Keefe Jackson/Josh Berman/Jon Rune Strøm/Tollef Østvang: Southern Sun

Grateful Dead – Dick's Picks Volume Four: Fillmore East 2/13-14/70
by Doug Collette
Quite apart from the the scintillating performances spread over (the first ever release of) three CD's on the Grateful Dead's Dick's Picks Volume 4, this title has all the earmarks of a classic entry into this seminal archive series. It was recorded at the fabled Fillmore East, the now defunct New York City venue operated by ...
Al Di Meola: Elysium
by Doug Collette
Virtually all of guitarist Al DiMeola's recordings since the days of Return to Forever are listenable to a greater or lesser degree, but his last couple have been truly exceptional. A genuine affection for the Beatles permeates All Your Life (In-Akustik, 2013) and the comparably deep, lush textures of the ever-so-appropriately titled Elysium are rooted in ...

And that's reflective of the music inside which, appropriately enough for such a stripped-down duo approach, emphasizes the man's well-wrought material and an effervescent performing ...

by Alberto Bazzurro
Alla non banale soglia degli ottant'anni, compiuti lo scorso 20 aprile, Ran Blake se ne esce con tre nuovi lavori che in parte ribadiscono concetti già noti (almeno nei suoi percorsi più recenti) e in parte ne insinuano di meno battuti. Ran Blake Ghost Tones: Portraits of George Russell ...
