"You take a trio of the finest traditional griot musicians from Mali and put them in a studio with Western music's most revolutionary string quartet - and the resulting album is one of the most richly rewarding musical collaborations you are likely to encounter. Together the Kronos Quartet and Trio Da Kali have created an album that is rich in texture, hauntingly melodic and strikingly inventive as violins, viola and cello combine with balafon, ngoni and the powerful female voice of Hawa 'Kassé Mady'...

"The music of Trio Heinz Herbert is first and foremost a tonal experience. Broad arcs and ingenious geometric grooves give it its form. Spaces are created, pivotal points set, textures woven. Within these free markings the tonal chemistry begins to unfold its potential. Sometimes a space shuttle floats through an underwater garden, sometimes the sounds glisten like a cell under the microscope...

The trio's captivating aesthetic is thanks to a symbiotic intensity of expressio. It contains traces of '70s free jazz psychedelics and particles of contemporary club culture and aspires to a broad fusion of free jazz and electronic music, energetically driven by a collective improvisation which outflanks solo gymnastics. After their celebrated 2016 recording, The Willisau Concert, with YES.

A cult Montreal jazz band, Trio Derome Guilbeault Tanguay is loved for its irresistable swing, audacity, sophisticated group playing, highly original repertoire and authentic style. Reeds, bass and drums by these 3 mainstays of Ambiances Magnetiques' s...

Alfred Harth, reeds, pocket trumpet, voice / Wilber Morris, bass / Kevin Norton, drums, vibraphone.

"Bassist Wilber Morris’ contribution to contemporary jazz is still being documented, after his death. Such a rich career certainly deserves that..

This trio is very representative of the 'french improv scene'. Recently, people attending Musique Action Festival in Vandoeuvre were stunned by their breathtaking performance. Original instrumentation, musicians coming from very different musical field...


Trioscapes is a instrumental avant/fusion trio of sax/bass/drums. It was initiated by Dan Briggs, the bassist of the very popular Between The Buried and Me. Also featured in the group (because it's just a trio, everyone is heavily, heavily featured!) are saxist Walter Fancourt and drummer Matt Lynch. This is aggressive, ass-kicking, modern jazz/rock that includes elements of metal (it's very heavy) and elements of the avant-garde. Everyone plays really well and the whole thing holds together really well...

Triox6de are an instrumental jazz-rock/fusion quartet (keyboards, guitar, bass & drums) from Montreal. Lots of tasty Fender Rhodes work and the rhythm section are solid and rockin' and sometimes even funky, but the emphasis is definitely on the guitar...

“Caronte 50 Years Later is the new studio album by The Trip led by historical drummer and leader Pino "Caronte" Sinnone. The historic album Caronte, released in 1971, would have turned 50 and for the occasion was recorded in full by the new formation of the band with a more current sound.
Today the band consists of Andrea "Ranfa" Ranfagni (vocals), Carmine Capasso (vocals, guitars, sitar, theremin), Tony Alemanno (bass, backing vocals), Andrea "Dave" D'Avino (hammond, piano, backing vocals)...

Apparently there are two ‘new’ versions of The Trip. Furio Chirico’s version released a new album 2 years ago and now there’s this.
And both bands and their releases are good and sound like old school RPI! Go figure!

"This album is the new album with new and totally unreleased songs by The Trip that Pino Sinnone (historic drummer of the group) brought back to life in 2017 with a very valid lineup that enchanted the whole of Italy in the festivals and concerts in which he participated....

"It is not an overstatement to say that Ken Vandermark is an unavoidable figure in the north-American jazz of the last two decades. Born in 1964, in Warwick, Rhode Island, the musician, composer and arranger started his musical studies in his childhood,

"Figure in the Carpet is a darker journey for Triptet, with explorations about the loneliness of space travel and the isolation of technology. The opening track pushes listeners out of a spaceship, into a desolate world where uncertainty and danger...

"There is jazz music outside of New York and Chicago, and it can be sophisticated and engaging. Such is the case with Imaginary Perspective by Triptet, hailing from the moist and wooded epicenter of grunge: Seattle. By discarding traditional ideas...

Anyone who has ever asked me "who are some of your musicial heroes?" has had to listen to me prattle on about Lennie Tristano. So, I'll spare you. This is from his last European concert tour. Recorded 10/31/65, it's a solo piano recital, which isn't th...

