Read "Per Sempre" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

While that's largely due to the fact that he spends so much time making other people sound better, the reason isn't important; it's an injustice, regardless of the cause. His pliant and flexible bass has been the binding agent and rhythmic-melodic-harmonic go-between responsible ...

Herbie Mann: An Amalgamation of Everything

Read "Herbie Mann:  An Amalgamation of Everything" reviewed by Bob Kenselaar

by Bob Kenselaar

[Flauist Herbie Mann was often ahead of the trend with his wide explorations into sounds from everywhere.

Stanley Clarke: The Complete 1970s Epic Albums Collection

Read "Stanley Clarke: The Complete 1970s Epic Albums Collection" reviewed by John Kelman
