Concert Review: “The Last Waltz 40 Tour” — The Best Approximation Possible

To hear a 13-piece ensemble of this caliber, doing justice to these great songs, was simply hard to beat.

Concert Review: Hudson at the Berklee Performance Center

It’s clear these four musicians love playing together. As long as the magic lasts, it’s well worth your hearing.

Jazz CD Review: “Hudson” — Free Jazz in the Summer of Love

Hudson serves up varied, fresh, and exciting free jazz that imaginatively draws on rock, funky blues, and folk music.

Fuse Concert/CD Review: Matt Wilson Quartet plus John Medeski, at Sculler’s

The Matt Wilson Quartet prides itself on variety: the band can play ersatz Indian music, free jazz, and funky rhythm and blues, as well as an occasional touching ballad.

Jazz CD Reviews: John Scofield’s “Überjam Deux” and Dave Holland’s “Prism”

Dave Holland’s Prism tells stories, several of which are very effective. Scofield’s, like his earlier Überjam releases, extends the jam-band esthetic into jazz without completely giving in to it. And neither of them would be as they are without the great looming shadow of Miles Davis.
