Walkin’ by Miles Davis was released in 1957 but brings together two sessions from 1954 that were previously released in a 10” format. It includes Miles Davis All-Star Sextet in its entirety and most of Miles Davis Quintet. What makes Walkin’ special is that it doesn’t sound stiff or overly polished. There’s a looseness to […]

Released in 1955, The Musings of Miles finds Miles Davis in a thoughtful, reflective mood. This was his first session for Prestige as a leader since kicking heroin the year prior, this album feels like a quiet reset, less about showing off and more about settling into his own voice. It’s a small, focused session […]

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Hayes Carll has spent his celebrated career masterfully crafting songs that allow us to take a good look at ourselves – the good, the bad, and even the absurd – through his character narratives and sage perspectives.

Upon its original release over half a century ago, Cream’s initial Live album (released in April) markedly belied its title. The curators might well have found a concise concert piece to supplant the non-sequitur called “Lawdy Mama,” taken from the sessions for the trio’s sophomore studio album of 1967 Disraeli Gears (wherein lies the archetypal rifftune “Sunshine Of Your […]

At this point in their career, the Swedish metal outfit Ghost has built something undeniable.

Rounding out our salute to the one and only Iggy Pop this week, there are plenty of clips out there of the legendary frontman that could easily fall into the “weird” category, but this performance of “Lust for Life” on Top of the Pops from 1977 really takes the (weird) cake. From his dancing with […]

Broncho takes their time crafting their […]

New York indie rockers Sunflower Bean almost broke up after touring behind its experimental 2022 album Headfull of Sugar.

The last time this quartet was together was on Polish pianist Marcin Wasilewski’s trio recording 2020’s Arctic Riff (ECM), where the masterful reeds playing elder, Joe Lovano, was the invited guest. This time, Lovano takes the lead on Homage (ECM) with this same backing trio, which has been intact as a unit since 1993. They are, in […]

It’s been said that in space, no one can hear you scream; but sometimes you can feel the echo of vibration.
