Eric Dolphy Outward Bound To Out To Lunch Revisited
Temporary Super Offer! In his comprehensive 1966 Jazz Monthly article, “Eric Dolphy,” Jack Cooke reported that the advance buzz aboutduet passages for bass clarinet and bass, “Something Sweet, Something Tender” approximated the hinge-like ballads that were a perennial feature on Blue Note A sides. Given its dedicatee – the flutist renowned for recording works like Varèse’s “Density 21.5,” which Dolphy performed at the Ojai Festival in 1962 – “Gazzelloni” is surprisingly boppish, ending the side w…
Live New York, Revisited
Temporary Super Offer! Recorded 1964, 1965 & 1966 live New York. 7 Tracks, 2 tracks never on CD available. "This fabulous album, recorded during three New York club engagements in 1964, 1965 and 1966, ranks among the finest in the pianist/composer's illustrious catalogue. There are several things going for it: the quality and shared intentionality of the two, slightly different, lineups; the choice of material and its careful sequencing; the vibrancy of the performances, which is enough to pract…
With(Exit) To Student Studies, Revisited
Temporary Super Offer! 'Cecil Taylor’s whole career was a wave-front of exploration. The analogy with light is apposite enough. He evolved so fast most of us never quite caught up and relied instead on a few safe generalisations that momentarily applied around 1962 and only occasionally thereafter. Taylor rarely referenced the space programme, and admitted towards the end of his life that he had found the moon landings “banal”. Like Sun Ra, he was a cosmonaut of sound, breaking free of gravity a…
La Cave Live, Cleveland 1966
the first authorized release by permission of the Estate of Albert Ayler of the two concerts played at La Cave, Cleveland on April 16 & 17, 1966. Remastered for best possible sound of these under difficult technical circumstances recorded performances.
A Bright Nowhere - Journeying Into Improvisation
A Bright Nowhere - Journeying Into Improvisation is an important audio-visual record of a landmark series of four concerts staged in London in 2022 when more than 30 musicians joined improviser, percussionist and animateur Eddie Prévost to mark his 80th birthday. The film takes a close look at improvisers who create music in the moment, free from the authority of a composer, score or conductor. Ranging from profound delicacy to subversive atonality, the “awkward wealth” of this music raises vita…

Com a lanceta na mão
*80 copies limited edition* Marion Cousin and Eloïse Decazes are musicians, singers and friends. For some fifteen years, each of them, in their various incarnations (Catalina Matorral / Arlt) and companionships (notably Gaspar Claus, Kaumwald, Borja Flames for one, Eric Chenaux, Delphine Dora, Julien Desailly for the other), has been struggling with their own means, their own temperament, to move forward together, albeit crab-like, the chanson d'auteur and the chanson sans auteur - which is cont…

Selected Ambient Works Volume II (Expanded Edition)
Tip! CD Version. The reissue marks the 30th anniversary of the legendary album. The haunting collection, which released in the spring of 1994 via Warp Records, is prevalently considered one of the most influential electronic music albums of all-time. Aphex Twin, whose real name is Richard D. James, today confirmed a special reissue to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Selected Ambient Works Volume II was originally released 30 years ago in 1994 when Richard D. James was in his early 20’s. The Expa…
Bleed
Australian minimalist-jazz trio The Necks' new studio album, Bleed explores a sublime language of stillness. With a single, 42-minute composition, The Necks masterfully express the unspeakable beauty of decay and space in yet another totally distinct entry in a vast and stunning body of work.
Crescete E Moltiplicatevi
Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and Universal Music Publishing Italia, presents a 7-inch, 45 RPM, presents the premiere vinyl edition of the two key themes composed by Ennio Morricone for the grotesque comedy Crescete e Moltiplicatevi in 1973. The film was directed by Giulio Petroni in 1973 and starred Lionel Stander, Hugh Griffith and Rosalba Neri.
Morricone’s unusual score, an explosive mixture of sacred and profane, is a guttural vocal work performed by I Cantori Moderni di Alessan…
Brutes And Savages
Quartet Records, in collaboration with the Riz Ortolani estate, presents the expanded vinyl edition of one of the titles most requested by maestro Ortolani’s fans: the bizarre 1978 mondo movie Brutes And Savages (aka Savana Selvaggia)
Written by Jenny Craven and directed by Arthur Davis, this belongs to the select group of mondos that became notorious not for their shocking content, but for their lack of understanding of the genre. Surviving in two different cuts (92 mins and 107 mins), Brutes A…
Recall The Dream Breath
*2024 stock. 250 copies limited edition* I recorded the album after a conversation with Caleb about doing an album for the label and talking through ideas of what it could look like - compared to my previous release, Heart Music (2022, Where to Now? Records), which was written and recorded over 1-1.5 yrs, Recall the Dream Breath was written and recorded within the span of 2 weeks in March 2021. Heart Music was written in quarantine more or less, so that album became very dense as I wasn't too co…
El rostro (des)cubierto
*75 copies limited edition* The unearthing of a song as a communal ritual, speaks of an intention that no longer sees itself but simply sees. “el rostro descubierto” embraces this way of seeing. Through streams of autonomy, impulse, and idiosyncratic sensibilities, the quartet coalesces around a commitment to the rigor of exploration and inquiry. The result is a collection of songs that reflect vulnerability, patience and care while exuding a binding trust in the process of collective creation. …
Country Tropics (Meridian Edition)
Reconfiguring the laments from their debut album, Old Saw distill a wilted and hollow reflection from their original recordings. Lines freshly traced, erased, and reassembled from cassette and reel-to-reel machines, presented here like new writing on an old postcard.
Pas De
*2024 stock* "Blanche Lafuente, Jeanne Guien, Nina Garcia, Thomas Dunoyer de Segonzac: no noise quartet post no post no wave no punk post noise post mama post everything: French chanson... A crawling bass, shredding drums, a lacerating scalpel-guitar, hijacked tape loops, bits of agit-pop poetry carried by chanted, melodramatic vocals." - le non_jazz
