David Crosby, Boz Scaggs and Marc Ribot headline S. Victor Aaron’s Best of 2018 list for non-jazz albums.

“Tale of a Man” may well be the greatest song on ‘Toto XX’ – and that’s amazing, since the album is full of classics.

The Embrooks’ highly anticipated ‘We Who Are’ represents a welcome, positive and long-overdue comeback.

35 years ago, Johnny Winter returned with a great, grimy studio album where you could smell the booze and cigarettes.

Here is the advance single “Windfall,” from Jazz Funk Soul’s upcoming album ‘Life and Times.’

“No Tell Lover” isn’t the deepest song in the world, but it’s a very enjoyable track from an uneven Chicago album.

Marc Ribot and his merry little band of jazz misfits are back extending the middle finger to anything or anybody that catches their ire.

Adam Hopkins is one of the few talents with the vision to make jazz directed at the current and future generations, not the past ones.

Fifty years ago, Herbie Hancock paused to have a little cartoon-related fun. And when Herbie is having fun, his listeners usually are, too.

This best of 2018 list for hard rock and metal is capped by one mammoth record that made the whole year worth it.
