Bryan and the Haggards: Pretend It's The End of the World

Read "Pretend It's The End of the World" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


The legend of Merle Haggard is probably as large as the life of the folk music star. Only Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash have a larger legend than Haggard. The writer of “Okie from Muskogee" is the star of this album, Pretend It's The End of the World by this ensemble ...

Bryan and the Haggards: Pretend It's the End of the World

Read "Pretend It's the End of the World" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Le vicende artistiche e umane della leggenda del country Merle Haggard hanno seguito un percorso comune a molti grandi della musica. Un'infanzia difficile, una vita condita da detenzioni e umiliazioni, la musica come unico momento di riscatto, il riconoscimento tardivo del proprio talento e della propria arte. Ma cosa possono avere in comune un musicista country ...

The Jazz Session #184: Bryan Murray of Bryan and the Haggards

When one thinks of free jazz, one of the first names that springs to mind is that of Merle Haggard. And so, it's perfectly natural that saxophonist Bryan Murray would have assembled a band to play free versions of Haggard's songs. The result is the very engaging Pretend It's The End Of The World (Hot Cup, ...

Bryan and the Haggards: Pretend It's the End of the World

Read "Pretend It's the End of the World" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Can a saxophone “twang?" If it's a set of music celebrating the sounds of Bakersfield, California's county music legend, Merle Haggard, it had better do just that. And strangely, with Pretend It's the End of the World, by Bryan and the Haggards, the saxophone blowing of altoist Jon Irabagon and the tenorist/leader Bryan Murray find that ...

Jon Gold: Brazil Confidential

Read "Brazil Confidential" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


Jon Gold's Brazil Confidential is unique. It is an album of music that shows just how much the pianist and composer has internalized the Brazilian experience and what that can do for authenticity when it comes to an American musician writing in a Brazilian style. It may be true that the experience is largely urban, but ...

Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Accomplish Jazz

Read "Accomplish Jazz" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


There is a refreshing, albeit immediate, sense of naïveté about the music of guitarist Jon Lundbom. As the music progresses, however, it becomes evident that Lundbom wears this almost childlike wonder as a rather thin mask, belying a graceful sophistication that marks an apparent determination to go beyond the mere skin of sound. This is eminently ...

Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Accomplish Jazz

Read "Accomplish Jazz" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard


The lineage of guitarists with a lyrical bent is staggering. From Charlie Christian to Kurt Rosenwinkel, guitarists have often been praised not only for their technical skills, but also for their ability to sculpt finely woven lines of melody. Beauty, however, is a strange thing and there is also another school of guitarists to which belongs ...
