SPIRAL DELUXE	Voodoo Magic	2x12"	AXIS	AX 076EP
$27.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/7/2018 As electronic music knows no creative boundaries, Spiral Deluxe is clearly a profound and convincing example of what is possible in the times we live in today. Traditionally, they would be considered a musical quartet. Each of the four members contributing to make a special joint effort -- the meeting of minds from different spectrums of the musical sphere, but if you move in closer to examine how each have modified the way they communicate in order to play with each other. A longtime vision of their drummer/percussionist and Jeff Mills. Before becoming the world renown and groundbreaking DJ, producer, and artist he is recognized for, he was a drummer in his youth, which carried on up until he began DJing in the late 1970s. Since then, he had always carried idea to get back to his musical roots. This longtime dream began to surface a few years ago when Mills was bestowed a "white card" residency at the Museum du Le Louvre in Paris. It was there that he found the opportunity to form a band for one night and it opened the doors to a chance to materialize his dream. Since then, the formation has carefully evolved into one might describe as a "super band" -- a group of highly-skilled musicians, working together to reach a higher level of creativity. For example, although members are using electronic instruments, there is no MIDI syncing connection. Each plays their instrument unattached as if any jazz or rock band would play together. Each having a vast amount of experience in live and studio projects, this release displays their wealth of skill and musical knowledge that comes from jazz, funk, pop, gospel, Detroit techno, and all forms of house music. Spiral Deluxe is: Yumiko Ohno - keyboard; Gerald Mitchell - keyboard; Kenji "Jino" Hino - bass guitar; Jeff Mills - drums and percussion. Voodoo Magic is the result of a two-day recording session at the famous Studio Ferber in Paris. Most tracks on this release were recorded in one-take recordings to "capture the moment". "Let It Go" was composed by Spiral Deluxe and features even more masterful artistry of the likes of veteran vocalist Tanya Michelle, with the mix production of the one-and-only Detroit native producer and DJ Terrence Parker. 180 gram vinyl; Axis Audiophile Series; Color gatefold jacket. A and B side: 33 1/3rpm; C and D side: 45rpm.

FLAHERTY & CHRIS CORSANO, PAUL	The Hated Music	2LP	FEEDING TUBE RECORDS	FTR 308LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/10/2018 "Hard to believe it has been 18 years since this set was first issued, but that's what the calendar says. Paul and Chris had been playing together for a while before this. I seem to recall rehearsals outdoors in Hartford beneath stretches of raised highway under construction. But that may have been Chris and Pete Nolan, back when Pete played guitar. Who can remember exactly? It's been a long time. But I do remember we put this set together because it seemed essential to document how amazing the communication was between these two musicians, from different generations, but tuned into the same insane frequency. When we told Paul we wanted to do it on the Ecstatic Yod label, with art by Gary Panter, and actual liner notes, he thought it wasn't the best idea he'd ever heard, but what the hell. The actual hope of the label was to raise the profile of this incredibly talented but ruinously humble saxophonist, so that he'd be thought of in the same way as the day's other great players. And hey -- it sorta worked. The CD got solid reviews, and more people heard it. But what most listeners took away from it was how intensely telepathic the music is. It's all lightning and smoke. These guys were deep inside each other's heads, and that made for a wonderful listening experience. In a way it's funny to hear how 'jazzy' Chris's playing is. He's gone so far beyond known-moves over the last years, you almost suspect he must be holding back. But he's not. He's throwing down as hard as he can to meet the ragged flowing genius of Flaherty's horn at every turn. He just had different chops back then. And the music is still amazing. The Hated Music is one of the best extended drum/sax forays you'll ever hear. If we could have done it on vinyl back then, we would have, but no one was buying the stuff much right then. Jerks. That has changed a bit now. For the good. And we got the great Gary Panter to do new cover, since the old one was CD sized and weird. But everything else is the same. And it totally rips a hole in the universe. Now and forever. Amen." --Byron Coley, 2018 Edition of 500; Includes download code.