"Tritonus was an early project initiated by Peter K. Seiler, a German art-student who continues to make music today and is a well-regarded new-age/ambient/classical composer and performer. Seiler's intent was to create a 'classical rock' band in the tradition of EMERSON, LAKE, and PALMER, complete with heavy keyboards and Lake-inspired English vocals.

The band toured extensively from 1973 to 1978, but Seilers by then had focused his attentions on television and radio commercials and other...

Peter K. Seiler – organ, synthesizer, piano, Mellotron, celesta
Ronald J.D. Brand – bass, vocals, guitar, percussion
Charlie Jöst – drums, percussion

“Tritonus from Mannheim are sometimes compared to Emerson, Lake & Palmer, but they were definitely independent. At the keys - including the Mellotron - was Peter Seiler, who later had a good run with many of his own releases and gigs and is still active today, mainly in the field of electronic music.
Here is the digital edition of thei

Triumvirat were an *extremely* ELP-styled band from Germany. This was their 2nd album, and is the one that established them in the USA. This is a lot of fun, but it really is very ELP sounding. This one came out in 1974 and is remastered, with 2 non-lp bonus tracks.

Triumvirat were an *extremely* ELP-styled band from Germany. This 1976 release has some changes, as Barry Palmer joined, replacing Helmut Koellen. Some folks think that this is one of their better ones, even though Koellen is missed. This remastered v...

Warren Dale is a keyboardist and woodwind man who has been a member of both French TV and Trap. His work with those ensembles will give you an idea of some of what this album with his new band is about, as this is a solid avant-progressive styled...

"We listened to a load of King Crimson, Jethro Tull and Yes LPs, and dragged the 70s kicking and screaming through the subsequent decades, whilst cutting away all the 20 minute keyboard solos and ditching the capes. Rolling that ball of musical joy, further forward in time to create a genre snowball effect. Until we landed, ready to sculpt the mass of noise into beautiful shapes."

"Whilst the very definition of progressive rock is music that progresses beyond its original form, very few of the.

Trojan Horse are a young, noisy, modern progressive rock band, but they are modern not in the 'crunchy/metallic' sense, but more in the post punk sense, ala Knifeworld.

In fact, even though they don't sound a damn thing like Knifeworld...

Debut album by this funny-yet-musically-satifying offshoot of Panzerpappa. The band is: Trond Gjellum (of Panzerpappa) on drums, percussion, vocals and programming, and what I assume must be his suburban savages...

"The Norwegian quartet The Tronosonic Experience are releasing their eponymous debut album. The album was recorded live in three intense December days at Ocean Sound Recordings, a studio located literally on brink of the Atlantic Ocean on the remote island of Giske on the western coast of Norway. The Tronosonic Experience represents a departure from Losen Records rooster of jazz artists, and is a powerful outing of instrumental rock. The band describes their music as "punk-jazzavant- rock", and is...

Slide guitarist Dave Tronzo is one of the unheralded greats. Reeves Gabrels played in Tin Machine and is also a fine player. They appear here with bass and drums and this is a excellent, off kilter sometimes rock and sometimes not rock album...

Rolf Trostel-Der Prophet $18.00 "Electronic pop was the musical goal of the Berlin School musician Rolf Trostel on Der Prophet (1982), which was released in the same year as its predecessor Two Faces. Der Prophet is the culmination of this phase of Trostel's oeuvre, which was tightly coupled to the PPG Wave Computer. As on his previous releases, the sonic peculiarities and clanking sounds of wavetable synthesis are emphasized. Yet here they are obviously more interlinked with the rhythm computer...

Nice to see a quality reissue of this 1981 electronic music release; we carried this in its original lp format when it was first released by Rolf himself in the early 80s.
Rolf worked with the great Günter Schickert in the late 70s, performing live, improvised concerts with him and this music, while not featuring Schickert, is based on that experience, so while it isn't 'analog paradise', it is also firmly rooted in the classic style and mental space of the classic Berlin-style electronic sound....

