Michael Blake: Red Hook Soul
by Maurizio Comandini
Il saxofonista canadese Michael Blake è ormai newyorkese fino in fondo all'anima ma se date retta ai profumi che si spargono nell'aria ascoltando questo ottimo Red Hook Soul si direbbe che, quando serve, almeno una parte della sua anima si trasferisca magicamente nelle vie di New Orleans, a caccia di quel groove solido, viscerale e fantasioso ...

Bey Paule Band: Not Goin' Away
by James Nadal
San Francisco, though widely recognized for its cultural sophistication, and its contribution to the psychedelic sixties, has never been celebrated for being a blues town. Well, that is apparently changing, and this has been going on while the rest of the country is going about its localized music business. Spearheading this movement is the independent Blue ...
Sticky Fingers Super Deluxe Box Set
by C. Michael Bailey
Year in and year out, much is made of the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street (Universal Music Group, 1972/2010) (EOMS) being the “greatest rock and roll album."
