Formanek, Michael - Imperfect Measures CD Michael Formanek Double Bass With his extensive artistic biography, Michael Formanek is one of the most outstanding figures in American jazz... As a composer, as a bassist in ensembles, and as a soloist. Although the bass often plays in the background, bassists write jazz history. So does Michael Formanek, who makes an impressive solo statement with Imperfect Measures (24 years after his first solo album). About the creative process, Formanek writes: "I came to realize that for me... 28-Intakt 359 $19.00
Motorpsycho - Yay! CD The very very long lived band that is Motorpsycho have changed their spots many many times and this is not what most probably think of as a typical Motorpsycho release. Having said that, the very first Motorpsycho album I ever heard was their orchestral pop release, Let Them Eat Cake and this has a lot of sonic similarities in terms of song craft, although it lacks some of the orchestral qualities. I like it!! "Between 2017 and 2021, Norway's Motorpsycho released the sprawling "Gullvåg... Psychobabble 130 $15.00

Terreno Baldio - Terreno Baldio vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) This excellent Brazilian release was described to me as "the Brazilian Gentle Giant", which led me a little bit astray the first time I popped it in, as I was expecting 4 part vocals. They don't do that, but there is a lot of musical busy-ness and activity, counterpoint and interlocking parts, which are reminscent of Giant a little bit. But, I think what my friend was trying to convey to me was the high level of musicianship and intricacy, which is something that they DO share with GG. And sometimes.. 05-PSYCHBRBT 010 LP $38.00

Care Of The Cow - Dogs’ Ears Are Stupid In the very early 80s, Chicago-based Care Of The Cow released two fine, unique, quirky albums which were favorites at the time at chez Wayside.

Cora, Tom - Live At The Western Front CD The great improvising cellist Tom Cora (1953-1998) packed a LOT of music into his 44 years on this planet. He appears on a ton of some of the greatest 'jazz and more' albums of the 80s and into the 90s, but he will always be remembered by me for his wonderful work with Curlew, who I worked with for 5-7 years with Tom.
