The Vinyl Anachronist

David Janeway, Distant Voices | The Vinyl Anachronist

December 29, 2021 Marc Phillips Comments Off on David Janeway, Distant Voices | The Vinyl Anachronist

I’ll admit that some off my holiday reviews of music for non-holiday people have gotten strange–trust me, I wisely passed on some of the more adventurous music in the review pile because I didn’t want […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Breath By Breath from Fred Hersch | The Vinyl Anachronist

December 28, 2021 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Breath By Breath from Fred Hersch | The Vinyl Anachronist

As we’re barreling full-speed into the New Year, I had a thought. If I’m going to include Fred Hersch in my holiday listening choices, I should probably point out that he’s a perfect New Years’ […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Miguel Espinoza Flamenco Fusion, Veneta | The Vinyl Anachronist

December 27, 2021 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Miguel Espinoza Flamenco Fusion, Veneta | The Vinyl Anachronist

The latest album from Miguel Espinoza Flamenco Fusion, Veneta, might be a harbinger of things to come in 2022. As soon as we got through the bulk of the holidays I sensed something in the […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Elena Maque, Feel Again | The Vinyl Anachronist

December 22, 2021 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Elena Maque, Feel Again | The Vinyl Anachronist

Here’s an intriguing coincidence. I just finished the review of Anna Koroleva’s Antigravity yesterday, and today I went to the next piece of music on the review schedule, Feel Again from Elena Maque. These two […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Anna Koroleva, Antigravity | The Vinyl Anachronist

December 21, 2021 Marc Phillips 2

Saxophone player Anna Koroleva just sent me her new album, Antigravity, straight from Russia. This was probably my favorite part of covering contemporary jazz in 2021, this influx of recordings that have come from places […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Carole King & James Taylor, Live at the Troubadour | The Vinyl Anachronist

December 16, 2021 Marc Phillips 1

Carole King & James Taylor’s Live at the Troubadour was recorded back in 2007. I’ve seen James Taylor perform live only once, during a Bridge School Benefit concert from just a few years before. It […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Boomslang from Rich Halley | The Vinyl Anachronist

December 14, 2021 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Boomslang from Rich Halley | The Vinyl Anachronist

Boomslang from Portland-based saxophonist Rich Halley has provided a soundtrack of sorts to this point in the holiday, where the pressure and the last minute planning and the things that don’t quite work out the […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Alexis Cole, Sky Blossom | The Vinyl Anachronist

December 9, 2021 Marc Phillips 1

“Award-winning jazz vocalist Alexis Cole may be the most talented singer to ever hold a top-secret military clearance,” the liner notes say, and I have to admit that got my attention. But Sky Blossom from […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Marcos Ariel, Piano Blossoms | The Vinyl Anachronist

December 7, 2021 Marc Phillips 1

You’re in a very swanky bar in a very swanky hotel and you’re having drinks with friends. This is a new place, one you’ve heard much about, and every cubic foot of this place makes […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Stale Kleiberg Concertos from 2L | The Vinyl Anachronist

December 2, 2021 Marc Phillips 1

It seems I’ve taken the challenge to talk about music for the holidays, but perhaps it’s all about the approach. The secret, I think, is to talk about music I want to hear during the […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Jacqueline Kerrod, 17 Days in December | The Vinyl Anachronist

November 25, 2021 Marc Phillips 1

I saw this Jacqueline Kerrod CD in the review pile and I though oh, harp improvisations! I like the harp. I have plenty of harp recordings that I use as demo tracks. I adore Joanna […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Alexander McCabe, Body & Soul | The Vinyl Anachronist

November 24, 2021 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Alexander McCabe, Body & Soul | The Vinyl Anachronist

I barely made it through another year of holiday jazz releases, and I have to admit I skated a little because I only talked about one release from Jeff Hamilton as if that’s the only […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Jeff Hamilton Trio, Merry & Bright | The Vinyl Anachronist

November 23, 2021 Marc Phillips 3

It’s that time of year for me, time to evaluate all these holiday jazz albums that have made their way to me over the past few weeks. Year after year I tell myself that I’m […]

Jazz Files

A Love Supreme: Live in Seattle | Jazz Files

November 4, 2021 Editorial Staff 1

In 1965, John Coltrane was on a global tour to promote his then new recording, A Love Supreme. This tour would yield other Impulse! releases including Om, Selflessness, and a bootleg, Live in Antibes. Near […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

KosmosG, The Ten Favorites of Dmitri | The Vinyl Anachronist

November 2, 2021 Marc Phillips Comments Off on KosmosG, The Ten Favorites of Dmitri | The Vinyl Anachronist

“KosmosG re-imagines classic bouzouki stoner music of the 1930s through the lens of electronica, covering everything from ‘space age bachelor pad’ music to contemporary trip hop. OPA!” I know you want to take a listen […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

The High-End Audio Dealer and You | The Vinyl Anachronist

October 29, 2021 Marc Phillips 7

Just a few days ago we received an email from a grateful reader that brought up an important subject: the high-end audio dealer. I’ve seen these emails dozens of times before, where the reader tells […]

Jazz Files

The Beatles’ Let It Be, Super Deluxe | Jazz Files

October 28, 2021 Editorial Staff 2

Capitalizing on producer/director Peter Jackson’s upcoming six-hour extravaganza, The Beatles: Get Back, Apple Records issues yet another grand Beatles’ vinyl project, based on the Fab Four’s penultimate recording as a band. Following the release of […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Somesh Mathur, A Promise Broken | The Vinyl Anachronist

October 26, 2021 Marc Phillips 2

I remember the first time I heard Somesh Mathur like it happened yesterday. It was one of my quarterly visits to Scot Hull, back in 2018, a familiar six-hour drive from Rochester NY to Frederick […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Steve Million & Sarah Marie Young, Jazz Words | The Vinyl Anachronist

September 28, 2021 Marc Phillips 2

Here’s the thing about reviewing all this contemporary jazz, specifically when it comes to singers and their accompaniment. I find it a rare occurrence when the vocals match the music. I’m not talking about quality, […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Jackson Potter, Restless | The Vinyl Anachronist

September 23, 2021 Marc Phillips 1

Jazz guitarist Jackson Potter certainly has that young Chet Baker, who’s-the-kid vibe, and his debut album Restless is certainly is one of those calling cards where the performer gets a chance to play a little […]
