Mack Avenue Superband: Live From The Detroit Jazz Festival - 2014

Read "Live From The Detroit Jazz Festival - 2014" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Bands fostered by labels and sourced from their stables are nothing new. The concept itself has always carried great possibility, but many a label has dropped the ball on the artistic responsibility side of the equation. At their worst, these types of get-togethers have come off as incongruous gatherings that are crudely slapped together. The concerts ...

Kevin Eubanks, Stanley Jordan: Duets

Read "Duets" reviewed by Mario Calvitti


La chitarra è uno strumento che per sua natura si presta all'interazione in duo con un altro strumento, di qualsiasi tipo, ma è proprio con un'altra chitarra che le possibilità espressive pressoché illimitate sembrano riuscire a esprimersi al meglio. Per questo i duetti tra chitarristi sono sempre stati frequenti in tutti i generi musicali, dalla classica ...

Kevin Eubanks & Stanley Jordan: Duets

Read "Duets" reviewed by Rob Caldwell


We know Kevin Eubanks as a long-time leader and guitarist for The Tonight Show band, as well as a string of solo albums.

Drawing Jazz

Read "Drawing Jazz" reviewed by Keith Henry Brown


A twist on the old cliché, “Those who can't play--draw,"--that's my personal point of view. I've been a jazz nut since as long as I can remember, and as soon as I could push a pencil--even though I could barely bang out a simple tune on a piano--I was sketching some of my favorite players, Charles ...

Nels Cline, Julian Lage: Room

Read "Room" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Uno, Nels Cline, è un alchimista della sei corde, strumento che ha espanso e portato oltre i limiti come pochi, trasfigurandolo in una portentosa opportunità per viaggi ultragalattici della mente e del corpo. L'altro, Julian Lage, è un giovane emergente che partito dalla tradizione della chitarra jazz sta allargando i propri orizzonti grazie anche alla frequentazione ...
