Trio Taus, Mozart’s Divertimento KV 563 | The Vinyl Anachronist

January 31, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Trio Taus, Mozart’s Divertimento KV 563 | The Vinyl Anachronist

I can always count on 2L Recordings when it comes to challenging me intellectually, through complex musical themes, or helping me to bask in the beauty of some of the finest recordings of the last […]

Florida 2020

The Florida Audio Expo only one week away! | FLAX 2020

January 31, 2020 Eric Franklin Shook Comments Off on The Florida Audio Expo only one week away! | FLAX 2020

TAMPA, FL (PTA) — The Florida Audio Expo (FLAX) is an intimate show by comparison to behemoth shows like Axpona and Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, but it’s these regional shows that tend to be my […]

Orqid’s Tenderness | The Vinyl Anachronist

January 30, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Orqid’s Tenderness | The Vinyl Anachronist

Back when I reviewed Rasmus Kjaer‘s stunning LP Turist, I mentioned that three electronica albums showed up on my front porch within a few days of each other. Orqid’s Tenderness was actually the first slab […]

Best Albums of 2019 | Monthly Spins

January 26, 2020 Joe Surdna 3

2019 went by really fast, a blur of truth/reality and fake/reality. One might be tempted to say that 1984 is finally upon us and all the early post-modern philosophers got it right. The “simulacrum” was […]

Sonus Faber And CES 2020 Highlights | The Occasional Podcast

January 25, 2020 Brian Hunter Comments Off on Sonus Faber And CES 2020 Highlights | The Occasional Podcast

Sonus Faber as an audiophile brand has been around a long time. In this episode of The Occasional Podcast we sit down with CEO and President Jeff Poggi and Brand Manager William Kline to discuss […]

Albare Plays Jobim | The Vinyl Anachronist

January 24, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Albare Plays Jobim | The Vinyl Anachronist

I started off 2020 expecting a break from the multitude of Latin jazz releases–specifically tango and Brazilian jazz–that dominated the music scene in 2019. I love this music, but after a while it all starts […]

Music

Frank Kohl, The Crossing | The Vinyl Anachronist

January 20, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Frank Kohl, The Crossing | The Vinyl Anachronist

For a long time I’ve admired the sound of jazz duos that consist of just an acoustic and a electric guitar player. The overall sound is smooth and relaxing, but there’s always a manner in […]

Music

Calabria Foti, Prelude to a Kiss | The Vinyl Anachronist

January 17, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Calabria Foti, Prelude to a Kiss | The Vinyl Anachronist

  Contemporary jazz is mostly made of throwbacks, so Calabria Foti and her new album Prelude to a Kiss shouldn’t be at all surprising. Here’s the basic recipe: one sultry chanteuse, one Great American Songbook […]

Music

Guillaume Muller, Sketches of Sound | The Vinyl Anachronist

January 16, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Guillaume Muller, Sketches of Sound | The Vinyl Anachronist

Was the foreshadowing too obvious when I discussed the possibility of a “purist jazz” trend in 2020 when I reviewed the Fabrizio Sciacca Quartet yesterday? ‘Cuz right on cue we have another fascinating yet straightforward […]

Music

Fabrizio Sciacca Quartet, Gettin’ It There | The Vinyl Anachronist

January 15, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Fabrizio Sciacca Quartet, Gettin’ It There | The Vinyl Anachronist

This debut album from the Fabrizio Sciacca Quartet, Gettin’ It There, is such a pure expression of jazz that it acts as the proverbial sherbet between courses, a way to cleanse your palate before the […]

Music

Tove Ramlo-Ystad, Fryd | The Vinyl Anachronist

January 14, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Tove Ramlo-Ystad, Fryd | The Vinyl Anachronist

I tried to tell you about this new release from 2L Recordings before the holidays, but I just ran out of time. Fryd, from choir conductor Tove Ramlo-Ystad and her singers, known as Cantus, sounds […]

Neil Peart, Your Favourite Drummer’s Favourite Drummer, Dead at 67

January 10, 2020 Editorial Staff 2

SANTA MONICA, CA (PTA) — According to various media sources Neil Peart, the iconic backbone of Canadian progressive rock power trio RUSH—also known as “your favourite drummer’s, favourite drummer”—has fought his last battle with brain […]

Music

Rasmus Kjaer, Turist | The Vinyl Anachronist

January 9, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Rasmus Kjaer, Turist | The Vinyl Anachronist

This new LP from Rasmus Kjaer, Turist, has prompted this singular response from me: at least someone has finally figured out that I love electronica, but I never have much of a chance to review […]

Music

Massimo Biolcati, Incontre | The Vinyl Anachronist

January 2, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Massimo Biolcati, Incontre | The Vinyl Anachronist

Massimo Biolcati and his new CD Incontre is my first review for 2020, and over the holidays I had at least a couple of light-hearted conversations about which jazz genre would take over from Tangorama […]
