John Mayall: Tough

Read "Tough" reviewed by Doug Collette


John Mayall looks alternately dignified and defiant in the photos that adorn Tough. The music, however, is permeated with a consistent resolve. Displaying his usual emotionalism, the Godfather of British Blues offers an album largely comprised of covers recorded with an almost entirely new band. The wisdom of his concept(s) becomes apparent on the very first ...

Return to Forever: Returns

Read "Returns" reviewed by Doug Collette


The reunion of jazz-rock fusion pioneer Return to Forever was a much-ballyhooed event before, during and after it took place in 2008. As captured on the double-CD Returns, it's easy to see why it attracted old school fusion fans plus prog music aficionados of all ages. In purely technical terms it is a tour de force. ...

Return to Forever: Returns

Read "Returns" reviewed by John Kelman


Seventies fusion supergroup Return to Forever's reunion and 2008 world tour was one of the year's biggest jazz events. At performances including its Ottawa International Jazz Festival show, the group did more than give a bunch of grays and no-hairs a chance to relive their youth. With a combination of prerequisite testosterone ("This is a man's ...

Yes: Symphonic Live

Read "Symphonic Live" reviewed by John Kelman


Of all the progressive rock groups that emerged in the late '60s to achieve widespread success, surely Yes is the one for which collaborating with a symphony orchestra was meant to be. Working with an orchestra too early on its second album, Time and a Word (Atlantic, 1970), Yes had yet to evolve towards the rock ...

Jeff Beck: Performing This Week... Live at Ronnie Scott's

Read "Performing This Week... Live at Ronnie Scott's" reviewed by John Kelman


Of the trifecta of British “guitar gods" that emerged in the late-'60s--Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page--Beck is the one who, regardless of style, has best embodied the spirit of jazz. His performances are always chancy propositions because he's always been about taking great risks, and they don't always work. Whether or not Beck's shows ...

Yes: Live at Montreux 2003

Read "Live at Montreux 2003" reviewed by John Kelman


While the Montreux Jazz Festival has long been more than just a jazz festival, with both veteran groups Yes and Jethro Tull performing at the 2003 edition, that year could have been re-titled the Montreux Progressive Rock Festival. Yes' set is especially notable as being amongst the best and most inspired live recordings the four decade-old ...

John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers: In the Palace of the King

Read "In the Palace of the King" reviewed by Doug Collette


Ostensibly a tribute to the late Freddie King, this CD also serves admirably as a showcase of John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers themselves. The band displays both versatility and finesse on a combination of covers by the Texas guitarist as well as two originals. Meanwhile their front man exhibits his usual authority as a band leader, ...
