Jazz Musician of the Day: Jeff Beck
All About Jazz is celebrating Jeff Beck's birthday today! Jeff Beck isn\'t your typical guitar legend. His goal, in fact, is to make you forget that he plays guitar. “I don\'t understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound," says Beck."Finding ways to use the same guitar ...
Led Zeppelin Remastered: The First Batch (I, II & III)
by John Kelman
I, II, III | IV, Houses of the Holy For a time, Led Zeppelin was one of the biggest--if not the biggest--bands in the world, eclipsing the Rolling Stones, the Who...even the Beatles. Born out of the ashes of the Yardbirds--even operating, very briefly, under the moniker the New Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin came to ...

Live From Birmingham: Jeff Beck, The Magic Band & Kid Congo Powers
by Martin Longley
Jeff Beck Symphony Hall May 20, 2014 When guitarist Jeff Beck's quartet took to the stage, they were sounding as brain-pulping as Nine Inch Nails, pushing out an edifice of industrial funk groove. With his freshly-dyed dark locks and black glam matador outfit, Beck didn't exactly look like he ...
Dewa Budjana (with Jimmy Johnson & Vinnie Colaiuta): Surya Namaskar
by Ian Patterson
Guitarist Dewa Budjana's two releases on MoonJune Records in 2013, Dawai in Paradise and Joged Kahyangan introduced a talented musician whose Indonesian roots dovetailed with prog rock, jazz fusion and a melodic pop sensibility; Budjana showed tremendous chops but, as he demonstrates once again, he's perhaps primarily a tunesmith. Budjana draws from a similar well of ...
Medeski, Martin & Wood + Nels Cline: Woodstock Sessions, Vol. 2
by John Kelman
In retrospect, it was inevitable; why it took so long for veteran jazz jam band Medeski, Martin & Wood to get together with Nels Cline is anybody's guess. The über-guitarist has, since joining Wilco a decade ago, managed to significantly raise his visibility, but anybody who suggests that he's been “moonlighting" in the alt-country/alt-rock/alt-alt band to ...
Dojo: Road Trip
by Ian Patterson
Fusion--long a dirty word in jazz circles--has enjoyed a renaissance in the last decade. In part it's due to the advocacy of lables such as Abstract Logix but the root cause is surely the fact that cross-pollination is increasingly the norm. And whilst fusion mightn't mean quite the same thing it did in the 1970s, these ...
Mumpbeak: Mumpbeak
by Glenn Astarita
When considering most instances of progressive rock, Mumpbeak is a horse of a different color. With four world- class bassists, chiefly performing on alternating tracks, and keyboardist Roy Powell's unearthly sound-shaping mechanisms garnered from an electronically souped-up Hohner clavinet, the band brashly merges a doomsday panorama with insurrectionary tactics. King Crimson drummer ...
Lyte Records: Dancing To Different Beats
by Ian Patterson
Since its inception in 2007, Lyte Records has earned a reputation as one of the very best labels in Ireland/Northern Ireland for independent jazz artists and creative musicians of various stripes. What started out as a very small, personal concern for Lyte Records founder David Lyttle has grown into something much bigger; international recognition came Lyte ...
"Worlds Around the Sun" Reissued by Omnivore Recordings March 11
The music world of the early 1970s was a time of experimentation and activism. When listeners heard Santana play “Free Angela” on their classic 1973 release Lotus, few, if any, knew the song was originally released by its writer, Todd Cochran, a year before. Worlds Around the Sun was recorded and issued on Prestige Records in ...
