Keb' Mo' and his band prove they can handle funk, country blues, a bit of psychedelia, ballads and traditional blues without ever breaking a sweat.

If you are adventurous in your listening choices and want a bit of the unknown to color your listening experience, then I heartily encourage you to listen to Mr. Branxton’s 3 Compositions many, many times.

Meron is a melodist with talent.

Both singer and pianist here display exceptionally soulful (as well as wonderfully compatible) senses of rhythm and timing, and timing is so important in conveying the spirit of these sublime songs.

Following in the footsteps of an icon like Wes Montgomery, is a daunting prospect; Charlie Ballantine has bravely taken the first of those footsteps.

From the wonders of nature to the grittier pleasures of the city, this album encourages children (and adults) to be mindful and alert and always be ready to find the beauty in adventure everywhere around us.

More than a musical genius and cultural icon, Prince made it possible for everyday people to shape their own identities.

In a young year already slammed with musical deaths — David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Lemmy, Keith Emerson, George Martin, Merle Haggard, Maurice White, Paul Kantner — we now face the staggering blow that Prince, perhaps the greatest overall musician of his generation, is suddenly gone at the far too young age of 57.

Familiar preludes by Chopin and Debussy joined new ones by modern composers including the pianist himself in this stirring GetClassical at Yamaha Piano Salon concert.

Overall, there's some good tunes here worth checking out on TPC's latest release.
