''A veteran of NY's downtown scene, founding member of the infamous Lounge Lizards and a gifted composer, arranger and pianist, Evan Lurie has been the composer of choice for dozens of directors over the past ten years. For his first Tzadik release he ...

“Tresor de la Langue has to be one of one of the truly great projects of the last half-century and is (therefore) a very hard act to follow. But on this quietly revolutionary record Rene has found his way to a music that can fairly be described as new; new enough to make it hard to explain, even though it’s easy enough to listen to. For the majority of the pieces here Rene has dispensed with obvious overall form and traditional compositional logic and replaced them with patterns of events; there’s no ABC...

Rene Lussier – guitar, daxophone
Erick d’Orion – computer, electronics
Robbie Kuster – drums
Martin Tétrault – turntable, electronics

“Lussier, Orion, Kuster and Tétreault created an hour of thunderous atmospheres, heterogeneous collages and heavy sound masses. The liberated, energetic and unpretentious improvised music like that, we would take it even more often.”

“The performance of the quartet was the high point of the Festival.” – All About Jazz

''Rene on guitars (with & without electricity) & Ttrault on turntables (with & without lps). This duet is devastating & lyrical.''

"2 guitars, 3 turntables, one spy-microphone, and 201 spectators." Recorded live at Victoriaville, 5/19/08.

This release is drawn from 3 separate recordings the trio made in the 80's. The disc is a combination of compositions & improvisations. Guitars, reeds, keyboards, electronics, bass & drums. Cellist Tom Cora guests on about 1/3rd. [ReR]

“Jeff Lynne's ELO, whose music has touched fans deeply across three generations now, has found himself in recent years at the peak of his powers as a songwriter, musician and producer. This collection features a buoyant title song which opens the 10-track record including the wistful "Help Yourself" to the celebratory "Down Came the Rain" to the churning rocker "One More Time" to the sweet closer, "Songbird."
As does it's predecessor, 2015's Alone in the Universe, From Out Of Nowhere shows Lynne...

This album is very much a record of the musical experimentation that was going on in the NYC improvising/new music scene in the late 70's-mid 80's. This is two albums on one CD. The first album is George (Curlew) Cartwright-saxes & flute, Michael (Doct...

Paul Lytton, percussion / Nate Wooley, trumpet and amplifier + Ikue Mori (computer on tracks 2 and 3 disc 1) and Ken Vandermark (bass clarinet, clarinet, tenor saxophone and baritone saxophone on 3, 4 and 5 disc 2).

The first album by Lifetime, the very early rock/jazz supergroup of Tony Williams-drums, vocals, John McLaughlin-guitar and Larry Young-Hammond organ.
It never was a good sounding album, but they've remastered it as best they could and this includes the entire 2 lp set on 1 CD. Not all of it is good, but the good stuff is mindblowing for 1969.
