Grateful Dead Road Trips - Volume 2 Number 1 Grateful Dead/Rhino 2008 Even before listening to the music, owners of the latest instalment of the Grateful Dead's archive series Road Trips, now inaugurating its second volume with a September 1990 show from Madison Square Garden, might do well to read ...
Various Artists: Hommage A Nesuhi
by Eugene Holley, Jr.
Various Artists Hommage A Nesuhi Rhino Handmade 2009 Of the various and sundry individuals involved in the making of a record, the producer is the most mysterious and ambiguous presence of them all. Many ill-equipped but ambitious people--including hangers-on, frustrated musicians, over-reaching critics, and record executive accountants--have attempted ...
Life's Backward Glances - Solo and Quartet
by John Kelman
With an inestimable career largely spent in the service of interpreting the material of others, it's easy to forget pianist Steve Kuhn's equally valuable contributions as a composer. That he's turned almost exclusively to the venerable ECM label when either the spirit moves him to focus once again on his own writing, or when the label's ...
The 40th Anniversary Henry Cow Box Set
by John Kelman
While modern recording technology and fast improving online distribution capability are making it easier to appreciate the full extent of today's artists' work, the same cannot be said about relatively short-lived groups from the 1970s.

Grateful Dead: Rocking The Cradle - Egypt 1978
by Doug Collette
Grateful Dead Rocking The Cradle - Egypt 1978 Grateful Dead/Rhino 2008 If there was ever a Grateful Dead adventure that deserved assiduous archiving, it has to be their 1978 journey to Egypt, when they gave three concerts at the foot of the Great Pyramid. Rocking the Cradle - Egypt 1978, ...

These Atlanta 1993 shows represent the first extended run for the Vermont-based group, as Phish's popularity had not reached its flashpoint ...

Grachan Moncur 111 Evolution Blue Note 2008 Originally released in 1963, Evolution was the leader debut of trombonist and composer Grachan Moncur III, who had previously worked with tenor saxophonist Benny Golson's Jazztet, and was the regular “cool" foil for brimming-hot Jackie McLean in the alto saxophonist's quintet. ...

J.R. Monterose J.R. Monterose Blue Note 2008 Tenor saxophonist J.R. Monterose (Frank Anthony Monterose, Jr.) made only two appearances on Blue Note, both in 1956--one with trumpeter Kenny Dorham's Jazz Prophets recorded live at the Café Bohemia and the other as a leader of his own crack hard ...

Anthony Braxton Quartet (Moscow) 2008 Leo Records 2008 These are not easy times for casual followers of reed player Anthony Braxton. New releases of his music, many of them multiple disc sets, continue to arrive at an alarming (and ruinous) rate. In addition, Braxton continues to add new ...
