Avocado
As listeners to the experimental, improvised, Jazz, Ethiopian and style-free music communities in Sydney will testify, Peter Farrar has been doing astonishing solos the last few years. He’s been honing techniques that use various extensions on his alto sax, (mainly plastic bags and bottles as mutes). Instead of an instrumental line, he produces startling layers of distorted tones and overtones with pervasive, insistent, generative rhythms. This is pioneering research — he has re-imagined the ins…
A New Life (Private, Independent And Youth Jazz In Great Britain 1966-1990)
Thought you knew about British jazz? Think again. Diving into the unknown world of the private pressing, Jazzman Records presents some of the rarest and wildest British jazz ever recorded! The major stars of British jazz such as Stan Tracey, Michael Garrick, and Joe Harriott are now rightly recognized as the giants they were, and the legendary Brit jazz recordings of the 1960s are amongst the most highly-prized of all collectable records. But what happened to jazz in the UK when the recording in…
Visions Of Darkness (In Iranian Contemporary Music): Volume II
When the anthology "Visions Of Darkness (In Iranian Contemporary Music)" was released in 2017 (co-published in collaboration between Cold Spring and Unexplained Sounds Group), it was immediately clear that the Iranian music scene was not just promising, but already a rich chest of treasures. Years later, we have further confirmation of the creative excellence and variety of musical languages that flourished in the Persian land.
In spite of the title, this second volume of the legendary anthology…

Sem Etc
**3 CD's in hardboard linen box with 46 page booklet** 'SEM' documents the difficult, challenging and deeply personal early works of autodidactic electroacoustic music composer Joris De Laet (Belgium, 1947) created at his Studio for Electronic Music and IPEM between 1972-1979. All material has been mastered from the original tapes and is previously unreleased. Guided by a radical sense of adventure and hard to pin down, these ten pieces are possibly best defined in terms of their contrasts - aca…

Ouvrez Vos Auditifs Canaux
For their third effort, originally released by Azteco Records in 1985, T.A.C. had grown to a six headed band, featuring a very peculiar sound on the verge of haunting minimalist structures and contemporary classical, scattered with electronic incursions of polluted radio frequencies and background buzzes, which give the music an eerie, dismantled feeling. Their autonomous and unorthodox path interbreeds post-industrial with a kaleidoscope of other inputs making use of an instrument array that se…

Live
Koma Saxo, the explosive quintet led by Berlin-based Swedish bassist/producer Petter Eldh, returns on We Jazz Records with their new album, cut live at We Jazz Festival in Helsinki, December 2019. Whereas their lauded debut was a triumph of remapping the goal posts for an acoustic jazz combo for the 2020's, "LIVE" takes you right to the heart of the actual ensemble sound, with 5 musicians tearing the place down, no post production. From the fiery opening sequence kicking off with "Euro Koma", on…
Inner Space
**A new vinyl pressing of masterwork. Sourced from the original master tapes and sounding better than ever!** Inner Space is, simply put, one of the most legendary soundtrack recordings in the history of Australian music. Released in 1973, soundtracking a documentary series on underwater life by Ron & Valerie Taylor, it now stands proud as a key album of ‘underwater music’, one of the most rightly and righteously revered fields within soundtrack and library music circles.Endlessly inventive, gor…

Chicago Tenor Duets
Two legendary tenorists, coming together here in a record that's one of the most striking from both players at the time -- a real return to the spare space of some of Joe McPhee's earliest albums, and some of the sharper edges that Evan Parker wasn't always giving us in the 90s! The setting is as basic as the title, but the sound is amazing -- two giants, freely improvising in open space -- making some amazing textures and tones together, but really shifting in mood from track to track -- at a l…
