As I was saying about Bob Dylan....
ARW (Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman) play the music of Yes @ Manchester 02 Apollo, March 25.
I argued the case for their inclusion on a Jazz site when I reviewed Yes at Newcastle City Hall almost a year ago and it seems every emerging Jazz guitarist in particular, owes some debt to prog rock. But what about these three?

Breaking News - RIP Chuck Berry.
CD Review: Erin Dickins - Vignettes
Track 1: Erin Girl For Rhythm//Jumping With Symphony Sid. A clever merging of the two riff tunes with Erin sounding smoky and swingy. The nightclub chanteuse/the girl next door. All but two of the tracks on Vignette has Erin accompanied by a sole multi-instrumentalist - in this case - Paul Jost, a world class singer himself who pitches in on drums, vocal bass and harmonica.
