Dave Greenslade Passed Away

June 14, 2026

“I live within the concept of time. We all live within it, within its restrictions. It’s an important thing: it’s the only thing we’ve all got while we’re still alive. So we have to make the most of it,” Dave Greenslade told this scribe last year, and now one of the most brilliant British keyboard players has left our mortal coil. He might be forever associated with COLOSSEUM and GREENSLADE, but there was much to the veteran’s oeuvre, even though Dave never let neither conceptual thinking nor creative successes get in the way of his personality, and Greenslade remained soft-spoken and good-humored to the very end.

Lenny Kaye Locates An Area For First Solo Platter

June 12, 2026

To release one’s debut solo album on the brink of becoming octogenarian may see strange – but not for Lenny Kaye. Lenny Kaye has simply been busy – for decades. He would have been part of rock history without playing a single lick – Lenny’s place was secured when he compiled the legendary “Nuggets” – but when Kay became a creative sidekick to Patti Smith, with whom he co-authored “Redondo Beach” and other songs, and stayed with her for many years, a different aspect of the guitarist’s talent became public. Add in the veteran’s work as a producer for the likes of Suzanne Vega – his touch is very much felt on “Tom’s Diner” – and it’s quite clear why he didn’t have time for a solo career. Until now.

The Whole Oeuvre Of Bill Wyman’s RHYTHM KINGS Will See Definitive Repackaging

June 8, 2026

Talking of THE ROLLING STONES, most people see the Glimmer Twins as the ultimate rockers, while in fact it was Bill Wyman who seemed the most solid performer in that regard, what with him being older than the rest of the band. Wyman may have written – or allowed to write – only two pieces for the group, 1967’s “In Another Land” and “Downtown Suzie” from 1969, yet ever since the bassist released his star-studded “Willie And the Poor Boys” album in 1985, his reputation soared anew, and when the veteran corralled such friends as Eric Clapton, Albert Lee and Gary Brooker into a project named RHYTHM KINGS, he couldn’t be stopped.

Jann Klose Welcomes Annie Haslam, Rachel Flowers And Marcella Detroit On “The Future Trap”

June 6, 2026

One may find this difficult to believe, but it’s been three decades that the ever-young Jann Klose released an album titled “Enough Said” and, thus, started a career that would bring forth "Mosaic" and a few more remarkable records. None of those were concept works, however, yet “The Future Trap” – which is out now on CD, vinyl and streams – is. More so, it features several prominent guests.
