“Solid fourteen track collection of non-LP tracks from this legendary English band (it says so on right on the sticker!), which featured the talents of Adrian and Paul Gurvitz, later of Three Man Army, and so on, and Peter Dunton of the Flies, Please, Neon Pearl, and T2 fame—as well as a logo designed by Roger Dean; this package features BBC recordings made between 1968 and 1970, plus three unreleased studio cuts from an 80's reunion attempt. Good-to-great sound quality throughout, plus eight pages of...

"Swedish multi-instrumentalist Rikard Sjöblom is pleased to announce his new album under the Gungfly moniker, ‘Alone Together’. It follows an extremely productive past few years, whether it be working with English progressive rockers Big Big Train, or taking the lead with Gungfly.
Rikard comments: “I started writing these songs about a year ago but then it took some time to get started with the production because I had two tours lined up, one with Big Big Train in November and then opening solo for...

"The fourth studio album from Rikard Sjöblom (Big Big Train, Beardfish) in his Gungfly guise.
Rikard comments, “Musically, what can I say? This is Prog, but I want to be free to move in whatever direction the music wants to go and I happily go exploring where it wants to take me. Even though there are a few softer songs and sections, most of the album turned out to be a rocker; a collection of hard rock songs with lots of tricky parts, some heavier moments and some downright jazzy elements too!”

"King Crimson's bass/stick/touch guitar master Trey Gunn produces this combination of world music and progressive rock. Percussionist Bob Muller pumps out John Bonham-esque grooves while simultaneously playing tabla and hand drums. The psychedelic...



Performed by pianists Michle Thomasson, Michele Fedrigotti & Danilo Lorenzini. "Born in the south Caucuses where the ethnic mix of peoples (Russian, Greek, Iranian, Tartar and Armenian) led to a cross- fertilization of different cultures and customs, ...

A now out of print 1996 release by the great Indian percussionist, this is a nice fusion record featuring Bill Evans-saxes, Mark Feldman-violin, David Gilmore-guitar (not the Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmore), Andy Emler-pianos, synths & Chris Minh Doky-bass....

Two old CMP titles make a re-emergence here!

"The French pianist Andy Emler had parted ways with his fellow compatriot Daniel Goyone, and just as his predecessor did he created a supporting axis within the group and stepped in as the...

This was recorded in Trilok's 'jazz/rock' period, when he was putting out pretty great work for CMP. Never before released!

"Before Trilok's music gradually changed to Worldmusic in 1996, he was deep-rooted in Jazz.The conjunction of Indian Rhythms with the elements of modern Jazz led to extraordinary aural experiences, impressively documented on this concert recording. Trilok's matchless grooves, precised punchy, are blending well with the widely textures, far from whirling Indian esoteric."

“God Is A Drummer is the new studio album by master drummer Trilok Gurtu. Throughout his illustrious career, master drummer and world music pioneer Gurtu has stood at the confluence of where Indian classical music, Western jazz and funk, African music, and Brazilian music meet. It's been part of his modus operandi for five decades -- making music that defies easy categorization. On God Is A Drummer, his 20th recording as a leader, the uncommonly open-minded musician pays tribute to some fallen colleagues...

An excellent sounding period recording from their 10/25/70 performance at the Essen Pop & Blues Festival. This is just after their great 1st album UFO was released, and captures them at an early, heady peak; imagine the furthest out that a power trio c...

One of the greatest power trios ever, this is the even crazier second release of early 1970's style hard rock/progressive/psychedelic madness by Ax Genrich-guitar/vocals, Uli Trepte-bass/vocals & Mani Neumeier-drums/vocals.
Like your favorite Cream record with it's brain destroyed by LSD. Contains the classic "Bo Diddley". Highly recommended!

“When Guru Guru was founded in 1968 in the year of the student revolt, everyone would have reaped a weary smile that would have predicted that Guru Guru would still exist after 50 years, or have played a decisive role in shaping the music scene during that time.
Today, Guru Guru is one of the longest-serving bands on the planet, along with the Rolling Stones, and Mani Neumeier and his gurus stand for rock music that has survived all trends and fashions and that still goes beyond borders today. That...

Monster power trio 1970-style hard rock/progressive/psychedelic madness by Ax Genrich-guitar/vocals, Uli Trepte-bass/vocals & Mani Neumeier-drums/vocals. Their first album. Like your favorite Cream record with it's brain destroyed by LSD. Highly recommended!

Really good (not professional, but genuinely very good) quality live album recorded November 4, 1972. This is recorded just after the band's peak, as Ulli Trepte has left and Bruno Schaab (a fine player) is his replacement here, but the repertoire is still all taken from the 1st 3 albums, with really long versions of Oxymoron, Baby Cake Walk and Ooga Booga. Ax Genrich and Mani Neumeier play great as always. Not as essential as they once were, as this feels a little tentative, but it's still a great...

