It’s sad to be engaging this music after Coryell’s passing, but nice to check in with his playing regardless of circumstance. The bustling, fulsome groove on “The One or the Nine” makes for a rousing start. There’s strongly motivic playing at the heart of things, and the leader Taylor sounds fantastic in the thick of it all. Coryell’s playing suggests he’s fallen back in love with Grant Green, with a much more pared down phraseology than many associate with him. “Loft Funk” sounds especially dialed in, and…

Imagine hangin' out in a speakeasy with Bluesy Swingin' Jazz and the crowd is jumpin'! AWARD WINNING singer-songwriter-producer ROBERTA DONNAY with her group, the Prohibition Mob Band, released their third CD titled "My Heart Belongs To Satchmo", in honor of Louis Armstong's earliest recordings.
As a singer and performer, Donnay has opened for, or performed with, George Benson, Bob Dorough, David Grisman, Dan Hicks, Bela Fleck, John Hammond, Dr. John, Christian McBride, Maria Muldaur, Lewis Nash, Joe Sample, David Sanborn, Leon Russell, Bonnie Raitt, Rickie Lee Jones, Lee Ritenour, Booker T., Tuck & Patti and more. Donnay's music and voice can be heard on film and TV.
Donnay's interest in roots music was inspired from the radio, performing with Dick Oxtot's Golden Age Jazz Band, recording with legendary jazz producer Orrin Keepnews, researching lost and obscure material from the Jazz Age, and touring 10 1/2 years as singer/percussionist with Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks. Touring the U.S. since 2012, their first album," A Little Sugar", spent nine weeks on radio charts. "Bathtub Gin" was named one of the Best Albums of 2015 by Downbeat Magazine. And "My Heart Belongs to Satchmo" was featured in 2018 DownBeat.

Dylan Taylor – One In Mind (BluJazz): Bassist/cellist Dylan Taylor has had a streak of very good luck over the years: A member of a local jazz band that backed up visiting players, he met and played with guitarist Larry Coryell. He later befriended and played with drummer Mike Clark. In 2015, the friends were set up to do a live performance which was wiped out by a heavy snowstorm, but also stranded the players in the performance hall. While stranded, they took advantage by playing AND recording their…

“… last year’s dramatic interplay with Dylan Taylor on the master bassist’s ONE IN MIND, which featured a remarkable degree of conversational funk and swing between Larry and the innovative drummer Mike Clark, an ideal pairing I was most certainly looking forward to hearing a great deal more of in the near future, Larry and Mike being two of my fave musicians and people, but then, we are all playing with the house’s money, are we not. It wasn’t meant to be. Chip Stern, http://radiofreechip.com/

Sam Dockery, Jazz Pianist.
Just learned of the passing of Sam Dockery, Jazz Pianist, from this world. I am proud to say I played and recorded with Sam and drummer Butch Ballard on what was probably their last recording; Butch's 2007 record Mozaic. I've been meaning to put the recording up on this site. I will do it now.
