Tedeschi Trucks Band: Made Up Mind
by C. Michael Bailey
Since the assimilation of the Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks bands into the eleven-member Tedeschi Trucks Band, the group has worked, creatively speaking, non-stop.

Brad Russell: Let's Hear It!
by Glenn Astarita
Badass bassist Brad Russell takes care of business with cyclonic fretwork that might be expected from a whirling-dervish on steroids. Even though the digital-only release clocks in a little under 30 minutes, this debut solo endeavor contains largely memorable works, featuring guitar hero Joe Satriani and others on select tracks.

Phi Yaan-Zek resurrects ghost of Frank Zappa on genre-bending new album
When rock & roll iconoclast Frank Zappa passed away in 1993, he left behind a spirit of adventure in music that was as revolutionary as it was irreverent. There won't be another like him. However, that doesn't mean there will not be any artists who won't even come close. Zappa's successor just might be a relatively ...
Frank Portolese: Plectrum Jazz Guitar Solos
by C. Michael Bailey
Solo jazz guitar is a harsh and unforgiving lover. The piano provides a more complete performance experience as a solo instrument for technical reasons, though this same completeness can be achieved on guitar by a precious few, talented enough to achieve such artistic parity. Add to this the stipulation that a plectrum (guitar pick) be used ...

The Conduit Trio: Beyond Liquid Glass
by Glenn Astarita
New Mexico is recognized as an artists' haven, but not an area that features jazz-rock power trios. Nonetheless, there are always exceptions to the perceived rule.
