Happy New Year! Live music is back! Hey, just kidding. No, wait: it is, kinda. It s back the way Brain Wilson was back with the Beach Boys all those times in the 70s and 80s. Which is to say, again: kinda. In this edition of 30 Days Out – the one-year anniversary of its appearance Read More I recently spoke with Kevin Godley (10cc, Godley Creme) about his new solo album – his first, in fact – titled Muscle Memory. But during our chat I also managed to bring up the subject of Consequences, the bizarre boxed set 3LP album that marked the debut of Godley Creme in 1977. That Read More Continued from Part One Submissions took the form of rough instrumental audio mixes. Each time Godley came across one with potential, he took things to the next step. “If I liked it, I d just pull it on to GarageBand [digital audio workstation software], and sing over the top of it, straight into a computer.” That Read More In 2020, working remotely is commonplace. Even before circumstances required it, many people found that working from home could be just as efficient as showing up to a formal workplace. Creatives and musicians, of course, have known this for longer than most. Elton John and Bernie Taupin famously collaborated by mail for years, putting words Read More When punk and new wave were exploding in New York City in the late 70s and early 1980s, Allan Day wasn’t old enough to drive a car, much less play a gig in a bar.

Some things, at least, never change. And one of those is my commitment to covering music that might otherwise escape readers’ notice. My hundred-world review entries are an attempt to do just that. Here are five new releases you should know Read More If someone had asked me a few years ago if I thought I’d be writing a week’s worth of content in 2021 about Dave Brubeck, I would have shot them a quizzical look and responded along the lines of, “No, and why would you ask such a question?” As much an admirer as I am Read More Released in 1959, The Dave Brubeck Quartet’s Time Out is a landmark album. An accomplished synthesis of West Coast and cool jazz, it’s remarkable for combining “unusual” time signatures – defined here as most anything beyond 3/4 and 4/4 – and musical accessibility. As has been documented many times before (and is vividly recounted in Read More Continued from Part Three. In this final part of my lively conversation with Chris Brubeck, he relates a funny story about an album he made many, many years ago with Larry Coryell. Again another tangent: I was just listening to a vinyl LP that I bought years ago called Better Than Live by Larry Coryell Read More PLEASE NOTE: I welcome comments; I really do. But the site was getting hammered by sleazy comment-spammers, so I've had to disable the commenting feature. My apologies.
