Afrodisiaca
* Edition of 300 copies. High thickness cardboard with opaque laminated cover. Comes with a printed insert * So… Steinmetz. Hugh Steinmetz. A Danish trumpet player my mentor Peter Brötzmann always talked highly about. 'Aaaaah jaaaaa - those crazy Danes!' Steinmetz was one of very few Scandinavian musicians who actually travelled south and collaborated with European musicians in the late 60s. He is a legend. And a key to understand the early developments of free jazz. The possibilities given to S…

The Skipper
On The Skipper, Henry Franklin steps out from the sideman shadows to helm one of Black Jazz Records’ most beloved releases, a deep, earthy fusion of spiritual jazz and funk‑tipped groove. His bass becomes both rudder and engine, steering long, flowing tunes that move with unhurried authority and luminous ensemble interplay.
BBC Jazz Club Session April 1965
On BBC Jazz Club Session April 1965, Don Rendell and Ian Carr capture a historic broadcast moment where British modern jazz finds its new voice. The debut of pianist Michael Garrick within the quintet injects modal colour and compositional bite into a set that pushes club‑band swing toward something more questing and contemporary.
La Rana
On La Rana, Agustín Pereyra Lucena turns his deep love of Brazilian music into a crystalline, Latin‑jazz chamber album recorded far from home, in Oslo. Quartet interplay, bossa nova contours and long-form mood pieces melt South American warmth into Nordic air, anchored by his luminous guitar and quietly intense vocals.
Sound Sun Pleasure
Sound Sun Pleasure was recorded in Chicago at the same March 1959 sessions that produced the instrumental album Jazz In Silhouette, and features near-identical personnel. However, the recordings sat on the shelf for over ten years, finally achieving release in 1970. Whereas Silhouette was comprised of Sun Ra originals, Sound Sun Pleasure explores two works Sunny co-composed with trumpeter Hobart Dotson and four standards, two of which ("'Round Midnight" and "Back In Your Own Backyard") are sung …
Live at Ritual Botanica
"Messrs. Corsano and Dorji are both familiar names in the Feeding Tube discography. Chris has played drums on eight FTR LPs (and recorded two other), and Tashi has played guitar on six (details upon request if you are lazy.) But this is the first time they have appeared on vinyl as a duo, and we are damn proud to have them. Over the past years Chris has recorded with a lot of the era's best guitarists -- Bill Nace, Ben Chasny, Thurston Moore, Nels Cline, David Vanzan, Bill Orcutt, Rick Bishop, G…
Barker Final
On Barker Final, Ivan The Tolerable closes the door on 1a Barker Road with a set of songs conceived, performed and mastered entirely by Oli Heffernan. The album feels like a final dispatch from a long‑running home studio, where restless experiments in tone and texture are distilled into a focused, late‑night farewell.
Izipho Zam
"Strata-East present a reissue of Pharoah Sanders's Izipho Zam (My Gifts), originally released in 1973. "Popular and increasingly in demand, Izipho Zam (My Gifts) falls into the 'rare' category among record collectors and is a gift to fans of master Pharoah Sanders. This demand is partially galvanized by the fact that 'Prince Of Peace' has become an inspirational mine to hip hop artists and is much loved by samplers.
Izipho Zam is Pharoah Sander's third album, initially recorded in January 1969,…

Reloved (The Afro Club Mixes)
The Reloved series – Four Flies Records’ ongoing project where today’s producers reimagine select gems from the golden age of Italian library music and soundtracks – welcomes a new chapter from the formidable pairing of Nicola Conte and Nico Lahs. The tracks reworked in this vinyl EP all originate from the first half of the 1970s, a period when a fascination with African imagery and sounds was so pervasive among Italian composers that it became a prominent cultural and aesthetic trend. Applying …
Intermittent Burial Grounds Of Retention / Bacterial Insight
At long last...the return of Oldest, the NYC duo of Mick Barr & Brooks Headley, in the form of a split 12" with one of their greatest inspirations, the legendary Bastard Noise.
Oldest manage to combine the avant metal execution that Barr has pioneered in projects like Krallice, Orthrelm, Crom-Tech, and Ocrilim, to name but a few, with the contrarian hardcore approach of Headley's past bands, which include Born Against, Universal Order of Armageddon, Skull Kontrol, and Wrangler Brutes.
Bastard No…
Brisk
The idea for this album began taking shape in 2021 and has slowly evolved into a seven-track snapshot of Juli Deák’s musical world and artistic thinking. Coming from the challenging, refined, and often seemingly flawless sound of classical music, the flutist began redirecting her musical voice toward a much more personal space through experimentation and improvisation. What eventually grew into this project originally began as a handful of unfinished ideas—which only revealed their true meaning …
Powerhouse
A bold new spotlight shines on the classic 1971 release Powerhouse by celebrated organist Chester Thompson—an album that captures the pulse of its time with fire, finesse, and unmistakable soul. Released in 1971, Powerhouse remains a standout work in Thompson’s discography, drawing listeners into a world where groove, grit, and melodic imagination collide.
From the first notes, Powerhouse delivers an electrifying blend of organ-driven energy and captivating musical momentum. Thompson’s masterful…
Fuzzy Logic
German guitarist Olaf Rupp combines elements of traditional flamenco (rasgueados, arpeggios, picados) with the fractured cadences of Derek Bailey, fusing them together with a blast-furnace tone recalling John Lee Hooker's most blown-out extremes. And yet, despite decades of concerts and releases on FMP and Emanem, often with marquee-grabbing collaborators like John Zorn, Peter Brötzmann, Butch Morris, Paul Lovens and Lol Coxhill, Rupp's music is largely unknown outside of European free improvisa…

"World Of Echo is proud to announce the release of Fully Nowhere: a World Resources archive, compiling material drawn from limited lathe 7” singles and LPs released by the Aotearoa/New Zealand label, World Resources, predominantly across the 1990s. Supplemented by previously unreleased archival recordings, and material drawn from recent sessions, it’s a revelatory listen, a judicious selection of drone, noise pop, fractured electronics and laminal improvisation from the small community of musici…

Two Balls Are Enough
The debut album from the duo of Finnish accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen and Swedish reedist Mats Gustafsson - both musicians have routinely blown past the rules of the traditions from which first emerged—folk and free jazz, respectively—to explore constantly expanding worlds. It was only a matter of time before these iconoclasts collided to create something wonderfully raw and unexpected.
Time is no line but a wound that curves
Huck Hodge, an American composer and multi-talented artist, writes, as the New York Times puts it, “harmonically fresh works […] full of splendour and thunder”. Both intellectually and immediately poetic, his music explores the many invisible connections between the most diverse artistic and philosophical traditions of East and West. His passion for learning both ancient and modern languages, his own poetic output and his original choice of texts are reflected in the interplay of colour, light a…
