Special Consensus is coming up on 50 years, and bandleader Greg Cahill is still going strong. Here’s a look at three key LPs that shaped his career.

Together on Hybrid’s ‘Movable Objects’ Adam Larson, Clark Sommers and John Kizilarmut have created a brisk and enchanting 40-minute listen.

A new reissue of ‘Out-Pop Options’ and ‘Any Questions?’ from Carl Weingarten’s Delay Tactics shows that great prog music survived 1977’s big punk asteroid.

There’s been a long road to Mark Bacino’s fourth album – but it was well worth it.

Jason Stein has made many very good records before, but in reaching deep inside himself, he came forth with a truly great one with ‘Anchors.’

Narada Michael Walden’s music and that of the artists he works with varies intriguingly from genre to genre. So do the albums that shaped his career.

‘Live in Someplace Nice’ is a welcome addition to the thin catalog of the short-lived endlessly inventive duo of Tim Berne and Bill Frisell.

Sylvester has enjoyed a surge in popularity in the decades after his death. ‘Live at the Opera House’ gives new listeners over two hours of reasons why.

With ‘Breaking Stretch,’ Patricia Brennan continues to build upon her uniquely inventive style of jazz simply by building up her ensemble.

Long-time Protocol leader and former Toto drummer Simon Phillips returns with ‘Five Steps on the Sun’ from multi-instrumentalist DarWin’s self-titled group.
