Working the Rhythm Section: Tom Lawton, Lee Smith, and Dan Monaghan
by Victor L. Schermer
As Duke Ellington's standard goes, “It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got that Swing." The rhythm section (piano, bass, drums, with guitar and percussion sometimes added) is the core of the typical jazz ensemble. They set the frame for the leader, singer, and soloists and contribute their own solos as well. Even though they ...

John Kelman's Best Releases of 2014
by John Kelman
2014 was another challenging year, with a personal health matter that began in early summer (thankfully finally diagnosed, non-life threatening and now being treated, though still waiting for signs of improvement) slowing down both travel and the usual breakneck writing in a significant way. Since the rule of this list is that any titles on it ...

The Led Zeppelin Papers: Led Zeppelin IV, Deluxe Edition

The ...
The Led Zeppelin Papers: Houses of the Holy, Deluxe Edition
by C. Michael Bailey
Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy, Deluxe Edition (Atlantic Records) 1973/2014 “For me, Led Zeppelin began as the epitome of everything good about rock: solid guitar work, forceful vocals and rhythmic backing, devotion to primal blues forms, and most of all, thunderous excitement on stage and vinyl. But as superstardom came ...
Robert Plant Ripped up Richard Branson's $800 Million Offer to Reunite Led Zeppelin
Particularly in this age of mega-sponsorship deals and music in advertising, there's something noble about a musician who says 'no, this doesn't feel right' to a big pile of money. Robert Plant apparently did just that with an offer from Sir Richard Branson to do just 35 shows with his old Led Zeppelin bandmates. Plant is ...
Nguyen Le With Michael Gibbs & NDR Bigband: Celebrating The Dark Side Of The Moon
by Ian Patterson
It's a bold concept; take Pink Floyd's iconic Dark Side of the Moon (Harvest, 1973) and reinterpret it in a big band jazz setting. With upwards of forty million copies sold, every note, every nuance of Floyd's eighth album is so firmly entrenched in the minds of the band's legion devotees that to tamper with the ...
