Herring's first solo album is one of the best jazz releases of the year.

Heavy prog rock with guests Chris Poland, Brett Garsed, Ty Tabor, Tony Levin, and many others.

Great new album from Chris Poland's fusion power trio.
Cosmosquad: Acid Test
I've been revisiting this one since their DVD came out. Cool stuff.
Return to Forever: The Anthology
Great two-disc "best of" collection from this classic fusion band.
Greg Howe: Sound Proof
Howe's latest is fantastic. Great grooves and awesome jazzy shredding.
Alex Machacek, Jeff Sipe, Matthew Garrison: Improvision
Incredible writing and playing. A remarkable album.
I saw one of the 8 shows they played at Yoshi's. Absolutly mind blowingly awsome! Actually, even better! Also they all came out for photos and autos. Very nice lads! Great music. I can't wait for the CD and DVD!

Great to see Allan Holdsworth still playing. I last saw him in some pub in Putney (I think it was) some 25 years ago.
How time flies ...

I also was at the Saturday night 10:00 Yoshi's show. We sat in front of Alan Pasqua who was having a great time. The playing all around was terrific. Wackerman sounded like Tony that night. I am psyched to see/hear the DVD in 2007. This site is small but mighty!
