Double Scale: Double Scale
by Dave Hughes
Keyboardist Doc Powell produced and played keyboards and composed most of the tunes on the CD titledDouble Scale, yet his name appears nowhere on the cover. Perhaps he's still under contract with another label. Whatever the case, this clearly Powell's project, although he takes a background roll throughout much of the disc. Each tune ...
Craig Chaquico & Russ Freeman: From the Redwoods to the Rockies

In 1998, Russ Freeman took a break from the Rippingtons to team up with fellow guitarist Craig Chaquico to produce musical journeyFrom the Redwoods to the Rockies.

On their 22nd album, it's clear that Spyro Gyra has stillGot the Magic.

On some songs, the acoustic guitars and/or percussion paint an aural picture of serene, wide-open spaces with ...
Tom Scott & the L. A. Express: Smokin' Section
by Dave Hughes
I am puzzled by the marketing of the new Tom Scott albumSmokin' Sectionas "Tom Scott & the L. A. Express," since there seems to be no identifiable group "feel" to this program, and the tunes were recorded with three different contingents of studio musicians. But this quibble aside, this is one of Scott's best ...
Earl Klugh: Peculiar Situation

Earl Klugh's Windham Hill Jazz debut, titledPeculiar Situation, isn't really peculiar at all, it's mostly a familiar situation. Klugh's music has always been presented in semi-glossy productions, from his earliest outings under Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen's touch to the majority of his releases which have been self-produced. His music is always easy on ...
