A stalwart with Kenny Loggins and Don Felder, Shem von Schroeck has one lasting goal: He hopes to be Toto’s “last bass player.”

Released a decade ago this month, ‘Road Shows Vol. 1’ reframed Sonny Rollins as jazz’s most important living saxophonist.

“Take a Chance” makes a strong case for Donnie Dacus as the right guitarist for Chicago at the time.

As with the earlier “Walls,” “Where Will You Be” holds an unusual place in the Yes canon – but in a much more positive way.

Bottled tight with an unlimited supply of hooks and melodies, ‘Joe Mandica Presents GROOVES’ yields one spectacular song after another.

The title track to Chicago’s ‘Hot Streets’ is a wistful look back at the jazz-rock style of the original band in its early days.

Lucas Lee’s albums are as involving as instrumental rock can be. That’s a testament to his skills as a writer, arranger and musician.

“Just Can’t Get to You” didn’t break new ground, but it did show that Toto could still create a ballad worthy of inclusion on any previous album.

Aaron Parks’ progressively minded ‘Little Big’ might not be the direction jazz is currently headed, but it should be.

Shooter Jennings decided to title his return to country music after himself, but it could just as easily be called ‘Junior’ or ‘Bocephus.’
