Sammy Hagar has continued to talk up Joe Satriani’s Eddie Van Halen chops, with the wheels of their highly anticipated Best of All Worlds now well-greased. The former Van Halen and Montrose vocalist has picked up where David Lee Roth’s failed EVH tribute left off in 2022 – which saw Michael Anthony and, strangely, Jason Newsted in talks to play a role – by piecing together a band to perform a Van Halen-centric setlist.

“Joe has taken the essence of Eddie's guitar solos, and he puts his heart and soul into it… it's so much better than a guy just mimicking him exactly”: Sammy Hagar can’t believe how good Joe Satriani sounds playing Van Halen songs

One hopes there will soon come a time in which the memories of the Covid crisis will fade conclusively, but until then its legacy seems likely to linger. As further evidence we have the ensemble Pandemic Solution, a trio originally assembled by pianist Norvald Dahl during the early stages of the pandemic in 2020. Although one might wish for an alternative name for the group—and the same goes for the inscrutable title of the release, Afterdog—there is no disputing the quality of the music on hand. Accessing the talents of one of the strongest rhythm tandems in Norwegian jazz, bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten and drummer Håkon Mjaset Johansen, Dahl offers us a scintillating slice of post-bop jazz, superbly played and well recorded.

A picture (a video, in fact) is worth a thousand words. Consider one of Howard McGhee around 1966. It is at the Newport Jazz Festival All Stars, and an unlikely group of trumpeters is doing a bop tune at metronome-busting speed. The group includes Bobby Hackett and Ruby Braff (unlikely, no?). Hackett is delightedly laughing. Braff walks off into the wings sulking. Young Jimmy Owens has just upstaged Howard McGhee, to put it mildly. The guy selected to teach Owens a lesson on the second chorus is Dizzy Gillespie. McGhee, in the late 1940s known to be a Top Gun of the trumpet, does not even bother to play. He does enjoy Gillespie, for they are old friends. And Gillespie played, well, like Gillespie. By the 1970s, some music writers will refer to Howard McGhee as "forgotten." Sic transit Gloria Mundi. From Downbeat Poll winner (1949) to comeback player (early 1960s) to forgotten (1970s). The jazz life was never easy, and McGhee, a brilliant player, was at Ground Zero when it all blew up, fueled by race, drugs and a little too much time around Charlie Parker. It is another of those dreadful stories. It does not exactly have a happy ending, but it turned out better than McGhee would have thought possible in the early 1950s. This recording is an artefact of McGhee's hard-won rehabilitation. And it is a very good one. Mostly, it swings like mad.
