The Face of Percussion
Solo percussion album recorded in August 1980 by Masahiko Togashi, alone with drums, gongs, bells and hand percussion on a kit of his own design, reissued on LP with obi and liner notes in the Spin This Now! series.
Bloodletting
Wendy Eisenberg performs her own long-form text score, memorised and played from memory: one disc of solo guitar and one of solo banjo, recorded at Firehouse 12 in New Haven in March 2019.
This Darkness
Solo record by drummer and percussionist Scott Clark, also on harmonica, recorded live in Richmond, Virginia, in May 2019 and named after Rilke's poem Let This Darkness Be a Bell Tower.
échos la nuit
Michaël Attias' first solo album, recorded in one session with no overdubs: alto saxophone played with the left hand and piano with the right, the saxophone setting the piano strings into sympathetic resonance.
Bauke Meersman
On his self‑titled debut, Bauke Meersman steps into focus with an intimate, detail‑oriented statement: a set of pieces shaped as much by touch, space and recording perspective as by melody, quietly framed by DHM Records’ tactile artwork and production care.
18 Monologues Elastiques
*2026 stock* Recorded in January/February 2013 by Martin Ruch at Funkhaus Nalepastrasse, Berlin, Germany with two Schoeps mk4 microphones on a boom, in ORTF or XY con guration, and Sound Devices – 702T or Zoom H4N recorder
Raw Dog
One of the leading lights of contemporary creative saxophone music, Jon Irabagon (b. 1978) hails from Chicago, made his name in New York, and has returned to the Windy City with decisive ferocity, joining the city's bustling scene as an active participant and bandleader. Known for many of his groups, including Mostly Other People Do The Killing and PlainsPeak, as well as membership in ensembles led by Mary Halvorson, Dave Douglas, and Barry Altschul, Irabagon is a ceaselessly inventive horn play…
Convergence
With Convergence, his second solo album, Swedish-born bassist Björn Meyer further develops music on the blueprint established with his recording Provenance (2017), making use of the technical potential of the bass guitar to establish striking sonorities and grained textures while also being acutely aware of the acoustic space in which his sounds emerge. In its review of Björn’s previous solo statement, London Jazz News found the bassist demonstrating “that melodic high-jinks and emotional intens…
Solo (I)
Brooklyn-based pianist and composer Eva Novoa presents Eva Novoa Solo (I), her first solo piano recording and seventh album with 577 Records. Recorded at the legendary Sear Sound Studios in Manhattan, the album captures Novoa alone in the studio, embracing the artistic challenge of vulnerability, introspection, and creative freedom that defines the solo piano format. After several years working primarily within piano trio settings and other ensemble configurations, Novoa turned inward, embarking…
Taking Place
Asked to create a solo album, Adia started looking for a creative way to re-invent her solo saxophone music. Her new improvisations are inventive pieces which take advantage of the full range of her instrument and different playing techniques, but also the sounds of her surroundings in the unusual locations where she recorded – the echo of a silo, the clucking of a chicken coop, or passing cars. These sounds inspired the music, creating a dialogue with the environment.
The Köln Concert
The Köln Concert (50th Anniversary Edition) by Keith Jarrett celebrates one of the most legendary solo piano performances in jazz history. The 2025 special release includes remastered audio on double LP, newly curated liner notes, archival and contemporary photos, and exclusive bonus materials. Marking half a century since its epochal live recording in Cologne, the edition underscores the enduring impact and emotional allure of Jarrett’s improvisatory genius.
We Raise Them To Lift Their Heads
Longtime collaborators Mark Turner and Jakob Bro play central roles in the feature-length documentary film “Music for Black Pigeons”, which premiered at the 79th Venice Biennale, played across film festivals worldwide and portrays the unique artistic processes of Paul Motian, Lee Konitz, Bill Frisell, Craig Taborn, Andrew Cyrille, Manfred Eicher and many others. Mark Turner is heard on three albums with Jakob Bro, all from Avatar Studios in New York, and enters the film in a session from Copenha…
Remember Still
“Looking back I remember still” is a graffito I saw on an electrical box near my house and as I prepared for this recording I reflected on my time living in New York and my involvement in the improvised music scene there. My decision to include the standard tune Just Friends is part of looking forward with the hope of highlighting the connections between the practice of free improvisation and the creative tradition of “Great Black Music” sometimes called jazz.
Branches (Live at Cafe OTO)
Tip on sleeves with matte varnish finish. Branches captures the electrifying first meeting of two uncompromising improvisers: Evan Parker, the legendary UK saxophonist and pioneer of multiphonic, trance-state improvisation, and Bill Nace, the American experimentalist known for his radical guitar and taishōgoto explorations. Recorded live at London’s Café OTO on May 25, 2024, this set documents the instant chemistry between two artists who had never played-or even met-before that night.
Nace, clo…
In Between

Breakdown Lane: Free Solos & Duos 1976-1998
"Duck Baker should be a national treasure. He should be an international treasure. Should be? In my book he already is. I first came across his work in the 1970s on early Kicking Mule LPs in my local library in the UK, which was his temporary base then, and is his permanent home now. Many years later I was astounded by Spinning Song, his CD of Herbie Nichols compositions. Around the same time, I made contact with him by way of thanks following a review he wrote of my work on Stuff Smith and, lat…

Solo
*2024 stock* Cecil Taylor's masterwork is captured on this Japanese CD (reissue of the eponymous album released on LP in 1973) that dates back to his zenith of performance, when he was pushing the envelope of improvisational music to unprecedented heights of intensity and precision. While Taylor's work in the 1960s was impressive, his performance in the 1970s, and this particular track in particular, is absolutely breathtaking. With a style that may appear chaotic upon initial listen, Cecil's f…
Payan
*2024 stock* Lovely 1972 solo work by one of the most influential European avant-garde pianists of the last half-century; a player whose improvisational flexibility puts him in the same league as Cecil Taylor, but whose ability to concentrate at moments and knowledge of jazz history make him much more remarkable! One of Alexander Von Schlippenbach's finest albums; it's beautiful all the way through, with an unfaltering inventiveness that occasionally leads to Monkish moments or Herbie Nichols wh…
