Marco Benevento: Invisible Baby
by Doug Collette
Marco Benevento's often intoxicating Invisible Baby has wide appeal for fans of the keyboardist/composer's work with Joe Russo in The Duo as well as those unfamiliar with his previous solo work. It may even beckon the hard-core jazz fan who's open to suggestion without preconception. Based on his Live at Tonic triple set last year, it ...
Mofro: Early Archives
by Doug Collette
Grassroots support is arguably the best kind of recognition an artist can receive. Nurtured carefully, it grows with the artist as he or she achieves a higher profile, and interest grows in their back catalogue. So it is with blues/gospel/funk hybrid band Mofro, whose Country Ghetto (Alligator Records, 2007) elevated their popularity a significant notch or ...
Matt Wright, Jennifer Hartswick and Dave Keller: Music from the Green Mountains
by Doug Collette
Vermont possessed a vibrant music scene long before it nurtured Phish, and the state's musical community continues to thrive in the wake of the definitive jamband's demise. Recent releases from the Green Mountains document how the jazz and blues roots of American music extend even to the far Northeast corner of the US. ...
Pat Metheny: Day Trip
by Doug Collette
Pat Metheny has not recorded with a trio for upwards of eight years, but Day Trip certainly makes the wait worth it. The simplicity of its approach will, no doubt, appeal to those fans of the guitarist who relish his primary virtues as an improvising instrumentalist. But it will no doubt foster revelations in Pat Metheny ...
The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live at Monterey
by Doug Collette
The Jimi Hendrix Experience Live at Monterey UME 2007 The cover photo of this elaborate colorful package, an image of Hendrix lighting up his guitar at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, is more than evocative of an inflammatory musician famous for torching his guitars. It's also representative ...

Unbroken Chain: Revisiting The Grateful Dead at UMass
by Doug Collette
Unbroken Chain: The Grateful Dead in Music, Culture and Memory University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA November 16-18, 2007 Attending this three-day event might not have wholly transformed a skeptic's view of the Grateful Dead, their music and their culture, but it would have provided abundant insight into the ...
Stevie Ray Vaughan: Solos Sessions and Encores
by Doug Collette
Guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan's presence as a musician is so commanding it's hard to imagine him so readily assuming the role of studio sideman or sharing the stage as he does on the fourteen tracks that comprise this CD. But it was his very love to play that allowed him to collaborate with virtually as much ...
Groundtruther: Groundtruther: Altitude
by Doug Collette
The third and final installment in the Groundtruther trilogy may also be the most highly anticipated, since the inclusion of John Medeski in the Charlie Hunter/Bobby Previte axis would seem to be a highly combustible mix. Yet Altitude, rather than the resounding finish to the project, is something of a mixed bag, perhaps more so than ...
Gov't Mule: Gov't Mule: Mighty High
by Doug Collette
Hearing a Gov't Mule reggae album is no big surprise if you've seen the band with any regularity over the years. Interpretations and teases of Bob Marley songs sprinkle their set lists; nouveau reggae icons Spearhead with Michael Franti have been co-billed with the group frequently; and Warren Haynes' signature song, “Soulshine, has been arranged for ...
