Cactus Cruz music CDs
$14.55 
1999's Maze not only represents Vinnie Moore's return to his neo-classical shred roots, it also marks the guitarist's Shrapnel Records homecoming. It had been over a decade since Moore released his surprisingly successful debut for the label that essentially defined the rock guitar virtuoso genre. After spending years trying to shed the neo-classical tag and developing a Satriani-esque phrasing ability/tonal vocabulary, Moore brought some new tricks to his old bag, and Maze benefits because of it. The ...
| | Greg Howe Ascend CD (1999)
Cactus Cruz songs
$14.49
The '90s were not a good decade for shredders. In 1990, it seemed as if their place within the rock & roll pantheon was secure, but grunge and alternative quickly banished them to an underground world where most cult artists exist -- a world of independent record labels, word-of-mouth buzz and specialized magazines. Nobody escaped the purge, even though all of the guitarists were quite talented. Once they were away from the spotlight, the guitarists decided to go hardcore, not compromise their principles and make music for one very specific audience. That's why outsiders will be confounded by records like Greg Howe's Ascend, even if they're stunned by his technical mastery. Like hardcore punk, bebop or gangsta rap, shred guitar sounds the same to the untrained ear -- and it is, to a certain extent. Each album utilizes the same song structures and pacing, while all the guitarists emphasize technique, playing so fast that only aficionados will catch the subtle differences between musicians. Howe is a speed demon, essentially, and he can't keep his right hand off the fretboard or stop himself from sweep-picking even on the acoustic "Maniacal" or his classical piece, "Her Dance," two of ...

Cactus Cruz album
$13.15
When the dense and often difficult guitar virtuoso subgenre fell on tough commercial times in the '90s, first-tier artists like Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen began to lose their relevance. As hard as the new musical environment was on the legitimate icons of shred, it was nearly catastrophic for many talented but undefined ...

Cactus Cruz music CDs
$19.09
DUKE ELLINGTON LIVE AT THE BLUE NOTE contains the complete recorded performance of Ellington's Orchestra during its three sets at the Blue Note, on August 9, 1959. There were a number of songs that were performed but not captured on tape; otherwise, this two-disc set widely expands on the selections previously issued (and long out of print) as a single LP entitled "Live At The Blue Note."
Recorded live at The Blue Note, Chicago, Illinois on August 9, 1959. Includes liner notes by Stanley Dance.
LIVE AT THE BLUE NOTE contains three sets of loose, rambunctious Duke Ellington that were recorded on August 9, 1959 at the Duke's favorite Chicago club, less than a year before the legendary venue shut its doors. This music is filled with fun and exuberance--these sets are clearly the work of musicians letting their hair down and kicking out the jams in front of an appreciative audience of true jazz lovers. Surprises include composer Billy Strayhorn sitting in on piano for several tunes (including "Take the 'A' Train"), and a wild drum solo on "Duael Fuel ...

Despite theses changes of tack, the Louisiana native's string-bending skills are still something to hear, from the very Lenny Kravitz-like funk of "Be Mine" to the Blue Cheer-y instrumental "A Little Bit More." The quality of Shepherd's singing is impressive, thanks to smooth phrasing that works particularly well on the soulful, piano-based "Hey, What Do You Say" and "Spank," a funky strut that doubles as a Kid Rock duet. Longtime fans will be relieved to discover Shepherd's former vocalist Noah Hunt putting in cameos, both on the soaring "Believe" and pleading power-ballad "Burdens."
Saddled with the "blues wunderkind" tag since breaking on the ...
