Vorcza at Nectar's
by Doug Collette
Vorcza Nectar's Burlington, VT January 13, 2018 Vorcza brought its earthy elegance to Nectar's early this new year in what hopefully constitutes a harbinger of more frequent appearances to come in 2018. The stage once inhabited so regularly by Phish can seem uncomfortably cramped for some bands, but from a particular ...
Paul Collins' Beat: Long Time Gone/To Beat Or Not To Beat
by Doug Collette
The snapshot quality in the b&w cover photo of Long Time Gone/To Beat Or Not To Beat by Paul Collins' Beat is hardly a visual corollary to the immediacy of the music. Nor does it correspond to the clarity in the prose the bandleader composed for the CD combining these two EP's recorded in the early ...
Saxophone Colossus Featuring Sonny Rollins: A Film By Robert Mugge
by Doug Collette
Sonny Rollins Saxophone Colossus MVD Visual 2017 Sonny Rollins' life and career is the stuff of legend, not the least of which intervals include the period he 'retired' to perfect his craft with practice sessions on 'The Bridge' in New York or his numerous influential pieces of recording, including the ...
Albert Castiglia: Up All Night
by Doug Collette
Make no mistake, the ambiguity in the title of bluesman guitarist/composer Albert Castilglia's seventh album, Up All Night, is a positive attribute. Because as much as he trades in the tried and true of the blues, as on the rough-and-tumble, “Hoodoo On Me," he manages to imprint a personal stamp on what he does.On ...

Rock Candy: Montrose (eponymous) & Paper Money
by Doug Collette
The late Ronnie Montrose was a guitar hero for our times if there ever was one. An uncommon combination of skills in which he fused as much finesse as power enabled him to assume him a wide-ranging series of sideman gigs and solo projects, the dual results of which were, unfortunately, inextricably intertwined: he was impossible ...
Solo: Reflections and Meditations on Monk & Najwa
by Doug Collette
Wadada Leo Smith's most recently recorded albums reaffirm this trumpeter/composer/bandleader's deep, abiding loyalty to his muse. Equally so on stage or in the studio, Smith's devotion to the creative impulse is absolutely unwavering, and, as a result, his works are pure, direct expressions of his concepts, undiluted by compromise. Such is the uniformity of his execution ...
Robinson Morse's Sound of Mind Featuring Peter Apfelbaum at FlynnSpace
by Doug Collette
Robinson Morse's Sound of Mind Featuring Peter Apfelbaum FlynnSpace Burlington, Vermont December 16, 2017 In a focused performance comparable to that which his Green Mountain jazz peer, saxophonist/composer Brian McCarthy, offered just two weeks prior, bassist/composer Robinson Morse authoritatively led his Sound of Mind ensemble through a vigorous seventy-five minute ...
The Original Delaney & Bonnie (Accept No Substitute) and To Bonnie From Delaney
by Doug Collette
Delaney & Bonnie's best work functions as a primer on contemporary rock and roll, not to mention how the pair functioned as a catalyst to what's arguably the most prolific and productive instances of musical community that arose from the late Sixties and early Seventies. And even if the following two selections are the sole titles ...
Eagles: Hotel California: 40th Anniversary Expanded Edition
by Doug Collette
Anyone inclined to cast aspersion on the integrity of the Eagles might well avail themselves of the 40th Anniversary Expanded Edition of Hotel California and go straight to the concert content on the second of the two CD's. Roughly forty-five minutes in duration, the ten tracks recorded live at the Los Angeles Forum in ...
