A little bit odd, a little bit off-kilter, a little bit humorous and quite a bit off the beaten path is this progressive/odd band that could only have come from France. This is the group's third release and was recorded live, which lends a different...

"If I could use one word to describe the music of the French band Jack Dupon, it would be 'strange'. This is avant progressive rock that lends itself well to the RIO movement. The is music is very difficult to describe and is very eclectic so if you...

This is the group's third album. Fred Frith had this to say about their second album:

"Jack o’the Clock are an unbelievably great band, Damon Waitkus is an extraordinarily courageous composer, and this is some of the freshest and most surprising music I’ve heard since, well, since their first record. Hallelujah!"-Fred Frith

"The first recordings unearthed of this seminal proto-punk/no wave unit from New York City, circa 1974-1977!!! Twisted, aggressive, weird rock on par with the Electric Eels, 'Debris, Simply Saucer and early MX80-Sound! Featuring George Scott...

A Canadian group whose only album was released on a tiny label, this is comparable in a lot of ways to 1971/1972 era Deep Purple; progressive hard rock with lots of great organ and guitarwork. Really good in that vein.

"The album 'Saturnalia' by JackOut is the product of three London-based musicians, Gary Curson, Justin Paterson and Margo Sagov, who began to experiment with combining programmed beats and backing tracks with live and real-time playing in a home...

So, in hipster circles, there's thing genre called 'deep jazz' and many very, very obscure albums are being exhumed and reissued. The genre can mean almost anything and many pretty lukewarm albums have been reissued under that rubric. This however...

I must say that looking at the description below, this sounds really, really interesting, but I have not heard it as I put this info into the computer. "Debut release on Sunbeam -- a new UK-based label dedicated to reissuing overlooked rock, folk and p...

Three major names here: Oliver Lake, David Murray and Wadada Leo Smith, along with Michael, who is much lesser known but a fine guitarist.

An unbelievable price on the hard to find Japanese version of this great album!

"This recording is too short but that doesn't mar the fact that this is a true gem! Milt plays brilliantly with all of his heart and he swings like hell on all of the t

Excellent quality, now out of print live recording of the Decoding Society in the middle primo, recorded live 7/21/83. RSJ is a monster drummer, and his band was a serious killer of harmolodic punk/jazz. In my opinion, in the early 80's, the downtown...

Note that even though this is the Jaco Pastorius Big Band, as the Bonzo Dog Band once said in "Shirt", "That's just the name of the shop". Jaco does not appear on this album because he was very deceased by the time this tribute big band was assembled...

Great price on a great album! This is by the 'jazz/jam band and beyond' keyboard, bass, drums trio that don't have anybody in the band named Jacob OR Fred. This is called a 'acoustic album' by their label, but the bassist is running so many boxes off...

A rare 1970 folk-rock album. Jade were a very popular UK live act in 1970, but they only managed to record one studio album. Fly On Strangewings features a host of guest artists including members of Spencer Davis Group, Pentangle, Colosseum, Jefferson...

Jade Warrior were a UK band who released three albums on Vertigo and then the band semi fell apart and all they were left with was a duo of Jon Field (alto/concert/Japanese flutes, organ, piano, percussion) and Tony Duhig (electric and acoustic...

Mini-lp sleeve reissue, newly and nicely remastered from the original master tapes by Eroc. The original release of this 1971 album was quite a poor transfer, so this is worth a purchase if you like this album. Unlike their better known releases on...

"Retaining the spirit of adventure from the band's Vertigo years and the sheer beauty and audacity of their Island albums, NOW eloquently brings Jade Warrior into the 21st Century with an album of beautifully crafted songs and extreme dynamics."...

Very good psychedelic material that actually mostly lives up to the hype! "It's hard to imagine that a 20-year-old New York guitarist fresh out of garageland would have been infatuated with Syd Barrett in 1968. However, Faine Jade's 1968 album sounds...

Combines elements of jazz, progressive and modern/techo in a REALLY impressive way. This is by a real band with horns, keyboards, guitars, rhythm section, etc. etc. and is not just a sampling creation. One of the freshest things I've heard recently...

Jaga Jazzist are one of the greatest progressive bands, bridging the worlds of rock, electronica/techno, jazz and classical music today. This new live album presents their already huge lineup along with an orchestra on some of their very best works...

The very first Jaga Jazzist album, this reissues their 1998 debut, recorded when the leader of the group was only 15! It's not nearly as good as anything that came later, but they've got a lot of fans here, so here it is. Includes two bonus tracks not ...

Jaga Jazzist-One Armed Bandit $16.00 Finally after a 5 year wait, this great, Norwegian 9 piece ensemble return. If their two amazing albums The Stix and A Livingroom Hush showed us that you could mix the adventurous mingling and mixing of jazz and rock.

Young Brooklyn band based around the voice and acoustic piano of Mali Sastri, but also includes acoustic bass and drums. Singer song-writer? Yes, but pretty weird singer-songwriter stuff, with influences from jazz and maybe world music and definitely...

Los Jaivas are a Chilean musical phenomenon. Founded in 1963, they are best known for their album Alturas De Macchu Picchu, from 1981 which fuses Chilean folkmusic with progressive rock. I saw them in September, 2005 at a huge outdoor place, and they...


Available again after going out of print shortly after its release - don't let it get away from you again! A very good album of songs of varying moods by guitarist/vocalist Jakko, who has operated on the edge of the Canterbury scene for years. His own...

"A refreshingly unique recording in the Jazz idiom that includes Khan Jamal: vibes, John Rodgers: cello, Dwight James: drums and Warren Ore: bass. The presence of the cello makes for a very memorable recording as it brings a strong sense of rhythm to...


"There's not another record on the planet that sounds even remotely like vibraphonist Khan Jamal's eccentric, one-of-a-kind masterpiece, drumdance to the motherland. in its improbable fusion of free jazz expressionism, Black psychedelia, & full-on dub...

Jan Dukes de Grey were a great, whacked out. UK psych/folk band that released two overlooked at the time albums in 1969/1971 that are now revered as classics of that now very hip sound. Sorcerers was released on Decca Nova and has never been reissued befo

"Originally circulated in a private edition of just 200 vinyl copies in 1977, Puritanical Odes is among the most intensely personal and poetic albums ever made in Britain. Setting startling words to haunting 12-string guitar, it has been described as...

The second album by one of the two "Jane's" out there making music. Theirs is a odd, very 'rock 'n' roll' tale, but many years ago, Jane split into two bands, one led by Peter Panka and the other led by Klaus Hess. This is by the one led by Peter Panka...

"Janel & Anthony - guitars and 'cello respectively - play a haunting and humbly virtuosic form of music wherein the elements of electronics, looping, and lo-fi timbres live both in intimacy and in majesty in the same house as acoustic...

This is the beginning of their very interesting and influencial phase, after their fairly unremarkable beginnings. "Influenced by Roxy Music, David Bowie and Brian Eno, Japan's stylish synth-pop sound made them one of the more intriguing and successful...
