  1. Hello everyone, I am new to this site, and I am an avid Carver lover. I have two Carver 1.0t in mono pushing my AR TSW-910 speakers. These speakers love the power from my amps. I also have 2 Carver cubes. One in mono running the center channel and the other in stereo running the surrounds. I'm using a Yamaha receiver as the preamp. I bought all my Carver amps new back in 1988(I think it was 1988 as it has been so long). I'm starting to get a pop when I shut the amps down, so I think it is time to get them serviced. They have been bullet proof since the day I bought them. I'm in the Fond du Lac, WI area if anyone has a good suggestion. If not, I am planning on reaching out to Nelion Audio. Thank you and I look forward to taking time to look at all the posts on this forum. Rick

  3. Chris Parker Septet, Reunion was released on March 6, 2026. "It is evident from the first tantalizing notes of "Emmy's Shuffle" that Parker chose his songs and his companions with care. The septet performs seamlessly as a unit and boasts a number of strong and resourceful soloists, from saxophonist Alejandro Aviles and trombonist Doug Beavers, to baritone Dave Riekenberg, violinist Rob Thomas and Parker himself, who plays the sort of chameleon-like piano that nestles comfortably in any groove—which is a good thing, as the scope of his music ranges from blues and bop to funk, Latin, mainstream jazz and beyond."

  4. April Varner, Ella was released on March 20, 2026. "It would seem that, when vocal chops were distributed, April Varner received more than her fair share. And although she only started singing jazz in 2016, seven years later in 2023, she succeeded in capturing the International Ella Fitzgerald Vocal Competition’s top prize. Now, as a seasoned artist with a brace of albums under her belt, ‘Ella’ finds her paying hommage to her inspiration, the incomparable Ms Fitzgerald, whose sumptuous voice was ever an instrument of joy and magnificence."

  5. Peter Erskine, Peregrine was released on April 10, 2026. "Piano trio records are everywhere, and plenty of them blur together after the first few songs. Peregrine is a different story. Peter Erskine had been wanting to record some of these songs for years — “God Only Knows,” “Wichita Lineman” — and when the right moment came, he brought in pianist Alan Pasqua, a longtime collaborator, and bassist Scott Colley, who was new to the partnership and brought a fresh energy. You can hear it in the playing — a looseness and joy that makes the whole record feel like these three couldn’t wait to get in the room together. Nearly every track is a first take. When the bass and piano are this locked in, when the drums are this perfectly placed, why would you do it again?" You can read the rest of the review here...

  14. Joanne Shaw Taylor, Black and Gold was released on June 6, 2025. "This captivating mix of subtlety and rugged blues-based attitude shows how expertly Joanne Shaw Taylor crafts her sound. She paints ‘Black & Gold’ with a colorful palette, appealing to her established rootsier fans while broadening boundaries to entice a larger audience." You can read the rest of the review here... Not mentioned in that review is that Joe Bonamassa contributes to a couple of the tracks, and the album was released on Bonamassa's Journeyman label. https://www.bluesblastmagazine.com/joanne-shaw-taylor-black-gold-album-review/
