Soulive: Up Here
by Doug Collette
In a very real sense, Up Here is the perfectly appropriate way for Soulive to celebrate a decade together. These jazz funkers have restlessly experimented and modified their three-piece approach in their ten years together, and this debut on their own label is a good summation of what they've done. Soulive doesn't wait long ...
Jorma Kaukonen: River of Time
by Doug Collette
Jorma Kaukonen's revival of his partnership with Jack Casady of Hot Tuna over the last decade has also inspired him as a solo musician. The guitarist/vocalist/composer has produced the Grammy-nominated Blue Country Heart (Columbia, 2002) as well as the splendid Stars in my Crown (Red House, 2007). River of Time is an even more heartfelt and ...
Medeski Martin & Wood: Radiolarians II
by Doug Collette
Notwithstanding the noir ambience of the closing cut, a piano jazz trio reading of “Baby Let Me Follow You Down," Radiolarians II assaults more than it insinuates. As such, the basis of Medeski Martin and Wood's long-term concept--road-testing new original material prior to recording it in the studio--manifests its virtues more readily here than on its ...
Return to Forever: Returns
by Doug Collette
The reunion of jazz-rock fusion pioneer Return to Forever was a much-ballyhooed event before, during and after it took place in 2008. As captured on the double-CD Returns, it's easy to see why it attracted old school fusion fans plus prog music aficionados of all ages. In purely technical terms it is a tour de force. ...
Allman Brothers Band at the Beacon, NYC, March 27, 2009
by Doug Collette
The Allman Brothers Band Beacon Theatre New York, New York March 27th, 2009 The Allman Brothers March 27th show at The Beacon Theater epitomized the band's entire 2009 run at the now gorgeously refurbished off-Broadway theatre. The Dixie rock pioneers played brilliantly most of the time on their own ...
John Scofield: Piety Street
by Doug Collette
John Scofield's Piety Street is an exercise in musicology, but it's also much more than that. Without sacrificing the prominence of his electric guitar playing--just utilizing it from a different perspective--this gospel blues album further demonstrates how he has executed similar fusions, in altogether different contexts, throughout his extensive 36-album career. Just as Scofield doesn't play ...
Phish: The Clifford Ball
by Doug Collette
Phish The Clifford Ball Rhino-Jemp 2009 There may be no more lavish package this year than Phish's The Clifford Ball. Including memorabilia in the form of postcards and stamps through efficiently folded DVD cases with the continuity of the graphics extending from the book of essays and credits ...
The Allman Brothers Band at the Beacon—Forty Years and Counting
by Doug Collette
The Allman Brothers Band's 2009 run at New York City's Beacon Theatre carries more than its usual amount of hot-blooded anticipation. This year is the band's 40th anniversary, impressive enough in itself for any band, perhaps doubly so for one with the cataclysmic history of this group, with its well-documented accounts of personal tragedy and recurrent ...
The Jazz Mandolin Project at Club Metronome
by Doug Collette
The Jazz Mandolin Project Club Metronome Burlington, Vermont February 20, 2009 On the second of just two stops within their northeast home base, The Jazz Mandolin Project, led by Jamie Masefield, played like a finely-tuned unit of musicians who had spent weeks on the road. Noticeable right from ...
Peter Cincotti: Revelations Abound
by Doug Collette
Don't think for one minute Peter Cincotti is just another handsome face combined with a captivating voice. Or merely the latest in a string of mellifluous musicians reaching for a fusion of soul, pop and jazz (though he did attract the attention of Harry Connick Jr. early in his career--forestalling the competition perhaps?).
