Meeting of the Minds and Sounds: The Clarinet and The Oud
by Doug Collette
The clarinet is hardly as an exotic instrument as the oud, but both instruments have their places in modern jazz and it's always fascinating to hear how each sounds within those contexts they're placed. As a point of comparison, the music on these two releases is at once haunting and comforting, mesmerizing and intoxicating, ultimately luring ...
Huntertones: Passport
by Doug Collette
Huntertones' Passport is an absolutely seamless piece of work. The integration of the material with the playing and, by extension, the arranging and recording, becomes evident in the first minutes of “Clutch" and remains pervasive for the duration of this, the group's third album. Even so, there are readily-discernible dynamics at work here. The ...

Eagles: Legacy
by Doug Collette
Sometimes a gift box is just a gift box and that's certainly true of Eagles' Legacy.

But then, there's never been one, at least in any format similar to this: Selected Works (Elektra, 2000) comes close, ...
Doug Collette's Best Releases of 2018
by Doug Collette
It wasn't hard in the least to compile a 'Best of...' list for 2018. The titles were self-evident as they rolled out, with almost clockwork regularity, over the course of the twelve months, ultimately comprising what I kept going back to most often during the year, enjoying each one more (and in a slightly different way) ...
