I see a lot of concerts and a lot of concerts by musicians I know and also a lot by musicians I don't. One of the best concerts I saw in 2009 (and certainly the best concert I saw by a group I was completely unfamiliar with) was the Finnish group...

The only release by this very obscure Finnish progressive rock band, originally released on the even more obscure M&T label, whose album was originally released in 1977. Vocals, guitar, keyboards and synths, bass and drums. You can compare this to...

A Christmas album that won't make you want to hurl. The foundation of the incredible vocal force that is Vrttin, the Kaasinen sisters lovingly present their favorite Finnish x-mas songs, arranged by JPP's Timo Alakotila, and performed with an all-star ...

Great, rare Canadian album with Kaczynski playing all the instruments and sounding like a band project throught the miracle of multitracking, that I never thought would be reissued on CD, but here it is! "Charles Kaczynski guested on the first Conventu...

Offering this release out gives me a bit of a thrill because I had the very great pleasure of seeing this dual guitar/bass/drums outfit open for Guapo at Les Tritonales last July. I didn't know anything about them at the time, but I was quite impressed...

This is happy, upbeat prog for happy people!

The second album by the reunited Kaipa, co-led by keyboardist Hans Lundin and guitarist Roine Stolt. Also included is Roine's Flower Kings companion bassist Jonas Reingold. Interestingly, this time, the fabulous Morgan Agren is the drummer (of Mats/Mor...

This is the release that Henry was referring to in the notes to Everything Forever when he said he regretted releasing something only 70' long. Well, I'm gonna stick up for 70'. 70' can be a good thing. This CD, for example, is a very good thing...

Assembled by Henry Kaiser as his tribute to Derek Bailey - one of Henry's big influences as a player - this very nice digipack consists of about 65% unreleased material and about 35% released-but-often-rare material. It has a very amusing cover which i...

This is the definitive Henry Kaiser solo guitar disc! We gave Henry carte blanche to make what he felt represented his best work, & the result is this 75' disc of incredible guitarwork. Some tracks are from (long out of print) lps, many tracks are prev...

This is exactly what it says it is - Henry performing solo and acoustically on guitars (pretty damn wild guitars) made by luthier Allan Beardsell. Honestly (is Henry looking?) I think I slighly prefer Henry's electric work generally, but this...

The first volume by Yo Miles! is another great, fun listen and also a fine recording (in HDCD) with a fairly different cast of players than the 2 Cuneiforms: Henry and Wadada plus Nels Cline, Chris Muir (guitars), Wally Ingram, Lukas Ligeti (drums), RO...

Among the giants enthroned in jazz's pantheon, no one made as big, as broad, as bad-boy brazen of an impact on popular music in many manifestations of jazz, rock and improvisation - as Miles Davis. At the same time, he pioneered new routes for rock. Th...

The great Cuneiform Records drillout/blowout sale. After more than 25 years of releasing great, hard to sell music, you won't be surprised to read that we've simply got too many of some titles. To make some room for the future, for a limited time you...

Two fabulous players give us improvised guitar duets, which get into a wilder, freer vein. [Victo]

Henry Kaiser personifies an 'improvisor' more than anyone else I personally know. Meaning I never quite know what to expect. I certainly wasn't expecting this. The Rev. Hen Sure, a Buddhist Monk for over 30 years, reads Buddhist stories - the first...

"This is Henry Kaiser's personal favorite of his improvisational albums recorded in the last decade. He considers it to be some of his best guitar-playing ever! Kiku Day is a ji-nashi shakuhachi player from Denmark. She currently explores...

One hour of acoustic, completely free, ''open'' improvisations; duets, trios, & quartets on acoustic guitars, violin, and alto saxophone. [Victo]

Great, unique and pretty damn cool Norwegian group who are apparently quite well known and loved in their own country and pretty well unknown outside of it. They use elements of Eastern European music along with Beefhearty rhythms (as later borrowed...

There is no shortage of great music out there. The situation for musicians gets worse and worse; less CDs can be sold, less places to play, less money to the musicians and yet...the music perseveres! This is hammered home to me this week by this great Fre

This reissues the 1st of two very obscure early 1980's albums by this progressive/fusion quartet of keyboards, guitar, bass & drums. While this album is not a classic by any means, it was kind of a 'last gasp' of the German scene, & definitely has some...
