Mark Guiliana: Beat Poet Of A Different Sort

Read "Mark Guiliana: Beat Poet Of A Different Sort" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Drummer Mark Guiliana's work has nothing to do with benzedrine, berets, William S.

Larry Carlton / Tak Matsumoto: Take Your Pick

Read "Take Your Pick" reviewed by John Kelman

For some, he's veered too close ...

Larry Carlton With Special Guest Robben Ford: Live in Tokyo

Read "Live in Tokyo" reviewed by John Kelman


With blues/jazz guitarist Robben Ford's Soul on Ten (Concord, 2009) receiving widespread attention, it's a good time to look at Live in Tokyo, a somewhat overlooked but unmistakably smokin' 2007 release from another West Coast guitar god, Larry Carlton. Carlton invited Ford to join his band for some dates in Tokyo in the fall of 2006, ...
