F reddie Hubbard – trumpet
Bennie Maupin – tenor saxophone
Kenny Barron – piano
Herbie Lewis – bass
Freddie Waits – drums

Very good sound for a previously unreleased 1967 performance.

“This is a never-before-released recording of jazz trumpet icon Freddie Hubbard captured live at the Blue Morocco jazz club in The Bronx, NY in 1967 featuring Bennie Maupin, Kenny Barron, Herbie Lewis and Freddie Waits.
Transferred from the original tape reels that were recorded by.

Kenny Dorham – trumpet
Sonny Red – alto saxophone
Cedar Walton – piano
Paul Chambers – bass
Denis Charles – drums

Kenny Dorham was a under-rated composer and trumpeter of the 40s through the 60s, whose last studio album was recorded in 1964, although he continued playing at least into the late 60s (he died in 1972).
This features the also under-rated and greatly under-recorded Sonny Red.
Excellent sound for previously unreleased 1967 recordings.

“This is a n

Previously unreleased live concert from quite late in Charles’ performing career in excellent sound and with a complete Cumbia and Jazz Fusion (one of his last great works) and even two piano improvisations.
“This is a never-before-released pair of recordings of legendary bassist Charles Mingus captured live in Buenos Aires, Argentina in June 1977 featuring Ricky Ford (tenor saxophone), Jack Walrath (trumpet), Robert Neloms (piano) and Dannie Richmond (drums). Transferred from the original tape...

“Paul Collins is one of the most enduring cult rockers of the late seventies and a founding member of the legendary Nerves (with Jack Lee and Peter Case).
He started his solo career in 1979 and has released more than 11 studio albums as Paul Collins, or as Paul Collins’ Beat. “Out of My Head” is a return to the pure, unadulterated sound he helped create in his youth. On this new album Paul not only sings, but plays all the drums and most of the guitars as well.
With the collaboration of Paul...

“Japanese progressive rock band Evraak returns two years after reissuing their debut album, with a new studio album. Entitled “Requiem For Lost Tides,” it contains six full-length tracks and a revamped lineup. An intro with choral vocals opens “Eclipse” and the album, then develops into a prog sound with prominent horns and elaborate textures with interweaving keyboards and guitar. The rhythm section is elaborate and solid, with continuous tempo changes to imrpeziosire the sound, which has references...

“Music Is A Message From Space is a bracing nine-track LP featuring new and archival recordings, all orbiting around the intergalactic soundscape introduced by Sun Ra.
Ra's own acapella track "I Don't Believe in Love," recorded by Ra at home in Chicago during the 1950s, kicks the program off. This intimate private recording is followed by two intense new solo improvisations by French guitarist Raymond "Moncho" Boni, one acoustic and one electric, inspired by seeing the Arkestra preparing for a gig...

Jaap Blonk's Ursonate, features the complete text-sound work by artist Kurt Schwitters. Blonk first recorded the canonical Dada poetry piece in 1986, released as an LP on BVHAAST, Willem Breuker's label. He has returned to the work multiple times over the ensuing decades, and this incredible new recording shows his deepening understanding of the pioneering work.
Blonk writes in the liner notes: "Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) wrote his Ursonate or Sonate in Urlauten ('Primordial Sonata' or 'Sonata...

“In the second half of the 20th century, no one wrote multi-horn polyphony better than Fort Worth-born multi-reedist Julius Hemphill (1938-1995). Just listen to the harmonized voices on, say, the title track from the World Saxophone Quartet's Revue, or "Otis' Groove" from the Julius Hemphill Sextet's Fat Man and the Hard Blues.
Hemphill arrived fully formed with 1972's Dogon A.D. (for..

“[This is] the first album by an incredible French duo called Fulguromatic. Deeply fascinating, creating unique spaces between the sounds of Canterbury, jazz-rock and incorporating a light, playful and somewhat mischievous touch from the planet Zeuhl that is tremendously...

