Stewy von Wattenwyl Generations Band: Live at Marians
by Dan McClenaghan
Swiss pianist Stewy von Wattenwyl blasts into this high energy set, Live at Marians, with a blistering one-two punch of Wes Montgomery's “Fried Pies" and John Coltrane's “Moments Notice."

In the Court of the Crimson King (40th Anniversary Series)
by John Kelman
It was, quite simply, a sound that shook the music world. When King Crimson emerged from the dust of the considerably more oblique and largely absurd trio of Giles, Giles and Fripp--whose one release, The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp (Deram, 1968), was aptly titled--nobody could have anticipated that this group would literally change ...
