"Mask features Jeff Gauthier on electric violin, Nels Cline on guitars, David Witham on piano, Joel Hamilton on bass and Alex Cline on drums. This is Gauthier's third CD as a leader and first for Cryptogramophone. Mask features works by Gauthier, Nels ...

"Jeff Gauthier isn't the only person who has played electric avant-garde jazz on the violin (the late Billy Bang immediately comes to mind), but it is safe to say that the violin doesn't have a lot of representatives in that area of jazz. Gauthier...

This archival release presents Charles Gayle-tenor and bass clarinet, Michael Bisio-bass, Michael Wimberly-drums in a previously unheard live recording from September 19, 1994 in Santa Monica, CA.

Solo studio recordings by Gayle on tenor sax, bass clarinet, piano & drums. [Victo]

"I haven't had anything similar on my musical plate for a while, so Gazpacho's eighth album Demon was an interesting, beautifully surprising and absolutely brilliant variation. Again Gazpacho mixes progressive sounds with electronic elements and folk....

“GBK are an Austrian free jazz trio that isn't afraid of being groovy. The band was founded in 2007 after a first meeting the year before, being thrown together in an improvised music session. They performed many years under the name of KGB before changing their name recently due to Russian war against Ukraine. All three musicians are happy to swap roles in their trio, therefore abstract experimental sounds have the same place in their repertoire as groove and melody. Drummer Didi Kern works both in jazz...

Very hard to find Italian release from 1989, which has improvising saxist Gebbia on soprano, alto and baritone sax and Casio digital horn, with Lelio Gianetto-double bass and Vittorio Villa-drums. [PVD]

“Geese are a quintet of native Brooklyners who formed during their freshman year of high school. They are also one of the most hyped exports to emerge from the borough in years with a complex and energetic sound built from scraps of post-punk, prog, and a deep lineage of New York rock & roll. During the front half of 2020, the band's home-recorded demos suddenly became a target for serious label attention and, having just graduated from high school, Geese found themselves fielding offers from both sides...

“Geins't Naït was founded in Nancy, France, in 1986 by Thierry Merigout and Vincent Hachet, both students at the Architecture School of Nancy. A year later Laurent Petitgand joined the band. Their sound is often described as an equivalent of bands like Einstürzende Neubauten, Coil or Test Dept., but Geins't Naït is not pure classic Industrial. While Geins't Naït offers rough pieces of music as an extension of its punk attitude, Petitgand refines them to create some musicality within the post-industrial...

Probably my personal favorite of their early period work, this 1972 symphonic/progressive album should need very little introduction.

"Definitive edition remaster" of this release, which sounds great! A double live album by the quartet of Collins, Hackett, Rutherford, Banks + Chester Thompson and another really good one. I saw this tour and then Hackett was gone and so was my personal..

The first 'real' Genesis album, and an early (1970) classic of symphonic/progressive rock.

Gentle Giant's 2nd album, and, for the time it was released in 1971, an extremely adventurous rock work (and one with a stupendously ugly cover!).

I remember getting this around 1973/74 and reading the liner notes and devouring the following: "It is our goal to expand the frontiers of popular music at the risk of being very unpopular. We have recorded each composition with one thought - that it should be unique, adventurous and fascinating. It has taken every shred of our combined musical and...

After In A Glass House, Giant and their record label made a concerted effort to 'break the band' in the USA, and the band toured here constantly. Signing with Capitol, they released 3 great studio albums that gave the band a slightly more rockified and accessible face, without losing a whit of the complexity of their earlier work.
Free Hand was their seventh album and was the middle one of that trio and it is one of many extremely fine works in their catalog. It rocks like hell and incredibly...

Interview was their ninth album and was the last one of that trio (a live album separated it from the other two) and it is one of many extremely fine works in their...

“In 1977 Gentle Giant recorded their ninth studio album The Missing Piece. It was a time of change. Punk, disco and rap were altering the musical landscape and even this well-established progressive rock band were willing to explore new directions. Side one saw them experimenting with quirky pop ("Two weeks in Spain"), a grandiose power ballad ("I'm turning around'), syncopated funk ("Who do you think you are?") and even the punky aggression of "Betcha thought we couldn't do it" Normal service was...

In this ‘post physical’ age that we occupy, this 2 CD set is the only away to own the original mixes (i.e. not the Steven Wilson remixes) of these two 1972 classics by Gentle Giant on CD.
The fact that this is on BGO, who always do a very good job mastering for CD from the licensed masters is ‘merely’ a bonus.

“Hollenbeck formed GEORGE with three specific musicians in mind, all whom he admired and wanted to play with, but none of who knew each other well. The recording session for Letters to George took place in Montreal in January of 2022. It was the first time the quartet even set foot in the same room..

This is the third album by George Pinilla’s Gepetto project. George has been the owner of the long established progressive rock shop ‘Shop 33’, and this reflects his interest and knowledge of prog rock strongly.
The album consists of two tracks, both of which are over 25 minutes!

"GEPETTO is the project of George PINILLA, composer, Franco-Spanish singer, self-taught multi-instrumentalist musician and progressive rock mail order seller since 1986. He has been playing for twenty-five years in a.

3 guitars, violin & bass on swing tunes influenced by Django & gypsy-jazz. [Felmay]

A very well known German underground album, which is most famous for the circumstances of its recording in a 'bunker-like' environment. Includes 3 non-lp bonus tracks.

This is guitarist Jane’s excellent fusion band, consisting of Adam Holzman (keyboards), Bryan Beller (bass) and Chad Wackerman (drums) with guests including Alex Skolnick (guitar) & Theo Travis (reeds).

“I am normally not a big fan of vocals on fusion records but I am prepared to make an exception for this. Half the album is instrumental and the vocals tend to be fairly brief (and good). The quality of the music is as good as one would expect from the musicians involved. Getter plays some great...

“Live In Dusseldorf 1960 by the Stan Getz Quartet is an original master concert recording from March 28th, 1960, recorded at the Rheinhalle in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Stan Getz, born Stanley Gayetski (February 2, 1927-June 6, 1991) was an American jazz saxophonist. Playing primarily the tenor saxophone, Getz was known as "The Sound" because of his warm, lyrical tone, his prime influence being the
