The Derek Trucks Band: Live At The Georgia Theatre
by Doug Collette
The development of the Derek Trucks Band has followed a progression that appears to be the perfect marketing plan. But there’s nothing any more contrived about the sequence of events than there is simply the music itself. The release of the band's diverse major label debut, Joyful Noise , segued smoothly to the next year’s almost-all ...

by Joel Roberts
Mark O'Connor is hotter than hot these days. The onetime country fiddler's best-selling, Grammy- winning classical albums have made him that rarest of things: a crossover artist whose genre-hopping is less about marketing than serious creative expression and boundless musical ambition.

But ...

Charlie Christian: The Genius Of The Electric Guitar
by Jim Santella
The Benny Goodman Sextet opened doors. When guitarist Charlie Christian would take a solo, he’d express the ideas that made jazz what it is. He and vibraphonist Lionel Hampton had a lot of solo space in those sessions. Their improvisation set standards. Take “Boy Meets Goy (Grand Slam),” for example. It’s a boogie-woogie in the swing ...
