Allison Miller: Boom Tic Boom

Read "Boom Tic Boom" reviewed by Lyn Horton

Andrea Centazzo: Guitars

Read "Guitars" reviewed by Elliott Simon

by Elliott Simon

Live improvisation is ephemeral yet creative, a fleeting sonic moment in time that is lost as quickly as sound dissipates through space.

John Scofield: Shinola

Read "Shinola" reviewed by Tom Greenland

by Tom Greenland

John Scofield is documented in his pre-Miles Davis period on Shinola, a 1981 date with Steve Swallow (electric bass) and Adam Nussbaum (drums). The guitarist's distinctive style is highly developed even at this stage in his career, combining elements of rock and rhythm 'n' blues with post-bop leanings and an uncanny, 'left-handed' lyricism, all colored with ...
