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.

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
