Nick Adema - Urban Chaos Review by Gary Hill
There certainly seems to be a lot of genre stretching music coming out under the “jazz” heading these days. This album is one such release.

Lynne Arriale Trio - Being Human Review by Gary Hill
I previously reviewed another set from this artist. I put that under progressive rock because it had a fusion and art music angle. That’s less pronounced here, with this fitting closer to traditional jazz.

Jason Blake - A Confusion Sequence Review by Gary Hill
Here is a truism for you: You just can’t go wrong with a Jason Blake album.

Patricia Brennan Septet - Breaking Stretch Review by Gary Hill
This is a pretty amazing release. It’s definitely jazz based, but there is a healthy helping of freeform weirdness at play.

The music here is intriguing. It’s often effective, too.
|
 |
 |
 |
Chapman Whitney - Streetwalkers Review by Gary Hill
This is perhaps not the proggiest thing I’ve included under the progressive rock section, but it does have a decent amount of that genre within its running time.
|

 |
Circu5 - Clockwork Tulpa Review by Gary Hill
While this is not 1970s styled prog, it does have moments that lean in that direction. It’s decidedly progressive rock, though.

One of several albums from this group I’m reviewing in this issue of Music Street Journal, I really like the music on this a lot.

Gayle Ellett & The Electromags - The Painted River of Light Review by Gary Hill
This is the third release from this act I’ve reviewed. It seems like each one is better than those that came before it.

Ensemble C - Every Journey Review by Gary Hill
This is quite an intriguing genre bending set of music. Of the album’s eight songs, only three run less than ten minutes.
|

This new three-CD collection gathers up three albums by Eyes of Blue.

Frally - Message from the Future Review by Gary Hill
I have landed this release under progressive rock. It is not actually prog rock.
|
 |
 |
 |
Genesis - Seconds Out Review by Greg Olma
The 70s were a glorious time for live records. Anyone who wanted to showcase the excitement of their concerts put out a double live album.

This is the second release from this artist I’ve reviewed.
|
 |

 |
Rich Halley 4 - Dusk and Dawn Review by Gary Hill
This collection of jazz lands closer to the freeform zone, which is what gets it under progressive rock at Music Street Journal.
|
 |
 |
 |
Ize Trio - The Global Suites Review by Gary Hill
This collection is a set of multi=track suites. It’s said that they all address issues in the world, but I didn’t manage to perceive any of that.
|
 |
 |
 |
Stefanos Kozanis - Asterismyth – Music About The Constellations And Mythical Figures Review by Gary Hill
This is an intriguing release. It isn’t really progressive rock, but it is progressive music and definitely art music.
|
 |
 |
 |
David Leon - Bird's Eye Review by Gary Hill
This type of music is definitely not well suited to track by track reviews. It’s very free-form and experimental.
|
 |
 |
 |
Mammoth Volume - Raised Up By Witches Review by Gary Hill
This album is not progressive rock in a traditional sense. It definitely belongs under prog, though.
|
 |
 |
 |
Dave Schoepke - Sun Will Follow Review by Gary Hill
This album is a one-man operation with Dave Schoepke providing both drums and synthesizers. It’s instrumental music that leans toward space and experimental territory.
|
 |
 |
 |
Brandon Seabrook - Object of Unknown Function Review by Gary Hill
This album is unique. It’s not mainstream music by any means.
|
 |
 |
 |
Merv Spence - Phenomena Recovered Review by Gary Hill
This is being included under progressive rock mainly because Merv Spence was a member of both Wishbone Ash and Trapeze.
|
 |
 |
 |
Stackridge - Lost And Found: The Reunion Years 1999-2015 Review by Gary Hill
This four CD box set features two studio albums from Stackridge along with a double disc live album. These discs all come from the reunion era of the group.

 |
Cary Aria - Seaduction Review by Gary Hill
If you want music that makes you feel like you are on a cruise ship, this will probably do the job.
|
 |
 |
 |
Bob Bradshaw - Live in Boston Review by Gary Hill
I’m not sure I go along with the title to this album. I mean, yes, this is a live recording, meaning the band performed this stuff, and it was recorded as they played it as a group.
|
 |

 |
Chain Reaction - Still in the Game Review by Gary Hill
I have reviewed a couple of other discs from this act.
|
 |
 |
 |
Caroline Cotter - Gently as I Go Review by Gary Hill
At its heart the music here probably fits best under the folk heading.
|
 |
 |
 |
Desolation Sound - Silver Rain Review by Gary Hill
I previously reviewed another set from this act. I think that this one falls a little more completely under alternative rock than that one did.
|
 |
 |
 |
DownTown Mystic - The Wish Review by Gary Hill
This act seems to put out a lot of music, and I’ve reviewed quite a bit.
|
 |
 |
 |
Floryence - Mallard Café Review by Gary Hill
Floryence is a one-person act. The man behind that act is Jared Gibson.
|
 |
 |
 |
Noah Haidu - Standards Review by Gary Hill
After scanning small snippets of this album, I had decided that it was close enough to fusion to include it under the prog heading, where we land fusion.
|
 |
 |
 |
Chrissy Johnson - Shake Where You're Steady Review by Gary Hill
Folk music, pop rock and more seem to merge on this set.
|
 |
 |
 |
Karney - Creatures in the Garden Review by Gary Hill
I have reviewed quite a bit of Karney’s music in the past. Her sound seems to be unbound by genres or other limiting factors.
|
 |

 |
Ranzel X Kendrick - Texas Time Warp Review by Gary Hill
I have previously reviewed quite a few releases from Ranzel X. Kendrick. His musical style is often all over the place, but it generally works well for me.

 |
Peggy Lee - The Velvet Lounge: Fever Review by Gary Hill
Peggy Lee was definitely before my time, but I knew who she was. This collection really made me appreciate her.
|

Steven Lemon - ...a strange pale blue Review by Gary Hill
This is an intriguing set. At times it feels almost as if it could have been written for kids.
|
 |
 |
 |
Steve McAllister - I Hope You are Okay Review by Gary Hill
This release almost fits under progressive rock.
|
 |
 |
 |
The Ram - I Am Nowhere, I Am Everywhere Review by Gary Hill
The music on this has a contemporary edge to it, but it’s more rooted in retro blues rock than anything else.
|
 |
 |
 |
Kathy Sabol - The Great Divide Review by Gary Hill
This album is definitely a case where less would have been more. There are some strong pieces of music here.
|

Various Artists - Rockin' With The Krauts - Real Rock 'N' Roll Made In Germany Vol. 4 Review by Gary Hill
Old school rock and roll is on the menu here. That said, most of the lyrics are in German.
|
 |
 |
 |
Nina de Vitry - What You Feel Is Real Review by Gary Hill
Nina de Vitry is described as a jazz folk artist. I think that fits pretty well.
