The Skip Heller Trio: Mean Things Happening In This Land

It's increasingly difficult to tell when someone is being ironic or sincere. Skip Heller, more than a little manic and an unquestionably gifted guitarist, might not be able to tell us himself where the sincerity ends and the irony begins on this record. Start with the music. It's an energetic guitar/organ trio date, driven by the ...

The Skip Heller Trio: Mean Things Happening In This Land

Read "Mean Things Happening In This Land" reviewed by Rex  Butters

Christian McBride: Live at Tonic

Read "Live at Tonic" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


Bassist Christian McBride detonated a funkfest in New York City last year and documented it digitally on Live at Tonic. This three-CD set is filled to the brim with music, each disc clocking in at greater than an hour. The problem is there exists a certain 1970s self indulgence on two of the three discs. But ...

Christian McBride: Live at Tonic

Read "Live at Tonic" reviewed by John Kelman


Given jazz's spontaneous nature, it's often best experienced live. Jazz meccas like New York offer an additional opportunity to experience one-off events where guests sit in with a club's featured artist. For those of us living in cities where this is not such a common occurrence, albums like Live at Tonic are especially important. Christian McBride's ...

Sex Mob: Sex Mob Does Bond

Read "Sex Mob Does Bond" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Exactly, what does this terror-filled world require? Simply stated two words (actually three), Bond, James Bond. Saving the world, or in this case the popular entertainment world, is the band Sex Mob. Their take on the music of James Bond is more Chris Farley then Sean Connery. Where Bond composer John Barry oozed 1960 and 70s ...
