The Rolling Stones: Exile on Main Street
by Doug Collette
A magnificent spontaneity permeates The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street, so much so that it resists dissection by expansion of its various repackages. The remastered album, in its original eighteen-track form, reaffirms the bedrock strengths of a work that as a whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. For instance, it's not ...
Free: Free Forever
by Doug Collette
Free Free Forever Eagle Vision 2010 (2006) Free was one of the most distinctive bands to emerge from the British blues-rock boom of the late 1960s, albeit a one-hit wonder to the audience that enjoyed its biggest mainstream success, “All Right Now." The full-length version of that single appeared on ...
Jackson Browne / David Lindley: Love Is Strange
by Doug Collette
Jackson Browne and David Lindley's Love Is Strange isn't merely a clever reworking of familiar material. On the contrary, it is brilliantly conceived and executed reinterpretation of songs in which the principals and their comrades display as much respect for each other as musicians as they do the extraordinary compositions themselves. Recorded over five nights of ...
Brad Mehldau & Joshua Redman Live at The Flynn Center
by Doug Collette
Brad Mehldau & Joshua Redman Flynn Center for The Performing Arts Burlington, VT April 28, 2010 Brad Mehldau is such a commanding presence as a musician, he overshadowed saxophonist Joshua Redman virtually throughout the duo's ninety-minute performance on Vermont's Flynn Performing Arts Center MainStage on April 28th. The most intense ...
Grateful Dead: Crimson, White & Indigo - Philadelphia, July 7, 1989
by Doug Collette
Grateful Dead Crimson, White & Indigo: Philadelphia, July 7, 1989 Rhino 2010 Designed as if to represent a microcosm of its unique style of improvisation, Grateful Dead's Crimson White & Indigo, July 7, 1989 is a worthy companion piece to its predecessor--Truckin' Up to Buffalo: July 4, 1989 (Monterey Video, ...
Peter Frampton: Thank You Mr. Churchill
by Doug Collette
Thank You Mr Churchill is Peter Frampton's latest attempt to reconcile fame with artistic integrity, a campaign he's been waging much of his career. Looking to escape his teen idol status in The Herd by partnering with Steve Marriott in the quasi-super group Humble Pie, he departed their ranks when growing fame relied too heavily on ...
Stanton Moore: Groove Alchemy
by Doug Collette
Groove Alchemy is not only the perfect title for Stanton Moore's album, it effectively sums up the unique means by which he makes music. The rhythm he conjures up morphs into melody then back again in such as remarkable natural fashion, it almost (but not quite) defies description. It's voodoo of some kind the ...
John Ellis & Double Wide: Puppet Mischief
by Doug Collette
Saxophonist John Ellis is slowly but surely distinguishing himself as a notably singular figure in contemporary jazz. Establishing a firm foundation for himself as a tenured accompanist to 7-string guitarist Charlie Hunter, the North Carolina native and current resident of Brooklyn embarked on his solo career in authoritative style with One Foot in the Swamp (Hyena, ...
David Hidalgo & Louie Perez: The Long Goodbye
by Doug Collette
The creative impulse that David Hidalgo and Louie Perez bring to Los Lobos might well be camouflaged within the collective efforts of the band that produces such memorable work as Kiko (Slash/Warner Bros, 1992) and The Town and The City (Hollywood, 2006), but this collection of easygoing, informal recordings by the pair illuminate just how they ...
Jeff Beck: Emotion & Commotion
by Doug Collette
Jeff Beck's Emotion & Commotion is designed to nurture the guitarist's growing visibility of the last ten years, and may well serve that purpose, even if it only scratches the surface of his genius. The presence of orchestration on many of these tracks is admirable for its ambition, but is not a novel concept ...
