“Kokoko! consists of enigmatic vocalist Makara Bianko and instrumentalists Dido Oweke, Boms Bomolo, and Love Lokombe, a trio of scrappy, inventive players who grew up together in the city's Ngwaka neighborhood.
Lacking the money and resources to acquire proper instruments, the three friends began inventing their own unique noisemakers out of whatever was available. Single-string guitars were cobbled out of spare wood and tin cans, a vocal talk-box was wired out of an old cassette player, and...

"Adam Kolkers Flag Day (on the Sunnyside label) is a knotty pleasure. It may leave your head in a coil (take two tracks of hard bop to unwind), but ride with the twists while they're winding; it s a soft-toned heady trip. Adam Kolker, who plays tenor...

Great sound and incredible performances from the very best year in this pivotal figure’s short-lived career! Both tracks here are from his album Astigmatic, which is one of the most significant European jazz albums of the 60s. Hugely recommended.

“Among the most creative and prolific saxophonists of his generation, Lee Konitz was one of few altoists working in the early fifties who retained a unique style, in an era when Charlie Parker extended a huge influence. An early sideman for Miles Davis, Konitz participated in the legendary Birth Of Cool sessions, whi

“Cryptic Scattered Images of Time Forgotten, is a musical memorial of pianist and band leader Stevan Kovacs Tickmayer. Like Sinbad, he roams through time, browsing through the chapters of his life with the expansive calm of bygone times, from his years in Novi Sad, through he time at the Budapest free music school, to his studies in the Netherlands, and this way free and contemporary music, dance music, and the jazz idiom all find a place next to one another. He is accompanied by credible witnesses: ...

How many acoustic piano, bass & drum progressive rock bands can you think of? Korkoj may make you think that there should be more!

“The album crafts a genre-blending soundscape where progressive rock meets jazz fusion in an extraordinary synthesis of improvisation and structure. The innovative fusion results in a musical experience that is both intellectually stimulating and viscerally captivating.

"Ajan Peili", or "The mirror of time" is another magical casket – the band’s fifth - that contains the typical psych-folk-prog atmospheres with strong Seventies connotations of the Finnish Turku band. The enchanting melodies of the Mellotron, combined with delicate acoustic guitars, the sweetness of the flute, the violin, the piano and the song of Paivi Kylmanen become the purity and serenity of a pastoral sound, at times melancholy, projected on mystical and ancestral paths.
Even "Ajan Peili", as...
