One of many greats by Miles from the mid 70s, this has tons of totally slaying Johnny McLaughlin all over it. Totally slaying everybody, really. Ands if you love the Mahavishnu Orchestra like I do, hearing him and Cobham killing it a full year earlier will make you happy. If you don't already have this, you NEED this.

"None of Miles Davis' recordings has been more shrouded in mystery than Jack Johnson, yet none has better fulfilled Davis' promise that he could form the "greatest rock band you...

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 my digits and brain cells don't fail me, this is Jack Dupon's fifth album.

The group are a vocals / 2 guitar / bass and drums quartet and are most definitely a rock outfit and even a 'psychedelic' rock outfit in the most NON retro way of psychedelia.

All their albums are musically strong and tight (they perform constantly) and they all rock hard, using the simplest of rock instrumentations, while still being extremely interesting and progressive-minded.

They don't actually....

After way too long away, Jack Dupon is back with their seventh album. The group are a vocals / 2 guitar / bass and drums quartet and are most definitely a rock outfit and even a 'psychedelic' rock outfit in the most NON retro way of psychedelia.
All their albums are musically strong and tight (they perform constantly) and they all rock hard, using the simplest of rock instrumentations, while still being extremely interesting and progressive-minded. They don't actually sound anything like them, but ...

This great French band, who very much carry on the grand tradition of ‘the French rock underground’ and featuring no one named ‘Jack’, ‘Jacques’ or ‘Dupon’, celebrate their 20th anniversary with this, their 9th release!

“Cartoony singing, neurotic guitars, bouncy basses, drums [gently?] uninhibited, JackDupon transforms the stage into a theater of therapeutic screams and automatic poetry....

"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

This is the fourth album by this Bay-area based band who have gone far beyond their avant folk/Americana roots to something more rock and more weird and definitely more dark.

For my tastes, this is their best effort yet, and this from a band...

"One of the most original and compelling groups I know playing some amazing compositions that seem to tread effortlessly between Van Dyke Parks and folk music from an as yet unidentified culture, while making all the things you've always thought of as difficult sound as effortless and natural as breathing.”-Fred Frith
“[JOTC] conjure up stirring visions of a hybrid American history, part fact, part poetry, part visionary hallucination...compressed and multi-dimensional layerings, superimposing...

"Jack Ruby may be the most influential punk band from New York City that no one ever knew about."-Thurston Moore

"Jack Ruby occupy a place right between early '70s street rock, post Roxy/Hawkwind synthesis and the future sound of punk and no...

"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...

“Van Der Graaf Generator’s David Jackson keeps on ‘trucking’ with percussionist & producer René van Commenée. The album includes a new instrumental recreation and orchestration of 'Pioneers over c' the Van der Graaf Generator (VdGG) classic track from the 1970’s album ‘H to He Who Am The Only One’. Now titled 'Pioneers over c, 2023’ is a homage to that elusive track that was only ever been played live once. It features the virtuoso Colin Edwin on bass (Porcupine Tree).
The two artists have known each..

"Before his career defining records on Arista/Novus in the 80s and 90s, jazz and fusion guitarist Michael Gregory Jackson recorded his debut for ESP-Disk'. The sessions, recorded in New

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

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...

"Formed in 1970, JADE WARRIOR were one of the most original British bands to emerge during the Progressive Rock era. The first incarnation of the band featured TONY DUHIG (guitars) and JON FIELD (flutes, percussion), both of whom had been in the psychedelic group JULY, and GLYN HAVARD (bass, vocals).
Signing to Philips’ progressive Vertigo label, the band recorded their self-titled debut album in March 1971. A remarkable work, ‘JADE WARRIOR’ would be the template upon which the band would build their..

“This expanded Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered from the original Vertigo Records master tapes and features an early, previously unreleased version of ‘Telephone Girl’ as a bonus track. It also restores the original album artwork and features a booklet with new essay.”

“Jade Warrior's first album following Tony Duhig and Jon Field's emergence out of the psychedelic July captures them abandoning the best of that band's whimsical moodiness in favor of a symphonic spirituality

"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."...

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...

“Medium Rare II is compilation from 2019 containing new material, live recordings, remixes and covers - including the Progressive classics Your Own Special Way and Comfortably Numb - which showcases Jadis at its most relaxed and eclectic.”

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...

As usual, this is an excellent, indefinable release which sounds very modern yet is still very ‘band oriented’, something which is no longer considered a modern concept. Sadly. Great melodies, as always!
Personally highly recommended.

“Jaga Jazzist return with their new album where the legendary Norwegian eight-piece takes a deep dive into post-rock, jazz and psychedelia influences. It’s their first album since 2015’s “Starfire”, their ninth album in a career now spanning four decades...

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...

“Nearly 50 years after its original release on the Chilean label IRT, here is the iconic CD issue of this album that includes the anthems 'Todos Juntos' and 'Mira Niñita.'
Original master tapes have been used for this reissue, following the reels find at the IRT vaults. State of the art technology has also been used to guarantee a top-quality remastered sound that shows music details barely noticeable in the original pressing.
The artwork restoration process has been undertaken by Martín Uribe..

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...
