Upcoming Zakk Wylde Gibson ZV
Zakk Wylde has stated on an interview over at Modern Guitars Magazine that Gibson will be putting out a new guitar model designed by him called Zakk-V or ZV: “They made me the Flying V, so I’ve been jamming on the V a lot. I designed this other one, it’s called a ZV, Zakk-V, it’s a combination of an SG meets a Flying V, which sounds slammin’. They did an awesome job with that, so they’re going to end up putting that one out as well. I’ve just been using, you know, same thing, my Les Pauls and then the Flying V.”
Zakk Wylde turned 40 years old last January. He is the founder of Black Label Society, a band he started in 1998 and that has released 9 albums. He is also the guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne, an association that started in the late 80′s when he was only 20 years old. Check out the rest of the Modern Guitars Magazine interview here.

Lindsey Boullt: Composition
Lindsey Boullt’s second album entitled “Composition“, was released last June, 2007. An established guitarist, composer and instructor in the San Francisco area, Boullt is a teacher at the renowned Guitar Institute. He is also the founder of the “Musician’s Showcase”, a highly respected forum for up and coming musicians, bands and students in the San Francisco Bay area. Containing ten original compositions and including an impressive cast of musicians, “Composition” is an intense album charged with influences ranging from metal and middle eastern music to jazz-rock and everything in between. Boullt is a musician of an eclectic nature. The album features artists such as violinist Jerry Goodman, keyboardist Derek Sherinian, bassist Stu Hamm, and drummer Atma Anur among others; a great band that feels at home playing complex passages and odd time meters. “Composition” has enough punch throughout to keep you listening. It is strong and somewhat dark. Boullt with no doubt is a great player, not only he has the chops, but he has great musicality as well. I would not be surprised to see him on the next G3 lineup.

Ricardo Silveira: Outro Rio
Outro Rio
Outro Rio, which means “another river” in Portuguese, is a Brazilian rooted contemporary jazz record containing various influences. One can hear traces of Silveira’s native land as well as from other parts of Latin America. The mark that American jazz has left in his playing is also obvious. From ECM tunes, to traditional Brazilian and Latin American landscapes, that’s what you will find in this record. Why Silveira is not more known in the US is beyond me. It’s clear that he measures up with the likes of John Scofield, Bill Frisell or other contemporary jazz guitarists of the same level. From acoustic guitar, bass and drums trios, to tunes with electric guitar, piano, sax, clarinet or percussion (including a track with a singer), Outro Rio is definitely a must have for any jazz guitarist.
“I play from a Brazilian point of view, but not traditional Brazilian music. There are elements of funk and jazz, but I don’t like to say that I play fusion. I’m just a musician that likes a lot of different kinds of music and I feel it’s great to have those musical worlds to explore“.
