"The Portuguese (but born in California 1986, from a Mozambican natural and a Brazilian of Italian heritage) drummer Gabriel Ferrandini is usually found in freely improvised music contexts (those, for instance, of Red Trio and Rodrigo Amado Motion Trio in the celebrated Lisbon scene and with an impressive international collaboration history: Alexander Von Schlippenbach, Axel Dörner, Evan P

“This underground acid folk mega rarity was originally a private pressing for the tiny Nicro label. The album has since been reissued but the original pressing remains as one of the most valuable folk albums out there. It's not hard to guess that the sound quality of this record is very lo-fi but in my opinion it's a good thing in this album's case.
Songs such as "Flowers", "Sad Eyed Lady", "Piscean Ride" and "Angel" for example are really nice psych folk tracks. The album includes 14 songs and...

"The rich Scandinavian scene keeps revealing all its multiplicity and inventiveness. Now it happens with the first opus by the quartet Festen, assembled by Isak Hedtjarn, Lisa Ullén, Elsa Bergman and Erik Carlsson. The last track of the album is titled “it never gets better than this”, and it’s right: to go beyond what you’ll find here would be difficult, but considering the quality and the capacity for...

“Celebrating the 15th anniversary, the Swiss Rockin 'Teenage Combo will present itself with a live double album from the last two tours in 2017 through Germany and Switzerland. From over 40 hours of raw material, a harmonious mix has been created between Alltime Zappa favorites, self-interpretations and unknown works from the work of the Big Z. It's a dirty job, but one has to do it eventually. Or seven and a half. FiDO (2003-?), Seven-eyed men and their lady-like mixer - embark on a 15-year tour on...

"You might be surprised to learn of the link between Wynton Marsalis and Anthony Braxton. It, or more accurately “he,” is trombonist Joe Fiedler, a leading practitioner of the multiphonic techniques pioneered by Albert Mangelsdorff and Paul Rutherford. Fi

"Alvin Fielder is a drummer because at age 12 he heard a Max Roach recording and liked it. His family wanted him to study Pharmacy, his father’s profession, and although he became a Pharmacist, music helped shift his destiny. In 1963 he was one of the fou

“Sand is a Fields composition for 20 instrumentalists, three singers, and conductor. It combines three areas in which he has often worked: modularity, manipulation of text, and integration of composition and improvisation. Like Fields’ previous modular works, Sand is constructed of units whose interrelationships vary from weak to strong. In performance a conductor spontaneously selects, combines, sequences, and layers modules. Sand also includes improvisational elements within structures and “organic...

“From the polyglot border region of Ticino in Switzerland - well-known for its beautiful Lake Maggiore and the International Film Festival in Locarno - comes Final Step, the seven-member band of guitarist Matteo Finali. Live @ Il Magazzino is the band's third album since its formation in 2003.

The album was recorded in the studio of Mauro Fiero, who also produced the...

"In Ogni Luogo was released in early 1999 on the IrIdea label, and is notable for the pristine production work by former PFM collaborator Roberto Colombo. Back to a four piece, the album is mostly instrumental, although vocalist Francesca Laho guests on In Ogni Luogo and i>ContinuitadiLaraneltempo while Sergio Caputo adds lilting violin to Snaporaz and Le Citta Indicibili and takes a more aggressive lead role in Coro Elettrico. The compositions are mostly quite laid back, refined numbers which are...

"Finisterre, one of Fabio Zuffanti's many projects, were founded in the now distant 1994, debuting the following year with a self-titled album that immediately pushed the band at the peak of the reborn Italian prog scene of the '90s. It was the beginning of a beautiful story that lasted about ten years, marked by four wonderful releases that still don't suffer today from the inevitable passing of time. And from that beginning, 25 long years have already passed: reformed for Zuffanti's Z-Fest event in...
