Cindy Blackman – Music for the New Millennium

(July 22, 2008)

Cindy Blackman is a force to be reconed with on the skins. She has a masters touch and paints on a sonic canvass in brilliant colors in her laters release “Music for the New Millennium”. I knew Cindy was a powerhouse having played with the “Who’s- Who” of funk, jazz and rock royalty, but I’ve been putting off this review so that I could keep these CDs… That’s right a double disc set… in my CD player.

Lynam – Tragic City Symphony

(July 16, 2008)

It is always refreshing when I get introduced to a new group through a review. It’s kinda like Christmas each time I go to the mailbox, with the exception of those little gifts wrapped in brown that I wish I could exchange. Lynam knocked my socks off with a great release. I have to go back and check out thier older stuff now. Tragic City Symohony is set to release August 26th, 2008. The whole album is very well produced with more that enough hooky lyrics and grooves to keep you groovin throughout the disc.
