Big Train: Travels

Read "Travels" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

Race!!!: Travels

Read "Travels" reviewed by James Taylor


Sometimes the best music can be found brewing beneath the surface--on the underground, as they say. Sacramento, California's Race!!! is a case in a point. The quintet, led by guitarist Ross Hammond, mixes Bitches Brew-style Miles with a touch of hard bop groove and an affinity for the avant-garde. Race's Prescott debut, Travels, was released late ...
