Luís Lopes electric guitar / Jean-Luc Guionnet alto saxophone

"When the concert of this live recording was announced in Lisbon, it was with some surprise. The backgrounds, references and styles of the Portuguese guitarist Luís Lopes and the French alto saxophonist (and church organist, and electro-acoustic manipulator) Jean-Luc Guionnet couldn’t be more different. Lopes is known for his free improvised settings, his noise solo blastings and the open jazz, but tintet with rock, he plays with...

"In music, the art of time, you necessarily find the “what” in the “when”. And the “what / when” factor, here, is a jumpy, unquiet, syncopated music coming from the same sources...

Brandon Lopez - bass
Steve Baczkowski - saxophones
Gerald Cleaver - percussion
Cecilia Lopez - synthesizer (track 5)

“Brandon Lopez works at the fringes of jazz, free improvisation, noise and new music. This collaborative powerhouse never lets up with underground sax hero Steve Baczkowski and Gerald Cleaver who is among the most agile and wide-ranging first-call musicians on the 21st century jazz scene.”

“The best free improvisation ensembles generally carry three characteristics: tremendous mastery by the individual instrumentalists, sympathetic listening, and instinctual timing. This quartet displays all three on this fantastic recording released by Relative Pitch. The group is comprised of Brandon Lopez (Brandon Lopez Trio, Xivaros, The Mess, Nate Wooley Quartet) on Contrabass, Matt Nelson (Battle Trance, GRID, tUnE-yArDs) on Tenor Saxophone, Andria Nicodemou (Leap of Faith, London Improvisers...

“Fusing architecture, installation, and composition, in RED (db), two large woven wire nets hung from Roulette’s ceiling holding instruments creating a complex feedback organism. The suspended drums and double bass acted as resonant bodies intensified by the instruments simultaneously played in the space by percussionist Gerald Cleaver, bassist Brandon Lopez and Cecilia Lopez on electronics.”

"...while these ears can't claim to have heard even close to everything that López has churned out in recent years, the quality of his recordings is one of the safer bets in modern music."-Dusted

“Cuban pianist Harold López-Nussa, of a musical family, is well-versed in classical and jazz piano as well as with Cuban popular music. He played with the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba, performed with Buena Vista Social Club artists, and won awards at Montreaux Jazz Festival. Here we hear his Latin jazz renditions of his own compositions and works by Thelonious Monk, Chucho Valdés, uncle Ernán López-Nussa, Aldo López-Gavilán, and Miguel Nuñez. López-Nussa plays electronic keyboard, too, and has...

The sound quality, while NOT professional, is more than decent enough to listen to and this is actually the real deal of early, unknown, pretty out style Krautrock!

“This CD contains all audio recordings of the legendary hippie commune between 1971 and 1974!
LORD'S FAMILY was a rural and music commune that was founded in Nuremberg in 1970 and lived in Beilngries in the Altmühltal from 1971 to 1974 in an old castle called The Schlössl! The group's mystical and ecological self-image, which...

Hey! We here at Wayside Music are so cool that we used to carry all of Rudiger's releases, back before they were re-discovered by the tastemakers who sneered at them back then. And think how much these original would be worth if you had bought them...

"If your only interest in Lothar And The Hand People lies in the outré use of Theremin and early Moog synthesisers on their two LPs, you may move on. This is an early days document – a live recording in which they have a quite competent and listenable rip through several of the garage-band classics of the day, sounding quite like all the Chocolate Watch Bands and Shadows of Knightses who took their cues more from the Stones than from The Beatles. The Theremin would come later. But this is much more than...

“Following a series of highly acclaimed solo guitar albums, Nighttime Birds and Morning Stars is Sarah Louise’s most fearless work to date. Louise broadens beyond folk forms, turning streams of raw electric guitar into entire oceans of aural texture. Her rich playing is warped beyond recognition through inventive synthesizing and digital manipulations. The innovative songs mine...

Here's what I know, and it isn't much. Julien Lourau is a saxist and bandleader in France who gained a lot of attention in the 90s by mixing up electro-music with jazz.

The lineup is:

“Lovely Little Girls is a theatrical art-rock band from Chicago that features members of Cheer-Accident and The Flying Luttenbachers. They specialize in odd harmonies and catchy melodies served with a histrionic flair.

"America: The Rough Cut is my statement not only on American music and American song, but also my commentary on the way American musicians of all styles handle that old-time music and those old song forms . . . The old things -- not just the blues, but gospel music and pre-blues shouts and language, plus hillbilly/minstrel song and medicine show irony -- reflect a disinterest in the polite trappings of (primarily but not only white) society, an implicit rejection of basic tonal, sonic, and harmonic....