BURRELL WITH ART BLAKEY, KENNY	At The Five Spot Cafe	LP	JEANNE DIELMAN	JD 124LP
$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/10/2018 Jeanne Dielman presents a reissue of Kenny Burrell with Art Blakey At The Five Spot Cafe, originally released on Blue Note in 1959. The great jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell on one of his most celebrated sets of all time. Recorded live at the Five Spot Café in New York City on August 25, 1959, this is the second set and the band is really cooking. Featuring the brilliant drummer Art Blakey as well as the wonderful, but unfortunately under-recorded tenor saxophonist Tina Brooks, Burrell's band is in tip-top shape on this set of compositions ranging from originals to Gershwin to Gillespie. An essential live set for any fan of the golden era of modern jazz.

LACY, STEVE	Reflections	LP	JEANNE DIELMAN	JD 125LP
$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/10/2018 Jeanne Dielman presents a reissue of Steve Lacy's Reflections, originally released on New Jazz in 1959. The legendary reeds-man Steve Lacy takes on the brilliant compositions of Thelonious Monk. Reflections is a glorious quartet session with Lacy on soprano sax, accompanied by the great Mal Waldron on piano, as worthy a pianist to take on the tunes of Monk as one could imagine, along with Buell Neidlinger on bass, and the amazing Elvin Jones on the trap kit. Though it's only Lacy's second recording as a leader, his maturity and range are well on display here as he re-imagines seven of Monk's beautiful tunes as his own.

BAILEY & JAMIE MUIR, DEREK	Dart Drug	LP	HONEST JON'S RECORDS	HJR 206LP
$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/27/2018 Honest Jon's Records present a reissue of Jamie Muir and Derek Bailey's 1981 duo album, Dart Drug, originally released on Bailey's Incus label. Percussionist Jamie Muir was a member of King Crimson during the recording of Larks' Tongues In Aspic, in 1973. Staying less than a year with Robert Fripp, the Scot had already cut his teeth with another master guitarist, Derek Bailey, as part of the Music Improvisation Company, along with Evan Parker, Hugh Davies and Christine Jeffrey. There's no shortage of great percussionists in the brief history of free improvised music but on the strength of Dart Drug alone Jamie Muir deserves among them. Unlike for example Han Bennink and John Stevens, though, you can't hear echoes of any particular jazz drummer in Muir's playing, even if he has expressed appreciation for Milford Graves. What on earth did Muir's kit consist of? Some instruments are clearly identifiable (bells, gongs, chimes, woodblocks), while others could be anything. Old suitcases thwacked with rolled up newspapers? Tin cans and hubcaps inside a washing machine? Who cares? It sounds terrific, but if you're the kind of person who faints at the sound of nails scraping a blackboard, you might want to nip out and put the kettle on towards the end of the title track. Dart Drug is consistently thrilling, and often amusing, but it's certainly not easy listening. In music we talk about playing with other musicians, whereas in sport you play against another opponent (or with your team against another team). Why not play against in music, too? That's often precisely what happens in improvised music, and Bailey was particularly good at it. How can a humble acoustic guitar hope to compete with Muir in full flight? Sometimes Bailey's content to sit on those open strings, teasing out yet another exquisite Webernian constellation of ringing harmonics and wait for the dust to settle in Muir's junkyard, but elsewhere he sets off into uncharted territory himself. "The way to discover the undiscovered in performing terms is to immediately reject all situations as you identify them (the cloud of unknowing) which is to give music a future," Bailey evidently concurred with this spoken statement by Muir, including it in his book Improvisation (1980). Derek Bailey is no longer with us, of course, and Muir gave up performing music back in 1989; all the more reason for seeking out this magnificent, wild album.

DAVIS, MILES	At Newport 1958	LP	WAX LOVE	WLV 82101LP
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/27/2018 Wax Love present a reissue of Miles Davis's At Newport 1958, originally released in 1958. Featuring the majority of the band that would, a year later, release the absolute pinnacle of modal jazz, Kind Of Blue (RUM 2011129LP), Davis brought his group to the Newport festival in 1958 for a brilliant performance. Though the group doesn't play any songs from that record, instead focusing on classics like "Straight No Chaser" and "Bye Bye Blackbird", one can hear the whispers of that LP. Essential live jazz from the greatest trumpet player of all time.

