I'm Just Say'n
Absolute K.O. bout of free jazz poetry by a spry, 85 year old Joe McPhee, adapting his renowned improvised practice to words - juxtaposed with Mats Gustafson’s sparing brass and electric gestures. It’s an utterly timeless and transfixing salvo, another shiny notch for Smalltown Supersound’s brilliant Le Jazz Non Series.
You & The Night & The Music
*2025 stock* Debut album from the Judy Bailey Trio, recorded 1962. The theme is the night and the trio give you new and exciting arrangements of 'night' tunes like 'Night And Day', 'In The Still Of The Night' and 'Night In Tunesia'. Possibly the swingin’est jazz album ever to come from Australia.Pianist Judy Bailey was active on the Sydney studio scene in the early '60s, and was the choice rhythm section of Australian bandleaders. It was as a composer that her reputation began to grow in the fol…
Tricrotism
*2025 stock* It's a fact that Bjarne Rostvold has won relatively little recognition to this day -in contrast to some of his Danish fellow jazz musicians. Quite unjustly, as we think. For many years Rostvold played with the Danish Radio Big Band before forming the Bjarne Rostvold Trio (Bent Axen: piano and Erik Moseholm: bass) and the Bjarne Rostvold Quartett, which included the trio's musicians plus trumpeter Allan Botschinsky. Both groups represent brilliant Danish jazz from the '60s. That's wh…
Sittin' In
The hard-swinging Three Out were attracting large and enthusiastic crowds in Sydney and shared the bill with such names as Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, Teddy Wilson and Sarah Vaughan. Here we find them continuing in the same exciting manner as their first album, 'Move'. The Three Out are joined by four horns on the second half of this album from 1960. The session has the flavour of the hard jazz of the American Masters of the sixties, particularly the "Big Soul Band" type from Chicago and N…
Move
*2025 stock* Jazz in Australia at its best with incredible sessions by The Three Out from autumn 1960 – three masters with unbelievable musical control and understanding. This album was recorded at the El Rocco club six weeks after the group was formed, and the boys claim they were only just becoming accustomed to one another’s playing. In all, they cut thirty different titles in two 3-hour sessions, all of which were one take only. This in itself is incredible as the resulting takes never fall …
Café des Pyrénnées
*2025 stock* Beautiful work from Joe Haider – a lesser-known pianist on these shores, but an important force in the German scene – best remembered for some wonderful music on the Ego Records label! This set captures Joe in a very similar setting – working on both acoustic piano and Fender Rhodes – in a trio with Allen Blairman on drums, and the mighty Isla Eckinger on bass. If you don't know Eckinger, you're really in for a treat – as he's a tremendous talent who has this way of shaping notes an…
Onilu
Onilu is an all-percussionist trio utilizing the extensive family of drummed and tuned percussion instruments to deliver beautifully composed, arranged and executed small ensemble music. Nothing about this all-percussion band feels rarified, or missing anything musical. To the contrary, Onilu create a soundworld where nothing is missing, and everything is musical -- defying the stereotype of modern percussion ensembles as esoteric or academic pursuits, reaffirming the powerful social and sacred …
Live Cuts 1981-1983
Following the recent archival release of Primitive Art Group’s studio albums “1981-1986”, we are pleased to announce the release of this 65-minute album of live PAG performances recorded between 1981 and 1983. These recordings document the beginnings of the PAG in all its raw beauty and chronicle its development into a unique improvising unit. Made from original cassettes tapes, this fills a missing part in the story of free music and in the story of underground music from New Zealand. “Live Cut…
Houseplant
Jim Black may be one of the most respected avant jazz drummers on the planet, but when leading his AlasNoAxis quartet, jazz often seems to be the farthest thing from his mind. Perhaps one need only consider the title of the fifth AlasNoAxis CD, 2009’s Houseplant, to realize there’s probably not a lot of jazz here; the title itself doesn’t exactly suggest swinging exuberance or, given the history of Black’s “jazz” output, even crisp and incisive grooves. After all, when contemplating the nearest …
Sightings and Stratifications – 2nd Investigation for Trio
"This CD is a documentation of a concert which was recorded on July 21st, as one of three concerts. The reproduction of the concert is one-to-one, without cuts.

In recent years, he has discovered and developed a partly unexplored cosmos with his extended electronic techniques and sound…

Across 2LPs of side-length long-form improvised sets recorded at 2220 Arts & Archives in LA and The Chapel in San Francisco, The Ancients bring the free jazz trio languages first explored by t…
NDR Jazz Workshop No. 25
National and international jazz musicians were invited to the NDR for the Jazz Workshop series. A number of ten to twenty musicians could rehearse for some days and finally present their results to the North German listeners in a live studio concert. The organizer focused on offering some space for experimenting to different musicians who otherwise would never have played together, and to free them from their daily commercial pressures within that period of time. Even though all predominant jazz…
At Studio 2
American vibraphonist Dave Pike was one of the most popular musicians on the German jazz scene in the late 60s and early 70s. The Dave Pike Set attracted attention with their very individual sound, ranging between jazz, rock, free and folk, and they were one of the pioneers of independent European fusion music. Together with his three German sidemen - among them guitarist Volker Kriegel -Pike recorded four studio albums and performed at numerous festivals, e.g. at the Berlin Jazz Festival in 196…
The Jazz Sextet - April 12, 1957 NDR Studio | Hamburg
Hans Gertberg, since 1952 jazz editor and as such as responsible for ''Jazz at the NDR'', had invited an ensemble to Hamburg that was on a European tour and in at least one way promised to shine a little light on the preferences of the trombonist Mangelsdorff. At that time he was already shaping the West German scene considerably. ''The Jazz Sextet'' was the name of the illustrious tour ensemble which also showed up at the Hamburg studio. It followed the current developments up to sacrificing th…

Ballet Etudes
*CD Version* Recorded at the 1962 Jazz Jamboree festival in Warsaw and originally released in 1963 on Danish Metronome label, here's a true gem from one of the most important figures in Polish music and a founding father of European Jazz. "Ballet Etudes" was one of the three full LPs released during Komeda' short lifetime. His fluent modern jazz conception was a perfect synthesis between the American influence and the European harmonic complexity, a unique kind of marriage colored by a clear Sla…
12 Duets (DCWM) 2012
*2025 stock* 'Several years ago, Anthony and I discovered our mutual (giddy) enthusiasm for the music of Richard Wagner. I feel compelled to mention this because there is a positively orchestral, if not Wagnerian, element to our recording together—a sonic Gesamtkunstwerk, if you will, representing all registers of playing. In each take, new drama unfolds, as if each were a new act in an operatic continuum. Yet the most amazing thing about the process of recording with Anthony was the vast spectr…
