Miles at the Fillmore - Miles Davis 1970: The Bootleg Series Vol. 3

Read "Miles at the Fillmore - Miles Davis 1970: The Bootleg Series Vol. 3" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

It would have been inconceivable for Miles Davis in his post-sabbatical, 1980s reincarnation to have been billed as “an extra added attraction" on any festival or concert hall billing, but that's how it was when the trumpeter--already a legend--played his first ever gigs at the Filmore East, supporting Neil Young & Crazy Horse and the Steve ...

Ryan Blotnick: Solo, Volume I

Read "Solo, Volume I" reviewed by Mario Calvitti

by Mario Calvitti

Dopo due album a suo nome registrati con formazioni variabili (trio, quartetto, quintetto), il giovane chitarrista Ryan Blotnick (classe 1983) ha sentito il bisogno di ritrovare una dimensione più intimista, dedicandosi intensamente alla pratica del solo, allo stesso tempo ritornando nel nativo Maine dopo alcuni anni trascorsi a New York. Ne scaturisce un lavoro delicato e ...

Emmylou Harris: Wrecking Ball

Read "Emmylou Harris: Wrecking Ball" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

Wrecking Ball seemed like a pivotal record in singer Emmylou Harris' history when it was released in 1995 and it is no less important now 20 years later. It is said that great records may go out of print but they rarely go out of style, and Wrecking Ball still radiates with its sheer beauty. Assisted ...

Big Head Todd and the Monsters: Black Beehive

Read "Black Beehive" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Amy Cervini: Jazz Country

Read "Jazz Country" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

This album title is something of a double entendre. It references the jazz community that surrounds the lady of the hour, but it's really about the nexus that exists between the two American-born forms of music that make up its name. Therefore, it could be said that Jazz Country is missing a hyphen, but that's about ...

Dig A Little Deeper: Songs From The Small Hours

Read "Songs From The Small Hours" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

The title of the debut recording from guitarist Mick Stuart's quintet Dig A Little Deeper captures pretty well the mood of the music--a late night vibe of sultry vocal jazz with brushes and earthy bass setting the mood. Singer Riona Hartman's pure-toned voice holds center stage on eleven original compositions that are notable for their simple ...

Dreambox Media: The Philadelphia Jazz Label

Read "Dreambox Media: The Philadelphia Jazz Label" reviewed by Mike Oppenheim

by Mike Oppenheim

Any fan of the great American music that is jazz is surely aware that the art form's history depended on the convergence of geography, individual talents, and inspiration. Cities such as New Orleans, Kansas City, Chicago, and New York are synonymous with particular styles of jazz. One often overlooked city is Philadelphia, the birthplace and/or home ...

Bill Frisell: Silent Comedy

Read "Bill Frisell: Silent Comedy" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

Only once before in a discography that runs to 35-odd albums has leader Bill Frisell released a solo guitar album--the brooding Ghost Town (Nonesuch Records, 2000). Thirteen years on, Frisell returns to the solo format, though the difference between the two offerings is like night and day. Whereas Ghost Town was a series of mostly acoustic ...
