Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey: The Battle for Earth

Read "The Battle for Earth" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey has been an adventuresome group since first initiated as an eight piece ensemble in its home of Oklahoma in 1994 But the group has quite possibly never lived up so fully to its moniker since realigning itself as a trio (again) in 2013. Keyboardist and charter member Brian Haas, guitarist/lap steel/synth ...

John Scofield: Past Present

Read "John Scofield: Past Present" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

During the course of his storied career, guitarist/composer John Scofield has never shown much of of a predilection to repeat himself. Rather, he navigates through projects as diverse as trio outings, experiments with horns, collections of ballads and collaborations with the likes of Gov't Mule and the Grateful Dead's Phil Lesh in a such a way ...

John Ellis: Charm

Read "Charm" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Through the course of more than a half dozen albums under his own name, increasingly less traditional with each successive release including Dance Like there's No Tomorrow (Hyena, 2008) Puppet Mischief (Oblique Sound, 2010), saxophonist/composer John Ellis has developed and refined his own sound, particularly through his continued work with his band Double Wide. Charm further ...

Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown: The Devil to Pay

Read "Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown: The Devil to Pay" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

John Mayall may remain the so-called 'Godfather of British Blues," but if that's so, then Kim Simmonds is certainly his consigliere. After all, Simmonds did mentor three members of Foghat, among other stalwarts of the the British blues boom of the late Sixties. And like Mayall, Simmonds has followed a similar path of regular touring and ...

The Chris Robinson Brotherhood: Betty's Blends Volume Two - Best from the West

Read "The Chris Robinson Brotherhood: Betty's Blends Volume Two - Best from the West" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Even before the final fracture of the Black Crowes, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood proved their prolific nature and hearty work ethic. To date they've produced three studio albums, accompanied by regular roadwork, that's now given birth to two live collections in what looks to be a series of such titles under the aegis of Betty Cantor-Jackson, ...

Chick Corea & Bela Fleck: Two

Read "Chick Corea & Bela Fleck: Two" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The collaboration of pianist/composer Chick Corea and banjoist/composer Bela Fleck is a magnificent meeting of the minds, one as unlikely as jazz of any era is likely to see and hear. The ever-so-serious and often precious approach of the former is largely contrasted by the playful, though occasionally cute-to-a-fault latter, but the complementary nature of their ...

Jerry Garcia: Broadway: Act One: October 28th, 1987

Read "Broadway: Act One: October 28th, 1987" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The deliciously relaxed air of the music on these three discs belies the precision in the musicianship as much as it does the operations necessary for a two week run on a Broadway theater. And all this attention to detail, well-served as it is, gives the lie to the moment of serendipity from which it sprung:an ...

The Who Live at Shea Stadium 1982

Read "The Who Live at Shea Stadium 1982" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The Who Live at Shea Stadium 1982 Eagle Vision 2015 It's equal parts courageous and foolish for The Who to release this document of their 'farewell' tour from over four decades ago as the group celebrates its fiftieth anniversary in 2015. Business enterprise aside, the band as it was constituted at ...
