Bman's Blues Report

Jane Getter Premonition is the killer progressive-fusion vehicle steered by NYC guitar ace and singer-composer Jane Getter . It’s basically where heavy prog-rock grit crashes headfirst into razor-sharp jazz fusion—zero filler, all teeth. Flanked by an elite crew of monster players like keyboardist Adam Holzman and guitarist Alex Skolnick, Getter has built a reputation for shredding right through traditional genre borders. They’re back at it with Transmogrify , a record that leans hard into raw sonic mutations and heavy, shape-shifting grooves.   > 🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM   Add this Record to Your Collection Available in Digital Formats. 🛒 Buy Album on Amazon Store As an Amazon Associate, Bman earns from qualifying purchases.

Tas Cru calls himself a "blues eclectic," mostly because he refuses to get boxed into just one style. Based out of Central New York, he’s a seasoned singer, songwriter, and guitarist who has spent years building a reputation as a great storyteller.

Asch made it his mission to document the blues as living history, tracking legendary artists across decades. When the Smithsonian took over the catalog in 1987, they promised to keep every single recording permanently available, preserving the foundational DNA of American music. For years, their absolute gold-standard blues anthology was a 26-track CD from 2003 called Classic Blues . It packed 50 years of music—from the 1940s to the 1990s—into one masterclass collection, covering everything from gritty Delta styles to smooth Chicago electric tracks. It became a massive hit for the label, but vinyl fans had to wait more than twenty years to finally get it on wax. That wait ended in the summer of 2026 when Folkways finally dropped Classic Blues as a gatefold double-LP vinyl reissue . The remastered 2-LP ...
