“It has roots, from Ornette to boogie. It's avant, but it grooves. The players sound completely natural, like they ain't even trying, though they must be. The interplay flows. The harmonies spark. And mainly, it's fun. Talkin bout saxist Tony Atherton, harmonicat Bill Barrett, drummer Joe Berar

“Earth is the culmination of Liebman's decades-long elements series, a focal point of the iconic artist's career spanning 30 years. Overall the music interprets nature's four elements in a musical context... Water, Air, Fire and now Earth. Employing masterful compositional tactics and a rich improvisational palate refined by fifty years at the front-line of jazz, Lieb presents an intense, deeply human musical experience. Hear Dave like you never have before, emphasizing the musical element of...

“In the philosophical tradition of Taoism, "Chi" is the word used to describe the animating force of the universe, the breath of life that permeates all existence. A natural phenomenon, when channeled it can provide a spark to ignite seemingly supernatural powers. In their first meeting as a trio, saxophone great and NEA Jazz Master Dave Liebman and virtuoso percussionists Adam Rudolph and Hamid Drake tap into that spiritual force to create Chi, a transcendent collaboration deeply possessed of fresh...

Really great instrumental album by this duo + guests who channel the motorik groove of Neu! and other krautrock hipster classics better than almost anyone I have ever heard. If you love that sound, you'll totally love this!

“Ultra rare £3000+ serene folk inflected progressive rock. Cherry Red recently used one song from a poor condition acetate on a recent compilation.
Three acetate copies were made in 1970, and Seelie Court used the only surviving near mint LP that’s owned by an ex–member as source with great audio. The songs ’Oakenshade’ and ’Waxing Of The Moon’ are poetic genius, using a guitar with a damaged bridge to create a sitar like drone, the vocals have an air of resigned melancholia, and the lyrics connect...

"Double CD with an awe inspiring 34 songs totalling circa 110 minutes, these later tracks find Roger Knott taking on the Lifeblud mantle with various members of The Fixx, Adam and the Ants, and Ducks Deluxe helping out.
Seelie Court has edged toward overworld respectability and packaged this refined rock rarity with an eye toward Randy Newmanesque sophistication. Here Lifeblud reflect backwards and immerse themselves in the Golden Age of Rock, drawing influences from Roy Orbinson, The Everly...

With “Pattern Time”, Lukas Ligeti and his group introduce a style of music that is hard to categorize for the best of reasons: it is something the likes of which have not been heard before. Is it a new direction in jazz, perhaps more specifically in...

"Revolutionary, spiritual jazz from the unlikely city of Houston, Texas: the definitive issue, mastered from the original tapes. Bonus disc contains previously unreleased tracks. Drummer, bandleader and activist Bubbha Thomas had toured America with R&B revues, served as a session musician for Peacock and Back Beat Records, and played straight ahead jazz with legends before the political and social upheaval of the late 1960s led him to a path first charted by Coltrane. Energy Control Center, his third LP...

This 1992 solo release by one of the principals of Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic, is the closest he’s come on his own to their 'chamber-esque with rock' sound.

“Three recent works from Boston's Birdsongs of the Mesozoic keyboardist. Chamber Suite is a 30 minute musical escapade composed of a dozen curious selections that explore a dream-like state of mind picking up where Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks left off. Levels of Insanity I/II are 20-minute soundtracks reminiscent of ambient music that...

“One day in the studio, something ridiculously great happened. It was deep Chicago winter, cold as shit. Four musicians assembled for a round-robin set of improvisations -- duets, trios, a few quartets. Approached casually, the late morning bloomed into Largest Afternoon, 15 crackling encounters between guitarist Arto Lindsay...
