Bonobos Convergence: Who's Chuck Fimp?
by Walter Kolosky
I know what you are thinking. Who are the bonobos and why are they converging? I wondered too. A little bit of research informed me that the bonobo is considered the most “human-like of the chimpanzees. They share many of our hand gestures and facial expressions, and will even walk upright when they want to. Scientists ...

Carl Orr: Deep Down
by Walter Kolosky
Deep Down is quite a departure for jazz, rock and funk fusioneer Carl Orr. The guitarist has been known to use some pretty heavy-duty distortion and effects over the years, in Billy Cobham's band and his own groups. This outing is an effort to make more with less. Orr eliminates most of the distortion and treble ...
John McLaughlin: Industrial Zen

His most recent CD, Looking Through, was quite impressive and set a very high bar for subsequent efforts. Tesar and Levier are heard for the first ...

You never know where the trip will take you. One day you are a teenaged musician sharing the stage with the greatest jazz and rock players in the world. Another day, thirty years later, you are comfortably ensconced in your own recording studio laying down tracks for the hit TV series The Amazing Race.
Carl Orr: Absolute Freedom
by Walter Kolosky
Recently those of us who write for All About Jazz were asked to submit our top ten choices for the best CD of 2004. Unfortunately for Carl Orr, I did not get to hear his 2004 release until 2005. English guitarist Orr, who spent his formative years in Australia, has been around for ...
