Smokin: Sirius Matter

Read "Sirius Matter" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Never say never in prog rock. Members of Smokin’ Granny were once in a promising but little-known, prog fusion group called Freehand that had to evolve. You can hear that history clearly in “Toad Pizza” and the 7:19 “Moveable Feast”. Todd Barbee, saxophonist and WX7 midi wind instrument, Jeffrey Damon Lindsey on drums and percussion, and Brian Preston on basses have come a long, strange way. With them now jams David Oskardmay on guitar & effects. Both Steve Hatch, (ex-Volare, ...

Today in the U.S., it's Memorial Day, a national holiday when Americans think about loved ones who fought and perished in wars. But it's also the first unofficial day of summer, a weekend of family get-togethers, a day of BBQ smoking and grilling, and even shopping sales. If you're firing up the smoker or grill today—or anytime this summer—here are six lengthy playlists perfect for keeping you and your guests in the groove: Here's four hours of Southern soul...

In what looks to be an ideal marketing pairing, Berkeley CA based record store Amoeba Music will soon be complimenting its traditional musical offerings with marijuana, hopefully helping to keep another brick and mortar record store's doors open. Guest Post by Bobby Owsinski on Music 3.0 In what seems to be a match made in heaven, the Amoeba Music record store based in Berkeley, CA can soon begin selling marijuana as well. An Amoeba employee leaked the announcement on Facebook, ...

Louisiana music legends Bobby Rush and Dr. John, two of the most colorful figures in the blues, have known each other for more than 50 years. They met as young men in their 20s on the early 1960s R&B circuit and have remained good friends ever since. “When they’re telling stories it’s hilarious because they’re talking about bluesmen so ugly they had to turn their backs to the audience to play guitar,” says mutual friend Carl Gustafson of the Southern ...

Epic Gives Up the Ghost: Gal President is Fired for Smoking Pot and Being a Bitch

Epic Gives Up the Ghost: Gal President is Fired for Smoking Pot and Being a Bitch

Is the firing of Epic President, Amanda Ghost a sign that women are the new scapegoat for the “failing" music biz? Ah, what happened to the days when being a music executive meant you could party with the acts in your office, sleep late, yell at underlings and get rewarded even if your numbers were bad? Well, we still have them; they're still here, unless you happen to have one important character flaw— a vagina. You gotta read this Hollywood ...

By: Dennis Cook

Usually I'm head over heels for anything that pours from Nathan Moore's quill, so it was surprising how long it took You Yeah Smokin' Hot (Reapandsow Music) to open up to me. This is even more odd when one considers that Smokin' Hot is far and away Moore's most readily accessible, modern radio friendly set to date. However, if like me, your taste in Moore runs closer to “Fat King of Gods," “Unprotected" and “So Close To ...

And You Thought It Was Baseball!

It's a matter of culture: the U.S. is home to a huge baby boomer population that came of age when experimenting with drugs was a part of the social fabric.

The Netherlands, with its permissive marijuana laws, may be known as the cannabis capital of the world. But a survey published this month in PLoS Medicine, a journal of the Public Library of Science, suggests that the Dutch don't actually experiment with pot as ...

Street Date September 21, 2004

Alto saxophonist Ian Hendrickson-Smith follows up his debut CD (Up in SMOKE! SHP 1025) with another live recording from NYC's SMOKE Jazz Club entitled Still Smokin'.

Hendrickson-Smith is rejoined by first-call pianist David Hazeltine and drummer Joe Strasser and has added New York heavyweights Peter Washington, Ryan Kisor and Peter Bernstein to the mix. Hendrickson-Smith's big, open, bluesy sound is reminiscent of alto masters Cannonball Adderley and Jackie McLean. The band's conception, in ...