SIMONE, NINA	The Amazing Nina Simone	LP	WAX LOVE	WLV 82095LP
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/27/2018 Wax Love present a reissue of The Amazing Nina Simone, originally released in 1959. Nina Simone's second LP, The Amazing Nina Simone, was her first for the Colpix label who would release most of her early material. A collection of blues, jazz, gospel, and folk music, mostly made up of standards and traditional tunes and favoring string arrangements to the piano work Simone is most known for, The Amazing Nina Simone is a beautiful and unique album when compared to the rest of her body of work. Showcasing her beautiful voice on legendary songs like "Willow Weep For Me" and the Rodgers/Hammerstein standard "It Might As Well Be Spring", this is a gorgeous album from one of the most powerful and idiosyncratic performers of the mid-20th century.

MINGUS, CHARLES	East Coasting	LP	WAX LOVE	WLV 82102LP
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/27/2018 Wax Love present a reissue of Charles Mingus's East Coasting, originally released in 1957. Recorded and released in 1957, this may not be Charles Mingus's most often discussed title, but it is a wonderful set featuring five great Mingus originals and is an unpredictable and exploratory album. Featuring his core group at the time, along with the amazing pianist Bill Evans, this is crucial late '50s jazz that explores the outer reaches of bop music.

MINGUS, CHARLES	The Complete Sessions of The Clown	LP	WAX LOVE	WLV 82103LP
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/27/2018 Wax Love present the complete sessions Charles Mingus's The Clown, originally released in 1957. Featuring two more tracks than the original release of The Clown this is the complete sessions Mingus recorded from February to March 1957. Including the original version of one of his most well-known tracks, "Haitian Fight Song", The Clown is a great album that is one of the earliest Mingus releases to show his compositional excellence as well as his stretched-out and complex sound. Another essential Mingus title on Wax Love.

COSTITA SEXTETO, HECTOR	Impacto	LP	VINILISSSIMO	MRSSS 558LP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/27/2018 Vinilisssimo present a reissue of Hector Costita Sexteto's Impacto, originally released in 1964. By the mid-1960s, samba and bossa nova were the exotic hip sounds of the time. João Gilberto had gained international popularity by blending American jazz and samba, and Sérgio Mendes was about to reach the Billboard Top 5 a few times. Hector "Costita" Bisignani had arrived to Brazil a few years earlier from his native Argentina, where he started to play saxophone influenced by local legend Lalo Schifrin. During his first years in Brazil he would play with artists such as João Donato, Manfredo Fest, and Sérgio Mendes (as part of Sexteto Bossa Rio), and also released a solo album: O Fabuloso Hector (1962). In 1964, Costita and his sextet recorded Impacto (Fermata) in São Paulo, an explosive mix of tough jazz and Brazilian samba in equal measure, widely considered his best work. The opening track "Le Roi" alone should be enough reason for any music lover to own this beautiful record, but the entire album is absolutely amazing. The work of Tom Jobin and Vinícius de Moraes has a prominent presence on the tracklist, which also features three compositions by Hector Costita: "Impacto", "Tanganica", and "Gabriela". Horace Silver's "The Tokyo Blues" is here simply listed as "Tokio", but the performance of Costita and his sextet does not shorten any of the original brilliance of the tune, showing the strength of jazz peppered with samba and the undoubtful skills of the musicians... This album is killer. Hector Costita would later stop recording music for quite a few years, working as a sideman for many artists such as Elis Regina and Wilson Simonal and as a music teacher at CLAM, a Brazilian music school founded by Zimbo Trio. Thankfully he would return to the studio in 1981 to continue his brilliant solo career. Presented in facsimile artwork and pressed on 180 gram vinyl.

LIGHTMEN, THE	Free As You Wanna Be	2CD	NOW-AGAIN	NA 5150CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/13/2018 "Drummer, bandleader and activist Bubbha Thomas had toured America with R&B revues, served as a session musician for Peacock and Back Beat Records, and played straight ahead jazz with legends before the political and social upheaval of the late 1960s led him to a path first charted by Coltrane. Free As You Wanna Be predates the deep-set, maverick jazz issued by the likes of Tribe and Strata East and is a harbinger of best of the 1970s jazz underground, a collective voice of resistance to the musical and cultural status quo. This is the first time that Free As You Wanna Be has seen reissue, and it is presented in both the issued stereo and previously unissued mono mixes as a double CD. Bubbha and his band's story is told in great detail by Houston music and cultural historian Lance Scott Walker (Houston Rap / Houston Rap Tapes) and Now-Again's Eothen Alapatt, in a booklet that contains unpublished photographs."

