Dick Oatts/Mats Holmquist New York Jazz Orchestra, 'A Tribute To Herbie +1,' Summit [REVIEW]
Self-Titled Golden State Lone Star Blues Revue Debut is a Veritable Wang-Dang Doodle [REVIEW]
It's a party. Billed as a "Blues Supergroup," the self-titled Golden State Lone Star Blues Revue debut (Electro-Fi Records) is a stone-cold "Wang Dang Doodle" of epic proportions (although they don't cover that 1961 Howlin' Wolf hit, they just epitomize it) Come to think of it, they should have. Just put this sucker on the box and let her rip over and over again. Sonny Rollins is 'Holding The Stage:Road Shows Volume #4' on New Doxy Records Release [REVIEW]
What a rare treasure chest! For the fourth installment of the greatest living tenor saxophonist's look-back at cherished in-concert moments (this one spanning 1979-2012), 'Holding The Stage' by Sonny Rollins, 85, is highlight after highlight until it ends and then you just want to play it over and over again.
