Joe McPhee: Underground Railroad + Live At Holy Cross Monastery 1968/6

by Derek Taylor
November 1, 2001

True to their word the folks behind the Unheard Music Series have continued in their charge of returning all Joe McPhee’s early recordings for the CJR label to circulation. The latest installment and McPhee’s debut as a leader, Underground Railroad does one better by adding an entire archival concert to the package. At the risk of ...

by Derek Taylor
April 1, 2001

Joe McPhee: Nation Time

by Robert Spencer
January 1, 2001

If you have enjoyed some of Joe McPhee's recent releases, such as Undersound or Novio Iolu, you may be in for a bit of a surprise. Even if you're well aware that Joe doesn't always work with the delicacy and subtlety he employs on those two discs, but with the bluster and grandeur of Grand Marquis, ...
