Loren Stillman: Brothers' Breakfast & Trio Alto Volume One
by Budd Kopman
When he finally hit the limelight, saxophonist Loren Stillman seemed to come out of nowhere, fully formed--or at least with a clear composing technique and playing style, both of them distinctive and recognizable. However, an “overnight sensation" is rarely that and How Sweet It Is (Nagel Heyer, 2003), the album that signaled the arrival of a ...
Jeff Beck: Live, Remastered And Expanded
by Doug Collette
Jeff Beck is the most explosive guitarist of his generation. Since he first stepped into the spotlight as a replacement for Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds, he has played with an impulsive, unorthodox logic all his own. It's an approach he has continued to hone through pioneering forays in the realm of jazz-rock fusion, as presented ...
Nguyen Le: Miracles & Zanzibar
by John Kelman
It's all too rare that an artist appears, seemingly out of nowhere, fully matured and with a distinctively personal musical conception. While guitarist Nguyên Lê--Parisian born of Vietnamese parents--might argue that his true voice didn't emerge until he released the seminal Tales From Vietnam (ACT, 1996), the recent remastered reissue of his first two albums as ...

by Elliott Simon
Middle Eastern instrumentation, modes and rhythms have long served as source material for jazz musicians wishing to extend their musical boundaries. In the early days of jazz, an “oriental tinge was often used to add an air of exotica to a performance piece. Later, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane and others would use these same ...
Jerry Garcia: Renaissance Musician
by Doug Collette
Two recently released albums reaffirm much about the solo career of the late, titular leader of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia. The Very Best Of Jerry Garcia brings practically nothing new to the marketplace, unless you know very little about Garcia's activities outside the Dead itself. As an introduction to the varied and diverse projects the ...

Genesis: The Peter Gabriel Years: 1967-1975
by Trevor MacLaren
During the last thirty years the world has been stuck in the syrupy sludge of the Phil Collins era of Genesis, when it was impossible to distinguish a solo Collins record from a Genesis one. Fans of the original group have long been dismayed by the acquired, gargantuan pop overtones of a band which was one ...
