There’s a site that’s mostly about tapping into those new jazz releases 😉 somethingelsereviews.com

Something Else!

Located at the intersection of prog, jazz and rock.

Everyone needs to tap back into jazz. At some point we stopped treating new jazz releases as we do the classics and now we have masterful projects by Immanuel Wilkins, Ahmed, Tomeka Reid, Dave Douglas, etc going totally under the radar. Sad to see a lack of a listener base there

America, New York City, and classic rock were reshaped as the World Trade Center's South Tower collapsed 25 years ago today at 9:59AM, followed by the North Tower at 10:28. Music legends quickly began to push back against this new darkness. Here's how: ultimateclassicrock.com/911-…

Just now spinning Isn’t She Lovely?, and the thought came to me, unbidden, “hmmm I wonder how Stevie’s other kids, who didn’t get hit songs, feel about that…”

The Beatles first single, Love Me Do, is now old enough to sing When I’m Sixty-Four.

This promises to be a reissue-heavy month but there are a few notable new releases, too – including @NeilYoung's 'Second Song,' a follow-up collaboration album with the Chrome Hearts. Here's my in-depth preview of September's upcoming new music releases: ultimateclassicrock.com/sept…

Best-selling tours are usually summertime affairs, when the weather is nice and rock fans have vacation days to spare. This year is different. More than 80 major acts will appear on stage in September, October and November. Here's my new preview: ultimateclassicrock.com/fall…

Time offers new perspective. That certainly was the case with the @RollingStones' "Start Me Up," which originally had a reggae vibe. The song had undergone a dramatic transformation by the time it finally arrived on this date 45 years ago. Here's how: ultimateclassicrock.com/roll…

'Who's Next' arrived 55 years ago today with a group of songs that would become among @TheWho's best-loved – and a cover image once lovingly described by Pete Townshend as "pissing on the obelisk." But it wasn't that simple, actually: ultimateclassicrock.com/whos…
