Miguel Zenón Jibaro Marsalis Music 2005 There's an understated intricacy at work here that is a pleasure to behold. A tension-release dynamic allows and insists the musicians work together to make the changes in the compositions, then play freely in turn. Each member of the ensemble shines in ...
John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers: Road Dogs
by Doug Collette
During the course of his forty-year career, John Mayall has endured some fallow periods, but the British-born bluesman put himself into a creative stride when he renamed his band the Bluesbreakers back in 1984. Using the name which had gained such fame when including Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor, and John McVie, among others, this seemingly cosmetic ...
Nothing But The Blues: Johnny Winter and Muddy Waters
by Doug Collette
Johnny Winter Johnny Winter Sony 1969/2004 In the late Sixties and early Seventies, Johnny Winter vied for the pinnacle of guitar heroism with the legendary likes of Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix. In retrospect, it's not just his own technical expertise or his inspired loyalty to ...

The Jazz Mandolin Project: The Deep Forbidden Lake
by Doug Collette
The Deep Forbidden Lake is not by any means a return to roots for the Jazz Mandolin Project, since Jamie Masefield's very first albums under the JMP moniker were with three-man lineups including drums. This new effort is rather a distillation of his ideas, a sort of folk-chamber music in which he, bassist Greg Cohen, and ...
Los Lobos: Live at the Fillmore
by Doug Collette
Fans of Los Lobos and rock in general should applaud the release of Live at the Fillmore. But don't turn to the compact disc package thinking it's a companion piece to the DVD of the same name released last fall: it does not contain all of what was on the DVD and then some--only a portion ...
Benevento/Russo Duo: Best Reason to Buy the Sun
by Doug Collette
With their Ropeadope debut Marco Benevento and Joe Russo deliver a resounding sucker punch to listeners old and new alike. By bunching staples from live shows at the beginning of Best Reason to Buy the Sun (perhaps alienating confirmed aficionados), the Duo then heads into realms decidedly different along more conventional jazz lines. “Becky" and “Vortex ...

by Doug Collette
The Allman Brothers Band The Beacon Theatre New York City March 2005 It's a special pleasure to see The Allman Brothers Band more than one night for a number of reasons. If you're a fan, you can't get enough of the Brothers pure and simple. If you're new to the ...
The Coalition: Naked Movies
by Doug Collette
Prurient implications of its title aside, Naked Movies hearkens back to the halcyon days of jazz-rock fusion minus the pretentious trappings and over-reliance on technique in place of feeling. The Coalition have chops to be sure, but instead of erecting structure within which to show off--either in the funk format or neo-classical archetypes--they prefer to play ...
