Free Love
merging from tragedy, Kaleidon's sole 1973 album "Free Love" has evolved from obscure Italian jazz-rock artifact to revered cult masterpiece. The project began as keyboardist Stefano Sabatini's poignant response to the 1972 car accident that claimed two members of his previous band Free Love - a catastrophe that could have ended his musical journey. Instead, Sabatini assembled a new quartet to create what would become one of progressive jazz-rock's most emotionally charged instrumental statement…
Ananda Shankar and his Music
Mr Bongo proudly presents an official reissue of an iconic, exploratory album by Indian maestro of the sitar, Ananda Shankar, aptly titled 'Ananda Shankar And His Music'. Released on His Master's Voice in 1976, the album is a sublime collage of sitar-funk, traditional Indian classical music and psychedelic grooves, from the Indian sitarist, composer and musician. Nephew to India’s legendary sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar, Ananda’s musical family and upbringing led to a deep respect and love of the …
The Magic City
According to many enthusiasts and scholars, this album is among Sun Ra's most definitive studio recordings. The Magic City contains just four tracks, with the title- theme taking up the whole of the A side at a little over 27 minutes. Then on the B side comes The Shadow World, followed by Abstract Eye and Abstract I, which are two variants of the same composition. These pieces are essentially ensemble improvisations recorded live.
Just Glittering/Idwal Fisher (Book)
Just Glittering and Idwal Fisher were two collaborative noise zines produced by Mark Wharton, featuring work by the genre’s finest exponents and fans. The first issues of Just Glittering appeared in the late 1990s, and the two zines went on to document a fertile decade of creative noise-making. Back then, you couldn’t walk past a pub in Leeds without hearing windows rattled by a passing Japanese noise artist or effects pedals looped into submission, whilst meat thermometers regularly disappeared…

1966
2025 stock This compilation documents part of an exciting, and somewhat neglected period in Australasian jazz. Recorded in Sydney (1966), we can hear Bernie McGann was already one of the great Australian jazz stylists.

Vol. 4 Jo Maka
Music-lovers of all lands, rejoice! Here you have the re-release of the fourth album of the Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra recorded with the Guinean saxophonist Jo Maka. The title says it all: Vol.4: Jo Maka. But before that, a bit of history: The Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra was created in 1971 by an "old hand" of French free jazz, François Tusques. "Free Jazz" was also the name of the recording made by the pianist and other like-minded Frenchmen (Michel Portal, François J…
Après la Marée Noire
If the jazz of François Tusques is “free”, his spirit is even more so: having recorded Free Jazz with other like-minded Frenchmen (Michel Portal, François Jeanneau, Bernard Vitet, Beb Guérin and Charles Saudrais), the pianist had covered a lot of ground, with Barney Wilen (Le Nouveau Jazz) or even solo (Piano Dazibao and Dazibao N°2), so as not to repeat himself…
In 1971 he founded the Inter Communal Free Dance Music Orchestra which, as the notes the this album stated, “is an interpretation of a…
