Mike Mizwinski: Sometimes By Surprise

Read "Sometimes By Surprise" reviewed by Doug Collette


The 53-plus minutes of deep introspection rendered tangible in a baker's dozen tracks by Mike Mizwinski and company transcends its most overt influences. In fact, the clear-cut echoes of Bob Dylan's “Tangled Up In Blue" on this opener, “Out at the Lake" pique the curiosity to hear more, if only to take note of the esteemed ...

Smooth Elevator: Moving Target

Read "Moving Target" reviewed by Doug Collette


With a band name that bespeaks fluid motion in the general direction of ascent, Smooth Elevator has set a high bar for itself. But the international trio of guitarist Will Bernard, bassist Danilo Gallo and drummer Gioele Pagliaccia wisely recorded Moving Target live in the studio, fresh from live dates, and, in so doing, captured the ...

Ronnie Wood: Fearless: The Anthology 1965-2025

Read "Fearless: The Anthology 1965-2025" reviewed by Doug Collette


If the Ronnie Wood anthology Fearless proves anything, it is that the predominant virtues of the peripatetic British musician are largely intangible. Not that the guitarist, songwriter and singer is not talented in those various roles, but that his most salient attributes, at least as depicted here, as those of a convivial individual who invariably contributes ...

Wolfgang Muthspiel: Tokyo

Read "Tokyo" reviewed by Doug Collette


Even a mere cursory perusal of Wolfgang Muthspiel's discography reveals how his playing has evolved over the years, populating a body of work that is roundly eclectic, but nonetheless focused. That very summary might well also apply to this third outing with the aforementioned high-profile rhythm section of bassist Scott Colley and drummer Brian Blade (ECM, ...

Matt Schofield: Many Moons Vol. 1

Read "Many Moons Vol. 1" reviewed by Doug Collette


The blues boom that exploded in England during the mid-to-late 1960s bequeathed more than a few guitar heroes to the world, including, but not limited to, Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor. But none of those fretboarders or their contemporaries and descendants has been any more loyal to the genre than Matt Schofield.

Marshall Crenshaw: From "The Hellhole"

Read "From "The Hellhole"" reviewed by Doug Collette


In something of a reflection of its sardonic title, Marshall Crenshaw's From “The Hellhole" is not an album of all-new, never-before-recorded original material. It consists instead of revamped versions of recordings the Detroit native 'completed' for release in various forms in recent years (not the least of which is the now out-of-print #392: The EP Collection ...

Dino Saluzzi: El Viejo Caminante

Read "El Viejo Caminante" reviewed by Doug Collette


El Viejo Caminante is a natural and logical extension of Dino Saluzzi's Albores (ECM, 2020). On that solo album, the bandleader used his instrument (the bandoneon--an accordion-like instrument with origins in Germany) to mesmerize and during this companion piece/sequel, Saluzzi's interplay with his two bandmates is comparably hypnotizing. As such, the album belies the ...

Rodney Crowell: Airline Highway

Read "Airline Highway" reviewed by Doug Collette


The best entries in Rodney Crowell's twenty-plus entry discography emphasize simplicity in material, musicianship and production. As such, Airline Highway has much in common with But What Will the Neighbors Think (Warner Bros., 1980) and The Chicago Sessions (New West, 2023). Unlike (too) many contemporary country artists, Crowell does not affect a pose. Instead, ...

The Who: Live At The Oval 1971

Read "Live At The Oval 1971" reviewed by Doug Collette


The Who were at the peak of their performing powers by the time they embarked upon an extensive touring schedule in 1971. Having honed their chemistry as a performing unit during the nearly two years of performing Tommy (Decca, 1969), the quartet had relegated equipment smashing to an occasional sidelight. And, having distilled guitarist/composer ...

Miguel Zenon: Vanguardia Subterránea: Live at The Village Vanguard

Read "Vanguardia Subterránea: Live at The Village Vanguard" reviewed by Doug Collette


Suffused with shadows as is the cover photo of Vanguardia Subterranea, it is a perfectly appropriate match for the title of the Miguel Zenon Quartet's first live album. Released in celebration of the ensemble's 20th anniversary, both the image and the music favorably hearken to the displays of healthy improvisational jazz behind graphic designs for vintage ...
