Dennis Coffey: Hot Coffey in the D – Burnin' at Morey Baker’s Showplace Lounge

Club d'Elf: Live at Club Helsinki
by Doug Collette
It's not really necessary to be a dervish dancer to appreciate Club d'Elf, especially because, on Live at Club Helsinki, the prominence of varied sounds from Duke Levine's electric guitars, combined with the keyboard wizardry of John Medeski, is enough to capture and hold the attention of (almost) any contemporary music-lover.

The Seth Yacovone Band: Shovel Down
by Doug Collette
Vintage hard rock with heavy metal overtones that should appeal as much to fans of the original Gov't Mule as those of early Black Sabbath, the initial studio album by The Seth Yacovone Band 2.0., Shovel Down is the initial and fairly lofty plateau in a judicious plan by the bandleader to remain as independent as ...
Holly Bowling: Better Left Unsung
by Doug Collette
