The Jazz Mandolin Project at Higher Ground
by Doug Collette
There may be no more distinctive jazz-fusion band than Jazz Mandolin Project. Jamie Masefield’s use of the mandolin guarantees surprises, but even seeing him and his band in the past would not prepare you for the extended sets they delivered in the Winooski Vermont club this February night. It’s probably appropriate that the band really took ...

Robert Randolph and The Family Band in Burlington Vermont
by Doug Collette
If Robert Randolph wasn't such a natural musician and performer, his effervescence on stage would come off contrived and he'd fall flat. But if that were the case, he would not have been able to pick up and shake the audience at Memorial Auditorium the way he did this mid-winter night. Cutting his teeth as a ...

The Vorcza Trio In Burlington Vermont
by Doug Collette

The Allman Brothers Band in Concert: Beacon Theatre 2003
by Doug Collette
A Fan's View & A Critic's View Sitting in the Beacon Theatre on my birthday 2003, I had no idea the rock and roll epiphany I was about to experience. This band I had listened to for upwards of 30 years was about to remind me why I learned to love hearing them play and continued ...
The Allman Brothers Band at the Beacon Theatre: Preview 2004
by Doug Collette
The Allman Brothers have always been fearless and throughout their 35 plus year career it has both blessed them and cursed them. The same courage that lent itself to the exploration of a marriage of blues, rock and jazz also caused, at least in part, the deaths of two founding members of the band. The resolute ...
