Rafael Toral acoustic and electronic feedback, amplifier, direction | Hugo Antunes double bass | Nuno Morão drums and percussion | Nuno Torres alto saxophone, electronic instrument

"Electronic music with a human touch – that’s what Rafael Toral proposed himself to do when he started with the Space Program. Or electro-acoustic music, to be more exact, because his adapted amplifiers and other feedback and sinusoidal devices are combined with conventional instruments, played by fellow Portuguese...

"sPacemoNkey is the duo project of pianist Morten Qvenild and drummer Gard Nilssen. They enjoyed collaborating in Mathias Eick's band, and quickly decided to try playing together as a duo. During the past 10-15 years, Morten Qvenild has been one of the...

''One of the most appreciated melodeon players in Italy, Sparagna rediscovers Tarantella's rhythms & repertoire, both solo & with the Bosio Big Band, his astonishing melodeon orchestra! This album brings us back to the memory of our peasant heritage wi...

"What better way to promote Sparks' spinning blender of demented pop than Propaganda? The band's fourth album (and second with producer Muff Winwood) is chock-full of great ideas, including the overseas hits "Something for the Girl With Everything" and "Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth." With Russell Mael delivering the lyrics in his rapid-fire falsetto, the lyric sheet is a necessary compass, as the clever wordplay is a key to discovering what these pranksters are up to. Ron Mael's skewed take on...

Tim Sparks-Little Princess $13.00 "Another fabulous CD of traditional Jewish music arranged for fingerstyle guitar and performed by the wonderful trio of Tim Sparks, Greg Cohen and Cyro Baptista, whose CD Tanz was released in 2000 to great acclaim...

A great price on a great album of solo acoustic guitar music. I had never heard of Sparks until his first on Tzadik, but he's actually had a fairly lengthy career, studying classical guitar, Portugese and Eastern European music, playing in R 'n' B ban...

Special price on this very recent and very good ECM release. " Martin Speake has had a varied and adventurous recording career and has always been very sure of himself. Change of Heart, his debut recording for ECM, was recorded way back in 2002, so the...

"Andreas Spechtl's debut album Thinking About Tomorrow, And How To Build It is a multifaceted work. It is personal -- Spechtl invites his listeners to look deep into the soul of his "I". It is rooted in history -- Spechtl constructs an emotional bridge to the cosmic music of Can and the aural sculptures of Conrad Schnitzler. It's also a modern and hybrid work -- Spechtl mines deep strata of sound and samples in his sonic quarry, layering them over a constant bass drum, capable of launching every DJ set...

Special Venture is led by Danish guitarist and composer John Sund and also features Jon Meinild-vibes, keyboards and samples, Yadam Gonzalez-bass, Ayi Solomon-percussion and Morten Illsøe-drums. John's a pretty brilliant player, and this album is a...

Chris Speed: clarinet

“Chris Speed, a driving force of modern jazz for decades, presents Light Line, an impressive solo statement on the clarinet. The repertoire of this musical legacy includes his own pieces and short improvisations, as well as compositions by inspiring luminaries such as John Coltrane, Julius Hemphill, Eric Dolphy and Paul Motion. In addition, there are compositions by friends and long-time musical companions such as Andrew D'Angelo, Skúli Sverrisson and Hilmar Jensson....

Chris Speed: Tenor Saxophone
Chris Tordini: Acoustic Bass
Dave King: Drums

“Since arriving in New York in the early 1990s, Chris Speed has become one of the most vital improvising musicians on the scene through work that has always varied widely, moving from a jazz base out through various forms of folk, classical and rock music.
Over the last six years the reedist has been sorting through the varied strands of his circuitous, decades-long career, using his versatile trio with...

"Following on from the gutsy blues-rock groove of the band's first and probably only genuine studio release, 1971's Eve, Speed, Glue & Shinki's second release, originally released in 1972 on Atlantic and often referred to as Tiger, brought together a...

Sannety: electronics
Trevor Dunn: bass

“The album “merdeka atau mati” was constructed through a number of rigorous writing sessions, rehearsals and home recordings mostly in 2017/2018. Meticulous care was given to create something new that included improvisation but not ruled by it.
Sannety designed a unique software instrument (programmed in Max/MSP by Dutch programmer Timo Hoogland) — a percussion instrument in its own right — that explores micro-rhythms not unlike Carnatic or...

It's hard to believe that after all this time, that really good archival material is still lying in the vaults, but there are. This is a previously unheard and unknown quintet who recorded their only (and all previously unreleased) recordings in 1972...

“The sound art of the Swiss trio Quiet Tree can be located in a musical square, in which programming, producing and musical virtuosity come together. With a keen sense for atmospheric moods, the music drifts through multi-faceted soundscapes. Euphorbia grooves, irritates and breathes the vastness and laconic tranquility of a Nordic landscape surrounded by an aura of melancholy. “Improvisation.

Matthias Spillmann trumpet, flugelhorn
Andreas Lang double bass
Moritz Baumgärtner drums

"Getting to the core of the matter is what drives trumpeter Matthias Spillmann and his stage companions, Andreas Lang and Moritz Baumgärtner, in this CD recorded live. And this means to find the essence of this music genre we call jazz, using the repertory of its history, namely songs written by William C. Handy (“St. Louis Blues”), Billy Strayhorn (“A Flower is a Lovesome Thing”), Ornette Coleman...
