Levin Minnemann Rudess: Levin Minnemann Rudess

Read "Levin Minnemann Rudess" reviewed by John Kelman


For a first crack at a fresh idea for Lazy Bones Records--three well-known musicians brought together to create improv-based music with a minimum of planning--Levin Torn White (2011) was a set that, beyond finding common ground amongst bassist/stick master Tony Levin, guitar sound sculptor David Torn and drummer Alan White, also proved, unequivocally, that White is ...

Mike Keneally: You Must Be This Tall

Read "You Must Be This Tall" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Virtuoso guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Mike Keneally has been all over the musical radar, spanning the past three decades.

Steven Wilson: Luck's What You Make It

Read "Steven Wilson: Luck's What You Make It" reviewed by John Kelman


There was a time when progressive rock really meant what its name suggested: progressive music, music that pushed the boundaries of what rock music was, often by integrating elements of classical music and jazz into the mix. Milestone groups ranging from better-knowns like Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant and Van der Graaf Generator ...

The Wine of Silence (with Andrew Keeling and David Singleton)

Read "The Wine of Silence (with Andrew Keeling and David Singleton)" reviewed by John Kelman


It's strange how things sometimes come around full circle...well, almost. After helping to define symphonic prog with King Crimson and the seminal In the Court of the Crimson King (DGM Live, 1969)--mellotrons screaming instead of a real orchestras swirling--the rigors of the road, and keeping a band together, caused co-founder/guitarist Robert Fripp to desert such problems ...

Mike Keneally Band - Guitar Therapy Live (2006)

Mike Keneally Band - Guitar Therapy Live (2006)

By Tom Johnson I can't even begin to pretend to be impartial here: Guitarist Mike Keneally is absolutely one of my all-time favorites. But that doesn't mean I'm going to steer you wrong: If I thought this wasn't an easily palatable platter of fine phonic fun, I would have little problem saying so. And that is ...

Mike Keneally and Metropole Orkest - The Universe Will Provide (2004)

Mike Keneally and Metropole Orkest - The Universe Will Provide (2004)

By Tom Johnson I was a little disappointed with guitarist Mike Keneally's initial release of 2004, Dog. It seemed to be lacking a little something physical, some cohesive element, in the music, but where it worked it worked great. It was just too unbalanced by some out of place avant-garde-ish pieces that didn't really fit in ...
