ECV: Sticks and Stones
by John Kelman
While a somewhat common secondary instrument for primarily electric guitarists including Vic Juris, Pat Metheny and Adam Rogers, there are but a handful of jazz six-stringers alive today who make the nylon-string acoustic guitar their main axe.

Quentin Angus: In Stride
by Geno Thackara

Here we have soft electric tones worthy of Grant Green crossed with the expansive compositional smarts of Pat Metheny. Fleet lines and ...
2017: The Year in Jazz
by Ken Franckling

Tyler Mire Big Band: #Office for the Day
by Nicholas F. Mondello
Social Media has spewed forth a cornucopia of emoticons, symbols, and catchphrases that have Twittered their way into Webster's.

Guitarist Joe Caro & The Met Band to release new recording “Every Dog Has His Day” (Innsbruck Records)
When you hear the cover songs on Joe Caro & the Met Band’s Every Dog Has His Day—classics from Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and Carole King and one Great American Songbook standard—your first thought may very well be, I’ve never heard those songs played like that before!
