Greg Kelley
Graveside Doles
Limited Edition of 400, it comes with several inserts "Two of the most intense young 'free' dudes from different parts of the globe (Greg Kelley from Boston, Alex Neilson from Leeds) unite for this completely weird record, taking free music to a different level, recorded on top of each other via mail. This sounds like moving the heaviest metal closet on a little rubber boat from Brighton to the east coast of the United States, kicking off with a heavy free jazzy tune full of retarded trumpets s…

One End to the Other
Recorded during a recent trek to the Pacific Northwest, this session is very damaged by the post-tongue explosive devices packed by each of the quartet's members. Skittering along the most devious edge of improvisational madness, Greg Kelley, Greg Campbell, Bill Nace and Mr. Shoup bring four chunks of deep underground moisture into the air for the first time. Let us make to examine them. 'Morning' greets the listener beneath a raucous grackle filled tree, mounting to a commuters' rage. The…
Conversations
The duo of Greg Kelley and Jason Lescalleet premiered on Erstwhile Records in 2001 with the critically lauded Forlorn Green CD. Thirteen years later, Glistening Examples is proud to present their 2nd duo album, 'Conversations'.
Resolution
Olivia Block makes her label debut, paired with Greg Kelley in his first appearance on Erstwhile since "Forlorn Green", although the overall cast of the session seems more firmly located in her neck of the woods, which is to say very thick and richly layered, possessing a massiveness and spatial volume. She plays a bit of piano here and there (once unfurling a couple of strikingly Tilbury-esque arpeggios, elsewhere within the piano's string-bed) but it's her electronics that predominate, …
Religious Electronics
No Fun are keen to assert "This is not a jazz record." Yeah, no kidding. Noise maestro Greg Kelley puts his trumpet down and attends to his collection of analogue elecronics, belting out some sublime passages of unstable drones, echo chamber feedback derangement and rampant oscillator fuzz. This is pretty exceptional stuff, up there with the finest non-digital noise excursions currently out there, and one of the very best No Fun emissions in quite some time. Typically, despite Kelley being a pre…
New York Nuts & Boston Baked Beans
Violinist/vocalist C Spencer Yeh & unrivaled saxophone elder-titan Paul Flaherty team up without the assistance of acclaimed drummer Chris Corsano for the first time.Along for the jamz is bonkers Boston trumpeteer Greg Kelley. After performing numerous times and honing a distinct group dynamic as a trio over many years with celebrated percussionist Chris Corsano, Yeh and Flaherty decided to try it out one-on-one. The record comprises of the best from two live sets from a short duo tour in the No…
Forlorn green
The press release is disingenuous in describing "Forlorn Green" as "lo-fi": even if Jason Lescalleet's work involves tapeloops using cheap recording gear and "trashed" speakers, his digital reworking and mastering is painstakingly perfectionist and perfect. Recorded in four different locations in the Boston area (a church, a gallery, an art school and the local Twisted Village record store) and crafted in Lescalleet's studio with what can only be described as loving care, the sonic alchemy of …
