Ry Cooder: Ry Cooder & Corridos Famosos - Live in San Francisco
by C. Michael Bailey
Ryland Peter Cooder is the quintessential American Music iconoclast who spent more of his career creatively south of the border. Early American jazz and blues, Tex-Mex, Hawaiian, Cooder loved them all and delved deeply into each. A slide guitarist comparable to peers Duane Allman and Mick Taylor, it was Cooder who turned Keith Richards on to ...
Chris Thile: Chris Thile: Bach - Sonatas & Partitas
by C. Michael Bailey
At first blush, Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin played on the humble mandolin might be akin to making a Rusty Nail with single-malt scotch. A successful performance will require, at the very least, great virtuosity and vision: both of which Chris Thile possesses in impressive amounts. Banjoist Bela Fleck's superb 2001 recording Perpetual Motion ...
Joshua Redman: Walking Shadows
by Nenad Georgievski

Pat Metheny: Tap: John Zorn's Book of Angels, Vol. 20
by AAJ Italy Staff
La strana coppia! Negli anni è diventato sempre più difficile, se non impossibile, valutare la produzione di John Zorn con i tradizionali strumenti critici: una delle caratteristiche più “geniali" e in un certo senso eversive del sassofonista e compositore newyorkese è infatti certamente quella di avere sottratto progressivamente la propria musica alle traiettorie dialettiche conosciute, attraverso ...
Tap - John Zorn's Book of Angels | Vol. 20
by John Kelman
It's difficult to know what is most surprising about Tap: John Zorn's Book of Angels | Vol. 20. It's the first collaboration between guitarist Pat Metheny and saxophonist/composer/Tzadik label head John Zorn, two musicians who, at least on the surface, couldn't be more different. Of course, those who look beyond Metheny's more listener-friendly Pat Metheny Group ...

Pat Metheny: The Orchestrion Project
by John Kelman
With The Orchestrion Project (Eagle Eye Media, 2012), Pat Metheny provided a detailed visual look into the workings of the guitarist's complex, custom-built conglomeration of instruments--triggered by pneumatics, solenoids and computer programs--that took this orchestral successor to the player piano (the first known version being the panharmonicon, in 1805) not just into a new century, but ...
