The Beatles: 'Revolver' Reissue
Revolver was recorded between April and June in 1966 and released that August 5th. I was 9 when Revolver came out but the album never wound up in my hands. I'm not sure why. The omission might have had to do with my gift-giving extended family's disapproval of an album named for a gun. Or maybe ...
Donald Fagen: An Essential Top 10 Albums
by Peter Jones
Actually, the whole notion of a Donald Fagen Top Ten is tricky. Artists like Chet Baker made well over a hundred albums, whereas in half a century Fagen has only released 13 official studio albums, whether with Steely Dan or under his own name, along with a handful of live sets.

Brian Auger and the Trinity: Far Horizons
by Peter Jones

by Jacob Blickenstaff
Some jazz aficionados might characterize pianist Ramsey Lewis' music as a gateway into more serious jazz, as if popular Lewis albums like The In Crowd (Verve, 1965) were meant to lead novice listeners to saxophonist Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come (Atlantic, 1959). But Lewis' commercial successes should not be viewed as a liability ...

by Doug Collette

Vidya: The Papillon
by Kyle Simpler
Songwriting often provides a sense of exploration and self-discovery which is not as present in other art forms.

Her album The Papillon ...