This is the third album by the long ago composer and bassist for Egg and National Health, Mont Campbell. Since that time, he’s mastered a number of ethnic instruments and studied music from all over the world. Does it sound like National Health? No. Can you draw the line from the man who composed those amazing pieces for National Health to this? I think you can.

“As a teenager in the late 1960s I wrote for the rock group Egg, one of the bands now described as 'prog' by students of the era. In.

"Datura4’s follow-up to 2015’s Demon Blues debut clearly shows, has a firm grasp on garage psych and progressive blues rock." – CLASSIC ROCK

"Builds in true '70s psych-rock form, swirling from guitar-led turmoil to shoegaze clearings of reflection." – ROLLING STONE AU

"Datura4 has learned the first lesson of blues rock, if you’ve got a killer guitar tone, you’ve already taken the high ground." – GLACIALLY MUSICAL

“Building upon the ‘guitars to infinity’ approach of Datura4’s...

"Weird and wonderful blues and punk collision. Dirty, grimy and more than just a little twisted The Bloody Hollies sit somewhere between guttural 60s garage punk violence and soulful swampy blues, their explosive sound honed over a decade of musical progression. The likes of 'Dirty Sex,' 'Dress To Kill' and 'Leave That Woman Alone' finds vocalist/guitarist Wesley Doyle teetering on the edge of mania, his bruised and feral howl perfectly complementing the raucous stabs of slide guitar and swirling...

“With 'INSIDE OUT YOUR MIND' The Loons have created their most compelling and original album to date. Once described as "a perfect pairing of Love-influenced garage-psych and British underground in the mould of The Pretty Things", The Loons are Mike Stax of Ugly Things Magazine, Anja Stax on bass, Marc Schroeder and Chris Marsteller on guitar, and Mike Kamoo on drums and production.”

“Third album by critically acclaimed San Diego garage rockers featuring all new material in the band's distinctively original style, which combines the hard, kinetic drive of European freakbeat, the melodic cool of the '66 Sunset Strip, and intense, atmospheric psychedelia.”

"Red Dissolving Rays of Light was most definitely worth the wait. Eleven new tracks are to be found here, not a one of which is filler. The guitars of Chris Marsteller and Marc Schroeder drive the band while vocalist...

“A collection of songs from their first albums for Alive, hand picked by original drummer Brenn "Sausage Paw" Beck (now replaced by Pete Dio), lovingly remastered + features six PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED songs), including an awesome cover of Hoyt Axton’s classic 'The Pusher.'
Trashed-out punk/blues duo Left Lane Cruiser has been making records for over a decade, and along with their music being featured in many hit television series such as Banshee, Breaking Bad, and Nashville, they have been receiving...

“…When youth produces a work of such force, when the raw or supposedly naïve artist comes up with something universal, critics and fans rejoice. We want to latch on to a beautiful thing before its green genius withers under the glare of success. Such is the case with Two Gallants' debut The Throes. The San Francisco duo responsible for this gut-wrenching musical tragedy both just turned 21, yet somehow their musical hindsight extends far beyond recent memory and taps into a rusty vein swollen with grief...

“A remarkable record that feels like some great unearthed gem — a bastard lovechild of 60's soul and Nuggets proto-punk. Turpentine Brothers is the brainchild of guitarist Justin Hubbard of the Kings of Nuthin' and drummer Tara McManus of Mr. Airplane Man. Integral to their current sound is the swirling, wild organ work of Zack Brines. While ably filling out the band's low end with a foreboding drone he manages to contribute striking, song-stealing solos that push Turpentine Brothers to another level...

"To play boogie so hard it sounds like hardcore you have to be some bold, badass, bombastic, boredom breaking boog-ers! They get a top rating from the BBBB (The Better Boogie Bluesrock Bureau).”-Roctober

“Mount Carmel’s third album "Get Pure" is full of swagger, packed with great songs and inspired performances. Described as "thee only non-bullsh*t hard rock band in goddamn America," Mount Carmel was formed in 2010 by brothers Matthew Reed (vocals/guitar) and Patrick Reed (bass), with James...

