Bryan Ferry ‘Avonmore’ Album Review

The Prince of Elegance returns with ‘Avonmore’, his finest album in years, redolent with the sheen of Roxy Music.

Olenka and the Autumn Lovers’ ‘Hard Times’ is a perfect album for the change in season: melancholy, gorgeous and powerful.

The new album from Walter Salas-Humara is as original, as understated and as necessary as music gets these days.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers regain the fire in their bellies with ‘Hypnotic Eye’, a sure contender for rock album of the year.

The pre-eminent folk craftsman of our time delivers a stellar set of newly recorded acoustic performances of fourteen of his classics.

Trumpeter Chris Botti trumps all young jazz instrumentalists on record and on stage at the Orpheum Theatre.
