"When David Greenberger first embarked on what has become a life-long journey, drummer Chris Corsano was not yet five years old! In 1979, after graduating from art school in Boston, Greenberger took the job of activities director at the Duplex Nursing Home, an all-male elder care facility in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, and began collecting the stories, poems and music reviews of its aged patients for what became his Duplex Planet project, an undertaking that would eventually encompass nearly 200 issues...

“Peace Beyond Conflict is the latest trio release from master pianist and improviser, Burton Greene with Adam Lane on bass and Dave Brandt on drums. The listener is brought into a performance at a loft studio in Brooklyn in 2003. Greene’s compositions and trio arrangements set forth boundless improvisations. “People must hear this.. we have to get it out!” exclaimed Greene upon hearing the recording over 15 years later. Now we...

“One of the most engaging team-ups in exploratory jazz celebrates 30 years of simpatico collaboration and creativity with the release of Stay With It, their first outing on the Clean Feed imprint. It finds Phillip Greenlief and Scott Amendola developing the febrile dialogues mapped out on their deliciously bristling 1995 debut, Collect My Thoughts, an absorbing set that saw the pair.

“Greenslade's innovative, groundbreaking and dynamic performances captured by the BBC on two discs. Featuring all of Greenslade's BBC sessions, recorded between 1973 and 1974.
This includes two In Concert performances recorded a year apart, offering a glimpse of the excellence of the band in a live environment.

After Colosseum broke up, keyboardist Dave Greenslade formed his own progressive rock band, which most notably featured two keyboardists, bass and drums.
In addition to the original album, this features an entire extra CD of BBC recordings made from right around the time of this album and giving listeners a glimpse of how this original and early version of the band sounded live at the time!

This was previously available some years ago, but has been unavailable for quite some time. It's pretty much what you would expect of something released so much after the fact: a very good to excellent bootleg sounding of some pretty great material...

"When I was 50, my wife arranged a surprise birthday party for me and invited all the members of both COLOSSEUM and GREENSLADE," Dave explains. "By the end of the night we had decided to reform COLOSSEUM and we did a big reunion tour. But I found myself..

“A newly re-mastered and expanded 2 CD edition of the classic 1975 album, Time & Tide by GREENSLADE. Formed in 1972 by former Colosseum keyboard player Dave Greenslade, the band also featured former Web and Samurai member Dave Lawson (keyboards, vocals), former Colosseum bass player Tony Reeves and drummer Andrew McCulloch (formerly with King Crimson and Fields).
The calibre of the members of Greenslade ensured that the group would be innovative, ground breaking and dynamic in their musical...

“Dave Greenslade the English keyboard player who had his own eponymous band Greenslade as well as being a founder member of Colosseum has been back into the studio to remaster the original recordings he made in the period from 1979 to the mid 90's which were then re-recorded and released as Greenslade, Colosseum or solo album tracks. These never before released original tracks, mostly written by Dave, even feature his own vocals, as well as playing all the instruments himself.”

Madison Greenstone - Bb clarinet

"Each of these studies takes as its basis a mode of resonance latent in the Bb clarinet. This album collects iterative and essayistic reflections on the self-generative qualities of these resonances. The instrument becomes a site of indeterminacy. What happens when resonance overflows? Each resonance has some form of inner agency, some form of emergent phenomena that I search to breathe into being. This demands a continually renewed attunement to the liveliness...

The first solo album by the guitarist of Radiohead.

“Greenwood pens a science fusion of string orchestras, guitar penury, and cold outer-planetary beats. At times listening to this I literally feel as if I’m caught up in the workings of some giant, malevolent machine; it is avant-garde right down to the zinc nightmares of the song titles.”-rym

“Guillermo Gregorio has been exploring space and form and gesture in music for a very long time. In 1969, with composers Norberto Chavarri and Roque de Pedro, he cofounded the collective Movimiento Música Más, which for a while staged public interventions, performances, and happenings even as the political skies were darkening again. He finally left Argentina in 1985, living in Vienna, L.A., and Cologne through the end of that decade, before settling in Chicago for the next 25 years. Already in Vienna...

“The veteran Guillermo Gregorio is back and this is the debut of a duo with the young double bass player Brandon Lopez. The clarinetist after having lived in the sixties in Buenos Aires and later moved to Chicago where for years he was an integral part of the local scene, now lives in New York and among the many and more recent collaborations, the meeting with Lopez is actually worth note. The listening between the two is superlative and the sound produced by clarinet and double bass is warm and...

“Turning shadows into sonic emotional rivers, synthesist and composer Jeff Greinke's A Thousand Year Flood skirts the edges where modern classical, electronic and ambient music converge. Working with cellist/violist Heather Bentley, Greinke's first record for Projekt in 26 years is a hybrid of ambient chamber music and electroacoustic beauty. Throughout the near-hour-long set, atmosphere is critical to the impact as Greinke locates his paired-back minimalism within a setting of spaciousness and....

"Five years in the making, Jeff Greinke's newest release BEFORE SUNRISE explores the more acoustical side of the ambient / impressionist territory of the electronic music genre. This new work, the third Greinke title on the Spotted Peccary Music label, is a logical progression from his previous releases, painting abstract landscapes and emotive expressions with ample use of acoustic instruments such as piano, cello, viola, clarinets and vibraphone, along with electronic elements of sampled textures and...

“Oceanic is undulating ambient minimalism floating upon dreamy and somewhat hazy eddies in a slow-moving stream of wonder. Jeff Greinke's second album upon his return to Projekt -- and 24th overall in a 40-year career -- marks a departure from last year's post-classical A Thousand Year Flood. Here, the electronic sounds are processed and often stacked to create complex textures, chords and harmonies. The timbres are distinct, formed with subtle detail, capturing the ebb and flow of emotional whirlpools...

Starting in the very early 80s, Greinke was one of the very first of the modern-day ‘sound sculptors’, working with electronics and etc (but long before laptops) to craft a very personal, ambient, warm and inviting electronic sound that can or can not be called ‘music’ depending on your definition. Since that first 15-20 years of his work, he’s expanded his palette greatly by adding acoustic instruments along with his organized sounds as well.
He’s one of the less-known greats, in ambient music, imo..


How great to see a new release from Jeff; it's been way too long. There are a lot of people who make electronic music, but NO ONE sounds like Jeff Greinke except Jeff Greinke.

“A rather excellent album by Fripp and The Grid who have worked together frequently over the years. It begins as pure guitar drone, drifting into pleasant ambient, and by Leviathan the drums begin to appear in mix, approaching Fire Tower this has turned into blissful downtempo dub-techno, and so it continues to the end. Very much one long composition cut up into 9 parts, an album that deserves attention and to be listened to all the way through (just like good old progressive music, be it house or rock).”

Not quite a decade ago, there was a new set from the newly reformed / revamped Grobschnitt, released as 2008 Live. It was recorded in Bonn and Menden Germany in May 2008 and it was really good (see below).