WILKINSON/EDWARDS/NOBLE	3 Of A Kind	LP	BO WEAVIL RECORDINGS	WEAVIL 055LP
$23.50 IN STOCK The trio of Alan Wilkinson, John Edwards, and Steve Noble continue to plot their course ever outward and ever upward. These new songs, recorded in South London at that wonderful performance space -- at the heart of the improve scene here at this moment -- Iklectik, are the very beating heart of improvised music. It's not that they are good, or even representative -- such relative terms fail to express the continuum of which these sounds are a key part. This is music that evades the strictures of scientific measurement or critical theory. It just is. Wilkinson is a master of the tribal, balls-out approach to sax playing. He lets it all hang out. But there is great subtlety in what he does with his horn, in the range of inflection, the space between the phrases, the singing tone. At times he sounds like a tight knit sax section in a swinging big band all on his own. There is definitely jazz in there. Edwards and Noble form the rhythmic base for much that is good and beautiful in the improv scene today. Years of playing together and individual brilliance mean they mesh like the gears of a micro-tuned machine. Together the trio make music. And that is all that needs saying. Personnel: Alan Wilkinson - alto, baritone saxophones, bass clarinet; John Edwards - double bass; Steve Noble - drums.

SCHNTZL	Paper, Wind	10"	W.E.R.F.	WERF 154EP
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/13/2018 The youthful jazz iconoclasts of SCHNTZL are undoubtedly among that much-talked-about "new wave of Belgian jazz". Since releasing their untitled debut in the fall of 2016 (WERF 140LP), the band has played an impressive number of concerts, adorned the stage of Gent Jazz Festival, and hosted Badbadnotgood in Amsterdam's Paradiso. This brand-new EP Paper, Wind is a new adventure in the continuous sonic search of pianist Hendrik Lasure and drummer Casper Van De Velde. The result is a moving collection of melancholic snapshots in which they keep flirting with minimalism and subtle electro. RIYL: Nils Frahm, Erased Tapes.

$19.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/6/2018 Listening to the music of Al Doum & The Faryds is always like staying in the pristine nature of an exotic island, in the sacred harmony of a new organic society; imaging all brothers and sisters singing and dancing in the unity of the brotherhood. This is the message of love and joy that pervade this fourth album, Spirit Rejoin. Moving towards accents of jazz ancestry, the Faryds absorb and re-elaborate -- with remarkable insights -- disparate elements and influences of electric jazz of the '70s (Miles Davis, Dr. John) and spiritual jazz (Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Don Cherry), marrying them with the forceful instances of Afro-free (Pyramids, Alkebu-Lan). The music celebrates a new collective soul, a dancing cathartic ritual with birds, plants, and all the animals, together in the circle of devotion. A journey in the total pranic breath.

BITTER FUNERAL BEER BAND WITH DON CHERRY	Live In Frankfurt 82	LP	BLACK SWEAT RECORDS	BS 040LP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/6/2018 First of all, Bengt Berger -- a pioneer of the Swedish underground of the '70s and historical member of bands such as Archimedes Badkar and Arbete Och Fritid -- is a versatile drummer-percussionist and well-educated ethnomusicologist with several research sojourns in India and Ghana. Deeply influenced by Hindustani, Carnatic, and West Africa music, he founded the Bitter Funeral Beer Band in 1980, an ensemble of 12 elements, basing his ideas on the traditional funeral music of the people of LoBirifor, in the northern region of Ghana. The sound material reinterprets the spirit of the funeral ritual, when the dance and its songs become a moment of catharsis, releasing a sense of joy in the trance for the liberation from pain. The marriage between this Afro-polyrhythmic roots, with the spiritual jazz of the eternal Don Cherry, and the Ondian sarod of K. Sridhar, it is in the direction to a pan-internationalism of profound spirituality, which blends different geographical traditions in a single contemplative gaze. It is the convergence towards a music without boundaries, where every instrumental voice shines and is well fermented and integrated.
