Eric Johnson: EJ: Song Explorations on Acoustic Guitar and Piano
by Doug Collette
The very announcement of a (largely) solo acoustic album from Eric Johnson is enough to startle fans of the Texas bluesman as well as those who know him only by name and a little of his tenure as a contemporary guitar hero. Hearing EJ: Song Explorations on Acoustic Guitar and Piano will no doubt dazzle those ...
Colin Cannon: Intermission
by Dave Wayne
Thank heavens Colin Cannon divided Intermission (Farewell) into three parts because there's so much going on in this recording that it'd almost impossible to review otherwise.

Two and a half years have passed since Twisted ...
Oz Noy: Twisted Blues Volume 2
by Ian Patterson
Two and a half years on from Twisted Blues Volume 1, guitar ace Oz Noy returns with another incendiary serving of jazz-inflected blues.

As ...
Oz Noy

As a top session guitarist in his native Israel, Oz Noy was at home playing jazz, blues, funk, and rock. Since emmigrating to the United States in 1996 he has been based in New York City where he has become a regular fixture on the local jazz scene, including his standing gig at the Bitter End. ...
Tohpati Bertiga: Riot
by Dave Wayne
Get used to thinking of Southeast Asia as the new hotbed of fascinating and original guitar players.
