Vaneese Thomas Album: Down Yonder Label: Segue Genre(s): Contemporary Blues Posted By: Duane Verh
Aug 14, 2019
Review
Kicking off with the gut-punching “Ebony Man”- evoking the “story songs” that populated the soul and country charts of the ‘70’s- Vaneese Thomas works her way through a top-notch stack of soulful and lyrically meaty blues, ballads and burners. Matching her vocal power with emotional clout, track after track, Ms. T’s work here is a pride-worthy addition to the legacy of the r&b royalty that is her family. (That would be father Rufus and sister Carla). Other standouts in a kick-butt set include “I Tried”, “Second Chance” and “Last Kiss”.
Blind Lemon Jazz Album: After Hours Label: Self-Release Genre(s): Contemporary Jazz Posted By: Joe Ross
Aug 13, 2019
Review
Based in the Bay Area, James Byfield (aka Blind Lemon Pledge) is a singer, composer, guitarist and music producer. He’s proven himself quite adept with prior releases ranging from blues to rock, folk to Americana. Now showcasing a new side to his eclectic musicianship, “After Hours,” subtitled “New Pages in the American Songbook,” features 13 of Byfield’s jazz compositions. His vision was to present the type of music one might have been heard at late night sessions in a Harlem club of the late 1930s and 40s. To that effect, he enlisted vocalist Marisa Malvino, pianist Ben Flint, bassist Peter Grenell and drummer Joe Kelner to bring these songs to life with vivacity and verve. The result is a fine performance that emphasizes inventive writing that’s just as emphatic as it needs to be. He combines eclectic tastes and wry humor into both nostalgic
Steve Eulberg Album: Between The Tracks Label: Owl Mountain Genre(s): Alternative Folk Posted By: Robert Silverstein
Aug 12, 2019
Review
Based in San Mateo, California, acoustic guitarist Steve Eulberg released his ninth solo recording in August 2019. The 13-track, 44 minute CD, called Between The Tracks, is a fine offering of relaxing, modern solo guitar magic that serves up a wide range of jazzy and bluesy acoustic instrumentals. On the inside of the tastefully packaged digi-pak artwork you can see a picture of Steve with his nylon string guitar. Guitars featured on Between The Tracks include a Huss & Dalton DS and a Cordoba Fusion 14 Maple. Steve’s track by track anecdotes are accompanied by his detailed liner notes, which describes early guitar influences such as Mason Williams, well known jazzy guitar-centric artists including Earl Klugh and Antonio Carlos Jobim, as well as finger-style guitar-centric pop artists like John Denver and Jim Croce. In his notes, Steve cites the late great Pete Huttlinger,
Izz Album: Don't Panic Label: Doone Genre(s): Progressive Rock Posted By: Robert Silverstein
Aug 11, 2019
Review
Tri-state NY/NJ based prog-rock band IZZ continues breaking new ground for the genre with their ninth album, the 2019 CD release of Don’t Panic. Kicking off with the title track, the 5-track, 44 minute Don’t Panic features several extended play tracks, including the 18-minute album centerpiece called “42”, which is dedicated to Brooklyn Dodgers baseball icon Jackie Robinson. Also worth hearing is the orchestral flair of the 2-part title track which is brilliantlly connected to the CD-closer “Age Of Stars”, and a surperbly executed, Yes-inspired, 10-minute instrumental tour-de-force called “Moment Of Inertia”—the latter a fiery track that all but establishes IZZ as a formidable jazz-rock fusion band. Guitarist Paul Bremer plays brilliantly on the entire album and even gets to shine on his own with the solo acoustic guitar venture
The John Irvine Band Album: Metaphysical Attractions Label: Self-Release Genre(s): Fusion Posted By: Robert Silverstein
Aug 11, 2019
Review
For the follow up album to his 2015 album Next Stop, Scotland's great jazz-rock fusion guitar ace John Irvine returned in early 2019 with his third group masterpiece called Metaphysical Attractions. For this release John has assembled an entire new band, including Rich Kass (drums) with added contributions from Rob Ironside (sax) and Gwen Kelso (flute). Primarily featuring John and drummer Rich Kass, the eight cut Metaphysical Attractions sizzles with a dynamic, instrumental jazz-rock fusion magic. Rounding out the album, John also merges his keyboard and bass work into the mix making the album sound even more complete. Mixed and mastered by Stuart Hamilton in Pencaitland, Scotland, John Irvine Band's Metaphysical Attractions takes the 21st century guitar-centric, jazz-fusion sound in some sonically astounding directions. Listeners lucky enough to have heard John Irvine’s
