Pat Metheny w/ Dave Holland and Roy Haynes: Question and Answer

Read "Question and Answer" reviewed by Chris May


Question and Answer is the second in a glittering, altogether too infrequent series of albums guitarist Pat Metheny has recorded in acoustic trio settings, usually on the hoof and with little post-production, which act as a counterweight to his more elaborate work with larger line-ups. Recorded in 1989 and originally released on Geffen, it's been immaculately ...

Kenny Burrell: Mr. Good Notes

Read "Kenny Burrell: Mr. Good Notes" reviewed by Russ Musto


“I'm just trying to play the good notes," says Kenny Burrell, lighthearted laughter accompanying his response to the question of how he would characterize his style of guitar playing.

Ornette Coleman: The Complete Science Fiction Sessions

Read "The Complete Science Fiction Sessions" reviewed by David Adler


Listening to the first moments of “What Reason Could I Give," the lead-off track on this valuable reissue, one is reminded of Ornette Coleman's pervasive influence on present-day jazz composition.

Ornette Coleman: Complete Science Fiction Sessions

Read "Complete Science Fiction Sessions" reviewed by Derek Taylor
