This highly anticipated official debut by Tapers Choice more than delivers on the band’s premise as a critical torchbearer for the jam band sound. In fact this group might redeem the premise of “jam band” for many listeners. They truly deliver as the highest tier of […]
This self-titled debut introduces the world to the new fusion group Saha Gnawa. Across 8 spectacular tracks they fuse Moroccan Gnawa music with modern jazz fusion and more than a dash of psychedelic rock influence. Gnawa is a rhythmic, string based music that’s one of many […]
This is a sublime meeting of the minds between two legends, and the result is a stunning cross genre masterpiece. UK dub/step titan Kevin Richard Martin (aka The Bug) and PNW metal pioneer Dylan Carlson initially linked up (via visual artist Simon Fowler) to collaborate on […]
Barry Walker Jr is a singular pedal steel player whose influence and presence across cosmic country and ambient americana is inescapable. He has recorded with many wonderful groups and often graces stages and festivals across the US as a central piece of psychedelic country/rock/jam legends Rose […]

Seiichi is widely known as the lead guitarist/multi-instrumentalist for intentionally renowned groups […]

This is a personal favorite album of mine from a wonderful one-time trio consisting of two electronic guitarists and one drum machine programmer. That might sound out of place for jazz fans unfamiliar with the mastery of Ikue Mori, but her beautiful percussion speaks for itself. […]
This is a concert film and live album from one of my very favorite bands, psychedelic pop legends Vanishing Twin. It’s excellent as a watch or a listen with the theatrics and the raw musicianship both being top notch. The version of the band documented here […]
