...assertive and almost political sound on his alto. Three months earlier, Timmons recorded This Here Is Bobby Timmons , which heralded a new, neo-gospel piano style. As for Chambers, he had just returned from a rigorous spring tour of Europe backing Miles Davis and an increasingly independent John Coltrane What makes Leeway so exciting is that...

...assertive statement, morphing back into bossa nova as he becomes more rhythmic. Meurkens improvises on the vibraphone, exploring quick lines and short sequences. Flautist Rodrigo Ursaia joins Alves on a short melody to open Jobims Você Vai Ver, making way for Meurkens to interpret the melody on vibraphone. Meurkens proceeds into a reflective...

...assertive rhythmic element into his improvisation, creating a musical highpoint. Middle Eastern drums and Parras sliding vocals lend a distinctly different feel to Dizzy Gillespies A Night In Tunisia. Ray Vegas bursts into an energetic trumpet solo, leading the group into a salsa feel. Short solo fills from percussionists Michael Spiro and...

Malcolm Middleton Reviewed On Pitchfork

2008-01-02 11:53:00 by Potsie Belcher in Revolver Distribution
 
...assertive prog-rock instrumental break in the middle of the song A look at the tracklist, with titles like "We're All Going to Die" and "Death Love Depression Love Death", indicates a real downer, but it's not all as dark as that, and I don't think I've ever heard Middleton sound so damn lively, even when he's singing a couplet like, "I'm...

Trees - On the Shore (UK Folkrock 1970 + Bonus)

The Article has images
2007-12-20 17:19:00 by ChrisGoesRock in ChrisGoesRock
...assertive, harder-rocking, and fuller-sounding than the debut, but the principal flaws of overlong songs and patchy original material remain. The taut and dramatic original "Murdoch" is the highlight, rivaling the first album's "The Garden of Jane Delawney" as their best track. Each Trees reissue on BGO, by the way, contains a lengthy band...

...assertive, the 42 min pass very quickly.. With MC 900 Ft Jesus its different, he made just 3 albums, i got all three and they are all rather different in nature, i choose the middle one as it combines the elements of his first and last and is a gem musically and textually, although MC 900ft maybe overdoing it here and there, but then his...

ARC* - At This (1971) [rated 3/5 by Atavachron]

2008-01-24 23:13:36 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...assertive with a sweet balance between the fuzz twang of John Turnbull's guitar and Michael Gallagher's saloon-style piano. 'Four Times Eight' is almost pure silliness saved by some impressive instrumentation and White Album fun and 'Great Lager Street' is simply great young prog rock, with warm vocal harmonies and delicate keyboard/guitar...

2008-01-30 05:40:51 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...assertive singer would have detracted from the musical brilliance of the instrumental parts, a real feast for lovers of vintage prog Fish Out of Water" strikes the right balance between melody and complexity, its compositions tightly structured yet leaving room for the musicians to let rip and show their chops. Even if solo albums are often...
