Alexis P. Suter Band: Just Stay Live, featuring Garth Hudson, Recorded Live at the Falcon
by Doug Collette
With the late Garth Hudson's photo on such prominent display in Debra Clark's graphic design for Just Stay Live, featuring Garth Hudson, Recorded Live at the Falcon, the participation of the brilliant multi-instrumentalist of The Band threatens to overshadow the other attributes of Just Stay Live, most conspicuous of which is the courageous choice of material. ...
Pink Floyd: Live from the Los Angeles Sports Arena, April 26th 1975
by Doug Collette

Ghalia Volt: Burn The House Down
by Doug Collette
It is certainly no coincidence that Ghalia Volt's adopted moniker suggests power, specifically the electric sort. Anglicized from the original Belgian, the name intimates dynamism, the likes of which have similarly pervaded her previous albums, such as One Woman Band (Ruf Records, 2021), though not to the same degree as Burn The House Down. The music ...
Phil Haynes and Bobby Broom: Empathetic Abandon
by Doug Collette
Across the broad spectrum of jazz, courage takes many forms. In the case of percussionist Phil Haynes and guitarist Bobby Broom, it is the diametrically (deceptively) opposed approaches of free playing vs. carefully-crafted homage. Accordingly, the former continues his prolific and peripatetic career through the novel get-together of musicians who have never played together. Meanwhile, the ...
Lo Steele: Only A Drop
by Doug Collette
Befitting the album title, Only A Drop is a captivating but parsimonious depiction of Lo Steele's musical attributes. As such, it stands as an outline (in practical terms) for future productions with more lavish elements conjuring proportionately potent impact, but also for contemporary soul/r&b singing in general terms. In singing “Greenz," Steele sounds as ...

In that regard, the range of ...
Club D'Elf: Loon & Thrush
by Doug Collette
In overseeing Club D'Elf since its inception over 25 years ago, founder-leader-bassist Mike Rivard has maintained a core lineup around which has revolved a colorful cast of collaborators as eclectic as the music they have played. Loon & Thrush is no exception, yet its creation took place in the shadow of the passing of ...
Rick Vito And Corey Harris, Alvin Youngblood Hart & Guy Davis: Blues Brothers Indeed
by Doug Collette
Not all blues musicians play blues material exclusively. In fact, some of the most notable practitioners in the genre enhance their reputations by traveling far afield for eclectic selections that freshen their fundamental point(s) of reference. Rick Vito's Slidemaster is just such an effort, while by contrast, the triumvirate of Corey Harris, Alvin Youngblood Hart and ...
Gordon Grdina: Prolific Versatility

Gordon Grdina's restless creativity furthers his prolific nature. As a result, in recent years he has issued new albums in twos and threes and this 2026 triad follows couplets of 2021 and 2024 including solo work and efforts with various ensembles he leads such The Marrow and Square Peg. Grdina reaffirms his willingness to experiment and ...
Yelena Eckemoff: Rosendals Garden
by Doug Collette
Rosendals Garden is yet another chapter in Yelena Eckemoff's ongoing historical narrative devoted to people and places both real and imagined. Recorded in 2024 at RMV Studio, Stockholm, Sweden, by engineer Linn Final, with mixing and mastering by Stefano Amerio, the audio is as colorful and detailed as the musicianship and the packaging. Remarkably, ...
