Super Guitar Trio brings together three legends of jazz guitar: Larry Coryell, Al Di Meola and Bireli Lagrene. These three virtuoso musicians have collaborated at various times in their career, but this concert from 1989 comes from the only tour they have done together as a trio. They perform a mixture of tracks from each of their solo repertoire plus special arrangements of some of their favorite tracks by other artists. For jazz musicians, playing at Montreux is always a highlight and the three guitarists are clearly inspired by playing together in the unique Montreux atmosphere.
Providence Music Works PMW 10002 (1996) If you?re tired of the gushing sentimentality of most commercial holiday music and looking for something that acknowledges the loneliness and hard times that some people feel amid the Christmas cheer, you?ll like the alternative views expressed in this singer/songwriter collection from a new Rhode Island label. While a couple of the 20 tracks are a little too earnest, there?s some evocative music here, like Ratsy?s ?If You?re Not Dead,? a charmingly sad account of romantic disappointment at holiday time, and Bob Franke?s quietly spiritual ?Straw Against The Chill.? It?s not all serious, either ? there?s a sly country blues called ?Jesus Don?t ?Kleck No Tax, Wassail? by the Folk Support Group, and the title track by Jon Campbell should bring a knowing laugh from anyone familiar with 12-step recovery programs.
