Last week when AC Entertainment and Superfly Presents dropped the initial lineup for the 11th installment of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival , one of the acts that immediately caught our attention was Spectrum Road - an impressive super group consisting of legendary bass player Jack Bruce (Cream, Blind Faith), keyboard wiz John Medeski (MMW, The Word), guitar-virtuoso Vernon Reid (Living Colour) and drummer Cindy Blackman Santana (Lenny Kravitz, Santana). Our first thoughts were that the band was potentially a one-off, but today Billboard filled us in a bit more on the details. The [...]

By: David Schultz Miles Davis may not have invented jazz fusion but he surely served as its lightning rod in the late Sixties. At the outset, he absorbed all the slings and arrows from those who thought he bastardized the sacrosanct quality of jazz (think Dylan going electric at Newport) before basking in the historic glow of those who ultimately realized he helped shepherd jazz into a new

Even mediocre albums from rock heroes like Bruce Springsteen and U2 [...]
