DVD Review-Stanley Jordan Trio
Stanley Jordan TrioPublished in The Message For The Week, April 1, 2009
Stanley Jordan is one–of–a–kind. A truly unique guitar player and
master of a two-handed tapping technique that immediately turned heads within the jazz world upon the release of his debut album, Magic Touch, in 1985, which also earned Jordan a Grammy nomination.

DVD Review - Johnny Winter "Live Through The 70's"
Johnny Winter LivePublished in The Message For The Week, January 14, 2009
In the world of the blues, Texas–born Johnny Winter is an unlikely master, the great white hope of electric blues guitar. For blues fans who never got to witness Muddy Waters, T–Bone Walker or Robert Johnson, experiencing Johnny Winter live is about as close as one could get to seeing one of the “original” blues masters.

CD Review: The Residents "The Bunny Boy"
The Residents: The Bunny BoyPublished in Goldmine Magazine, December 15, 2008
If you do not know The Residents (heck, even if you DO know them) strap yourself in, because you're in for quite a ride. Despite having created over sixty albums in their nearly 40–year history, this San Francisco avant–garde music and visual arts outfit to this day, is a mystery on purpose. Yes folks, they choose ambiguity.

DVD Review - Marillion's "Somewhere In London"
Marillion's "Somewhere In London"Published in The Message For The Week, August 27, 2008
Marillion is just one of those bands that makes me shake my head and beg the question; “Why isn't this amazing band much more popular than they are?” Because this band is talented, deep and compelling. Producing album after album of powerful, soulful and intricately progressive songs that is a vibe all their own.
