Tommaso Starace: Italian Short Stories
by Bruce Lindsay
Some musicians appear to conjure their tunes from thin air, others work with raw material furnished by the great composers, still others take their inspirations from many different sources and give them due acknowledgement. Saxophonist Tommaso Starace is in the latter camp. This lyrical, engaging, player's second album, Tommaso Starace Plays The Photos Of Elliot Erwitt ...
The Who: Tommy Deluxe Edition 2013
by Doug Collette
The white-hot intensity with which The Who play their rock opera on the second deluxe edition almost, but not quite, renders moot any reservations about the concept of the package. Far from merely coasting in the afterglow of the appearance at Woodstock that galvanized the band as much as the audience, the quartet sounds flush with ...
Ambrose Akinmusire: Painting Saviors
by DanMichael Reyes
Trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire (pronounced ah-kin-MOO-sir-ee) is as imaginative as the sonic soundscapes he creates and as informative as the titles that he bestows on his songs. Ambrose Akinmusire's allure stems from the complexity of his albums; a complexity that requires the listener to fully participate and engage with the artist and ask questions as to who ...
Takuya Kuroda: Rising Son
by DanMichael Reyes
Awards aren't handed down to individuals that proclaim how tough it is to live in New York. Likewise, it's not news to write that the life of the modern day jazz musician is difficult. If we follow the past two sentences we might come to the conclusion that the life of a New York jazz musician ...
Trombone Shorty: Say That to Say This
by Chris M. Slawecki
For his third Verve album, Troy Andrews, a/k/a Trombone Shorty, and his band Orleans Avenue go back to school--more precisely, back to the slippery yet organic “old school" sound of R&B, soul and funk, thanks to contributions from composer, instrumentalist and co-producer Raphael Saadiq, formerly of the soul vocal group Tony!Toni!Toné! How does Shorty describe his ...
Eric Clapton's "Give Me Strength: The 1974/75 Recordings" 6-Disc Box Due November 26
In early 1974, after a three-year absence that followed Eric Clapton’s major success with Derek and the Dominos’ seminal album Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs, which sealed his stature as one of rock's most revered guitarists, a rejuvenated and musically refreshed Clapton stepped into the recording studio and staged a massive resurgence with his 1974/1975 ...

Alice Coltrane: Huntington Ashram Monastery / World Galaxy
by Chris M. Slawecki
Composer, pianist, keyboard player, harpist and bandleader Alice (McLeod) Coltrane married John Coltrane in 1965. She played in her husband's band until his passing in 1967 but his influence remained strong throughout her music thereafter. Few of her albums reflect this influence more strongly than Huntington Ashram Monastery, recorded in 1969, and World Galaxy, recorded in ...
