"This excellent Argentine Progressive Fusion quartet came to life in the city of Cordoba. It all started with a solid rhythm base blending Funk, Rock, and certain local traditional sounds, always open to different influences akin to their own style...

David Torn: acoustic and electric guitars
Mark Isham: trumpet, piccolo trumpet, flugelhorn, synthesizer
Tony Levin: Chapman stick, synth bass
Bill Bruford: Simmons drums, synth drums, percussion

Very well liked 1987 ECM release and the closest you will ever get to King Crimson on ECM!

“’Everything is in a state of transition,” David Torn explained. “Mercury is an element that captures the essence of change.” The changing soundscape of improvisation in the mid-1980s informs..

"Over the past decade, Tortoise have produced some of the most innovative and influential albums in all of music. From the deep and understated rhythms and tones on their 1996 landmark, Millions Now Living Will Never Die, to the bombastic rock of 2001's..

""Standards," the fourth full-length recording from Chicago's Tortoise, boldly announces their return following 1998's TNT. Tortoise spent the bulk of 1998 and a portion of 1999 touring the world. Following tours of the U.S., Europe, South America...

This is the 8th full album by this fine, genre-defining, nearly all instrumental Chicago band (2 songs with vocals that won't kill you but don't need to be there either). The number of people paying attention now is much less than when they were in vogue, 20 years ago, but they remain just as excellent and fun. Highly recommended.

"Simply put, Tortoise has spent nearly 25 years making music that defies description. While the Chicago-based instrumental quintet has nodded to dub, rock, jazz...

"An album that not only set the tone for the new Chicago prog rock, but also cemented the musical niche for Thrill Jockey Records. Here, multi-instrumentalists John McEntire, Dan Bitney, John Herdon, Douglas McCombs, and Bundy K. Brown share equal...

"In Jazz music, each artist should be profoundly personal and vitally collective at the same time. For this reason, a saxophone, bass, and drum trio is a machine as demanding as it is fascinating. The absence of the piano “glue” makes the musicians look for solutions to this odd game. On one extreme we have a pure section on rhythm releasing all melodic work to the saxophone, on the other hand we can find bass...

Sudoh Toshiaki is the drummer and leader of the excellent Canterbury-influenced jazz/rock band Machine and The Synergetic Nuts. They put out two pretty great albums in the late 90s/early 00s and have been silent every since (although they are still around, at least as a live unit).

Still, many of our customers remember them fondly.

This is a CD featuring Sudoh performing all the musical parts on drums, keyboards, computers, bass, etc. What is mostly sounds like is a demo recording for a...

"Casamance au Clair de Lune is the most "roots"-oriented album issued by the Senegalese band Touré Kunda, and one of their very best. Dispensing with the occasionally kitschy pop and funk arrangements that diluted many of their prior and subsequent efforts, they succeeded in fashioning a recording brimming with the life of West Africa while still sounding unmistakably modern. There are several percussion interludes (such as "Manoir") that one wishes could go on forever, so infectious are the rhythms and...

"Acclaimed Malian musician Sidi Toure returns with his fourth album, Toubalbero. Named after the large traditional drum used to gather people in the Malian region of Gao, Toubalbero is a danceable, dynamic, and despite the region's significant political challenges, joyous album.
For his first electro-acoustic album, Sidi Toure (vocals, guitar, and calabash) is joined by bassist Baba Traore drummer Mamadou 'Mandou'Kone (who also plays with Vieux Farka Toure), electric guitarist Djad' Traor', N'Goni...

One of the most purely 'fun' shows I've seen in the last decade was the legendary New Orleans songwriter Allen Toussaint performing solo. He played some of his billions of hits that he wrote for ... well, everyone, and he told great stories.
This is with a band, but it captures some of that show's warm brilliance and charm.

For over 35 years, Ralph Towner has been 'the man' on acoustic 6 and 12 string guitars, his music displaying a deep, deep beauty, but never becoming too sweet. This features an ECM all-star band: Ralph Towner-12 string and classical guitars, piano, Jan...

I like the idea of calling yourselves "jazz hooligans"! Fans of groups like Led Bib, Gutbucket, Tatvamasi, will totally, totally dig this!

"Bullsheep is the first studio album by Toxydoll, a Berlin-based “jazz hooligan” quartet, which has already released a live recording for Aut (Live at the Loophole, 2013). Bullsheep was recorded in the autumn of 2014, right after a tour

This archival release by Sweden's rightly legendary Trad Gras och Stanar is revelatory and it's great to see it again after it being out of print for a number of years.
The final culmination of the musicians from Parson Sound, Harvester & International Harvester, this archival release is the stoner/pounding id classic with equal influences from Terry Riley and The Monks you would want it to be! Highly recommended!

"... the best ever recording from the legendary Trad Gras & Stenar...

"The long-awaited new album from the legendary pioneers of transcendental psychedelic rock music and DIY culture in general. Tack För Kaffet (So Long) is a tribute to the deceased band members and dearest friends Torbjörn Abelli and Thomas Mera Gartz. It becomes something of a farewell show for the old Träd, Gräs Och Stenar because all the old and new members, including founder Bo Anders, Torbjörn and Mera, and Reine Fiske (Dungen, The Amazing), are all contributing to this album. The sounds were...

I am indulging myself a little bit here, but what-the-hey; this is probably the only album that I have owned since 8th grade that I have *never* stopped liking, and still like very much to this very day. One of the greatest adventurous psychedelic pop albums of its day (1967), Traffic included the major talents of Steve Winwood-guitars, keyboards, vocals, Dave Mason-guitars, sitars mellotrons, vocals, Chris Wood-saxes flutes, vocals and Jim Capaldi-drums and vocals. This 24 bit remastered version from...
