Mass Mass OF The Fermenting Dregs

T Lavitz may be best known as the 6 time Grammy nominated keyboardist of The Dixie Dregs, however his complete performance and teaching resumes are both extensive! When he isn't recording or performing live, T teaches at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. This brilliant DVD features a wide range of material including a private piano lesson with T, a mini-concert, the Rock and Beyond video, an instructional DVD-Rom and a range of live clips featuring fellow Dixie Dregs band mates Steve Morse, Rod Morgenstein, Jerry Goodman and Dave LaRue…

Steve Morse (guitar) and T Lavitz (keyboards), the creative foundation of the Dixie Dregs, produced an outstanding record with this effort. Joined by Rod Morgenstein (drums), Andy West (bass). and Alan Sloan (violin), they finally released a studio recording of Cruise Control, a regular show closer for the band to this day. Kat Food is another outstanding track. Carefully arranged and tightly rehearsed, this album represents a tour de force for the band, both in performance and composition. Day 444 is a hidden gem, dedicated to the American hostages held in the US Embassy in Tehran, Iran, for 444 days. This piece is a beautiful ballad that the band rarely performs. This composition alone makes the album worth getting. The band's blend of jazz, rock, country, and western classical music remains as satisfying to listen to as it did when this was released.

Frank La Rocca extends the genre of the festal Missa solemnis in his Mass of the Americas, a sublime setting of the Traditional Latin Mass for choir and orchestra. La Rocca weaves a rich tapestry with serene Gregorian chants, folk melodies from 18th-century regions of México, and florid praises in Nahuatl, the language spoken by Our Lady of Guadalupe to St. Juan Diego in 1531. Cultures past and present are joined musically as a witness to faith, hope, and reconciliation in this masterpiece of liturgical art.

"Profit" is the 4th album of all-star prog rock band The Jelly Jam. The band consists of Ty Tabor of King's X on guitar, keyboards, and vocals; Rod Morgenstein of The Dixie Dregs and Winger on drums and keyboards; and John Myung of Dream Theater on bass, moog, and Chapman stick.
In order to create the musical landscape of the album, the trio recorded a tremendous amount of music, which included a lot of experimentation. The band then pulled together 12 songs that, while individually different, cohesively create a strong musical sound bed for the story line. The musical careers of the band members, from an individual standpoint, highlight a collection of diverse influences…

After being on the road for almost a year and a half sharing stages with bands like Kamelot, Alestorm & Blackguard during fall last year, and with Kittie this past spring. The Agonist is ready to release their third studio album Prisoners. After two years in the making they are breaking apart from their previous album Lullabies for the Dormant Mind (2009) in a sense. The Agonist on this album presents an evolved sound with sharp guitars, crushing drums, and a more empowered Alissa White-Gluz on vocals.
