Truth And Consequence
By

Consequence of Chaos
For over three decades,
Al Di Meola has expanded the boundaries of guitar in terms of technique, style,

Divine Steel
By
Dean Truitt
Colorblind
While rock music is generally not known for spawning virtuosos to the same degree
as the jazz or classical fields, the genre has yielded a select few who have so
completely rewritten the language and range of expression on their instruments
that their seismic wake influences other artists to approach music with an entirely
new outlook.

Ptricia Barber:
By

...Until We Felt Red
Looking back through almost any musician’s (or band’s) catalog, one
will typically find that the early material is generally superior to later work.
Though there have been many debatable excpeptions to this trend, most creative
types tend to repeat themselves or become complacent.

It has been two
years since pianist Brad Mehldau’s last studio release. While Largo
was very much about the collaboration of Mehldau with producer Jon Brion, Mehldau’s
newest installment comes as a return to the trio sound. Anything Goes
again finds Mehldau with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy. The
three jazzmen have captured a truly visceral group sound, while retaining a
high level of smart interplay.
