Quickies: New Release Roundup 2010, Vol. 8
By Pico Long, established rock acts like Eric Clapton and Heart have nothing more to prove and have plenty enough hits that they really don't need to make records anymore. They still do, of course, but nowadays will go four or five years (or more) before releasing a new album. This happens to be one of ...
Jared Gold - Out of Line (2010)
By Pico Maybe it's just me, but I think we're in the midst of a full-fledged revival in jazz organ, led by a newer generation of players who have gone beyond mimicking the tried and true voicings of Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff and Richard “Groove" Holmes. In that group of innovative new B-3 specialists I'd include ...
One Track Mind: Darol Anger and Mike Marshall "Donna Lee" (1988)
By Pico I know exactly what our own Mark Saleski speaks of when he states that “music obsessives and regular folks alike know of the song/memory retrieval phenomenon—you hear a song and instantly remember where you were the first time you heard it." Moreover, a song can also be forever associated with an event in your ...
The Friday Morning Listen, 9/11 Special Edition: Greg Brown - In the Hills of California (2004)
By Mark Saleski OK, so tomorrow is the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. This has been approaching and I'd been hoping to have something enlightening to say about it, but so far...well...let's just say that I'm still waiting for some inspiration. Also, let's just say that ...
The Joel Yennior Trio - Big City Circus (2010)
By Mark SaleskiSo they were picking up the band instruments, holding them high in the air, and looking for interested faces. When I saw that gleaming trombone, I just knew that I had to learn it. It was seventh grade and the middle school music teacher was looking for students. Just the thought of playing that ...
Jenny and Johnny - I'm Having Fun Now (2010)
These kind of pairings are not supposed to work. It goes against the laws of pop music nature. Take any number of well-known and successful musicians, put them together, stir, and what you usually get is something not even worth the time it takes to watch the product swirl down the drain. Yes, it's the dreaded ...
One Track Mind: Bill Frisell "Live to Tell" (1992)
By Mark Saleski Bill Frisell has often been referred to as the mad scientist of the guitar. His good friend Gary Larson goes the idea one better, that Frisell has a team of mad scientists living inside of his brain. The notion is a funny one, because the stereotype of the wild-haired & wild-mannered man in ...
Pat Metheny - Secret Story (1992)
By Nick Deriso The cover art for “Secret Story" on Geffen is telling: There's no central image, but a dizzying patchwork of photographs. The lineup is much the same: Leave it to Pat Metheny to make a solo album with about 80 other players—including everybody from the Metheny Group and a good portion of the London ...
Soulive - Rubber Soulive (2010)
By Pico As the most popular pop band of all time, it naturally follows that the Beatles have been the most-covered band of all time. Their songs' popularity has extended into every form of music, and that greasy, soulful organ jazz has been no exception. Before the Beatles were even history, Lonnie Smith was covering “Eleanor ...
Jon Irabagon Featuring Barry Altschul - Foxy (2010)
By Pico When Jon Irabagon signed with the mighty Concord Records after bagging the 2008 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition for saxophone, you might assume that he would have left behind his wild side to become a more “serious" player. But his continued involvement in the gangsta jazz group Mostly Other People Do The Killing quickly ...
