"Sprawling. Massive. Unapologetically ambitious. All over the musical map. But, somehow, not excessive...It's really a super-diverse stylistic smorgasbord of sounds, all delivered with the sort of heat and light that suffused the large ensemble music of Sun Ra and Charles Mingus."—Dave Wayne, All About Jazz

Ellen Weller - soprano saxophone, Bb clarinet, flute, piccolo
David Borgo - soprano and tenor saxophone, alto flute
Adnan Marquez - alto ..


Kevin is the guitarist/leader of the fantastic post-metal/mathrock trio Dysrhythmia, but this is something utterly different. It's a record of compositions for acoustic guitar, made with overdubs and studio work and using prepared guitar. Wonderful...

“Hopper wrote the bulk of the material, and these are some of the most gorgeous songs he’s penned in 25 years.” – muze

“This is great Hopper writing, fantastic psychedelic music with a hint of experimentation. Delta Flora is one of the most beautiful records to have come out in 1999...” – Francois Couture/CFLX

“The beauty here is about substance & strong compositional development....natural & effortless. Highly recommended.” – All About Jazz

"American Jazz critic Nat Hentoff once made an example of Daniel Humair as one „who long ago destroyed the notion that European drummers can't swing“. However, the artist born in Geneva, Switzerland, on May 23, 1938, who has been living and playing in Paris with the greatest European and American Jazz-stars ever since he was twenty years old, refuses to let himself be limited to music, let alone swinging. Renowned as a painter, with his abstract art included in some of the world’s best collections...

"Human Feel, the legendary incubator of 21st century jazz talent, has reunited to record "Galore" for Skirl Records. As a group and as individuals, the members of Human Feel have made an indelible mark on the history of jazz and improvised music...

Jim Black: Drums
Kurt Rosenwinkel: Guitar
Andrew D'Angelo: Saxophone
Chris Speed: Saxophone

“Human Feel have been together 30 years now, with no personnel changes in almost as long. Chris Speed, Andrew D'Angelo, Kurt Rosenwinkel and Jim Black had been developing individual and collective vocabularies in this very outfit, which went on to epitomize the '90s downtown scene. Through it all Human Feel has carried on, and whenever they reconvene they have new musical stories to tell, and.

“For the first time since its original release in 1970, an exact re-issue of The Human Zoo album, taken from the original master tapes, with all album artwork faithfully replicated! As was the case with label-mates The Human Expression, The Human Zoo were also from the Los Angeles suburbs of Westminster and were also signed to Accent Records. (In fact, the connection between the two bands is greater still, as the Human Zoo were managed by Jim Foster of The Human Expression). The Human Zoo were originally...

"Humble Grumble is a surprising Belgian band who has built an original sound mixing skilfully and effectively a number of genre – rock, jazz, folk, prog. They follow the great tradition of Belgian alternative bands as X-Legged Sally, Fukkeduk, Think of...

Second release from this large Belgian band, who grew out of folk music origins into into something closer to avant/avant-progressive rock, but whose folk roots definitely show through strongly in a number of good ways here. The group consists of...

Thomas Strønen drums and electronics

"So, there’s five now. The latest one is Humcrush with Sidsel Endresen – a partnership with one of Norway's most legendary singers and improvisers, showing specific coordinates because of that circumstance. And if “Ha!” was different from the previous albums, here is the new “Humcrush” introducing some profound changes in relation to “Humcrush”, “Hornswoggle” and “Rest at World’s End”. Between the...

"The second album from the duo that is Thomas Strønen and Ståle Storløkken, now simply calling themselves Humcrush, after the title of their debut from 2004. While that had a focus on rhythm and abstract grooves, this is a more varied, subtle and someh...

"Ha! is the fourth Humcrush album, this time with the most welcome addition of singer Sidsel Endresen. Having toured together for a couple of years, they finally recorded some shows in 2010. This album was beautifully recorded in concert at the Willisau..


"The members of Hungry Freaks have performed in various incarnations for over a decade, producing a rare chemistry. This album represents the culmination of three years of performing as a power trio. Sounds of progressive rock, math rock, free improvisation, and avant-garde classical music blend together seamlessly throughout their debut self-titled album."

“This is Max Hunt's first official solo release of song based material. 'Hope' was created during the lock- down period of 2020/21. With all live shows with well known German rock guitarist Siggi Schwarz and other live acts in Germany having been cancelled and all social interaction having been prohibited, Max worked on his own in the studio for many months on this release.

One of the greatest and most distinctive rural acoustic bluesmen of all time. Beautiful, unique finger-style guitar work and a soft, attractive voice (but some of the lyrical content is not at all soft) combine to perfect effect. Until his 'rediscovery'..

“Sandy Hurvitz began her career at the age of sixteen when she released a single for the old Liberty label. By the time she was nineteen she was playing keyboards for Frank Zappa’s Mothers Of Invention. Zappa signed her to a solo recording contract for his personal label and decided to produce the record himself. He quickly clashed with the nineteen year old, though, and turned producing chores over to band mate Ian Underwood.
What emerged was a stark and bare bones affair that focused upon her...

Last time ever on this release from the wonderful, now gone, Reel Recordings label.

Great to see this excellent and very unusual modern jazz album, with definite Scottish themes, reissued.
