Larry Carlton and Steve Lukather: No Substitutions - Live in Osaka
by Scott Andrews
Longtime L.A. studio guitarists and friends Larry Carlton and Steve Lukather lead a quintet rounded out with keyboards, bass, and drums on five instrumental tracks recorded live in Osaka, Japan. No Substitutions opens with the Jeff Beck tune “The Pump," featuring repeated guitar solos over a long, static bass groove of steady eighth notes. After a ...
Frank Gambale: Coming To Your Senses
by John W. Patterson
This is solid, good-n-sassy jazz guitar with a melodic-bent, fusion-driven flow. Gambale is know for his various approaches on his solo albums from smooth melodic jazz, to jazz fusion, to real scorching, shredded rockers and all points in-between. His playing is virtuoso, fully lyrical, phrasings to die for, technical wizardy, sweep picking mastery, speed, grace, and ...
Johnny A.: Sometime Tuesday Morning
by Todd S. Jenkins
A wild, woolly, wonderful lesson in where the guitar has been and where it might be headed. If Johnny A. isn’t familiar to every guitar-head in America within two years, there’s no justice in this world. It’s rare to find a guitarist who has both a profound sense of the instrument’s history and the spunk to ...

by Scott Andrews
Bassist Stu Hamm's credits include several stints supporting flashy guitarists Steve Vai and Joe Satriani with his equally flashy tapping bass chops back in the late 80s. More recently, Hamm appeared in a project band trio with Frank Gambale and Steve Smith on two instrumental, chop-laden fusion records from the Tone Center label, where the trio ...
Chad Wackerman: Scream
by John W. Patterson
First off, Wackerman is one excellent drummer and superb fusion composer. With that out of the way, the next question is, “So how's this CD stack up in comparison with Wackerman's other solid fusion releases?" I can comfortably say, Scream does a great job of measuring up to all those prior efforts overall and continues Wackerman's ...
Robin DiMaggio: Blue Planet
by Todd S. Jenkins
An attention-worthy drummer navigates the globe with Toto in tow. Robin DiMaggio is a superior percussionist with a deep appreciation for the world's musical styles, a vision admirably realized here on Blue Planet. Looking at the varicultured song titles, one might expect this project to be some cloying, pretentious attempt at New Age World Music. Fortunately, ...
Larry Carlton & Steve Lukather: No Substitutions
by Glenn Astarita
No Substitutions – Live in Osaka marks the first live performance collaboration by these seminal Southern California-based studio guitarists and group leaders. Guitarist Steve Lukather’s long term involvement with the pop band, “TOTO” amid countless sessions has made him perhaps one of the busiest and most sought after musicians on the West Coast, as the same ...

Johnson's infamous meticulousness over guitar equipment and his recordings has ...
