The Complete On The Corner Sessions

by John Kelman
November 28, 2007

Much has been written about what is perhaps trumpeter Miles Davis' most controversial album, On The Corner (Columbia, 1972). Already shaken from the electric onslaught of Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1969), A Tribute To Jack Johnson (Columbia, 1970), and a series of live or, in the case of Live-Evil (Columbia, 1970), largely live releases, it was the ...

John McLaughlin: The Essential John McLaughlin

Read "The Essential John McLaughlin" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman
November 22, 2007

Any attempt to summarize John McLaughlin's diverse career into a mere two CDs will be open to criticism, especially by the legendary guitarist's ardent fans. The Essential John McLaughlin is not meant to be a “best of collection, or even a representation of all the various groups he's led since his professional career began in the ...

John McLaughlin: His Goals Beyond

by A. Henkin
September 20, 2007

Fusion these days is a dirty word and fans of the genre are treated with the same smirking disdain as Trekkies or role-playing gamers. Some might posit that fusion's initial burst of energy--sometime between 1967 and 1969 depending on who you talk to--was soon co-opted by hyper-masculine “virtuosos and then, even worse, by commercial interests in ...

Nel 1979 Jaco Pastorius era all’apice della sua carriera, era solidamente inserito nel supergruppo Weather Report e, secondo il giudizio pressoché unanime ...
