Ronnie Wood: Fearless: The Anthology 1965-2025
by Doug Collette
If the Ronnie Wood anthology Fearless proves anything, it is that the predominant virtues of the peripatetic British musician are largely intangible. Not that the guitarist, songwriter and singer is not talented in those various roles, but that his most salient attributes, at least as depicted here, as those of a convivial individual who invariably contributes ...
At The Deer Head Inn: The Complete Recordings
by Joshua Weiner
Pianist Keith Jarrett is the only artist with his own subheading on the main menu of ECM Records' new US website. That attests to his fruitful association, beginning in 1971 and continuing to the present day, with the independent German label known for its dedication to artistic freedom and beautiful sound. Though a series of strokes ...
Shakti: Mind Explosion
by Ian Patterson
This is the end--the final recording from arguably the greatest of genre-busting bands. A celebration, not only of Shakti's 50th anniversary tour in 2023 but of an entire career--one that began in 1973, when John McLaughlin and Ustad Zakir Hussain first jammed in New York's Greenwich Village. By embracing Indian Carnatic and Hindustani traditions--fused with McLaughlin's ...
Robin Trower: Bridge Of Sighs: 50th Anniversary Edition
by Doug Collette
Upon Robin Trower's departure from Procol Harum in 1971, he initiated his solo career with Twice Removed From Yesterday (Chrysalis, 1973). It was an understated debut to be sure, the entire first side virtually a suite of dream-like tracks such as the fervent “I Can't Wait Much Longer." The guitarist's debt to Jimi Hendrix was only ...
Gene Clark & Carla Olson: So Rebellious A Lover
by Doug Collette
At first glance, it may be hard to tell the difference between the two Sunset Blvd. CD packages of Gene Clark & Carla Olson's So Rebellious A Lover. Close inspection reveals the 2025 edition is issued in the digi-pak format and contains an ever-so-slightly different set of bonus tracks than its predecessor (the colored vinyl set ...
John Hammond Jr.: Bear's Sonic Journals: You're Doin' Fine - Blues at the Boarding House, June 2 & 3, 1973 (3CD)
by Doug Collette
John Hammond Jr. was perhaps the first white musician to gain some measure of recognition for his devotion to the blues. The offspring of the famed Columbia Records mogul never relied on his name or rested on his laurels. On the contrary, the son of the man who signed Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen ...
Sun Ra: Lights on a Satellite: Live At The left Bank
by Ian Patterson
Sun Ra aficionados seem to possess an insatiable appetite for archival recordings of the ever-evolving ensembles of the pianist, composer and bandleader. Born Helman Poole Blount, in Alabama, in 1914, Ra released possibly as many as 200 albums during his lifetime, including extremely limited pressings with hand-painted covers that he sold in person. You might think ...
Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens: American Railroad: A Musical Journey of Reclamation
by Katchie Cartwright
Rhiannon Giddens is not afraid of big projects. American Railroad, the album, is part of a larger work, subtitled A Musical Journey of Reclamation, which Giddens initiated with the widely acclaimed Silkroad Ensemble, a diverse international collective of performers, improvisers and composers created by Yo Yo Ma. American Railroad digs into the building of America's transcontinental ...
Mateusz Smoczyński: Adam's Apple
by Ian Patterson
Polish violinist Mateusz Smoczyński has long slipped effortlessly between the worlds of jazz and classical music, flitting between his own small jazz combos and contemporary string ensembles. Albums such as Confetti Man (Azica records, 2014) with The Turtle Island Quartet, Penderecki (Universal Music Poland, 2019) with Atom String Quartet, and the duo albums Speaking Sound (ACT ...
The Duke Ellington Carnegie Hall Concerts: January 1943
by Chuck Lenatti
Duke Ellington was one of the most popular and successful jazz musicians of the first half of the 20th century and according to composer Gunther Schuller and musicologist and historian Barry Kernfeld, “the most significant composer of the genre." Radio broadcasts from his residency at New York's Cotton Club beginning in 1927 extended Ellington's ...
