Drummer/Composer Steve Fidyk is Buoyed by 'Allied Forces' on New Posi-Tone Release [REVIEW]
Be Forewarned: Nothing Is What it Seems on 'Shelter', Sebastian Noelle [REVIEW]
Nothing is what it seems on New York City guitarist-composer Sebastian Noelle's 'Shelter' (Fresh Sound New Talent). Its 10 original quintet tracks in 67:43 surprise and delight when they all seem to morph into something different, many in mid-tune! Influences as varied as German literature, Brazilian composer Hermeto Pascoal and ragas from India butt heads in this free-wheeling montage of sound. 'Once & Future' B-3 Kings are Spotlighted by Brian Charette on New Posi-Tone Release [REVIEW]
Brian Charette knows his B-3 history. His '101 Hammond B-3 Tips' book, his nine CDs plus his new 'Once & Future' (Posi-Tone) where he performs 14 tracks of super-cool B-3 funky jazz by a litany of composers with only guitarist Will Bernard and drummer Steve Fidyk, is only his latest chapter. Charette has dug down deep to benefit us all.
