Cioè...
**Original 1978 vinyl edition of the album. Few copies available** A beautiful illustration of the strength of cellist and double-bassist Paolo Damiani as a leader – that way he has of firmly directing a quartet from the place of the bass, yet always in a subtle way that never overpowers the rest of the group! The balance here is wonderful – as Strutture Di Supporto's sound drives free improvisation to great dramatic effect, and soulfully set the tune from the start – yet the lead lines are ofte…

Music On Canvas
While still unknown to many today, Enzo Minuti (1927-2000), aka Ezy Minus, left his unique mark on the kaleidoscopic world of Italian library music. One of the most versatile, skilled and authentic figures in the Bolognese music scene of the mid- to late 20th century, Minuti was a multi-instrumentalist, composer, music producer and recording studio manager, as well as a painter, etcher and graphic artist. He devoted his life to music (especially jazz, a genre that has enjoyed a long tradition in…

Zerfas
*Back in print with hype sticker ! In process of stocking* This is probably one of the US private press scene's greatest treasures. The sole album published by this American five-piece was released in 1973 in a ridiculously small run and soon was elected as a contemporary cult. The band from Indianapolis consisted of brothers David Zerfas and Herman Zerfas, and was originally formed in 1969. While they released just a single self-titled album, they continued to play gigs until 1983. All the mat…
QorusQoros
QorusQoros is "outernational" free jazz madness from Lisbon trio Alförjs. It could as well be an ethnographic soundtrack from another planet as the trio of Mestre André (saxophone, electronics), Bernardo Álvares (contrabass), and Raphael Soares (drums) delve deep into the outer realms of what jazz/electronic music can sound like. Urban shamanism, magical practices, and ancient/future world views collide in unsuspecting ways on this out-there tape. A unique sound from a unique trio, Alförjs have …
UBEK
Dystopian soundscapes weaving through insinuated actuality. A collection of paranoid realities, implied certainty through testimonies given freely, observed by ever watchful eyes, detected by attentive ears and committed to record. It was at this moment he realised that he was actually living two parallel lives, he was living in both worlds simultaneously. The memory of the other had come back to him in that moment. On leaving the bathroom he was now on an alternative track. An alternative reali…

Fluttered Thinking
“I first met Jerry Blue when he left Oregon for northern California’s East Bay 25 years ago. He’s recorded and performed in numerous collaborations and iterations over the years, including guitar contributions for my Porest project. Naturally, in the USA, one must resort to unthinkable crimes in order to carve the time and space required to create art or music. Among other crimes, Jerry makes loads and loads of home-studio recordings. At age 42, he had a pacemaker installed and finally decided t…
