Current Listening
I've been super busy with work and family stuff, so I haven't had as much time to update the site with reviews, etc, as I'd like. However, a lot of great new music has been released recently, so I wanted to take time out to make a few recommendations.
Robby Ameen - Days In The Life
Awesome jazz and fusion from New York based drummer Ameen. Includes Wayne Krantz on guitar.
Great crunchy guitar-driven fusion. Enter to win a copy here! (full review forthcoming)
Drummer Smith's instrumental side project is pure L.A fusion. Includes Jeff Kollman (Cosmosquad) on guitar.
Great jazz-funk instrumentals with strong melodies. Includes guest Steve Lukather. (review forthcoming)
Finally a new SMB album! Heavy stuff, in a similar vein to the Southern Steel or Stressfest records. (review forthcoming)
Keith Carlock - The Big Picture DVD (2 disc set)
Just got this. I know I know, it's an instructional DVD for drummers. Why am I including it on my guitar site's current "listening" list? Disc 2 features a fantastic 4-song performance/clinic segment by the amazing trio of Wayne Krantz, Tim Lefebvre, and Carlock. After each song, the trio discusses their group improv techniques and cues in-depth. It's better than any interview you've ever read about this band's inner-workings. A must-have for Krantz fans.

Win a copy of the new Gerald Gradwohl Trio album!
The Guitar Channel is giving away one copy of Austrian fusion guitarist Gerald Gradwohl's great new trio CD Sally Beth Roe. This disc features Jojo Lackner on bass, Farid Al-Shami on drums, and some of the rawest guitar-driven fusion I've heard in some time (look for my review soon).
For your chance to win, send an email to [email protected] with the subject Gerald Gradwohl CD Giveaway. On Monday November 16th, I will choose one email at random and announce the winner on the site. One entry per person please; past Guitar Channel contest winners are not eligible. Good Luck!
