Trio Sud: Young and Fine
by John Kelman
Trio Sud Young and Fine Dreyfus Jazz2008 It's hard to believe that a guitarist as fine as France's Sylvain Luc has been so overlooked by supposedly comprehensive music sites like All Music Guide--especially with albums like today's Rediscovery, Young and Fine, featuring his Trio Sud group, out in the world. While ...
Weather Report: The Legendary Live Tapes 1978-1981
by Doug Collette
The Legendary Live Tapes 1978-1981 is a stellar package of Weather Report concert recordings focusing on that phase of this groundbreaking group's career where they were truly rock stars visiting from a jazz world. It stands as further affirmation of the constant change implied in their name as much as their continual transcendence of the jazz-rock ...
Peter Erskine: Dr. Um
by Dan Bilawsky
It would appear that this project has awakened the Peter Erskine of yore, the drummer who became legend while cresting the waves of fusion with Weather Report and Steps Ahead. In recent years Erskine's drumming has been spare, elegant, open, and, in enough instances, lightly swinging. If one word would come to mind ...
Wayne Shorter: The Blue Note Albums
by Maurizio Zerbo
Cinque ore di musica sublime per immergersi nell'universo shorteriano. Per i palati sopraffini, un'occasione imperdibile per riascoltare alcune delle gemme del catalogo Blue Note. Cosa distingue queste dalle coeve incisioni hard-bop? Come ben testimonia The All Seeing Eye, è il proiettare le più avanzate idee melodiche, armoniche e ritmiche del quintetto davisiano verso atmosfere più sospese ...

Weather Report: The Legendary Live Tapes 1978-1981
by John Kelman
While live documents from Weather Report's 16-year run continue to be unearthed, and while live albums have previously documented the group's 1978 tour, there's been precious little from its final tours of 1980/81, when the group returned more decidedly to its jazz roots with one of the best albums in its discography, 1980's Night Passage. Only ...
Three Views of Jaco: Weather Report: The Legendary Live Tapes 1978-1981 / JACO: The Film & Original Soundtrack
by John Kelman
It's hard to believe that, despite being gone for 28 years, bassist/composer Jaco Pastorius remains not just an important figure in the world of jazz, but beyond its broadest purview as well. His seemingly sudden appearance on a series of four albums in 1976 demonstrated that this was an artist with virtually no restrictions. In addition ...
