“It was an extraordinary experience to have shared my music with Enzo Randisi’s orchestra, a rare ensemble capable of interpreting and expressing the idiom of jazz with uncommon strength and sensitivity” - Eumir Deodato
Near And Far East
*2025 repress* Made with the intention of exploring and experiencing the various musical and cultural perspectives of a territory as vast as that of Persia, "Near And Far East" is a significant historical document that transcends the restrictive concept of territory but rather inhabits a space of absolute time. The album's content is not just window into faraway places, but a leap into the times and cultures that have now been swallowed up by the incessant movement of globalization and capitalis…
Did You Tell Your Mother
*2025 repress* Mbambisa first gained prominence as a pianist in 1961 as a member of the Jazz Giants, this time with Pukwana as saxophonist, bassist Martin Mgijima and drummer Makaya Mtoshoko, setting the sound and shape of a scene that became known as Cape Jazz. Following an introduction from Chris McGregor, Mbambisa formed a band, The Swinging City Six, with saxophonist Ronnie Beer before going on to play at the end of the 1960s in the groups The Soul Jazzmen and Spirits Rejoice with Duku Makas…

Steve Kuhn
**50th Anniversary Edition. 2025 repress.** The album features the group playing Gary McFarland arrangements of Kuhn's compositions, accompanied by a string section on several tracks, with Kuhn delivering stream of consciousness lyrics in an unplanned and largely improvised fashion in the studio. However, that wasn't the only surprising aspect to the session. Airto Moreira's appearance was more by chance than design, he having just popped by the studio, again, unplanned. The 'Steve Kuhn' album i…

While deliberating their next steps they were approached by Here & Now…
Early Works Vol. 2: Music From The Archives
*2025 stock* 2020 was a time of fear as Covid blew through the world, shutting countries down and isolating friends and family alike. In a space of a few short months the world seemed a scarier and smaller place as many experienced isolation and a diffuse uncertainty for the first time. For those lucky enough not to be touched by tragedy during the pandemic, or having to battle the illness personally, the lockdown certainly created a space and time to crack open a book, get square eyed over a bo…
The Music of Anthony Braxton
Steve Lehman – whom The New York Times has hailed as a “virtuoso alto saxophonist” and a “state-of-the-art musical thinker” – returns with a highly-anticipated new release with his long-running trio featuring bassist Matt Brewerand drummer Damion Reid, joined by special guest tenor saxophonist Mark Turner, one of the most influential jazz musicians of the past 30 years.

In Search Of The Lost City Of The Monkey God
*2025 stock* The Sorcerers began working on the new album during the winter of 2018 and it was during the writing sessions for this album that the concept for the LP began to take shape. The name for the album was taken from the title of a National Geographic article read by Bassist Neil Innes and was used as the starting point for the entire concept. The library music scene of the 60s and 70s has always been an intrinsic part of the sound of ATA Records and so it made perfect sense to envisage …
The Space In Which The Uncontrollable Unknown Resides, Can Be The Place From Which Creation Arises
2025 Stock. A true exploration in spiritual jazz that follows A transcendental journey that takes in meditative musical mantras, sprawling tenor sax improvisation and mesmeric percussion, the new album by Work Money Death (the group that backed ATA artist Tony Burkill on his 2017 debut record of the same name) seeks to reinterpret the sound of artists such as Pharoah Sanders & Alice Coltrane over two tracks: the brooding tension of A-Side “Dusk” and the sanguine & uplifting “Dawn” on the B-Side.…

Frequency Equilibrium Koan
Tip! "Frequency • the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light). Equilibrium • a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced: a calm state of mind. Koan • a paradoxical anecdote or riddle, used in Zen Buddhism to demonstrate the inadequacy of logical reasoning and to provoke enlightenment. Many, many, years ago in a once enchanted place they called The Big Apple, N…
