È questo il caso della Cuneiform Records, con sede a Silver Spring nel Maryland fondata nel 1984 da ...

LUUM: The Guide

Read "The Guide" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

That is just for openers for ...

Julian Lage: Squint

Read "Squint" reviewed by Chris May

Guitar Gods & Goddesses: An Alternative Top Ten Albums

Read "Guitar Gods & Goddesses: An Alternative Top Ten Albums" reviewed by Chris May


Although it has been present in jazz since the 1920s, when it was routinely used in rhythm sections, as a solo instrument the guitar struggled to make itself heard--literally--until the second half of the 1930s, when reliable pick-ups and portable amplifiers became available.
