J. Geils Band: Full House
by C. Michael Bailey
Blow your face out, baby... Once, when I was teaching Chemical Quantitative Analysis to pharmacy students, one of my charges approached me before a test and asked, “Can you tell me all I need to know to pass this quant quiz?" The exam was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and my class was wanting ...
Derek & The Dominos: Live at the Fillmore
by C. Michael Bailey
Eric Clapton and Miles Davis have in common their involvement with several “super groups" that changed the way we heard music at the same time illuminated accompanying musicians who would go on and make names of their own. The Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, The Blind Faith, Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, and, finally, Derek and ...
The Best Live Recordings: Rock and Beyond...
by C. Michael Bailey
Original Preface, 2004 Okay, Okay. I noted that I had said that I would conclude my list of The Top Ten Live Rock Recordings with a list of five rather than ten other live discs to be considered. I love live music and that is why I hedged. Here are a couple more recordings deserving some ...
Geri Allen: The Life of a Song
by C. Michael Bailey
A couple of things come to mind when listening to this recording. One is that all three of the principals were linked professionally to Miles Davis. The rhythm section of Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette were part of Miles' monumental Bitches Brew sessions. Geri Allen's connection is a bit more out of the way in that ...
Junior Brown: Down Home Chrome
by C. Michael Bailey
It would be very easy to dismiss Junior Brown as a retro ( really retro ) country and western act. That is if he did not have the perfect Ernest Tubb-baritone voice and play a hybrid instrument called a “git-steel." The latter is the musician's true claim to fame, a combination of an electric ...

Lorenzo Ghielmi/Enrico Onofri/Margret K: Anno 1630
by C. Michael Bailey
The music presented in this collection was originally composed or published around the year 1630. This is a hinge date, occurring as the Renaissance was winding down and the baroque period was starting up. However, this is not the same era as middle or late baroque period talent such as Vivaldi, Handel, or Bach. They were ...
Omar Sosa: Aleatoric EFX: Live Solo Concert - Radio Bremen
by C. Michael Bailey
It may be a bit disingenuous to say that Aleatoric EFX may become the next Köln Concert. Keith Jarrett's 1975 masterpiece could legitimately claim to have given birth to the New Age music genre. By today's standards, the Köln Concert perhaps does not seem so novel. It seems our sensibilities may need to be pushed a ...
Mark Elf: Glad to be Back
by C. Michael Bailey
New York City guitarist Mark Elf has been missing in action for the past year. Mr. Elf spent the majority of 2003 and 2004 recovering from not one but two life-threatening health conditions. Now, convalesced and back on his feet, he offers us an expression of gratitude in Glad to be Back. Always in the company ...
