John McLaughlin/Jaco Pastorius/Tony Williams: Trio of Doom
by Doug Collette
Trio of Doom was eminently qualified as a supergroup at the time of their formation. In 1969, drummer Tony Williams formed the prototype of jazz-rock fusion groups with his trio, Lifetime. Having entered and exited those ranks, guitarist John McLaughlin had gone on to form The Mahavishnu Orchestra, thus taking the mainstream acceptance of such music ...
Grateful Dead: Three From The Vault
by Doug Collette
A multi-track recording fully mastered and shelved for nigh on thirty years, Grateful Dead's Three From the Vault marks the beginning of a significant period in the San Francisco rock band's musical progression. Plus, it effectively picks up where the initial effort to archive the band left off over a quarter-century ago. The recording marks two ...
The Greyboy AllStars: What Happened to Television?
by Doug Collette
Having formed almost fifteen years ago in 1993, The Greyboy AllStars are an urban myth of sorts. Their early forays into funk flowed throughout the jamband scene that coalesced in the mid-to-late 1990s, which is where the principals of the quintet found a name for themselves. Now hornman Karl Denson (leader of Tiny Universe) and keyboardist ...
Burlington Vermont Discover Jazz 2007: Beside The Joyous Lake
by Doug Collette
Discover Jazz 2007 Burlington, Vermont June 1-9, 2007 Happening relatively soon after the great event in New Orleans each spring, Burlington Vermont's Discover Jazz has the distinction of being one of the first festivals of the season that extends throughout the United States and Europe during the summer season. ...
Wilco: Sky Blue Sky
by Doug Collette
Wilco's Sky Blue Sky belies the stark black and white of its graphics. It's music of pastels, seemingly designed to lull the listener into a false sense of security. Consider the fact it was recorded with the lineup of the band including guitarist extraordinaire Nels Cline, who brought so much expansive texture to the sextet's tours ...
Page McConnell: From Studio(s) to Stage(s)
by Doug Collette
Like the CD that bears his name, Page McConnell is deceptively ambitious. As member of the definitive jamband Phish for over twenty years, the Philadelphia native played an integral yet understated role in how the Vermont-based quartet defined itself and its music. Ultimately taking a background role, the sounds of McConnell's keyboards--whether grand piano, ...
John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers: In the Palace of the King
by Doug Collette
Ostensibly a tribute to the late Freddie King, this CD also serves admirably as a showcase of John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers themselves. The band displays both versatility and finesse on a combination of covers by the Texas guitarist as well as two originals. Meanwhile their front man exhibits his usual authority as a band leader, ...
Gov't Mule: Live At Roseland Ballroom
by Doug Collette
The previously long out-of-print Live at Roseland Ballroom stands as a template for Gov't' Mule past and present and for the foreseeable future. Most of the material included on this welcome reissue was a means to the end of lengthy improvisations, but also remains an integral part of the group's repertoire even today, with the group ...
MaMaVig: MaMaVig
by Doug Collette
Over the course of the past year, as Jamie Masefield's Jazz Mandolin Project has moved further into the realm of multi-media, the Vermonter has steadily developed the band known as MaMaVig. This new trio is a collaboration of both proficiency and passion. All three individuals have chops and pedigree. Ensemble playing rules here, as this trio ...
Billy Martin / John Medeski: Mago
by Doug Collette
One of the primary virtues of the Medeski, Martin and Wood partnership is the fluid means by which they conduct side projects as smoothly as they interact when they play together. Billy Martin's live percussion workshops may be less farther afield than keyboardist John Medeski's production of sacred steel band The Campbell Brothers, but they are ...
