John McLean: Easy Go

by Jim Santella
November 1, 2001

Mostly his originals, the session smokes with an authenticity that centers on exciting guitar leadership. By adding organ and tenor saxophone, McLean provides a sound that captures the essence of jazz and rock. Pieces by Woody Shaw, Bill Evans/Miles Davis and Jaco Pastorius add a mainstream charm. Hammond organ and guitar go back a long way. ...

Read "Don't Be Scared Anymore" reviewed by Todd S. Jenkins

by Todd S. Jenkins
September 1, 2000

Following the untimely demise of the Igmod label, the Paul Wertico Trio made an enlivening shift to Premonition to produce their first studio disc.

But on no other Beatles album was there such a mix of experimentation and unsentimental songcraft, with economical but heady arrangements that deserve the description “definitive”. Avoiding the nostalgic waxed glow of many jazz vocal ...
