Featuring Alex Carpani, this is basically a trio or a duo depending on how you look at it. 

This instrumental set lands under progressive rock largely because the mix of sounds here earns it an art music title. 

A new Atomic Rooster album in 2025 – I don’t think I had that on “likely to happen” list, but here we are. 

This is an intriguing instrumental album. This is not a tight fit under prog, but I think it comes close enough. 

Carl Weingarten, who has been covered at MSJ before, is the main person involved here. David Udell is also included, but only on the second disc. 

The musicians here are Joe Fonda (double bass, flute) (of course), Wadada Leo Smith (trumpet), Satoko Fuji (piano) and Tiziano Tononi (drums).

I previously reviewed another album from Gabriel Keller and enjoyed it. I like this one more than that one. 

Dark, modern art music is the concept here. 

This concert from 2005 gets a great deluxe treatment here. We get two CDs along with a DVD of the show. 

I’ve landed this under progressive rock because of the fusion nature of it. 

This double CD instrumental set embodies the idea of art music. It’s freeform and often almost bewildering. 

I decided that we should honor the memory of Ozzy Osbourne in some way. 

This Italian metal outfit have released a satisfying slab of stomping metal music with Catch the Endless Dawn. 

This collection gathers together the 1950s singles from rock and roller Benny Joy along with demos, many of whom were used to sell his songs to other artists. 

The music on this new album is really hard to pin down. 

This band was formed by Ambrosia’s drummer Burleigh Drummond. It features members of his family. 

This holiday collection has a lot in common with many such releases. That’s partly because various artists collections in general share some characteristics. 

There is definitely good news and bad news when it comes to this release. 

The whole Hollywood hard rock scene of the 80s and 90s really shaped the music world while it was dominant. 

There was a time when “The Ed Sullivan Show” was a vital part of current culture.
