This normally sells for $18.00, but we've got a special on a limited number of copies for $5.00 off the regular price. Once those copies are gone, there will be other, identical copies still available and this will still rock and kick butt, but they...

“Last Dream of the Morning is insistently acoustic, distinctions between free jazz and improvised music fall away here. Kinships and antecedents extend from AMM to Sun Ra and they’re being consistently synthesized and extend into new terrains.
Bassist John Edwards and drummer Mark Sanders have become the defining ‘rhythm’ pairing of English free jazz, working together for decades in groups with Evan Parker, Veryan Weston and many others. If this is a first meeting of a trio with Butcher, past...

"We can’t say that these two musicians are traveling parallel ways. John Butcher’s experiments with feedback, amplification, microtonality and multitracking are pretty far from the studies in rhythm and texture developed by Paal Nilssen-Love. The British

''Recorded live by Jean-Marc Foussat, during Festival Jazz Mulhouse, at the Chapelle Saint-Jean, on August 26th, 2000. This trio played for the first time at Vand|uvre Musique Action Festival in may 1999. Many people who were attending this concert u...

“Although Chargin Falls, Ohio-native musician, Chris Butler, is most known for his creating of the experimental new wave band The Waitresses, the Kent State University student (yes, he experienced the infamous Kent State shooting) was also actively involved in the highly influential 70s Kent/Akron/Cleveland music and art scene that practically invented the American new wave sound with such bands as Devo, Chrissie Hynde’s Jack Rabbit, the Bizarros, Pere Ubu, Pagans, and Butler’s own Waitresses, 15-60-75...

“Jerry Butler's voice was the perfect pop medium, gracefully soulful and smooth as ice, leading to his signature nickname, "the Ice Man." Simply put, Butler could sing last week's grocery list and make it work. Born in Mississippi, his family was part of the migration north to Chicago, where as a child he began singing in church, which is where he met Curtis Mayfield, and together they joined a vocal group, the Roosters. By 1957 the quintet had changed its name to Jerry Butler & the Impressions, and a...

“This album was recorded in the days when the Butterfield Blues Band had been expanded from the early 6-piece Chicago blues band into a larger band with brass section and the later albums (issued as Paul Butterfield's Better Days) veered more towards jazz.
This live album from 1970 sounds really good and almost has a better sound than the band's first studio album, we get off to a great start with a harmonica solo then the brass slams in with the Stax-style punchy horn fills of "Born Under a Bad...

Very rare, 16 year old album on the long defunct and collectable Hellhound label by a Norfolk, VA. band who are still around and are much better than they are here. This is metal/technical metal with typical metal vocals. Now they are an instrumental...

“They make music that has "length and width and breadth and depth", but no real recognizable shape to speak of. Having "shape" would mean that any of the previous adjectives would have to go, because confining the attributes to the world of Space would limit its possibilities. At the same time, they offer us a glimpse into expanded dimensions of music that Mtume talked about.
Enough philosophised: this is great music.

“Trumpeter Donald Byrd and baritonist Pepper Adams always made for a potent team. With guitarist Kenny Burrell, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Louis Hayes (using the pseudonym of "Hey Lewis") completing the sextet, this was a particularly strong group.
For this Bethlehem LP, Byrd and Adams play two of Pepper's originals, Errol Garner's rarely performed "Trio," Thad Jones' "Bitty Ditty" and a lengthy and memorable rendition of "Stardust." Well worth searching for.”-AllMusic

“The New Percussion Group of Amsterdam was formed by two percussionists of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra in 1980; Jan Pustjens and Niels Le Large with the initial aim of being able bring their new works to a younger audience. This disc entitled Go Between which was originally released in 1986 and has now been remastered, features legendary drummer Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson, Earthworks) as well as respected Japanese marimba player Keiko Abe. Although Bruford and Abe don't play together or...

"Between 1961 and 1965, Eje Thelin formed his first own group with which he toured across Europe. In 1964 he performed in Copenhagen with George Russell; from the late 60s to the mid-70s he played with Joachim Kühn and John Surman and turned to Free Jazz.
This album has become a legend, mostly due to the participation here with Belgian Joel Vandrooogenbroeck, who had played with big names such as René Thomas, Bobby Jaspar, Barney Wilen and Zoot Sims but who, in 1968 would form the experimental rock...
