This album from 1995 marks a turn in direction for the distinguished New York guitarist, as it was at this point that his signature lilting avant-blues introduced a heavy and distorted tone…

Winds Bells Falls is the meeting between two of New York’s most unconventional musicians, sound artist Lea Bertucci and multi-everything instrumentalist Robbie Lee. The duo mix colorful free improv with musique concrete, sculpting experimental instrumental noise into a fascinating and even joyful encounter. On the album Lee plays medieval and baroque woodwinds, celeste (bell keyboard), and tubular chimes, while Bertucci live-manipulates and mangles his playing, hands inside a reel-to-reel tape machine, transforming and transfiguring in real time.

Bent Arcana is the product of five days' worth of improvised sessions which took place at John Dwyer's home studio in December of 2019. Aside from Dwyer and fellow Oh Sees family members such as saxophonist Brad Caulkins and keyboard player Tom Dolas, other participants included TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone on modular synthesizer, Sunwatchers bassist Peter Kerlin, violinist Laena "Geronimo" Myers-Ionita, and percussionists Andres Renteria and Ryan Sawyer.

Looking for great lost legends of the jazz world? Look no further. Anthony Ortega may be the best unknown jazzman out there. Possessed of a startling, almost entirely self-taught alto jazz sax style that is virtuoso yet accessible, simple yet sophisticated, earthy yet spiritual, subtle yet declamatory, Ortega easily falls into the category of the criminally neglected…

Water Is Life is an audio sculpture that evokes impressions of one of the defining events of our time, the Standing Rock protests, with improvised sound. Each track describes a different phase of the conflict, beginning with "Inception", describing the initial tension between the Standing Rock Sioux and Energy Partners Pipeline, and ending with "The Twilight Of Capitalism", reflecting on the fortitude and resilience of the resistance.

When Alexander Hawkins played at the Jazzfest Berlin in a duo with the American trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith, he met the saxophonist Angelika Niescier.

Niescier has also been honored in Berlin with the Albert Mangelsdorff Prize, Germany's most prestigious jazz award.

A no holds barred free jazz duo equally balancing fire / momentum with space / texture.

Patrick Shiroishi is a prolific voice in the burgeoning world where experimental music and jazz playfully overlap. He is constantly collaborating with groups, including his own collective, Danketsu 10. These collaborations find him typically adding lyrical voicings through his woodwinds, predominantly the saxophone. On Resting in the Heart of Green Shade, Shiroishi goes solo, and does so with provocative aplomb.

Nicols' first solo album, modestly recorded on her computer after teaching herself how to use Garageband during lock-down, brings forth her doubts, anxieties, loves and desires in a 13-part musical journey. Webbed through piano ballads, playful improvised ditties, stories, poetry and multi-layered vocal arrangements, 'Creative Contradiction' feels like a long-overdue catch up with a close friend.

Comprised of tracks recorded in Münich and Oslo, this is the debut of this collaboration between improviser and doyen of the double bass Barre Phillips, British saxophonist John Butcher and Norwegian drummer, percussionist and improviser, Ståle Liavik Solberg.
