The Wine of Silence (with Andrew Keeling and David Singleton)

Read "The Wine of Silence (with Andrew Keeling and David Singleton)" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

It's strange how things sometimes come around full circle...well, almost. After helping to define symphonic prog with King Crimson and the seminal In the Court of the Crimson King (DGM Live, 1969)--mellotrons screaming instead of a real orchestras swirling--the rigors of the road, and keeping a band together, caused co-founder/guitarist Robert Fripp to desert such problems ...

Jenny Scheinman: Mischief & Mayhem

Read "Mischief & Mayhem" reviewed by Jack Huntley

by Jack Huntley

Violinist Jenny Scheinman's Mischief & Mayhem fires on all cylinders. Everything works--from arrangements to overall track cohesion, from the music's fertile energy to the musician's creative interplay, and from the quality of sound engineering to the ingeniously accomplished album art--making this a near-flawless package of musical craftsmanship. Mischief & Mayhem indeed, as the album is nothing ...

Barrel: Gratuitous Abuse

Read "Gratuitous Abuse" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

by Raul d'Gama Rose

How far can the primary family of strings be pushed? Does humor--a question once asked by Frank Zappa--still belong in music? From time to time these questions might be answered in a remarkable performance or two, but as creativity in music falters for lack of true industry support, it is not often that musicians can truly ...

Elephant9: Live at the BBC

Read "Live at the BBC" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

In Norway, there are now labels that are releasing vinyl-only editions, including the intrepid Rune Grammofon, which introduced its The Last Record Company a couple years back, with limited-run albums including guitarist Stian Westerhus' Galore (2009) and equally ...

by John Kelman

Steven WilsonCorona TheatreMontreal, Canada November 15, 2011 For many of the mid-Baby Boomer era, the gateway drug to jazz was progressive rock. That's not to suggest that the more structured and, some might say, bombastic environs of late 1960s/early 1970s groups like Yes or Emerson, Lake and Palmer had a whole ...

Roine Stolt and Neal Morse: Degrees of Separation

Read "Roine Stolt and Neal Morse: Degrees of Separation" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

2011 has been a banner year for progressive rock, the genre that emerged in the late 1960s, peaked in the mid 1970s, and was threatened with extinction (certainly from a commercial perspective) with the advent of punk and new wave. Of course, prog never went away, and the music of seminal bands such as King Crimson, ...

Morgan Agren/ Trey Gunn/ Henry Kaiser - Invisible Rays (2011)

There are certain musical sensibilities that set Robert Fripp apart from other guitarists out there—mostly a serpent-like determination to strike at, and only at, the exact right moment, but ...
