Paul Bollenback: Invocation
by Dan McClenaghan
Guitarist Paul Bollenback, who spent sixteen years backing organ great Joey DeFrancesco in concert and on CD, has some serious chops.

Paul Bollenback: Soul Grooves
by Douglas Payne
The days of honest to God soul jazz are probably long gone. It's hard to even remember all the good players who stretched out over some well-known R & B or dug deep into a meaningful blues. They packed all the clubs and their records, one a month it seemed, sold like crazy. Somewhere along the ...
