“Finally unearthed! The lost 1970 album by Chicago's Brevity, Home Is Where Your Dog Is, emerges from the vaults.
Recorded under the aegis of Zappa's Straight/Bizarre label, but never released, this release showcases the raw talent of Rick Vittenson, Mark Breyer, and drummer David Winogrond.
Lost for over half a century, these tracks-now expertly restored by Prof. Stoned-combine the quirky spirit of the Kinks with the rich musicality of bands like Procol Harum. This overdue release includes...

"Christian is one of the most lyrical and soulful alto players to have emerged from the UK in recent years. Loved for his melodic playing and pure tone, he has risen to prominence on the British jazz scene. He is now a regular at London's prestigious...

A very original and psychedelic (in the best sense of the word) album, from Argentina. This is their second album and has been released on Universal, so someone besides me hears the quality of this group. This is a beautifully orchestrated...

“The Bridge has been building itself since 2013, inspired by a simple observation: if it is now well known that jazz and improvised music, in France and in Europe, have found their flight, their specificity and their independence, some North American stages, particularly in Chicago and the Midwest, continue to develop at their own rhythm(s)...

Anne Briggs is a too little known UK folk singer, with a marvelous voice, who recorded a couple of albums and then decided she couldn't stand 'the scene' and walked away from music and her career. This previously unreleased album is her final work. "Re...

“The sound is unashamedly rooted in 1970s giants like Yes and Genesis, and they remind me a lot of the better moments of Spock’s Beard. The music is filled with lush synths and organ, and the guitar has a noticeably modern style of distortion to it. While the songs are often in progressive...

First release on a new label and it's a winner! Beautiful cover by illustrator William Block. The music, created by Jacob Wick-trumpet, Evan Smith-tenor, Adam Dotson-euphonium, Jason Nazary-drums and band leader Aryeh Kobrinsky-bass perform high energy...

“Brix and the Extricated have some great songs and fine players to interpret them. I've seen them live and all the energy is perfectly brought into the studio on this release. The songs are often commercial but with dark shadows drifting across them hence my saying ‘If Blondie had not gone pop’. This band could throw Rip Her To Shreds into their set and you would believe it was theirs.”

“Four BBC sessions recorded at the Maida Vale studios between October 1996 and August 2003. 15 tracks.”

“Mother Is The Milky Way was originally released as a tour only CD in 2009. The album has been remastered. 11 tracks available on a single LP or CD.”

It's good working in an office with a bunch of younger people, because I hear a lot of stuff that is extremely interesting and I wouldn't hear otherwise. Broadcast are an electronica band and this is their latest album, which is actually a collection...

“The legendary performance of Frank Zappa's music with former Mothers of invention lead singer Napoleon Murphy Brock and the dynamic Ensemble Musikfabrik from Germany. Recorded live at Zappanale #30 in 2019.
Featuring the fantastic art work of longtime Zappa collaborator Cal Schenkel who exclusively designed the beautiful 6 page booklet. Orchestrated and produced by Ali N. Askin.”

• Echidna‘s Arf (Of You)
• Don‘t You Ever Wash That Thing

Quiet and ethereal folk + electronics + orchestral (presumably all electronic) by this new generation folkie. Quite intriguing and lovely.

“A touring and studio musician who has been a longtime member of Sharon Van Etten's band among her other indie folk-minded collaborations, Heather Woods Broderick stepped out on her own in 2009 with the acoustic album From the Ground. She went on to expand her sound with atmospheric electronics on 2015's Glider and continues to fortify textures on her third...

Diverified, soulful and skillful the formation around guitar guru Peter Bursch is presenting the new songs. In June 2014 the remarkable debut from 1971 was voted by the New York music blog Pigeons & Planes on rank 9 of the most important Krautrock albums. The new one, "Indian Camel", with female...

“A young, super-tight and intense power trio from Moscow, Brom genuinely push heavily, crossing over among improv, noise-rock and free jazz with Sunstroke.”

"This wildly eclectic CD reflects its members' omnivorous tastes: haunting Armenian laments, Osvaldo Golijov's arrangement of a lovely ballad by the Mexican art-rock band Cafe Tacuba, and the driving Gypsy-inflected improvisations of Colin Jacobsen's tour de force 'Brooklesca.' Brooklyn Rider is recreating the 300-year-old form of string quartet as a vital and creative 21st-century ensemble."-National Public Radio

"Born out of a desire to use the rich medium of the string quartet as a vehicle for..

"Cross-over" [not classical / not jazz / not rock, but all 3] string quartet's latest. A fine ensemble performing the music of RIGHT NOW!

"Rooted in New York City's artistic firmament, this sonically diverse album features works by Battles veteran Tyondai Braxton, Brooklyn Rider's Colin Jacobsen, Bang On A Can's Evan Ziporyn, electro-acoustic composer Paula Matthusen and Kyle Sanna.

“Understanding is a TWO CD SET of a previously unreleased recording of drummer Roy Brooks captured live by the Left Bank Jazz Society at The Famous Ballroom in Baltimore, MD on November 1, 1970. Featuring a stellar band with trumpeter Woody Shaw, saxophonist Carlos Garnett, pianist Harold Mabern and bassist Cecil McBee, ''Understanding'' was recorded 5 months after the classic live album ''The Free Slave'' (also recorded by the Left Bank Jazz Society).
This recording features a full performance by...

Peter Brötzmann, tenor saxophone
Fred van Hove, piano
Han Bennink, drums, percussion
"Recorded at the height of their powers as the leading free jazz trio in Europe, 1971 includes some of the hottest and heaviest music ever made by Brötzmann, starting with an inflammatory, incandescent 26-minute live track recorded at the New Jazz Meeting auf Burg Altena. Only available on a nearly-impossible-to-find LP sampler issued at the time by the festival, this marks "Just for Altena"'s first...

“A long desire of extraordinaire saxophone player Peter Brötzmann was a studio recording of some of his favorite jazz tunes and his own music -- a grand bridge over the music important for his life and his musical career in the past and present. Trost invited him to Martin Siewert's studio in Vienna to do so in summer 2018. The result is intense, beautiful and touching.
Features compositions by Harry Barris/Gordon Clifford, Sigmund Romberg/Oscar Hammerstein II, Herbie Nichols, Dizzy Gillespie...
