'Menlove Ave.' represents some of the best of what John Lennon produced between 'Imagine' and 'Double Fantasy.' You just had to skip ahead to side two.

There’s a site that’s mostly about tapping into those new jazz releases 😉 somethingelsereviews.com

Something Else!

Located at the intersection of prog, jazz and rock.

Everyone needs to tap back into jazz. At some point we stopped treating new jazz releases as we do the classics and now we have masterful projects by Immanuel Wilkins, Ahmed, Tomeka Reid, Dave Douglas, etc going totally under the radar. Sad to see a lack of a listener base there

America, New York City, and classic rock were reshaped as the World Trade Center's South Tower collapsed 25 years ago today at 9:59AM, followed by the North Tower at 10:28. Music legends quickly began to push back against this new darkness. Here's how: ultimateclassicrock.com/911-…
