...measure, Matisyahu’s sold-out concert at Avalon last Sunday was a great success. Though he remained in the spotlight for the duration of the concert, his band grabbed the attention, exploring the boundaries of songs through jams, extended guitar solos, and a particularly exuberant, crowd-pleasing drum solo. But it was Matisyahu’s beatbox showcase that most consistently captivated the spectators...
Kurt Rosenwinkel Group Friday, Feb. 17, and Saturday, Feb. 18. 7:30 and 10:00 PM. Regattabar at the Charles Hotel. $18. Who needs college? Not Kurt Rosenwinkel. In 1992, after spending two-and-a-half years studying jazz guitar at the Berklee School of Music, Rosenwinkel dropped out, leaving Boston for the greener pastures of international jazz stardom. This weekend, he returns to his college town—only this time he’ll be playing across the Charles in Cambridge’s Regattabar Jazz Club. After leaving school, Rosenwinkel toured internationally with famed vibraphonist Gary Burton...
...rapid-fire rhymes and the offbeat, noisy instrumentals, the compilation comes up with “Sick 2 Def” by Plan B, which morphs grime into an angry, impassioned assault on life’s problems, with the main rapper accompanied only by a rhythmic acoustic guitar.

The problem is that this is supposed to display grime in all its forms, but for all the attempts at variety, it’s still hard...
...haunting boss theme from the classic NES game "Metroid." Regardless of origin, all the tracks burst out of the tightly-wound rock quartet with a depth only hinted at in their previous, synthesized iterations. The concept, while undoubtedly gimmicky, is far from innovative; suburban nerds with Nintendos and guitars have been combining their twin passions even before the anthemic "F-Zero" theme blazed out of early-90's rec room speakers. A full-blown scene exists today, with a multitude of bands and corresponding aesthetic philosophies; groups like the NESKimoes and their sworn rivals the Minibosses have feuded publicly over...
...Pegi, a backup singer here, during a rendition of the love song Harvest Moon or Young's hokey wave to the rafters after referencing country great Hank Williams. It helps too that Young surrounds himself with a team of accomplished musicians, including longtime collaborator Ben Keith on pedal steel guitar and singer Emmylou Harris, who accompanies Young shoulder to shoulder during a soulful sequence of Prairie Wind's This Old Guitar. There's more to the filmmaking than one might imagine. Demme employed nine cameramen to catch the action, and he stopped the "live" show between songs to reset camera...
