Various Artists: Mahavishnu Redefined: A Tribute to John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra
by John Kelman
With guitar icon John McLaughlin's greater visibility, thanks to recent tours with his 4th Dimension group and Five Peace Band collaboration with pianist Chick Corea, there's been a flurry of reassessment of his vast and vital output as a repertory source. Drummer Gregg Bendian's Mahavishnu Project delivered first-time performances with Return to the Emerald Beyond (Cuneiform, ...
Various Artists: Anthology of Swing Strings (1930s-1950s): Professor Visits Harlem or Swingin
by Andrew Velez
The strings go zing-zinging on Professor Visits Harlem. Quite unlike any other anthology you're likely to have run into of late, we're treated to three decades of jazz string ensembles, starting off “Two Violins One Siday," a group whose 1931 take on “Dinah" is very finah.

If there's such a thing as a cliche about the only Christmas-themed compilation you'll ever need, then this one was made to justify its existence as it's probably that very thing. It's a riot too, of the sort likely to upset the purist as it takes in both Booker T. And The M.G's and the Ramones. ...
Various Artists: 55 Years Of Blues
by Nic Jones
Surely over half a century is more than long enough for anyone to have the blues? Well in Delmark's case the answer's a resounding negative, especially in view of what's on offer here. The very position of the label has of course ensured that it's documented the Chicago scene closely, but as this compilation shows that's ...
