"As a jazz band, e.s.t. created some of the most popular, enduring, forward-thinking and simply enjoyable music the genre has seen for many years. Over the course of a dozen albums released through ACT, both studio and live sessions, Esbjorn Svensson, Dan Berglund and Magnus Öström captured the hearts and minds of jazz fans with their innovative and imaginative approach to the classic piano trio setting.
The first ever European band to feature on the front cover of US jazz bible Downbeat, they were...

East were one of the best known names in Hungarian progressive rock & symphonic rock in the 1980s (and also one of the very best). Longtime progrock fans and Waysiders will remember classic releases like Huseg, Jatekok and A Szerelem Sivataga.

Well, if you remember those releases, then this is for you, as this live recording covers those three classics, all in complete form!

This album was recorded with additional orchestral musicians and was recorded on April 24, 2014 at the Palace of...

Great to see this very fine, early, UK art-rock classic reissued properly!

"East of Eden's second album, 'Snafu' was originally released in 1970 by Deram Records and saw the band take their particular fusion of jazz, psychedelia, world music...

"Eastman's stated aim with Femenine was to please listeners, saying of the piece that 'the end sounds like the angels opening up heaven . . . should we say euphoria?' "-Mary Jane Leach

“This recording is the première release of Julius Eastman's Femenine, for chamber ensemble. It is Femenine's only known recording, documenting a 1974 performance by the S.E.M. Ensemble (with the composer on piano) that has lain unheard for decades. The music of Julius Eastman (1940-1990) is enjoying an ongoing...

"This three-disc set marks the first appearance on disc of the music of the African-American composer Julius Eastman (1940-1990), who died under unexplained circumstances and whose musical legacy was thought lost. This comprehensive and definitive document, which comprises almost all of Eastman's signature works, will undoubtedly be a revelation for those who have thus far been unable to hear his work.
In his book American Music in the Twentieth Century, composer/author Kyle Gann briefly sums up...

Robert F. Graettinger was one of the strangest, most adventurous and little known composers and arrangers of the mid 20th century.
He was visible as one of Stan Kenton's arrangers circa 1948-1953, when Kenton had to let him go because his music was so unpopular.
His complete recorded work for Stan Kenton (about an hour) was all reissued on a (now out of print) CD called "City Of Glass", which I would highly recommend.
Graettinger was a tall thin man, born in 1923 who was famous among the...

“‘Echo Rain’ is side project of UK progressive rock musician Lee Abraham, known for both his critically acclaimed solo album and as guitarist with UK prog veterans, Galahad.
Echo Rain focuses on shorter guitar instrumental rock songs. 'Western Skies' combines powerful rock riffs and soaring leads but with melodic chord structures and choruses.”

"Jason Eckardt began as a heavy metal guitarist and turned to contemporary music after hearing Webern. His music is highly complex andr etains the energy and intensity of his heavy metal roots. Challenging and highly virtuosic, his compositional...

Hawkwind + stoner + Black Sabbath + hoarse vocalizing = Ecstatic Vision!

“Philadelphia heavy psych quartet Ecstatic Vision (regarded as the second coming of vintage Hawkwind) return with For the Masses.
After bursting onto the scene with their 2015 tribal-psychedelic LP, Sonic Praise, touring the USA with Yob and Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, crushing Roadburn, then quickly releasing a for-heads-only, noisy, psychedelic-garage record to weed out the weak (Raw Rock Fury, 2017), Ecstatic Vision..

Ya GOTTA like flutes!

"Edensong is a progressive rock quintet from New York City. The band's self-released 2008 debut "The Fruit Fallen" was hailed as a "masterpiece" by critics, and helped to pave the way for live shows and notable festival appearances throughout North America.
At over 70 minutes of new music, their 2016 followup, "Years in the Garden of Years" is even more ambitious than it's predecessor, and will be sure to appeal to fans of both classic progressive rock and metal. The concept album features an...

"The project “A Jazzar”, by the Zé Eduardo Unit, was born from a comission by Cineclube de Faro, through its president Anabela Moutinho, after two shows held respectively in 1999 and...

A fine, 1960 session from a fine Los Angeles tenor man who was also one of the earlier West Coast boppers who never received his due. This session lay unreleased for 35 years! And it’s a minor classic of hard bop, larger ensemble writing!

“The liner notes written by Kirk Silsbee tell a tale easily as intriguing as the fine music on this CD. Producer Lester Koenig asked Teddy Edwards to assemble a large ensemble of lesser known jazz musicians from Los Angeles to record originals and new...

Eela Craig were from Austria and are lumped in with the German groups because...well, how many progressive rock Austrian groups were there anyway? The band was formed by keyboardist Hubert Bognermayer in 1971 and released a very rare first album that...

"Eerie Wanda isn’t a person, but rather the name given to the relentlessly memorable recorded results of an album delivered by Croatian/Dutch singer-songwriter Marina Tadic, with a little help from her (incredibly talented) friends, including (but not limited to) the phenomenal rhythm section of Jacco Gardner’s band.

While the word “eerie” isn’t the adjective that springs to mind most readily when listening to “Hum,” there are several others eager to take its place – beautiful, striking and...

Finally available again after much too many years and much demand from our customers. This was the third and final album by the trio of Dave Stewart-organ and piano, Mont Campbell-bass and vocals and Clive Brooks-drums. It was actually recorded a few...

Active and releasing records for at least 25 years, Egoband are an Italian four piece who formerly had a number of releases on Mellow. This is their first new release in 16 years!
Their music is a cross between neo-prog and Rock Progressivo Italiano, with especially strong keyboards.

"It took seventeen long years to Egoband to complete this return. Substantial exponent of the movement Italian neo prog with assets of three albums in the first half of the ninety and convincing and...

Markus Eichenberger clarinet & bassclarinet
Daniel Studer double bass

"Improvisation assumes a fresh experience, an unfamiliarity with what is to come, a disruption of expectations. How much more intense and disorienting the experience becomes in the music of Markus Eichenberger and Daniel Studer. Each one has an impressive résumé of musical adventures, but as a duo their music expresses special qualities and asks challenging questions. Suspended offers no customary structures, no consistent.

"Mathias Eick’s intensely melodic trumpet occupies the centre-stage in this album of self-penned tunes which will appeal to an audience beyond “jazz”. Against the powerful backdrops offered by his sleek, modern band, driven by two drummers, he delivers...
