"American jazz musician George Adams was a multi-instrumentalist - tenor saxophone, flute, bass clarinet - who is best known his work with jazz legends Charles Mingus, Gil Evan and Roy Haynes. This collection from Black Saint/Soul Note is a fitting...

For me, Area were one of the very greatest of the 70s Italian progressive rock bands, and also one of the least typical, which is probably why I like them the best and many folks don't (insert wry smile here!)! This features the three surviving members...

“Art Zoyd is a quartet, but their instrumental arsenal produces the sound of a mighty orchestra.”
– The New York Times

“...the uncompromising classic 1982 opus Phase IV is justifiably considered one of the group's peak accomplishments. The Rock in Opposition co-founders marry dark, unsettling atmospherics à la Univers Zero to precise minimalist constructs with hints of Philip Glass or Steve Reich.”
– AllMusic

"Syliphone was the national record company established in 1959 by the government of newly independent Guinea. Syliphone's premier ensemble was the Syli Orchestre National, which included many of the country's best modern instrumentalists -- among them...

A super-duper deluxe edition of the 1970 art rock classic debut album by Barclay James Harvest.

The set also includes a lavishly illustrated 68-page book with previously unseen photographs and an essay by BJH specialists Keith and Monika Domone...

"Formed in 1961 in the small town of Beyla, Bembeya Jazz relocated to Conakry, the capital of Guinea, in 1970 and earned its 'National' designation by the sheer strength of its talent and the extent of its musical innovations. Still going strong today...

Ed Blackwell was one of the giants of 20th century drumming and this includes two albums by the stupendous Ornette repertory band Old And New Dreams and players such as Dave Holland, Dewey Redman, David Murray, Alvin Baptiste and more...

Paul Bley has been a monster of the modern jazz movement/avant-garde since the mid 50s. Remember, the earliest recordings of Ornette are when Ornette was a part of Paul's band, and he's only developed from there!

This has the albums Sonor...

This is all five of the band's albums: Gorilla, The Doughnut In Granny's Greenhouse, Tadpoles, Keynsham and Let's Make Up And Be Friendly.
Essential, quintessentially British music and humor and a great outfit for their time.

"Trillium E is the first-ever studio recording of an Anthony Braxton opera. The deluxe four-disc set documents this surreal and witty installment in Braxton's ongoing Trillium cycle, and includes a booklet with libretto, photos, and critical essays...

"Long Story Short, the festival organized as the 25th edition of the Unlimited Festival in Wels, Austria (November 2011) designed a festival around Peter Brötzmann's musical practice -- not a retrospective, but a representation of the contemporary...

This is the complete (and beyond!) over-view of the great, late 70s, high quality jazz/rock band that monster drummer Bill Bruford led during the late 70s, after stints in Yes, King Crimson, National Health and UK. This group was one of the last truly great high-water marks of fusion from the 70s, in my opinion.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I have heard grumblings that there is not a signed certificate included; Maybe there is and maybe there isn't, but you are hereby forewarned that there may not be...

"Limited Edition Four-Disc Boxed Set Includes Newly Remastered Versions Of Lick My Decals Off, Baby, The Spotlight Kid And Clear Spot, Plus An Entire Disc Of Unreleased Outtakes."

This is five titles from Billy: Spectrum, Total Eclipse, Crosswinds, A Funky Thide Of Sings and Shabazz!

My dear, late friend Scott had a big collection of 'spoken word' albums that he inherited from his father. There was a lot of weird stuff in there, but the weirdest were the two albums he had by these two guys. The description below sums it all up...

What do you need to know? This is blazing hot stuff and Johnny Mac & Jack DeJohnette is all over it. That's what you need to know!

"If the Bitches' Brew album opened the door to jazz fusion, Jack Johnson punched the door down led by guitarist John McLaughlin, Miles and the band (Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette and many others) put together a record that rocked as ferociously as any early '70s album you'd care to name. This 5-CD set that contains the complete sessions that resulted in...

This group's 1st, self-titled album is classic progressive/fusion release by a quartet instrumental Italian band. Fender Rhodes piano/synths/cello, guitar/tenor sax, bass & drums. Like a bit less adventurous version of The Muffins circa Manna/Mirage, it's a minor jazz-rock classic.

"Less known to the Italian prog fans than many other far more acclaimed colleagues, the Piedmontese band Dedalus are among the most daring acts - and hence, progressive in the truest sense of the word - of the '70s...

"Odyssey is the definitive compendium of solo trumpet music by Bill Dixon, as compiled by the artist. Dixon (1925-2010) was known primarily for his small and large ensemble masterpieces of the decades between Intents and Purposes (1967) and Tapestries (2009). While he appeared infrequently in solo performances, he was continually evolving in studio through these years a remarkably nuanced and powerful solo music -- especially during the mid-1970s, as a counterpart to daily work with student orchestras...

I remember buying the 1st CD in this set, Parallel Worlds, when Dave was still a member of Doctor Nerve and this was his first solo album and being rather amazed at just what a great bandleader this guy who I only knew as 'a trumpeter' was! Shows you...

"Music For Installations is a collection of new, rare and previously unreleased tracks. All of the material was recorded by Eno for use in his installations covering the period from 1986 until the present (and beyond). Over this time he has emerged as the leading exponent of generative music worldwide and is recognized as one of the foremost audio-visual installation artists of his time.
Musician, artist, thinker, activist Brian Eno first came to international prominence in the early '70s as a...

Fairport Convention

"2007 four CD box set that includes all of the British Folk legends' surviving BBC radio recordings, which were taped between 1967 and 1974. It was thought...

This 5 CD set contains all Fausts early classic albums, a John Peel session and unreleased early material. The 40 page booklet is stuffed with unpublished photos, stills from super 8 footage of the famous studio at Wumme, and revealing interviews with ...

This was professionally recorded on the last US tour by the Peter Green-led version of Mac, which by this time featured a 3 guitar, bass, drums line-up. I think that Mac, along with Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience were THE great triumvirate of 60s 'blues influenced' psychedelic rock bands. Sadly, their greatness was never fully caputured on album, but this comes close, I think.

This has two 25' + versions of Rattlesnake Shake as well as other material, some of which is just as good and...
