Pink Floyd

Active since:

Pink Floyd formed in 1964 from earlier bands whose names included Sigma 6, T-Set, Megadeaths, The Screaming Abdabs, The Architectural Abdabs, and The Abdabs. The band was again renamed The Pink Floyd Sound and then simply The Pink Floyd (after two blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council). The definite article was dropped by the time their debut album was released. Pink Floyd originally consisted of Bob Klose (lead guitar), Syd Barrett (vocals, rhythm guitar), Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals), Roger Waters (bass, vocals) and Nick Mason (drums). They covered rhythm and blues staples such as 'Louie, Louie'

Q3: Water Speckled Midnight

Read "Water Speckled Midnight" reviewed by Neil Duggan


Named after a species of lichen, Water Speckled Midnight is the third album from British quartet, Q3. Their debut came with 2014's Spider Dance (Lenox Music) and was followed by Monkey Puzzle Tree in 2019 (Lenox Music). Whilst hardly prolific, it does suggest that the tunes are gestated over a long time. That is borne out ...

Funky Nothingness

Read "Funky Nothingness" reviewed by Mario Calvitti


A quasi trent'anni dalla scomparsa e dopo il passaggio dell'intero catalogo alla Universal, prosegue al ritmo di quattro titoli all'anno la pubblicazione di album inediti di Frank Zappa. Dopo l'uscita di Mudd Club/Munich 1980, album francamente non imprescindibile a meno di essere appassionati del periodo centrato sull'album Sheik Yerbouti, ma comunque gratificato da numerosi eccellenti assoli ...

An AAJ Interview with Ben Allison

Read "An AAJ Interview with Ben Allison" reviewed by AAJ Staff


This interview, conducted by Allen Huotari, was first published at All About Jazz in September 1999.

Paradoxically and ironically, the blessing of having one's abilities recognized in public forum is the ...

Roger Clark Miller: Eight Dream Interpretations for Solo Electric Guitar Ensemble

Read "Eight Dream Interpretations for Solo Electric Guitar Ensemble" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


Roger Clark Miller (who has simply been “Roger Miler" on many prior recordings) has a hell of a resume. He is best known for his guitar-playing in the experimental rock band Mission of Burma, which he co-founded in 1979.

Read "A Different Drummer, Pt. 6: Iberian Beats – Jorge Rossy & Pedro Melo Alves" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

Read "In the Electric Universe" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki


Have you ever tried to catch a frog? Frogs are impossibly quick. They jump around unpredictably in starts and stops and in every possible direction.