This is a vinyl-only release.

“Soften The Glare featuring bassist Ryan Martinie (Mudvayne), guitarist Bon Lozaga (Gong, Gongzilla) and drummer Mitch Hull (Whiplash) have released two full length CDs and three EPs since their inception in 2016.

In 1973, the legendary Missouri folk-psych band Phantasia changed both its name and musical direction. With an expanded line-up, Trizo 50 careened madly between power pop, glam, psychedelia, proto-metal, pre-punk, hard rock, soft rock and garage. (Hah — yes, there certainly are a lot of different..

“WIZRD is a boundary-pushing Norwegian rock band that effortlessly blends genres, from rock and indie to jazz and prog. While they know the rules, they take pride in breaking them. On their highly anticipated second album, Elements, WIZRD dives deeper into uncharted musical waters—experimenting with new styles, fresh melodic paths, and both extended and condensed song structures, all while introducing Norwegian lyrics. Though the album is eclectic, it remains unmistakably WIZRD, unified by a distinct...

This is to Asturias what the great acoustic version of Orme [Florian! Piccola Rapsodia dell’Ape!] was to Orme. Very nice stuff.

“In 1987, the progressive block unit "Asturius" started by composer Great Thanday as a place to pursue his music. It has been recognized as one of the leading progressive block units of Japan in Japan and abroad. "Acousti

"ZZ Top's First Album may not be perfectly polished, but it does establish their sound, attitude, and quirks. Simply put, it's a dirty little blues-rock record, filled with fuzzy guitars, barrelhouse rhythms, dirty jokes, and Texan slang." - All Music

“Two decades have passed since SONS OF RA emerged onto Chicago's scene with their fusion of heavy prog, jazz, math rock, and elements of avant-garde. Initially a line-blurring experiment based on improvised music, the trio has proven that the itchings of jazz fusion aficionados and math/progressive rock/metal purists can both enjoy the same musical relief.
The band independently released four EPs since 2016, culminating with the critically acclaimed six-part suite Tropic of Cancer in 2024.

Note: This is a vinyl-only release.

This is a fun, [retro] keyboards and drums duo. Think Hansson & Carlsson in their wildest moments, Atomic Rooster, and Keith and Carl in 1970 jamming whenever Greg went to buy cookies.

“…powerful organ-led progressive rock, not dissimilar to the legendary Atomic Rooster in full flight…” – Prog..

This 1979 release was the first release by Gilli Smythe’s long-running solo project.

“The SMS Orchestra is a chamber orchestra project founded in 2012 by the artistic director Stefano Giannotti. The album contains fifteen songs recovered from the forgotten drawers of artists such as Robert Wyatt, Lucio Battisti, Franco Battiato, David Bowie, Lou Reed, David Sylvian and many others, played orchestrally not to propose simple covers but reinterpreting and revitalizing them, making them somehow their own and "personal". The arrangements of the songs are refined and often even phantasmal...

“On its third album, the quartet confirms itself as an excellent jazz rock band.” – Classic Rock

This is the third release (first I ever heard of them) by a very excellent Italian / European based jazz rock group based around guitars, keyboards, bass and drums.
This isn’t a record that jumps out of the sleeve and beats you into submission by a lavish display of chops. Instead it presents some nice moods and slowly builds as it ebbs and flows.
“The UJIG project was born in 2014, during...

Over 2 years dedicated to writing, arrangements and orchestrations of 13 new compositions.

“The reunion of PainKiller, the world’s most extreme sax-bass-drums trio, was one of the great musical events of 2024. For the third installment of their new trilogy of albums, Zorn, Harris, and Laswell take a more moody direction, creating two long tracks combining heavy metal intensity with ambient textures and a brooding lyricism.
