Ultimate Collectors' Edition

Read "Ultimate Collectors' Edition" reviewed by John Kelman


Well, there's certainly been a wait for this one, but for fans of what may be the last high profile progressive rock group to emerge in the 1970s, U.K.'s Ultimate Collectors' Edition proves well worth it. What began as an already sizeable 16-disc box for a group that, during its relatively brief tenure, released just two ...

Intervista a Roberto Bellatalla

Read "Intervista a Roberto Bellatalla" reviewed by Daniele Vogrig


Se i concetti di fraternità e universalità da sempre caratterizzano il jazz in tutte le sue forme, senza dubbio e a buon diritto Roberto Bellatalla ne può essere considerato uno dei massimi ambasciatori. Amsterdam, Londra, Johannesburg. Quaranta anni di storia (e di storie), poi il ritorno a casa. Ammesso e non concesso che ...

Blameful Isles: Strange But Not Entirely Unattractive

Read "Strange But Not Entirely Unattractive" reviewed by Dave Wayne


Essentially a one-man-band based in Sweden, Blameful Isles is one of many artists who are actively rediscovering and re-processing the sounds of the early jazz-rock movement of the 1970s. Overall, the ongoing re-vitalization of jazz-rock and fusion has been a really good thing. For audiences of a certain age, the mere sound of a real Fender ...

Take Five with Boris Savoldelli

Read "Take Five with Boris Savoldelli" reviewed by AAJ Staff


About Boris Savoldelli: Boris is a vocal performer with a brilliant personality. He's always been in love with his “vocal instrument" and its extraordinary possibilities.

Sanguine Hum: What We Ask Is Where We Begin - The Songs for Days Sessions

Read "Sanguine Hum: What We Ask Is Where We Begin - The Songs for Days Sessions" reviewed by John Kelman


Few groups in the history of music can be credited with having come up with something as wonderfully absurd (yet, somehow, totally making sense) as Sanguine Hum. On its last album, the two-CD concept album Now We Have Light (Esoteric Antenna, 2014), the group told the story of a Dystopian future where our hero, Don (just ...

Ben Monder: Amorphae

Read "Ben Monder: Amorphae" reviewed by John Kelman


Having made his first--and, up to now, only--appearance on Munich's lauded ECM Records on the late drummer Paul Motian's Garden of Eden (2006), it's certainly taken a long time for the virtuosically talented guitarist to get a date of his own. Monder's résumé--while filled with significant associations including, in addition to Motian, composer/bandleader Maria Schneider, double ...

Nick Freer: The Unsuspecting

Read "The Unsuspecting" reviewed by Roger Farbey


The euphonious start to “Glyph" on The Unsuspecting gives no clue as to the surprising guitar solo that ensues. This surely is Allan Holdsworth, no? Actually it isn't. Australian guitarist Nick Freer is an unashamed devotee of Holdsworth. He's currently embarking on a PhD entitled The Improvisational Process of Guitarist Allan Holdsworth: Ontology and Analysis of ...
