Jeff Lorber: Flipside (2005) Review Jeff Lorber: Flipside (2005) Review While it didn't win the Grammy, Flipside was deservedly nominated for "Best Pop Instrumental Performance" in 2005. Over the years, Jeff Lorber has had success as a performer, producer, arranger,…
Ray Obiedo: Perfect Crime (1989) Ray Obiedo: Perfect Crime (1989) Ray Obiedo's excellent debut release was followed by five more over the next 10 years, after which he seemingly disappeared from the music scene. While the decline in jazz recording artist contracts…
Ray Obiedo: Sweet Summer Days (1997) Ray Obiedo: Sweet Summer Days (1997) While all six of Ray Obiedo's CD's are quite good, I'd have to say this one was the "sweetest". If I had to rank them, I would place Sweet Summer Days a very close second to his debut release: …
Mike Stern: Between The Lines (1996) Mike Stern: Between The Lines (1996) Let's establish one thing from the start: Mike Stern is one of the greatest jazz guitarists of our time. He is unique stylistically, musically, and technically. By the time this CD was released,…
Tom Petty: Highway Companion (2006) Tom Petty: Highway Companion (2006) Tom Petty was recently quoted in USA Today as saying that he feels "relevant." And for a 55 year-old rock star to feel relevant in today's "flavor-of-the-month" music scene is really saying…
WOLFMOTHER (2006) CD Review WOLFMOTHER (2006) CD Review So you find yourself in your 1970's kitchen hankerin' for some classic rock. Let's say you start with some Zeppelin, then stir in some Rush and Styx, and for good measure, a sprinkle of Spinal Tap.…
Dave Weckl Band: Synergy (1999) Dave Weckl Band: Synergy (1999) Dave Weckl's fifth CD would have been just another good one in a string of many save one thing: the addition of guitar great Buzz Feiten to his usual outstanding rhythm section of Tommy Kennedy on…
The Bittersweets – The Life You Always Wanted (2006) The Bittersweets – The Life You Always Wanted (2006) If you are like me, turning on the tv or radio these days can be discouraging. What is passing for music in the mainstream today is depressing. American Idol has actually become a legitimate…
Rodney Lee: The Satellite Orchestra (2006) Rodney Lee: The Satellite Orchestra (2006) You could say this is the review I've been waiting over 20 years to write; I've known Rodney Lee since the day we walked into our first Jazz Ensemble rehearsal at the University of Texas in Austin,…
Fourplay: X (2006) Fourplay: X (2006) Fourplay X may be their strongest release in over 10 years, and is a welcome relief after their previous weak outing (Journey). It's nice to see this jazz super-group still going strong at ten CD's,…
