Richard Poole: Drums / Marilyn Crispell: Piano / Gary Peacock: Bass

"Nevessa' is a recording studio in the town of Woodstock, New York state, where pianist Marilyn Crispell is based. There she met up with drummer Richard Poole and bass player Gary Peacock in November 2014 for a session of creative improvisation. The result was ten beautiful pieces of music which document the great art of spontaneous music-making and underline the outstanding personalities of these three fantastic musicians...

Really excellent, very young-looking trio from Brazil, playing piano, accordion and keyboards, basses and drums. Brasilian music mixed with jazz rock and much more.

This progressive, eclectic and sometimes electric folk / not folk album is tuneful and mighty enjoyable. Hard to categorize though, as it’s a very personal music.

“This is an intriguing album which might be loosely described as folk, given the traditional leanings of the track listing. However, it's the instrumentation, musicianship and overall mood of this fine collection which makes it a must buy for any serious collector. The first track, for example, played on a ba-wu accompanied...

“This set has floated around in bootleg form for a while now, but this is the first "legitimate" release of this gig. It features Crosby -guitar/vocals, Jerry Garcia-guitar/vocals. Phil Lesh-bass, and (according to some Dead followers) either Hart or Kreutzmann on drums. The eight tracks are almost all fairly lengthy, giving the band (especially Garcia) a chance to really get into the music. The booklet has pieces of an interview from Rolling Stone from 1970.
Recorded before the release of Crosby's...

"Good album! It continues a line of the work we did together in 1973 that no-one else has quite followed."- Robert Fripp.

David Cross is, of course, the vioilinist who was with King Crimson during their greatest (imo) period. This is a band he's assembled with a vocalist (who doesn't sound "like" Wetton, but has a somewhat similar style and is a good singer), guitar, bass and drums, with himself on electric violins and keyboards. This is a very good and even really accessible album of adventurous...

"David Cross was the violinist with the King Crimson band which created 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic' and Andrew Keeling is a contemporary composer and flautist. The two musicians collaborated on a series of improvisations, which has evolved into this beautiful collection of electric violin and flute duets, 'English Sun'. There is a common heritage at work here that goes far deeper than it's clear classical and rock components. This is new music by anybody's standard."

"David Cross was a member of King Crimson during the 1970s and David Jackson was a member of Van der Graaf Generator. This new studio album also features Mick Paul on bass, Craig Blundell on drums and was produced by Jake Jackson. The 12 new tracks on this album showcase the talents of Cross & Jackson and will appeal to the fanbases of both artists and the bands they have been in. It's an innovative meeting of minds."

"So, what have we here?
David Cross from the King Crimson of "Larks Tongues.

A frighteningly good acoustic guitarist, performing on both steel & classical guitar, & this is an CD that isn't jazz, isn't progressive & isn't classical music. It is really a combination of all things & could also accurately be called ''just nice mus...

Crown Larks are an excellent Chicago band who play a cool unique progressive rock with heavy psych influences. I stumbled upon them a couple of years ago and they impressed and I was a instant convert!

This is both albums complete on one CD plus two bonus tracks!

"As excellent as their debut is, that album proved the band needed lengthier compositions to allow the band to stretch out, and with Los Delirios del Mariscal, this band out of Argentina delivers just that. This time around, Anibal Kerpel purchased a Fender Rhodes electric piano, giving the band a bit more of a fusion slant than their previous offering. What little Deep Purple/Atomic Rooster influences had been thrown out the window...

"Stephan Crump, Ingrid Laubrock and Cory Smythe – this trio consists of three innovative improvisers and jazz musicians of the younger Brooklyn scene. An intense and extremely relaxed encounter in the recording studio led to this outstanding CD.

"Frühe Jahre is the first time reissue of C-Schulz's early work from late 1980s and early '90s. Schulz's first LP, 10. Hose Horn, was introduced alongside other debut LPs from Jim O'Rourke and Frank Dommert on Dommert's Entenpfuhl label in 1991. Combining the cathartic sounds of industrial, early techno, and innovative pop with inspiration from acousmatic, New Music, and Dada, Schulz's music is a prime example of the Cologne experimental music scene of the time. Rhythmic delights, outlandish...

First ever CD issue of this weird, sort-of-systems-music release from 1976!

“David Cunningham was born in Ireland in 1954. His work ranges from pop music to gallery installations including several collaborations with visual artists. His first significant commercial success came with The Flying Lizards' single "Money," an international hit in 1979.
Originally released in 1976, Cunningham's first solo album Grey Scale has become a landmark statement of DIY minimalist composition - continuing...

“Composer Douglas J. Cuomo's new piece, Seven Limbs, is unique and unusual. The suite features the simultaneous performance of inspired improvisations by guitar genius Nels Cline and meticulously-notated music performed by the Grammy-nominated Aizuri Quartet. Inspired by an ancient Buddhist prayer, also called Seven Limbs, it is music of great power that is put in service to a spiritual ideal, in the tradition of John Coltrane's A Love Supreme and the music of Arvo Pärt. // The music on Seven Limbs was....
