Throughout much of the 1970s, King Crimson were one of my very favorite bands and the short-lived band with John Wetton & Bill Bruford was their apex for me. I loved their work and I loved their improvisations, which were adventurous and interesting...

"This 2003 release represented the recorded culmination of the various ideas, approaches and styles employed by the Crimson turn of the century double duo line-up. Introduced and punctuated by a series of a cappella treated vocal pieces that...

For many years, this was the only live document of the magnificence of the final lineup of the 70's King Crimson. While its importance was definitely superceeded by The Great Deceiver box set, many folks have a great love for this album. So, here it is, with the great improv "Asbury Park" here, and with two bonus tracks: Fracture and Starless, and who can complain about another version of Fracture?!!

Special price! Albert King was one of the great electric bluesmen. This 1969 Stax album has him performing songs associated with early Elvis, most of which Elvis adapted from their original, blues roots anyway, so it's a good fit and King brings...

"In the early 1970s, B.B. King was basking in the glow of crossover success, with his brand of soulful blues reaching all audiences, not just African-American ones. In this 75-minute radio broadcast from October 1, 1972, his stinging guitar runs through a mix of old and new classics, from his mid-'50s R&B hit "Everyday I Have the Blues" to Leon Russell's "Hummingbird." Other highlights include the standard "Rock Me Baby" and his biggest hit, "The Thrill Is Gone." It's presented here in its entirety, with...

This is a new group by the drummer of The Bad Plus and it's quite a lineup: Erik Fratzke - guitar, Dave King - drums, Adam Linz - bass, Chris Speed - tenor saxophone. Very cool to see the under-valued Chris Speed land this high profile gig and the...

"This is a beautiful and remarkably assured debut album from UK modern folk-singer Ian King. Panic Grass & Fever Few mixes English traditional song with a very contemporary sound palate. Working with the acclaimed On-U sound crew Adrian Sherwood and...

"A vibrant trio of string quartets by this multi-talented guitarist/composer who has written music for Merce Cunningham, the New York City Ballet, Guy Klucevsek, Aki Takahashi, the Bang on a Can All Stars and has performed with Otomo Yoshihide, Butch M...

This is a sort of European supergroup consisting of Pierre Vervloesem (X-legged Sally, Flat Earth Society) on bass, guitars and sounds, Gil Mortio ( Attica, Bruno Vansina) on guitars. but the real star for my money is "formidable virtuoso Swedish...

“Norway’s Kings of the Valley plays music characterized by intense guitar riffs, melodic bass, pulsating drums and vocal harmonies. The band’s expression has strong common features with seventies rock, psychedelic rock, good old prog rock and stylish stoner rock. For fans of Motorpsycho, early King Crimson and Yawning Man.”

“Less than a year after the release of their debut album and with its follow-up, Kinda Kinks, a mere four months old, The Kinks embarked on their first European tour, taking the best of British rock to Paris on 7 July 1965. Delivering speaker-blasting versions of 'You Really Got Me' and 'All Day and All of the Night', they left the Olympia audience's ears ringing well into the following morning.
Eight years later, the group were an altogether different prospect when, in the spring of 1973, they...

Kinski's second full length recording, 2001's Be Gentle with the Warm Turtle, proved that the band was ready to take on the world. Upon its release, Alternative Press enthused the disc makes one of the few strong arguments against the claim that rock i...

RRK in excellent sound (and with Andrew Hill!) in his early prime!

“Rahsaan Roland Kirk, live from the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport Freebody Park, RI July 8th 1962. When the Newport Jazz Festival returned after succumbing to the previous year's riots of 1961, there was another important announcement to make: the "Discovery of the Year" would be on the bill - Rahsaan Roland Kirk! Together..

“Recorded live at the Village Gate in New York City on November 26-27, 1963 with pianists Horace Parlan, Melvin Rhyne, and Jane Getz, along with bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Sonny Brown. The music was originally recorded for a documentary film.
The tapes were in storage for the next 62 years until now. Restored and mastered from the original tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab. The deluxe CD edition includes an extensive booklet with rare photos and liner notes.”

What a treat; just over 40’ of early prime Kirk in excellent audio and video!

“On September 30, 1963, American saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Roland Kirk and his quartet gave a small session in the TV studios of Radio Bremen. The concert was broadcast on ARD in the spring of 1964 as part of the popular "Domino" series.
Now the original tapes have resurfaced in the station's archives. Sensational! The former sideman of Charles Mingus, Gil Evans and Quincy Jones had come to Germany not...

Disc 1: Tscechoslowakisches Jazz Festival, Prague, Czechoslovakia, October 19, 1967
Disc 2: Messuhalli, Helsinki, Finland, October 6 1964

“There are two concerts here, one full set in Prague and a shorter possibly incomplete one from Helsinki as a bonus disc. Both are from radio broadcasts and the quality is good for Prague, slightly more fuzzy for Helsinki. The Helsinki disc has Kirk's working group of the time and covers a pop song, standards, Ellington and Coltrane compositions plus his...

Accordion master Kirkpatrick is one of the greats of modern British music. I saw him in Richard Thompson's band and even though he was in the company of one of the OTHER greats of modern British music, he dazzled with inventive solo after inventive solo..

Possibly England's greatest accordionist, this is a completely solo album. No tricks, no studio work. Just a man and his various squeezeboxes.

"In 1988 John Kirkpatrick recorded this solo album. It is an amazing album with the predictable talent of performance. There is a lovely atmosphere and mood on this album.
There are some great song choices here. All the tracks are Traditional except for a piece from Sue Harris, and three from Sally Turner. All of course arranged by Kirkpatrick...

"Squeezebox maestro John Kirkpatrick is one of the giants of the British folk scene. Over the past three decades he has appeared on hundreds of recordings, yet, seldom has he had the opportunity to record a whole album of his original compositions. The...

"Originally released in 2005 by Fledg'ling, The Sultans Of Squeeze is a splendid collaboration between two of England's finest squeezebox maestros -- masters of all that needs squeezing. John Kirkpatrick, well known from his prolific solo work and from...

Long time Waysiders will remember us carrying (and selling!) a lot of these back when it was originally released on lp-only in 1986. It was a really good one then and it's still a really good one now.

Synthesist Bernd Kistenmacher seemingly came out of nowhere in 1986 with this album of Berlin- style electronic music that was basically the best thing that Klaus Schulze never made.

"It was Klaus Schulze's 1976 album Moondawn that altered the trajectory of Bernd Kistenmacher's life when he.

“Geometry of Distance is the sophomore album by Geometry. This recording follows their debut album, Geometry of Caves, released in 2018 from Relative Pitch Records. Seth Colter Walls of The New York Times called the quartet's first album a "vibrant new recording", Stereo Gum's Phil Freeman described it as "hardcore improvised music" and Dusted Magazine wrote, "The foursome behind the fifty-minutes.
