Groovemeisters: Dennis Coffey and Barry Goldberg
by Doug Collette
Any musiclover worth his or her salt will testify to the fact that some of the best instrumentalists are the greatest unsung heroes.

BANG! The Bert Berns Story
by Doug Collette
BANG! The Bert Berns Story Abramorama 2018 BANG! The Bert Berns Story compares favorably to The Terry Kath Experience (FilmRise, 2017), not just in the elevated quality of its conception and execution, but in its authorship by an offspring of the subject. Just as the Chicago guitarist's daughter, Michelle Sinclair, helmed the ...
Eric Clapton: Life In 12 Bars: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
by Doug Collette
There's no scarcity of anthologies devoted to the span of Eric Clapton's work throughout his career, so there's a danger the soundtrack to Lili Fini Zanuck's documentary, Life in 12 Bars, will immediately seem redundant.

Gene Clark sings For You and A Trip Through The Rose Garden
by Doug Collette
The legacy of the Byrds looms large in the annals of contemporary rock, ever increasingly so as it pertains to the late Gene Clark.

Anat Cohen - Fred Hersch: Live In Healdsburg
by Doug Collette
Equally distinctive as they are, the respective instrumental styles of pianist Fred Hersch and clarinetist Anat Cohen are almost mirror images of each other. That is, the former is generally a formal, dignified presence on his instrument, yet he has a readily discernible playful side that comes out at regular intervals. The latter, on the other ...
