10 Recommended New Rock Records Or Why Listening To New Music Is Good

April 2, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

99 times out of 10, people who complain about the lack of a certain kind of music being made today or, even worse, the quality of today’s music, typically haven’t put in the time to listen.

Classic Albums: Lowell Davidson Trio (Vinyl Reissue)

June 6, 2021 Michael Lavorgna

I feel like I’ve written about Lowell Davidson and his sole record, Lowell Davidson Trio released on ESP-Disk’ in 1965, way too often. Turns out, I’m wrong.

December 29, 2020 Michael Lavorgna

Is there anything cornier than sharing the fact that certain music makes us cry?

Classic Albums: The Great Blues Men

December 14, 2020 Michael Lavorgna

If I were to point to one album that was responsible for launching me out of the comfortable cocoon of my musical beginnings with Jimi, Dylan, and Neil, it would be the double LP compilation titled, The Great Blues Men.

Classic Albums: Bill Dixon & Cecil Taylor, DUETS 1992

My 100 Favorite Albums (as of today)

August 1, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Culling a list of 100 favorite albums could be seen as an arduous task. But it wasn’t. By combining a look at my digital library in Roon sorted by “Most Played” and my memory of the LPs I love mostest, I put together this stream-of-consciousness […]

Classic Albums: Jean Barraqué, Le Temps restitué

July 31, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Digging through the Contemporary Classical bins at the old Tower Records on Broadway in NYC was an endless source of mystery and magic. Sometimes, I would pick a recording based on nothing more than the fact that I didn’t know much, or anything, about it. […]

Jerome Sabbagh: Five Influential Recordings

May 29, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Saxophonist Jerome Sabbagh’s release with guitarist Greg Tuohey, No Filter, has been getting some serious airtime in Barn of late. Jerome and I recently shared an email exchange wherein I asked Jerome if he would be interested in sharing a few favorite records. Instead, and […]

Classic Albums: Mal Waldron, Black Glory

May 23, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

I have a thing for Mal Waldron. A special thing. A Mal Waldron kinda thing which you may think would be about his gentle soulful searching side, The Quest, or perhaps his work as accompanist for Billie Holiday during her last years. And I do. […]

Classic Albums: Giacinto Scelsi, Natura Renovatur

April 24, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Of all the personal discoveries made during my multi-year quest through the Tower Records Contemporary Classical department, two composers stand out from the rest: Morton Feldman and Giacinto Scelsi. If I saw something new from either, it was mine and I’d rush back to my […]

Classic Albums: Alfred Schnittke, Faust Cantata

February 28, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

In 1587, Johann Spies published a chapbook based on a mythologized and fantastical version of a real man’s life who lived in the early 16th century titled Doctor Faustus. It spread like wildfire throughout Europe. Thomas Mann wrote his novel of the same name, published […]

Classic Albums: Morton Feldman, Triadic Memories

February 13, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Back when I lived in NYC, I did not own a TV and the Internet, as we know it, didn’t exist. What ever did I do with all that time?
