Hadrien Feraud: Rhapsody In Blue

Read "Hadrien Feraud: Rhapsody In Blue" reviewed by Mike Jacobs


Prodigies are certainly nothing new but it's still quite unbelievable when a young talent arrives so fully-formed and so poised to build on the work of absolute game-changers in their musical idiom. Such was the case in 2007 when bassist Hadrien Feraud's self-titled debut album hit people's ears. The then 20-year-old Feraud's take on “Rhapsody In Blue" is still a stand-out on the album for its creative re-envisioning of the Gershwin classic and sizzling guest appearance by guitarist Bireli Lagrene.

Melbreeze: I Love Paris

Read "I Love Paris" reviewed by Jim Worsley


"I Love Paris" declares Melbreeze in song. It “fucking sizzles" she exclaims, adding just a tad of creative expression to the lyrics of Cole Porter. The delightful ambiance of France was the perfect vacation spot (if only in one's mind) to celebrate the unveiling of her tenth—yes, its been that many-- record. Melbreeze has long put the instrumental aspect upfront or on top. Her voice is often heard as another cog in her crafty musical structure. Ah, ...

Gergo Borlai: The Missing Song

Read "The Missing Song" reviewed by Jim Worsley


The Missing Song has been heralded as a tribute to Gergo Borlai's nine most influential drummers still alive and performing today. This is much more than just listing them and perhaps covering one of their songs. Borlai composed eight of the nine new songs on this album. He plays them all in the manner, or mindset, of each drummer. The thought process, and level of preparation was meticulous for every drummer and every song. The drum kit, cymbals, sticks, pedals, ...

On tour, McLaughlin continually referred to Feraud as “a rising star, and “The New Jaco --not because he plays like the late Jaco Pastorius, but because the guitarist considers Feraud to be an equally impressive discovery.
