Soul-jazz songstress queen Lindsey Webster succeeds not by keeping up with current trends but instead through mastering the little time-honored things.

Here is the worldwide premiere of “Them!,” from Curt Syndor’s upcoming release ‘Deep End Shallow,’ on Out of Your Head Records.

Every Necks album is a plot twist in a long-running musical riddle, and ‘Three’ keeps the story very much alive for one of the most singular bands in contemporary music.

Horse Lords make instrumentals that are largely unlike anything you’ve heard before but through clever and deliberate planning, make wildly disparate songs that draw you in all the same.

There’s a roomful of artistic capacity between just Mike Keneally and Scott Schorr. ‘MFTJ’ puts it to good use.

Here is Butcher Brown’s new, smooth-as-a-baby’s-behind rendition of Ronnie Laws’ hypnotic groover from 1975, “Tidal Wave.” Good call for bringing such a fresh jam from the mid-70’s out of obscurity, as Black Moon did a generation ago.

Bassist and producer Paul Bryan’s ‘Cri$sel Gems’ is a very consistently satisfying set of retro-fusion tracks.

Circles Around the Sun first gestated when Neal Casal was assigned to come up with intermission music for the Grateful Dead’s Fare Thee Well dates.

‘Ordinary Heroes’ is better than your ordinary mainstream jazz because Peter Hum composes, arranges and plays with the finesse and conviction he brings to his political activism.

Just being eccentric doesn’t make one creative, but Cheer-Accident continues to find ways to be a lot of both twenty albums in. Here’s hoping for another twenty albums by this band.
