Jerome Sabbagh: Purity Of Intent
by Doug Collette
The extent to which a musician expends effort to develop his own voice usually correlates to the depth of expression that eventually emanates from the personal style thereof. So it is with saxophonist/composer/bandleader Jerome Sabbagh who, in the years he has spent nurturing his profile in the New York City jazz world, has concentrated on learning ...
Mud Morganfield, Duwayne Burnside and Candice Ivory: Blues Triad
by Doug Collette
Posers abound around the contemporary blues universe, but none of these three is among them. On the contrary, Mud Morganfield, Duwayne Burnside and Candice Ivory all transcend cliche in their work, doing the tradition proud in his/her own distinct fashion. As a direct descendant of a blues icon Muddy Waters, Morganfield carries the heaviest load, but ...
John Scofield/Dave Holland: Memories Of Home
by Doug Collette
It should come as no surprise that guitarist John Scofield and bassist Dave Holland sound so simpatico on Memories Of Home. The two veteran musicians have traveled in similar and familiar circles over the course(s) of their decades-long careers. As the duo selectively recalls touchpoints of their history with their choices of material here, they implicitly ...
Seth Yacovone Band: SYBlings, Vol. 2
by Doug Collette
The second of a pair of 2025 releases, SYBlings, Vol. 2 is not exactly a sequel to its predecessor. Rather, it is a series of themes instrumental and lyrical that stands on its own terms. More importantly, while it is not innovative by any means, it is quite likely the best rock album guitarist-composer and Vermont ...
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones: Jingle All The Way
by Doug Collette
Originally released in 2008 on Rounder Records, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones' Jingle All The Way is an accurate microcosm of the deceptive whimsy the group displays on stage during the best moments of their live performances. Its uplifting effect is all the more pronounced as this is a collection of holiday-related music. This ...
Charles Lloyd and Steve Tibbetts: Inner Directed and Independent
by Doug Collette
Perhaps not surprisingly, independent thinkers are invariably self-motivated and both those virtues apply to saxophonist Charles Lloyd and guitarist Steve Tibbetts. But while the former has roamed far and wide in a series of musical adventures involving the disparate likes of Keith Jarrett and the Beach Boys, the latter has chosen to go deep rather than ...

Faces: Early Steps
by Doug Collette
Released somewhat under the radar in the fall of 2025, Early Steps is the missing link in the chain of archiving projects within the vault of the now-defunct British band Faces. Its content discovered by late band member Ian McLagan while researching the essential box set Five Guys Walk Into A ...
Neil Young: Tonight's The Night 50th Anniversary Deluxe
by Doug Collette
Given the checkered history behind Neil Young's Tonight's The Night (Reprise, 1975), the 50th Anniversary Deluxe might well have been issued as a multi-disc package. An expanded collection of this third entry in 'the Ditch Trilogy'--along with Time Fades Away (Reprise, 1973) and On The Beach (Reprise, 1974)-- would accommodate the original recordings of 1973, the ...
