Free Nelson Mandoomjazz: Awakening of a Capital
by Mario Calvitti
Questo trio di musicisti scozzesi, basato in Edinburgo, è salito recentemente alla ribalta con due EP pubblicati da una etichetta indipendente, con titoli che rimandavano esplicitamente a Ornette Coleman (The Shape of Doomjazz to Come) e Sonny Rollins (Saxophone Giganticus), e una musica che ai riferimenti jazzistici aggiungeva quelli a Black Sabbath e Domenico Scarlatti, mescolando ...
Linley Hamilton Quintet at Black Box
by Ian Patterson
Linley Hamilton Quintet Black Box Belfast, Ireland March 13, 2015 Since the launch of In Transition (Lyte Records, 2014) at the Brilliant Corners festival last March, the Linley Hamilton Quintet has gigged only sporadically. With members split between Dublin, Port Laoise and Belfast, geography plays its part to a degree. However, ...

Andy Sheppard Quartet at Bristol Jazz & Blues Festival 2015
by Ian Patterson
Andy Sheppard Quartet Colston Hall Bristol Jazz & Blues Festival Bristol March 7, 2015 A “local hero" is how the emcee described saxophonist/composer Andy Sheppard.

Haken: The Mountain
by John Kelman
Haken The MountainInside Out Records2013 For a group as young as Britain's Haken to find The Mountain selected by Prog Magazine's readers as one of “The 100 Greatest Prog Albums Albums of All Time"--and at an über-respectable position of #54--is a remarkable enough feat for a group with only two albums ...
Live From Birmingham: The Mavericks, Hawkwind, Focus & The Handsome Family
by Martin Longley
The Mavericks Symphony Hall March 1, 2015 Perhaps The Mavericks should be worried about their audience demographic. At least when they're hitting Birmingham. It's unusual for most of a band's followers to be older than the players themselves, but this seemed to be the case at their almost-sold out ...
Rick Wakeman and The English Rock Ensemble: Out Of The Blue
by Glenn Astarita
Rick Wakeman (Yes, Strawbs) and Keith Emerson (The Nice, Emerson, Lake & Palmer) were among the primary catalysts of the infant 70s progressive rock scene and helped elevate the genre into a viable art-form, steeped in multifaceted electro-acoustic components with a concentrated focus on superior musicianship. With dazzling virtuosity and heavy use of Moog synths, complementing ...
Patrick Naylor: Days of Blue
by Roger Farbey
"Baba" opens this album by British guitarist Patrick Naylor, with a middle eastern-tinged sax melody embellished with fast, acrobatic interplay between guitar and sax. Vocalist Stephanie O'Brien guests on the exquisitely executed song “Naggar" with elegant cello from Natalie Rozario, and this is all underpinned by graceful accordion from Daniel Teper. On “Rifferama" Naylor's ...
Led Zeppelin: Physical Graffiti (Deluxe Edition)
by John Kelman
After nearly five years that saw the group release five albums--from 1969's earth-shattering eponymous debut to 1973's less consistent Houses of the Holy (all on Atlantic Records)--and incessant touring that saw the group break numerous attendance records and reach the top of the charts worldwide, Led Zeppelin finally took a much-needed break in 1974. Still, while ...
