Really excellent 'spiritual jazz' from a very obscure group who released this in 1970. Hugely recommended to fans of that sound / the Strata-East sound.

"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. Free As You Wanna Be predates the deep-set, maverick..

“"I felt totally unrestrained making this album" says Lindstrøm about his 6th solo album On A Clear Day I Can See You Forever (a title inspired by the 1970’s musical On A Clear Day You Can See Forever starring Barbra Streisand). "I’ve listened to Robert Wyatt's solo albums and his Matching Mole’s debut album a lot lately. It so effortless, fearless and free. And not insisting. I was very inspired by this."
In the autumn of 2018, Lindstrøm composed a commissioned piece for Norway’s premiere...

"1973 was an extremely prolific year for many a Finnish jazz musician. Guitarist Jukka Tolonen and saxophonist Eero Koivistoinen released a few albums of their own and also participated on Esko Linnavalli's project Finnish Design, the aim of which was to perform jazz interpretations of Finnish folk songs. The result was so successful that one can't help but wonder while listening to the album that why it hasn't been reissued until now. The Svart reissue is presented with the original gatefold layout and...

“A reissue of Garrett List's Your Own Self, originally issued in 1972. Produced on Max Schubel's Opus One label, it was a remarkable creative effort, conceived like a celebration of a higher self-consciousness. The context is avant-garde minimalism, but the music is enriched by a deep spiritualism; it echoes the most meditative jazz of the age, taking also advantage from the mystic lesson of La Monte Young. Everything is solved in a free, moderate and brilliant language, pure and elegant. It's...

This is a beautiful, numbered, limited edition of this stone classic, mastered from the original tapes on 180 gram vinyl in a beautiful gatefold sleeve.

"Considered by many to be the final great Italian symphonic rock album! By 1977, progressive rock in Italy was all but dead. Most of the movement had moved either underground or more towards the experimental (Pierrot Lunaire, Picchio dal Pozzo). It must've been quite the surprise for collectors of the day to see Locanda delle Fate appear on the...

Locanda delle Fate opens up its archives again with a special release! La Locanda delle Fate should need no introduction, as a band that wrote one of the greatest masterpieces of Italian progressive rock in 1977, "Forse le lucciole non si amano più" which absolutely cannot be missing from the discography of anyone who professes to be passionate about certain sonority.
This contains:
Five pieces presented in '77 on the first RAI channel of Italian television, in an exclusive presentation of the...

“A new duo collaboration between Rob Mazurek (Exploding Star Orchestra) and Damon Locks (Black Monument Ensemble), contemplating community, transformation, and the future through the lens of imagining a pirate radio station for the people. Together they share electronic duties but each take the lead when needed with their specialties: Mazurek on trumpet and Locks on vocals. The music sounds overtly bombastic one moment and gently transportive the next, and often somewhere between.”

Excellent sort of retro / kozmigroov kinda jazz/rock thing vibe going on here!

“The second installment from London Odense Ensemble digs deeper into the group's vision of what modern psychedelic jazz should sound like. Cut from the same sessions as Jaiyede Sessions Vol. 1, released last summer, Vol. 2 presents a more nuanced approach to the material. On this set the ensemble focuses on shorter, layered pieces -- traveling from deep spiritual jazz grooves to gorgeous free-flowing minimalism to...

Gatefold sleeve and limited edition of only 200!

“One afternoon in 1975, friend and fellow music traveler, Harold Schroeder, showed up at Poo-Bah Record Shop where Tom Recchion worked selling records and experimental music to people, forcing them to buy albums that he swore would change their lives. Harold asked if Tom wanted to share in a studio space close to the shop. After seeing it Tom immediately said "YES!". They moved in and divided the space in half. On Tom's half he made drawings...

"Psychedelic improvisational spiritual avant-rock/jazz featuring the legendary Larry Young on organ and equally astounding Joe Gallivan on drums, steel guitar, Moog synth, and percussion; the mysterious Nicholas wailing on guitar synthesizer and ring modulator; and Jimmy Molneiri on drums and percussion -- recorded live at an anti-war rally in Washington D.C., in June 1972 in Lafayette Park...
