Clearly the guys of The Kevin Brady Electric Quartet are very comfortable playing together, and the immediacy and unity heard on “Airbourne” proves it.

The completely unnecessary ‘Chicago XXVI’ was just a cash grab meant to lure fans into re-buying familiar songs. A flaccid bonus-track remake didn’t help.

‘5’ is a “new” set of old recordings by Tim Berne’s Bloodcount featuring the special sauce that guitarist Marc Ducret added to this supergroup quartet from the ’90s.

‘Attention Spam’ is a reminder that the special makeup of Tim Berne’s Bloodcount made the music itself special and this latest output is a precious capture from those short few years the ensemble was active.

ElectroBluesSociety and Boo Boo Davis make the perfect combination: the former supplies the groove and the latter brings the grit.

The first recorded original work from the longest tenured version of Yes represents a touch of the past and a new beginning.

‘Bad Times Good Times’ ably illustrates Sorrow’s forte for playing the melodically structured guitar pop linked with groups like Raspberries and Blue Ash.

Joe Bailey and Mark Anthony K join Preston Frazier to discuss the Dark Monarchy’s new album, working on two different continents and plans for what’s next.

Chicago added three inoffensive new studio songs to this concert recording, and “If I Should Ever Lose You” is the best of a half-hearted bunch.

A depth of knowledge that comes from long-term research, and Curt Bianchi’s passion for the music of Weather Report, is evident on every page.
