Ravi Shankar: In Hollywood, 1971

Read "In Hollywood, 1971" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


A real treat for fans of legendary sitarist Ravi Shankar, this is not only a live recording of a rare morning concert, but also an “at home" performance Shankar did for some special friends at his residence on Highland Avenue in Hollywood, California.

The Necks: Vertigo

Read "Vertigo" reviewed by Dave Wayne


Permit me a moment on a soapbox. Improvisation is merely a process, just as composition is a process. It is simply a way to organize sound. There are no imperatives, no agendas.

The Necks: Open

Read "Open" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Listening to a recording by the Australian trio The Necks is akin to over- hearing a conversation between two giant sequoia trees. While humans might not perceive the growth and movement of the trees, mom and pop Sequoiadendron giganteum might comment, “Little Billy sure has sprouted up these past 400 years, he's outgrown all his school ...

Marc Ribot Ceramic Dog: Your Turn

Read "Your Turn" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Se n'è stato buono buono nella cuccia per cinque anni il cane di ceramica, attendendo con pazienza che i padroncini Ches Smith, Shazad Ismaily e Marc Ribot si decidessero a sfornare il seguito del fulminante Party Intellectuals. Vero: i tre l'hanno portato a spasso per il mondo di tanto in tanto, allentando il guinzaglio e facendogli ...
