Fantasy Box Set League

Read "Fantasy Box Set League" reviewed by Patrick Burnette

by Patrick Burnette

Box sets are back, baby! Some of us old timers thought they might be gone for good after the CD crash (remember when Joe Henderson's The Milestone Years was going for twenty-bucks at your local mall?) But companies have realized that for those happy few who continue collecting “physical media," the big-ole stack of music still ...

The Bad Plus: Complex Emotions

Read "Complex Emotions" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic

For those out there who may have inadvertently thought The Bad Plus had nothing major left to say after two-plus decades of saying major things, guess again. Because Complex Emotions--their sixteenth statement of purpose--doubles down and ups a hundred. Proof positive is how guitarist Ben Monder's valedictory “LiPo"--equal parts biblical wind and prairie sandstorm--sleigh ...

At Monterey Jazz Festival 67, Jazz Gospel According to a New Head

Read "At Monterey Jazz Festival 67, Jazz Gospel According to a New Head" reviewed by Josef Woodard

by Josef Woodard

Monterey Jazz Festival Monterey, CA September 27-29, 2024 Getting a semblance of a summarizing angle on a densely-programmed jazz festival, which the 67th Monterey Jazz Festival most certainly was, can be tricky business. The equation gets more complex with a festival geared towards covering many genre and sub-genre bases within ...

Blues With A Feeling: Luther Dickinson & JD Simo; Charlie Hunter & Jubu Smith; Mick Fleetwood & Jake Shimabukuro

Read "Blues With A Feeling: Luther Dickinson & JD Simo; Charlie Hunter & Jubu Smith; Mick Fleetwood & Jake Shimabukuro" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The blues is more about feel than form, but even so, the genre has its readily-recognizable structures. The A-A-B lyric format, shuffles in varying tempos and the 12-bar configuration are all stock-in-trade frameworks. Still, the essential simplicity of the blues lends itself to innumerable variations and so it is with these contemporary collaborative works of Luther ...

Rolling Stones: Live At The Wiltern (2CD/DVD)

Read "Live At The Wiltern (2CD/DVD)" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Cowed as the Rolling Stones may have been by the tragedy that was Altamont in December 1969, 'the greatest rock and roll band in the world' nevertheless came to take some risks as their career evolved in the wake of the Mick Jagger/Keith Richards rapprochement in the late Eighties. Machine-like as the operation became ...

Dean Brown: Global Fusion on Acid

Read "Dean Brown: Global Fusion on Acid" reviewed by Jim Worsley

by Jim Worsley

In memory of Dean Brown. This interview was first published at All About Jazz on April 23, 2021. From the outset, the equation was simple enough. Jazz + rock = fusion. However, whether it was Miles Davis, Larry Coryell, John McLaughlin, or any of the pioneers of fusion, the music has always been far ...

Mary Halvorson: Cloudward

Read "Cloudward" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic

Guitarist, composer & raconteur Mary Halvorson could very comfortably (and rightfully) wear the sobriquet of “The Charles Mingus of Guitar" if she wanted to. But even that open-ended comparison would limit her as she outdoes herself again on Cloudward. Though it must surely be getting harder to top herself given the string of releases--the ...
