    Jasta …And Jasta For All Album Review

    Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed has released another great solo album.

    This time, he put out a Thrash Metal album called …And Jasta For All.

    The album title and artwork is a take off/tribute to Metallica’s …And Justice For All album.

    This album is HAAAARRRRD, as Jamey likes to say.

    Charlie and Nick Bellmore play guitar and drums, respectively, and Joey Concepcion plays some guitar on it too. It also features a few Thrash Metal legends guesting, such as Scott Ian of Anthrax/S.O.D./Mr. Bungle/Pearl/The Damned Things, Steve “Zetro” Souza of Exodus, Chuck Billy of Testament, and Phil Demmel of VIO-LENCE, Machine Head, and Kerry King of Slayer’s band.

    If you are a fan of Thrash Metal, you will love this.

    Thanks Jamey for making another great album and for signing it. 

    It was released May 17, but I actually received it weeks before official release because it was shipped very quickly.

    Again thanks Jamey.  You rock!!!

    Miles The Autobiography by Miles Davis with Quincy Troupe Book Review

    I have been a Miles Davis fan since I was a teenager.

    My brother got me into his music.

    Miles Davis (1926-1991) is one of the biggest contributors to Jazz music and just music in general.

    His trumpet playing influenced so many and his music is timeless.

    He had a great ear for music and for talent.

    He worked with a lot of great musicians, some of whom were Charlie “Bird” Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, and soooooo many more.

    His body of work is phenomenal.

    Such classic albums such as ‘Round About Midnight, Kind Of Blue, Bitches Brew, and a TON of others.

    This book, released in 1989, is about his life, told by him in his words.

    No filter.  It’s all there.

    He was one of a kind and there will never be another like him.

    Seek out this book and his great music.

    You won’t regret it.
