Steve Vai: Alive in an Ultra World
by Todd S. Jenkins
Just maybe, the best set yet from the master of cultivated shred. On his 2000 world tour Vai recorded these fifteen songs, each inspired by and dedicated to a different nation he has visited sometime in his career. Some of the excellent tunes were created spontaneously at soundchecks just prior to the shows, and it’s a ...
Jaco Pastorius: Jaco Pastorius
by John W. Patterson
Here we have a remastered, re-release by one of the masters of jazz bass. Many will rightly argue that as far as electric bass guitar players goes, Jaco was the rightful heir to being the first master and innovator of a style and sound totally unique. For some who listen to this release they might tend ...
The Allman Brothers Band: Peakin' at the Beacon
by C. Michael Bailey
Everything is right...and wrong with the latest Allman Brothers Band release. This is likely to be the last new release of an Allman Brother's recording with founding member Richard Betts in tow.

Steve Vai: The Ultra Zone
by Scott Andrews
Guitarist/composer Steve Vai helped lead the late 80s instrumental metal, “shred" guitar wave with his lead guitar work in several metal bands and his second solo album Passion and Warfare (1990). However, Vai's roots ran musically deeper than most of his instrumental metal colleagues, partly due to his stint in Frank Zappa's band and his idiosyncratic ...
Pearl Jam: Binaural
by Rob Evanoff
Is Pearl Jam a Jamband? They always have been. They were mis-labeled grunge because they were, in some ways, in the right place at the right AND wrong time, which put the band on a oft-times deserving course of superstardom but which they have consciously steered away from. And exactly what happens to the voice of ...