"Bureau B present a reissue of Rolf Trostel's second album Two Faces, originally released in 1982. While Inselmusik, released the previous year, was intended as a basis for live performance, Trostel composed and produced the five instrumental tracks on Two Faces exclusively for this album. The music is clearly a product of the Berlin School, yet it is more sophisticated and varied than its predecessor. Some new additions to Trostel's instrument collection are audible. While on its predecessor the still...

Performed by Gianluigi Trovesi on clarinets and Gianni Coscia on accordion, this is inspired by "Rise and Fall of the City of Mahogonny" by Kurt Weill.

"What a stunning achievement! Italian reedman Gianluigi Trovesi is at his best in this new album, which also feautures Umberto Petrin on piano and Fulvio Maras on percussions and electronics. But what what kind of music is this? Is it jazz? Is it...

This 1973 recording of Robin and band on the road in the USA in touring to support his very first solo album, Twice Removed From Yesterday.
The sound is a little rough, as it was recorded for a radio broadcast, but it’s generally a high fidelity experience over-all and it’s also the earliest live recordings of Robin and band to have come out!

“Bridge of Sighs, Robin Trower's sophomore album following his departure from Procol Harum. Lauded critically, commercially a breakthrough, the album saw Robin push his trio's initial concept into exciting new territory.
Accompanied by James Dewar on soulful vocal and bass duty and Reg Isidore underpinning their psychedelic blues sound with masterful drumming. Producer and former Procol Harum bandmate Matthew Fisher and Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick take on control room duties to help bring this...

“For six decades, Robin Trower's career has been an act of quiet rebellion. Rewind the reels of the British guitarist's backstory and you'll find an artist who has always rolled the dice rather than take the path of least resistance. Fast-forward to 2023 and Trower's new studio album, Joyful Sky, represents vindication for his latest flash of artistic instinct.
Always receptive to singers who can elevate his emotive guitar touch, the 78-year-old heard a quality in the smoky power of the acclaimed...

“The iconic Robin Trower returns with No More Worlds To Conquer. For more than six decades, Robin Trower's career has known no bounds. At the age of 76, the British guitarist can reflect on a journey in which he has planted flags across the musical sphere and played every role imaginable. Few would dispute that the title of Trower's latest album is a fair summary of the thumbprint he has left on the musical universe. But as he reminds us, it should not be misinterpreted as his mission being accomplished...

Seeing Trower about 4-5 years ago gave me a profoundly strong respect for him as a guitarist and bandleader. I hope I sound this good at 70!

"March 9th is Robin Trower’s 70th birthday and we are the ones who get a present that day with the...

One of the last of the great guitar heros of the 60s who is still firing on all cylinders today.

"Legendary British bluesrock guitar statesman, Robin Trower approaches his finest hour with 'time and emotion' his latest tune set. Trower's evocative note bends and signature tone along with his powerful lead vocals totally bring it. There are plenty of tightly knitted bass lines and drum grooves supporting RT's gut lifting sound to titillate the listener's ear. It is an unadulterated combustion of...

This new deluxe version is housed in a gatefold sleeve and is remastered for 2023. It features 3 unreleased versions of album tracks, the B side of the "Man Of The World" single (Take A Fast Train) and 4 BBC John Peel sessions.”

One of the last standing *true* guitar gods ["DEATH TO FALSE GUITAR GODS!"], Robin has been making great music with Procol Harum and then under his own name for 50 years. Phew. I saw him a few years back and he was still one of the greats.

"Continuing his productive creative surge, the guitar master rediscovers his rock chops in this new studio package. Ten great new songs, phenomenal guitar playing, and that signature tone that only Robin Trower can cultivate from his Strat."

Rare, self-released symphonic-oriented progressive rock featuring guitar, flute, organ/mellotron/electric piano, bass, drums & vocals. ''Overall, Troya's sound was melancholic and lyrical -- classical influenced progressive folk rock, comparable to ban...

“The Troyes exploded onto the music scene with 'Rainbow Chaser' a regional smash hit that climbed to number 3 on the top 40 in September of 1966. Sensing a new phenomenon, famed bandleader Ray Anthony (who already had smash hits with 'Dragnet' and 'Peter Gunn') signed the group to his new rock label Space Records. His faith in the band was so big that nearly two albums worth of material were recorded at United Sound (Detroit) in 1966 and 1967. Unfortunately, only two singles were issued and the rest of...
