I suppose we should get this out of the way first: I am not comfortable with the allusion by Ninkasi's Sleigh'r to the thrash metal band Slayer. Afficianados of heavy metal will assure you that Slayer is full of more thrashy goodness than the competition (Metallica partisans notwithstanding). I am not an afficianado. (I'm more of a Ponytail , Eels , Tom Waits, Miles Davis kind of man.) But I can forgive...
Marcus Miller - Tutu Revisited plus Gary Husband's Drive, (Barbican, London Jazz Festival. 22 November 2009, Review by Rob Mallows) As Marcus Miller explained to the Barbican audience, Miles Davis was never one to go back and repeat himself. In revisiting 1985's Tutu, Miller's idea was to approach it with a group of younger musicians and demonstrate its relevance almost a quarter of a century on....
Angie Stone - Unexpected Worth it? Not as good as Mahogany Soul , but that's not much of a statement. Give Unexpected a shot if you're a fan. Otherwise check out her old stuff and keep it moving. Birdman - Pricele$$ Wo... No. Bill Cosby - The Cosnarati: State of Emergency Worth it? You know, for all the rap-bashing Mr. Cosby -- one of my all-time favorite comics, so don't take this as disrespectful...
It's a curious irony that at a time when entire music collections can be shrunk down to the size of a couple of sticks of gum, certain music packages keep getting larger. Hot on the heels of the much-celebrated remastered Beatles sets, Sony Legacy is releasing "Miles Davis: The Complete Columbia Album Collection," a beautiful but somewhat daunting stockpile of 52 albums on more than 70 CDs...
As the year winds down, the number of new releases dwindles but reissues and box sets are definitely gaining momentum. A handful of box sets are the highlights of this week's music release list. Miles Davis: The Complete Columbia...

Sometimes a break can be the best thing a musician can take. Not getting tired by any means, if a four-year sabbatical from recording as a leader results in as strong a comeback as reedman Myron Walden's, perhaps artists should take breaks more often. A charter member of drummer {{Brian Blade = 5053}}'s Fellowship Band, Walden is back with not one, but three CDs over the next couple months. The first,...
From one angle, the career of the saxophonist Steve Grossman might seem to have unfolded in reverse. He came onto the radar in 1969, playing state-of-the-art jazz-rock with Miles Davis; he was all of 18. From that sideman perch, among the most visible in jazz, he went on to play rugged, horizon-scanning postbop in the style of John Coltrane, notably with Coltranes former drummer Elvin Jones. Then came...
