The trumpet is a very powerful horn in the brass family. Perhaps a good dose of the sound of the trumpet and Flugelhorn from Greg Adams, founding/long-time member of hit R&B band Tower of Power might do the trick. Mr. Adams delivers another touch of the funk and soul in East Bay Soul 2.0, an excellent collection of compositions ever-so-reminiscent of the enormous participation he has consistently produced on over 500 recordings to date.

This album was put together after the premature death of the great Luther Tucker. It features his unique guitar playing, which really doesn't sound like the guitar work of anyone else. The seventeen minute interview at the end of the disc really provides great insight into Luther's life, career in music, huge admiration for Robert Junior Lockwood, and some Chess Records stories about Little Walter and Leonard and Phil Chess, which is quite amusing…….

The Crane & Fabian project started out as a collaboration between bassist/composer/arranger Christian Fabian and award-winning producer/drummer Lance Crane. The album No Limits pumps up the classic percussion and shredding guitar sounds of Return to Forever, the Chick Corea Electric band and Tribal Tech with dueling guitars. And there’s another debut here—this is the first time in music history that three of the Chick Corea Elektric Band guitarists are on the same album.

Katatonia continues to refine and redefine the sound they settled on by the time 'Last Fair Deal Gone Down' landed in 2001. This is the band's ninth album, and it goes without saying that it's a must for all fans of this Swedish dark/goth metal institution. Includes guest vocals by Silje Wergeland (The Gathering / ex-Octavia Sperati) on one track.

Singer, songwriter and guitarist Jeff Buckley's untimely death gives the 108-minute Live in Chicago inevitable poignancy and power as a rare, complete document of his passionate writing and playing style. At the time of Buckley's ascendance in the mid-90s, both his high-flying vocal attack and his edgy poetic sense struck older listeners as genetic markers from his father, folk-rock legend Tim Buckley.

Joaquim Homs was a Catalonian composer, schooled in Schoenberg's twelve-tone techniques, so one might expect to hear music that shouts "I'm different, I'm learned, respect me!" However, Homs' piano music, particularly as played by Jordi Masó, speaks more for the person who wrote it, rather than for itself. Much of it is atonal and composed following prescribed techniques, but it is at the same time very evocative and emotionally expressive.
