CHERRY, DON	Sunrise (1977)	CD	WEWANTSOUNDS	WWSCD 124CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/6/2026 Wewantsounds presents the first official release of a legendary 1977 concert capturing Don Cherry, Collin Walcott, and Leon Thomas in their only documented performance together. Recorded live on March 5, 1977, at Pease Auditorium in Ypsilanti, Michigan, the performance featured the three musicians playing an immersive hypnotic set, joined for part of the evening by the rest of Oregon. Long circulating among a few Don Cherry fans, the full concert is now available featuring Moki Cherry artwork and new liner notes by Jason Weiss -- licensed by the Don Cherry Estate and producer James Quinlan. Don Cherry's huge influence has steadily grown over the years, as fans and new generations of listeners continue to uncover the vast breadth of his global musical vision. Sunrise captures Cherry during a particularly fertile late-1970s period, when the American jazz trumpeter blended global and Eastern spiritual concepts into his "Organic Music" philosophy, drawing deeply from Eastern and African traditions. Moving fluidly between trumpet, the West African doussn'gouni (a traditional hunter's harp from Mali), bamboo flutes, percussion, and vocals, Cherry creates a deeply resonant world music soundscape. Recorded live on March 5, 1977, at Pease Auditorium in Ypsilanti, Michigan, the show took place just a month after Don Cherry participated in the recording of Collin Walcott's ECM album Grazing Dreams. With Walcott playing alongside Cherry and vocalist Leon Thomas, bringing his unmistakable yodel-style vocal approach -- and joined for part of the night by the rest of Oregon (Ralph Towner, Paul McCandless and Glen Moore) -- the performance stands as a stunning, hypnotic forerunner to the formation of CODONA. The newly remastered audio is so vivid and intimate that it feels as though you are sitting directly in the room with the musicians. The release also serves as a vibrant homage to Don and Moki Cherry's creative partnership, featuring a reproduction of Moki's striking 1975 Mandala tapestry on the front cover.

C'MON TIGRE	Lumina	CD	CMT	CT 004CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/2/2026 The Italian duo returns with a new album blending electronic sequences and acoustic instruments. The spirit of the rave party, rooted in a physical and collective experience. Lumina marks a new chapter in C'mon Tigre's evolution, where electronic music moves from the background to the core of the band's sound. Across thirteen interconnected tracks, synthesizers, arpeggiators and club-inspired rhythms merge seamlessly with acoustic instruments such as oud, cello, vibraphone and percussion, creating an immersive, continuous listening experience. Rather than opposing tradition and innovation, Lumina embraces their constant coexistence. The album explores how technology is reshaping not only the way music is created, but also how humans experience sound, time and physical presence. Inspired by the rave as a space of collective ritual and temporary freedom, it treats repetition and rhythm as tools for communion rather than escapism, turning listening into a deeply physical experience. The music was first developed and tested live at Robot Festival (Bologna) and JazzMi (Milan) in late 2025. Those performances became a laboratory where the interaction between the music and the audience ultimately shaped the final record. Featuring Perry Maysun.

SHIROISHI & JASON NAZARY, PATRICK	here i am no i	LP	WE JAZZ	WJLP 086LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 Saxophonist Patrick Shiroishi and drummer Jason Nazary present their new album, here i am no i. here i am no i is a free-flowing body of work with continuous forward-motion, building on the acoustic duo setting and expands with electronics and voice landing somewhere beyond genre. Dedicated to Jaimie Branch, the album is a spontaneous product of trying to come to terms with the unimaginable loss of a close friend. The seven tracks included on the album echo the organic process and the emotional necessity for this music to exist. From the searching mood set by opener "self portrait against blue," everything feels very live while also adding sonic layers to build a sound space beyond the usual sax/drums duo setting. Listeners familiar with the two artists' previous work find natural entry points in the electro-acoustic scope of the album, while discovering possibilities brought on by this specific new setting. There's a "tone poem" quality to the music, one which feels devotional without any obvious references to "spiritual" musical cornerstones. Patrick Shiroishi is a Japanese-American multi-instrumentalist, composer and poet based in Los Angeles. He is a member of hardcore punk band The Armed, contemporary classical group Wild Up and ambient jazz band Fuubutsushi. Shiroishi has guested on records by Chelsea Wolfe, Xiu Xiu, Emma Ruth Rundle, By Storm, Yellow Eyes, Lia Kohl, Water Damage, Big Brave, Agriculture, and Dirty Projectors, plus more. His solo work has appeared on labels such as Sub Pop, Touch, American Dreams and Otherly Love. Jason Nazary is a Brooklyn-based drummer and producer, whose work has previously appeared on the We Jazz label on the solo album Spring Collection and on New Monuments by Amirtha Kidambi's Elder Ones. His early projects include the influential noise jazz group, Little Women, anteloper, an electro-acoustic duo w the late jaimie branch. He currently performs regularly with Amirtha Kidambi's Elder Ones, Helado Negro, Darius Jones, as well as solo and his own groups, the improvising avant hip-hop quartet, WRENS, and the duo with Saint Abdullah. here i am no i is released by We Jazz Records on vinyl and digital formats. The LP comes as a blue marbled edition with insert. The album artwork is based on images by American photographer and film director Trevor Naud.

