Jaco Pastorius: Modern American Music…Period! The Criteria Sessions
by John Kelman
1976 was, for electric bassists, the year where everything changed. Jaco Pastorius hadn't quite emerged from nowhere, and the few prior recordings on which he could be found may have provided some hint of what was to come, but it was the quadruple punch of fellow legend-in-the-making Pat Metheny's leader debut Bright Size Life (ECM, 1976), ...

by Bruce Lindsay
With just three tunes and 25 minutes running time, the self-titled debut recording from Trio HSK can never be accused of over-burdening the listener with the sheer quantity of its musical outpourings. Quality, however, is present in abundance. The trio, based in Edinburgh, features the relatively unusual lineup of Richard Harrold's piano, David Series' ...
