Gary Burton / Pat Metheny / Steve Swallow / Antonio Sanchez: Quartet Live
by John Kelman
It's rare that a group can reunite to create what it had decades ago while remaining completely fresh and relevant. When guitarist Pat Metheny regrouped the Gary Burton Quartet--his training ground, beginning in his late-teens, from 1974- 1977--as one of his By Invitation performances at the 2005 Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, it was clear ...

by Doug Collette
The Five Peace Band Flynn Center for the Performing Arts Burlington, Vermont May 1, 2009 The whole that is The Five Peace Band certainly seems to be less than the sum of its parts, at least as they played the final concert of their extended tour at The ...
Charnett Moffett: The Art of Improvisation
by Francis Lo Kee
A fascinating recording, The Art of Improvisation is as mysterious as it is a showcase for the formidable bass playing skills of its leader Charnett Moffett; his playing on electric and acoustic basses has a grounded, vocal quality--he always seems to be singing through his instruments.

Chick Corea / John McLaughlin: Five Peace Band Live
by John Kelman
Superstar collaborations often look good on paper but don't pan out in reality, so it's a real pleasure to see that the pairing of two modern legends--keyboardist Chick Corea and guitarist John McLaughlin--is far more than some marketing representative's wet dream. Teaming with three younger players who add their own cachet--saxophonist Kenny Garrett, bassist Christian McBride ...
Barney McAll: Flashbacks
by John Kelman
