"Wonderful inspired work by some of the greats of modern jazz. Joining Marc are Bill Frisell, John Scofield, and Peter Erskine. No horns, no keys, just two master guitarists dueling over thoughtful and energetic compositions. This album is different...

Colin Bass has been a professional musician for 45 years and has worked in a gigantic variety of forms, but for most folks here and for the purposes of this album, he is best known as a long-term member of Camel. This is a pastoral-style progressive rock album, reminiscent to me in some aspects of John G. Perry's Sunset Wading, although with more vocals than that album.
Appearing here are:
- Colin Bass / bass guitar, guitars, vocals, keyboards
- Kim Burton / piano, accordion, kaval, ciftetel

"What a super team. A bassist associated with the best New York improvisers - Mark Helias; a drummer who has continued his meteoric rise since his stint as a member of Braxton's well-known Nineties quartet - Gerry Hemingway; and a trombonist known for his

"First CD reissue for the ultra-rare second work of acclaimed keyboarder Luciano Basso. As usual a great instrumental work, mostly unknown, underrated and of course very rare in its original form. Musically it is the usual and great blend of classical...

"BASTA! is an electric progressive rock quintet from Tuscany, consisting of
Damiano BONDI (Diamonica Hammond 44)
Saverio SISTI (Electric Guitar, 8-String Guitar)
Giacomo SOLDANI (Bass)
Andrea TINACCI (Bass Clarinet, Clarinet)
Roberto MOLISSE (Drums)
Melding heavy progressive rock, jazz, symphonic, and avant-garde sensibilities, their instrumental compositions are zany and adventurous."

“Once upon a time there was “With a Little Hell From My Friends”… but that was sooo 2022. Now it’s time for MORE. Yes! “w. a. l. h. f. MORE f.” is here!!!
Without any doubt, this album is expected to be one of the very best releases of the year and already ranks high at Prog Archives, República Progresiva and other Prog Rock pages around the world.

I know that John spent a lot of time thinking about this album and recording a lot of things that did NOT go on this album and you can hear the result of that ‘quality control’ immediately.

'Between the Axiom and the Sigh' is the first new album from Ephemeral Sun keyboardist John Battema in 8 years. Inspired and influenced by sci-fi soundtracks from the late 70's/80's and the keyboard-heavy electronic/prog/rock of the 80's, it..

Peter Brötzmann: tenor and alto saxophones, tárogató, B-flat clarinet
Johannes Bauer: trombone
"Following the death of German trombonist Johannes Bauer in May 2016, Peter Brötzmann decided to pay tribute to the many years of comradery and collaboration he and Bauer shared, from Globe Unity in the '70s to the Peter Brötzmann Group and the Chicago Tentet. This disc presents a previously unreleased recording of a beautiful live duo performance from Osaka, 1997, which had been waiting in Brötzmann's..

"I found there to be very deep connections going back centuries, between certain types of Jewish music (my earliest musical influences) and Arabic, Middle Eastern and South Asian music. To make a long story short, researching these musical connections and composing music based on them became the focus of my project, Bridges, for my Guggenheim Fellowship. This music represents a "bridge", highlighting the similarities found in diverse religious music traditions that connect us, expressed in a modern jazz...

"Baumann/Koek is another hitherto undiscovered treasure of German electronic music, the only album by the electronic music pairing of Wolfgang Baumann and Ata Koek, both from Kempten, Bavaria, Germany. It was mixed in Conny Plank's studio and distributed, without a label, by the duo themselves in 1978. The music owes much to the Berlin School; layered sequencer patterns, swirling chord tapestries, a computer beat here and there. Eastern elements or hints thereof add a particular charm to Baumann/Koek...

An important, long-time and key member of Tangerine Dream, Peter Baumann was with the group through basically all of their most important work.
This was his first solo album and was released while he was still in TD. It's a fine work and it has been unavailable on CD for nearly 20 years.

"While still a member of Tangerine Dream, Peter Baumann released his first solo album, Romance '76. It's not far removed from the music that TD was making at the time -- in fact, references to Rubycon...

This is a electronic / laptop goodie!

“In the early months of 2020, when the COVID-19 outbreak ravaged his home country of Italy, prolific composer Bruno Bavota did what we all would eventually do: isolated and waited. What followed was a year of fear, anxiety, and dread. Eventually, fear gave way to fatigue, and the anxiety metamorphosized into nervous energy. The compulsion to create became more powerful than the compression and weight. And so were born Apartment Songs and Apartment Loops...

“bBb makes everyday music for distracted times. Influences from near and afar blow in and over - and out again. Most of it pulls through the narrow neck of the sopranino sax and the emerging sounding facets of the trombone vault, but also almost archaeologically colored sound-bearing artefacts are displayed and dissected in real time.
A crack and a bang - and then jazz like a glowing blanket thrown over everything...

“Two track album from Ireland's Brian Conniffe, previously known for his work with Nurse With Wound. The lengthy pieces feature the late Simon Morris (Ceramic Hobs) providing spoken word he wrote exclusively for it.
This album was recorded from 2007 to 2009, and consists of two expansive pieces, which - as the title suggests - are

“This legendary live album was released in July 1977 and would prove to be the band’s most successful album, peaking at number 10 in the UK charts. The album was issued at a time of growing commercial success for the band and followed on the heels of two highly acclaimed studio albums in thirteen months, Sunburst Finish and Modern Music, both of which reached the top twenty of the UK album charts.
Live! In the Air Age would be the band’s only live record and was recorded on a series of dates in...
