Eliot Bronson – Eliot Bronson (ALBUM REVIEW)
[rating=9.00] Thank goodness for Eliot Bronson. One of the best releases so far this year, Bronson’s self-titled record is a rock and roll, folk, country mash-up that showcases his strong songwriting and lush vocals. Eliot Bronson focuses on classic country tunes about loving and leaving, with sweeping melodies and addictively sweet hooks. Right off the […]
James McMurtry – Johnny D’s Restaurant and Bar, Somerville, MA 11/8/14 (SHOW REVIEW)
Bypassing his usual beer and occasional shot of whiskey, James McMurtry’s glass of red wine was symbolic of the evening’s show. Touring with his band in support of his first studio album in six years, “Complicated Game” McMurtry delivered an intimate, perfect volume and relaxed set to a jam-packed Johnny D’s.

The Chick Corea Trio – Trilogy (ALBUM REVIEW)
In contrast to its black and white/sepia tone cover graphics, Trilogy is full of colors, primary, pastel and all shades in between. And that’s not surprising as the three piece group of pianist Chick Corea, percussionist Brian Blades and bassist Christian McBride is that most unusual of units: players of virtually equal technical and improvisational […]
‘Interstellar’ (FILM REVIEW)
[rating=6.00] After I attend a movie screening, I typically like to sit and marinate for a few days before I crack open the laptop and sit down to write a review. I’m sure some critics like to rush home and get it all out in a quick burst so they can, if nothing else, stop […]

The eight-year-old little girl and the 80-year-old man can find a lot of common ground, as far as interests go, with the increasingly growing world of […]
