“Ernest Dawkins formed his New Horizons Ensemble in 1978 and on The Prairie Prophet, the group continues to create music that showcases their unique combination of jazz, bebop, swing, and avant-garde. The Chicago Tribune describes them as “a band with an uncommon versatility that erupts into new music bursts of dissonance and color. This band can

I've been watching this unusual acoustic piano, double bass and drums 'jazz trio' for a few years now and they have finally come up with their first 'real' release with this one.

And a fine one it is if you are into the trance-jazz school of...

“Rats’ Alley is the fifth album from Bay Area composer Michael P. Dawson. A less abstract affair than last year’s The Hipcrime Vocab, Rats’ Alley offers an experimental twist on prog rock, incorporating electronica, nightmarish soundscapes, 12-tone jazz, and an epic interpretation of five scenes from T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land."
MPD played alto, bass, and concert flutes, soprano and tenor saxophones, bass clarinet, oboe, Moog synthesizers, guitar, bass, mandolin, glockenspiel, virtual instruments...

“The band first came together in Copenhagen in 1968 with an original line-up of CY NICKLIN (Vocals, Guitar), OLE PREHN (Guitar & Vocals), KARSTEN LYNG (Guitar), JESS STÆHR (Bass) and HENRIK FRIIS (Drums) and recorded one single (a cover version of The Strawbs’ ‘Tell Me’) before fracturing. Cy Nicklin departed and would resurface in the ranks of another fine Danish progressive band, Culpeper’s Orchard and by the time the band came to record their first album Jess Stæhr had also departed to join Burnin’...

“Jean-Luc André, Sylvie Martineau-Fee and Jean-Philippe Fee started DDAA (Deficit Des Annees Anterieures) in 1977. They are pioneers of the French experimental and indie scene, also connected with Industrial 80s music and audiovisual projects.
Approaching music in a completely unique way, and brilliantly produced by their own Illusion Production label (with more 40 published items), DDAA was and is undoubtedly one of the most legendary groups of the French underground for the past 30 years. Their...

"After the acclaimed partnership with Portuguese trumpeter Susana Santos Silva, put to record in “The Detour Fish” (2014), the Belgian trio De Beren Gieren is back to explore new territory. The main focus is still on the piano-double bass-drums format, but now, as the band announces, «adding an electronic sediment to our acoustic trio sound to create a multilayered, kaleidoscopic work of art». The music keeps flowing...

The latest (2012) from this fine French pianist/composer who has released albums that are both 'jazz' and 'jazz/rock' finds him squarely in the 'jazz' category with this one. He's leading a quartet of sax + rhythm and his usual tuneful playfulness is...

Mini-lp sleeve reissue of this 1973 album, about which Scented Gardens of the Mind said, "If one masterpiece should be singled out as the jewel of Italian rock, my vote would go to De De Lind's one and only album..."

"This album is an excellent mix of heavy guitar/flute based rock and more acoustic folky parts. Their sound differs from the classic Italian bands (Banco, PFM, Quella Vecchia Locanda, etc.). There are no references or musical structures that remind of classical music. De de Lind...

Cor de Groot was a composer and pianist most active in the middle years of the 20th century.
His sound / style is not dissimilar from the piano music of Ravel, Satie and to a somewhat lesser degree, Bartok, all of whom, it should be remembered, were nearly contemporaries.
This is a collection many pieces by de Groot as well as a few associates who work in a similar way; totally wonderful, limpid, piano works. Recommended.

“The name of Cor de Groot (1914-1993) adorned the cover of...

Extremely, extremely unknown 1975 jazz/rock album from a well known Italian jazz drummer who only really made this one electric album with ties to SWAY, another great one-off Italian jazz/rock release; IT SURE IS A GOOD ONE!

“After years of coexistence and correspondence of loving senses, the artistic marriage between Carlo Bordini and Gianluca De Rossi is finally consummated, to the delight of all progressive rock fans. Two artists who certainly do not need introduction, given their past in bands like Rustichelli and Bordini, Goblin, Cherry Five and Taproban...

“...who else in Britain never mind in Sheffield, is prepared to go on stage with nigh on a hundred instruments, very few of which are electric, and try to break through the insulation surrounding most rock gig goers minds…..”-Pink Flag fanzine 1979.

“The music in "America" is full of deep percussion, loaded with reverb in places, full of brain ticklers and drenched in audio sunshine... and then in other places it is quieter and almost delicate. The vocals are often presented more as harmonic washes of sound, occasionally almost subliminal, and all the time contributing to a high atmosphere. This is heady stuff that bears repeated listening.
I am not sure I would go so far as to call Deacon's work a modern form of Art Rock, but it contains some...

" Into The Labyrinth (1993) is Dead Can Dance’s sixth album, one of their most successful releases, its title a reference to the Greek legend of Theseus going into the Labyrinth to slay the Minotaur. It came when Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard had embarked on more individual personal paths, now writing their songs independent of one another, and on separate continents. Engineered and produced by Brendan at his Quivvy Church studio in Ireland, the album is an audiophile benchmark and also noted for being...

“Don’t be fooled by the name; Dead Neanderthals are neither dead nor Neanderthal. What they are is a tight, energy driven cohort of musicians who know how to lay down a good vibe. Worship the Sun, sees Rene Aquarius on drums and Otto Kokke on sax get together for a lesson in genial, improvisational mayhem.
There are just two tracks, the first over 15 minutes and the second just a tad over 17. ‘Worship,’ the first track, is a percussive delight, interspersed with some screaming, devilish sax from...
