Gutbucket: Sludge Test
by Abe Pollack
The members of Gutbucket have never been satisfied with the moniker “jazz quartet," nor have they wanted to fit in with stereotypical rockers.

His professional beginnings were with the gospel group The Singing Travelers, and their 1962 recording of “Motherless Child opens the ...
Duke Ellington: The Essential Duke Ellington
by Ken Dryden
Anytime the term “essential" is utilized in a compilation of an artist's work, critics are ready to second-guess it. But this two-CD set issued by Columbia/Legacy, now a part of the parent company Sony-BMG, represents a good cross-section of Duke Ellington's studio recordings and even licenses a few tracks from other companies to fill some gaps, ...
