The Doors: Live In Bakersfield August 21, 1970 (2CD)
by Doug Collette
The somewhat checkered history of archival exhumations from the vault of the Doors would no doubt preclude thinking that Live at the Matrix 1967: The Complete Masters (Rhino, 2023) would constitute anything like a 'be all and end all' of such efforts. Still, to see Live in Bakersfield August 21, 1970 issued in such ...
GA-20 at Higher Ground Showcase Lounge
by Doug Collette
GA-20 Higher Ground Showcase Lounge South Burlington, Vermont December 10, 2023 Entering Higher Ground on the way to its Showcase Lounge, it was impossible not to think of Elmore James' blues classic “The Sky Is Crying." A relentless if not torrential rain that began mid-afternoon may have kept away some ...
Cat Power: Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert
by Doug Collette
There have been some splendid tributes to Bob Dylan and his singular songcraft in recent years, specifically Bettye LaVette's Things Have Changed (Verve, 2018) and Chrissie Hynde's Standing in the Doorway (BMG, 2021). But, stirring as both of those are, neither is as ambitious or eccentric as Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall ...
Candice Ivory: When The Levee Breaks: The Music Of Memphis Minnie
by Doug Collette
Candice Ivory is more than a little ambitious to conceive and execute an album comprised wholly of material by blues icon Memphis Minnie. But to her credit, she has been quite resourceful in enlisting some formidable resources in the effort: guitarist/bassist Charlie Hunter serves as a player and the album producer, the latter role he also ...
Satoko Fujii: Hibiki
by Doug Collette
Expanding upon the Futari duo concept of pianist/composer Satoko Fujii and vibraphonist Taiko Saito, as depicted on Underground (Libra Records, 2021) and Beyond (Libra Records, 2021), Trio SAN incorporates drummer/composer Yuko Oshima, the album of whose, Hibiki, is a proportionately intense companion piece to the aforementioned pair of releases. As if simultaneously beckoning the ...
Oz Noy: Triple Play
by Doug Collette
In the parlance of baseball, the triple play is one of the rarest occurrences in the game, a fielding opportunity relying as much on practice as experience. So it is altogether fitting that guitarist Oz Noy, drummer Dennis Chambers and bassist Jimmy Haslip title their live outing after this most unusual gambit; the trio's combined history ...
Scary Goldings and The Adam Deitch Quartet: Funky But Chic
by Doug Collette
Having learned to find and make a place for himself in the bands of George Duke and Miles Davis, John Scofield has gone on to perform similar magic with artists as disparate as Medeski Martin & Wood and Phil Lesh & Friends. His latest affiliations once again find the guitarist/composer displaying his uncanny ability to sublimate ...
Jackson Browne: Jackson Browne (2023 Remaster)
by Doug Collette
It was only a matter of time until Jackson Browne turned his attention to an archival endeavor devoted to his self-titled debut album. Having plumbed the vault for his masterwork, Late For The Sky (Inside Recordings, 2014), then a re-release of his most commercially-successful record, Running On Empty (Inside Recordings, 2019) five years later, he may ...
Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon: 50th Anniversary Remaster (CD)
by Doug Collette
Following by roughly seven months the release of a mammoth box set issued in recognition of the 50th anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, the standalone (CD, vinyl and Blu-ray) remasters of the iconic group's eighth studio album are testament to the loyalty of the fanbase (not to mention the mercenary ...

Joanne Shaw Taylor Flynn Center for the Performing Arts Burlington, Vermont November 16, 2023 Around the mid-point of Joanne Shaw Taylor's near two-hour single set on the main stage of the Flynn Center, she and her hirsute band of musicianly brothers spent almost ten minutes working up a head of steam ...
