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.

From one of my favorite out of print albums, Animal Logic . "There's A Spy (In The House Of Love)" I have blogged about Animal Logic (both the group and the album) before, which makes this quite possibly the only blog in the entire blogosphere with two posts devoted to the now-disbanded group.

"Pedal Up" by Rahsaan Roland Kirk After the intro, Kirk feels around for the mikes, to make sure they’re in the right place, and starts playing both saxophones slung around his neck. During this tune, he remembers a few of his favorite things for a few moments, like a seemingly random thought that pops up in the middle of a conversation. At the end, he’s gone full blown and his...

‘Hearing’ Meshell Again by Mark Anthony Neal Part of the initial appeal of Meshell Ndegeocello, one off the first artists signed to Madonna’s Maverick label, was her effortless exoticism. Arriving on the scene in 1993 with Plantation Lullabies and seemingly from a nether post somewhere between Trey Ellis’s “new black aesthetic” and Biggie’s “Big Poppa,”...