"Guru Guru played in the Wartburg, a Wiesbaden hall, on September 17th, 1973. It was one of the gigs recorded by Xhol (Caravan) acquaintance Muck Krieger. His recording equipment was then state-of-the-art: an Uher tape recorder CR 124 and two Revox...

This is something a bit special as original Guru Guru members guitarist Ax Genrich and drummer Mani Neumeier with Guy Segers, the monster bassist from mid-period Univers Zero! While you won't necessarily be confused into thinking that this is UFO...

"Since his debut CD on Tzadik in 2010 Uri has been receiving consistent accolades as a major new voice in Jazz. He remains incredibly active, performing with some of the best new players in Jazz (Francisco Mela, Chris Potter, Esperanza Spalding) as...

Really nice quartet/quintet release, who use Jewish melodies pretty strongly and often and as a jumping off point for the compositions and improvisations, but this is not Klezmer at all. Interesting to hear them using these melodic ideas, while still...

Elegant, masterful trio recordings from one of Sweden's national living treasures. Matts Gustafsson (reeds), Sten Sandell (piano) and Raymond Strid (drums) set course for a sublime oblivion, driven by this longstanding (ca. 1988) group's unique brand ...

“Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson might have a separate discography for his solo records. He's investigated the possibilities of unaccompanied reed music from almost every angle.
Presented with the opportunity to make a new solo record under the isolation of the pandemic, Gustafsson returned to a project he'd conceptualized but never realized: the playing-card pieces of Peter Brötzmann. Although these Fluxus-like prompts are better known through the two card sets the German saxophonist created...

Mats Gustafsson – alto, tenor and baritone saxophones
Jason Adasiewicz – vibraphone and balafon

"Discussing this impending studio date, the indefatigable saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and intrepid vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz decided to compose new pieces for one another. The resulting tracks – which also include a hallucinogenic arrangement of “Timeless,” dedicated to its composer, the recently deceased guitarist John Abercrombie – show a markedly different side of both musicians. Quiet, at ..

Composer Guastavino was born in Santa Fe, Agentina 4/5/12. This is songs for piano & tenor voice. In the last few years, there has been a great interest in his music & a spate of recordings all over the world. [New Albion]

One of the 'new' stars of ECM and deservedly so. Really excellent, state-of-the-art languid piano trio music.

"Such is the arresting beauty of Tord Gustavsen's sound, it's no surprise that his albums have captured a significant following...

"After a trilogy of highly successful trio albums (“Changing Places”, “The Ground”, “Being There”), Tord Gustavsen branches off in new directions. His new band adds two players familiar to ECM listeners – bassist Mats Eilertsen and saxophonist Tore...

One of the 'new' stars of ECM and deservedly so. Really excellent, state-of-the-art languid piano trio music. It's also a fabulous recording!

Gustavson was the tremendous keyboardist for Wigwam in the 1st part of their career. This 2003 release is pretty much what it says it is, a organ-driven fusion band with Jukka's keyboards and voice, reeds, bass and drums. Most of it is pretty good, alt...

"The notion that Jochen Irmler and Gudrun Gut would one day merge the best of their two worlds was never quite to be expected. We hear Irmler's meandering, wistfully psychedelic organ sound, seeming to come from a different era. And we hear Gut's...

Destroying walls between art-rock, avant-squonk, jazz-core and beyond, the decade-old New York quartet Gutbucket is not only equally comfortable playing in front of 900 sweatily pogo-ing teenage skate-punks, a crowd of cosmic indie-psych freaks, on an...

Founded in 1999 and originally part of the very tail end of the legendary 'downtown sound" as one of the the last bands involved in the "Knitting Factory scene", performing a residency there, as well as having their first album released by the club's label, Gutbucket celebrated their 15 years in action in 2014 with a week long residency at another legendary venue, John Zorn's The Stone.

Dance, the group's 6th album, consists of all-new material, professionally recorded live at the club for that...

This is the second album by this great NY band who take the 'downtown sound' as pioneered in the 1980s by bands like Naked City, Curlew, Doctor Nerve and keep it current and fresh. I know you are buying this because you want to check them out since...

This was Gutbucket's 3rd album and the last before signing to Cuneiform. Anyone who enjoyed their more recent two on the label will find plenty more good things here!

Excellent, completely unknown French stick player who has put together an excellent, ECM-ish, mellow, jazz/rock album with a band that includes Alexis Drossos-saxophones, Jean-Marie Gerintes-percussion, harmonica, musicial saw, Jean-Philippe Rykiel-keyboards and Stephane Deschamps-piano. Good playing from everyone; the accent is not on the leader, but on the ensemble. Take a chance and discover something great!!

"After his great compositions for the London Jazz Composers Orchestra and the Barry Guy New Orchestra, Barry Guy has written a large scale work for a new international ensemble.

Guy's work The Blue Shroud is an hommage to the painting Guernica by Pablo Picasso. It is for the people of the Spanish town, who were victims of the Nazi German air force bombardment during the Spanish Civil War. Guy also wants us to remember the occasion in 2003, when the Guernica-tapestry at the UN Security Council was..
