boston: High and Mighty Indeed
by Doug Collette
Gov't Mule Bank of America Pavilion Boston, Mass June 2nd 2006 God bless the Mule! As the quartet ambled onstage, heavy wind and rain pelted the huge tent at the Bank of America Pavilion, assaulting those audience members close to the edge of the seated area. Warren Haynes and ...
Bobby Previte: The Coalition of the Willing
by Donald Elfman
Bobby Previte's musical evolution has been most fascinating. The records he's made for a variety of labels show an astonishing scope but, amazingly, there has never really been a disconnect, even now playing “electronic" drums or instrumental rock music. Color and expression have always been paramount in Previte's output and his palette has always been directed ...
A "Dear John" letter to The (Suspicious) Bad Plus
by Mark Sabbatini
Dear Ethan, Reid and David: I love you, but we can't have a relationship if there's no trust. That nickname “The Bad Plus" is a winner and I always considered you an artistic genius when many others saw you as phony, or maybe just a little deranged. Sure that made you popular, ...
Suspicious Activity Indeed: The Bad Plus Live
by Doug Collette
Irreverent and eccentric, The Bad Plus are a bundle of nervous energy when they play. Yet as this ever-so-intimate venue in the Green Mountains of Vermont, the trio entranced rather than repel by dint of their humor and imagination, not to mention just enough conventionalism to make their quirks that much more effective. The early ...

by Matt Merewitz
A turbulent foray into experimental terrain recorded live at the Blue Note in Tokyo, bassist Reid Anderson, pianist Ethan Iverson, and drummer David King, who together make up the The Bad Plus, explore a plethora of styles on their third Columbia release Blunt Object: Live In Tokyo.

From The Green Mountains to The Hub: The Derek Trucks Band Live Fall 2004
by Doug Collette
Derek Trucks is a legend in the making. Whether you see him with The Allman Brothers Band or his own quintet, as on two recent dates in the northeast, you are witnessing the constantly evolving young guitarist display an utter command of his instrument as well as the down to earth pragmatics of a working musician(and ...
Clogs: Stick Music
by John Kelman
With bassoonist Rachael Elliott and percussionist Thomas Kozumplik on temporary hiatus, Clogs pares down to a duo, leaving guitarist Bryce Dessner and violinist/violist Padma Newsome as the driving force behind its new release, Stick Music. While violinist Jennifer Choi, cellist Erik Friedlander and percussionist Tim Feeney add worthwhile guest appearances, Stick Music is really about the ...
