Alex Machacek: 24 Tales
by John Kelman
It's not the first time guitarist Alex Machacek has composed around drum improvisation--he did that with three tracks on [sic], his 2006 breakout record and first for Abstract Logix--but he's taken the concept even farther on 24 Tales. It's also not the only release to use, as its basis, a 51-minute drum improvisation by Marco Minneman--Machacek's ...
John McLaughlin: To the One
by AAJ Italy Staff
Con questo ottimo To the One John McLaughlin sembra ritrovare come per magia un filone aureo importante che gli consente di affondare gli artigli nella materia lavica della musica per rimettersi in gioco e per ritrovare una sorta di centralità nella evoluzione della chitarra elettrica. Molto semplicemente questa sorgente di energia è la musica di John ...
Nels Cline: Of Singers and Sound
by Rex Butters

The Nels Cline Singers: Initiate
by Mark Corroto
The release of the Nels Cline Singers 2-disc Initiate, a two hour-and-fifteen minute behemoth of sound, calls to mind a similar effort of 30 years ago, entitled Sandinista! (Epic, 1980) by the influential punk band turned prophets, The Clash. Like Mick Jones and Joe Strummer's 3-LP project, Cline's vision is too big to be encapsulated into ...
John McLaughlin & the 4th Dimension: To The One
by Ian Patterson
John McLaughlin and The 4th Dimension To The One Abstract Logix 2010 It's seems like a while since John McLaughlin recorded in such a stripped down context with a working band. Recordings such as Industrial Zen(Verve, 2006) and Floating Point (Abstract Logix, 2008) found the ...
John McLaughlin and The 4th Dimension: John McLaughlin and The 4th Dimension: To The One
by John Kelman
After two studio albums that fell into the category of special projects--the large-casted but surprisingly cohesive Industrial Zen (Verve, 2005) and synth-laden Floating Point (Abstract Logix, 2008), where the iconic guitarist flipped his past concerns of playing eastern music with a western sensibility by recruiting a largely Indian group to play some very western fusion--John McLaughlin ...
Cindy Blackman: Another Lifetime
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Drummer Cindy Blackman has played with acts from Lenny Kravitz to Joe Henderson but it was Tony Williams, one of the greatest drummers of all time, who was her main influence. Blackman's dynamic Another Lifetime pays tribute to her mentor and friend and is centered primarily on Williams' role as a founding father of jazz-rock fusion. ...
Anthony Jackson / Yiorgos Fanakas: Interspirit
by John Kelman
He's performed with a seemingly countless array of artists--from Roberta Flack and Steely Dan to Chick Corea, John Scofield, and Steve Khan--but electric contrabassist Anthony Jackson, now approaching 60, is that rare consummate sideman who has never released an album as a leader/co-leader. Until now. Interspirit teams the inveterate bassist with Greek bassist Yiorgos Fakanas for ...
