Phish: Chicago '94
by Doug Collette
With the exception of the deservedly lavish package of The Clifford Ball (Rhino/Jemp, 2009), Phish has allowed its music to speak for itself on virtually all the group's archive releases. Chicago '94 follows suit, as this six-CD set--like the similarly conceived Hampton/Winston-Salem '97 (Jemp, 2011)--makes its statement through the largely brilliant musicianship contained therein, with virtually ...
Yes: Open Your Eyes
by Glenn Astarita
Not well-received among diehard Yes fans, Open Your Eyes was originally released in 1997, and reissued here, in LP format, in 2012. Nowhere as prominent or striking as the band's classic '70s outings, here keyboardist Rick Wakeman is absent and replaced by keyboardist/guitarist Billy Sherwood, who lines up with eminent guitarist and longtime member Steve Howe. ...
Yes - In the Present: Live from Lyon (2011)
There was at least one benefit to the departure of Jon Anderson from Yes in 2008: The presence of new lead singer Benoit David immediately opened the door for a rewrite of what had become a very rote setlist. Anderson had always refused, for instance, to sing tunes from Yes' guitar-driven 1980 release Drama, recorded during ...
Steven Wilson: Montreal, Canada, November 15, 2011
by John Kelman
Steven WilsonCorona TheatreMontreal, Canada November 15, 2011 For many of the mid-Baby Boomer era, the gateway drug to jazz was progressive rock. That's not to suggest that the more structured and, some might say, bombastic environs of late 1960s/early 1970s groups like Yes or Emerson, Lake and Palmer had a whole ...
Roine Stolt and Neal Morse: Degrees of Separation
by John Kelman
2011 has been a banner year for progressive rock, the genre that emerged in the late 1960s, peaked in the mid 1970s, and was threatened with extinction (certainly from a commercial perspective) with the advent of punk and new wave. Of course, prog never went away, and the music of seminal bands such as King Crimson, ...

Chris Combs: Jacob Fred's Tulsa Tale
by Daniel Lehner
On a Memorial Day in 1921 Tulsa, Oklahoma, an encounter between a young black shoe shiner named Dick Rowland and a white elevator operator named Sarah Page--an incident that was reported with hazy details and shocking incompleteness--started one of the most brutal and tragic race riots in American history. Even more tragic, however, was how little ...
Styx / Yes: Wantagh, NY, July 11, 2011
by Mike Perciaccante

Yes - Fly from Here (2011)
This album is, in many ways, better than it has any right to be. Yes had already tried a project with Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes—and without Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman—in 1980, and the resulting project Drama turned into an guitar-focused curio. The group went back to the drawing board, adding Trevor Rabin as Steve ...
Take Five With Okan Ersan
by AAJ Staff
Meet Okan Ersan: Born in 1972 on the Northern part of Cyprus, Okan Ersan had the distinctive opportunity to be influenced by the melodies of the east ethnic beats and roots of the oriental Mediterranean. Following his BA degree in classical music, Ersan then blended rock and jazz to create the eclectic fusion of ...
