David Torn: Only Sky

Read "Only Sky" reviewed by Mario Calvitti


Nonostante gli oltre trent'anni di carriera -l'esordio discografico risale al 1982 con la pubblicazione di Everyman Band, primo di due album per ECM del gruppo omonimo -il chitarrista David Torn rimane un personaggio difficile da inquadrare. Un po' per il suo continuo e incessante girovagare tra label discografiche e progetti musicali, (compreso anche il dedicarsi a ...

Steve Gadd: Consummate Drummer

Read "Steve Gadd: Consummate Drummer" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke


It might be easier to list who drummer Steve Gadd hasn't played with since he got a pair of drum sticks at the age of three at his home near Rochester, NY, right up to the age of 70, where this year his tour of duty includes Eric Clapton, James Taylor and his own band. Gadd ...

only sky

Read "only sky" reviewed by John Kelman


Despite a career that now goes back over three decades, the relative infrequency of releases from guitarist and sound sculptor David Torn renders any new one, at the very least, a cause for speculation...if not enthusiastic anticipation. Beyond the soundtracks that have become one piece of the puzzle that defines who Torn is--and acting as engineer ...

Live at the Orpheum

Read "Live at the Orpheum" reviewed by John Kelman


It was the reunion nobody expected. After years of touring in circumstances less than ideal--and, for him, distinctly and increasingly unpleasant-- co-founder and only remaining original member Robert Fripp was as clear as can be that he was done with his flagship group King Crimson. A brief four-city, eleven-date 2008 tour--with a revamped version of the ...

Pat Mastelotto / Tobias Ralph: ToPaRaMa

Read "ToPaRaMa" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


The King Crimson connection is inherent on this program by two powerhouse drummers Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, David Sylvian) and Tobias Ralph (Defunkt, Adrian Belew Power Trio). After performing via a dual-drumming attack for the spinoff The Crimson ProjeKCt, they sensed profuse synergy and capitalized on this aura by venturing into the studio, here featuring contributions ...

Robert Fripp: Across Four Decades with Brian Eno and Theo Travis

Read "Robert Fripp: Across Four Decades with Brian Eno and Theo Travis" reviewed by John Kelman


In a professional career now approaching 50 years, guitarist Robert Fripp may be at his most visible when he's finding that “way of doing things" that necessitates the return of his flagship King Crimson--its recently revived and revitalized seven-piece, three-drummer lineup completing its 20-date American debut tour in early October 2014, including two exhilarating nights at ...

Nguyen Le With Michael Gibbs & NDR Bigband: Celebrating The Dark Side Of The Moon

Read "Nguyen Le With Michael Gibbs & NDR Bigband: Celebrating The Dark Side Of The Moon" reviewed by Ian Patterson


It's a bold concept; take Pink Floyd's iconic Dark Side of the Moon (Harvest, 1973) and reinterpret it in a big band jazz setting. With upwards of forty million copies sold, every note, every nuance of Floyd's eighth album is so firmly entrenched in the minds of the band's legion devotees that to tamper with the ...
