LiveHuman: ScratchBop
by Mark F. Turner
DJ turntablism and jazz may seem like strange bed-fellows but have often found a creative bond in live events and recordings. For many years, musicians on both sides of the equation have blended instrumental performances with the skill of scratching vinyl / DJ mixing such as Herbie Hancock's Rockit (Columbia, 1983) and Chillin' in Batumi (Exitus, ...
Dennis Coffey: Hot Coffey in the D – Burnin' at Morey Baker’s Showplace Lounge
by Doug Collette
If the name Dennis Coffey only faintly rings a bell, it's because the guitarist was a member of the ensemble know as The Funk Brothers, the studio session crew who supplied the musicianship at the heart of Motown classics.

Mick Rossi

Particolarmente degni di nota il nuovo album di Dino e Franco Piana e soprattutto l'omaggio di Brian Lynch allo sfortunato trombettista Woody Shaw. Da amare e consigliare anche le ristampe Blue ...
Dennis Coffey: Hot Coffey in the D – Burnin at Morey Baker’s Showplace Lounge
by C. Michael Bailey
Who is Dennis Coffey? In this period of Adderall attention spans, Dennis Coffey is this: The Temptations' “Ball of Confusion" (Gordy, 1970); Edwin Starr's “War" (Gordy, 1970); Diana Ross and the Supremes' “Someday We'll be Together" (Motown, 1969). Does that ring a bell? I know everyone talks about the West Coast's “Wrecking Crew," but, Detroit had ...
