Richard Thompson ‘Acoustic Classics’ Album Review

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.

Former Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry performed with energy and dynamic showmanship that furthered his distinctive brand of torch rock.

Celebrating Bird is a beautifully written book, and in this carefully updated version, it is a scintillating, moving tribute.

Elvis Costello And The Roots deliver a classic recording that advances not only their careers but modern rock music itself.

‘Twenty Feet From Stardom’ is dedicated to lesser-known but brilliant musicianship in the art of back-up singing for popular music.