KALFA/GEORGE DUMITRIU/JOACHIM BADENHORST, SANEM	Black Sea Songs II	LP	W.E.R.F.	WERF 279LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 On this new album, the trio of Sanem Kalfa, George Dumitriu, and Joachim Badenhorst invites you on a poetic and sonic voyage. While their debut Black Sea Songs (2021) drew from traditional folk melodies, this work is a collection of original compositions and one improvisation, inspired by the rich cultures and emotions surrounding the Black Sea. The music of this trio is elegant yet adventurous, blending jazz, improvisation, world traditions, and contemporary classical influences. Kalfa's distinctive voice and cello, Dumitriu's versatile viola and guitar, and Badenhorst's expressive clarinet and occasional vocals create a unique, dreamlike atmosphere. From the melancholic dance of "Denizi Özleyenler çin' (inspired by Orhan Veli Kank) to the hypnotic rhythms of "Intermezzo" and the narrative depth of "Fisherman" and "Black," each track breathes the freedom, longing, and interconnectedness that the Black Sea symbolizes. This album is not just a collection of songs but a living story of travel, encounter, and belonging-whether evoking the ports of Istanbul, the shores of Bulgaria, or the emotional landscapes that connect everyone. Black Sea Songs is a celebration of spontaneity, familiarity, and the universal language of music.

CALDERON, JUAN CARLOS	Bloque 6	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 374LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 Bloque 6 (1968), by Juan Carlos Calderón, is a landmark recording in the history of modern jazz in Spain, markedly different from the albums Calderón would record just a few years later under the influence of funk, disco music, and even flamenco. Juan Carlos Calderón enjoyed a long and successful career, composing and arranging some of the most iconic songs by Spanish artists such as Joan Manuel Serrat, Mocedades, and Ana Belén, among many others. However, his musical beginnings were closely tied to the world of jazz. His training as a pianist and the restless, adventurous spirit he shared with his brothers -- alongside whom he opened one of Spain's first jazz clubs, a venue that welcomed many of the world's leading jazz figures -- shaped the early stages of his career and led him into the jazz scene. His recording debut came in 1968 with the release of Juan Carlos Calderón presenta a Juan Carlos Calderón, followed a few months later by Bloque 6. For the recording of this album, he assembled a group of prominent Spanish jazz musicians, including Pedro Iturralde, Vlady Bas, and Pepe Nieto. The repertoire combines original compositions, such as the outstanding "Sambando," with interpretations of works by Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and Oliver Nelson. The album's sound invites comparison with Nelson's celebrated "The Blues and the Abstract Truth" period, reflecting strong hard bop and modal jazz influences. In 1969, the album was awarded Best International Jazz Album of the Year in the United States, and years later it was reissued on CD by the prestigious Blue Note label. First time vinyl reissue.

VON SCHLIPPENBACH, ALEXANDER	Main Lines/1967	CD	CORBETT VS. DEMPSEY	CVSD 121CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/11/2026 In September, 1967, three of the primary ensembles of free music in Northern Europe gathered for a mini-festival on Radio Bremen: the Manfred Schoof Quintet, the Peter Brötzmann Quartet, and the Irene Schwiezer Trio. Pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach appeared as part of the Manfred Schoof Quintet, but in these sets, which mixed the dozen members of the ensembles, as well as presenting them on their own, Schlippenbach in fact either led or was at the center of several groupings, presenting two of his compositions. Main Lines/1967 compiles four tracks from these formative studio sessions, which took place just as the participants were formulating the basic direction of improvised music in Europe. The CD includes large ensemble music in the mode of Schlippenbach's Globe Unity recordings, the first of which were made a year earlier. Mani Neumeier, who would soon become the drummer in the rock group Guru Guru, offers a wild percussion-centric ride in "It's Up," while saxophonist Peter Brötzmann squares off against trios -- three basses, three pianos, three drummers -- in the volatile piece "Three." The most compositionally complex works are Schlippenbach's, the title track and "Turn 14," which was part of the Schoof Quintet's repertoire. Other participants include drummer Jaki Liebezeit, who would go on to propel Can, bassists Peter Kowald, Uli Trepte, and Buschi Niebergall, pianist Fred Van Hove, saxophonist Gerd Dudek, and celebrated improvisor/drummer Sven-Äke Johansson. A major unearthing, these recordings celebrate their 60th anniversary next year but have lost none of their incendiary edge.

IQNOVARA	O Innocent Heart	LP	W.E.R.F.	WERF 283LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/11/2026 Iqnovara is a band to watch: their debut album, Onderstroom (2024), was immediately picked up and praised by Belgian public radio broadcast Klara. Their follow-up album, O Innocent Heart, is presented by W.E.R.F. records. This album explores the boundaries between jazz and North Indian classical music. For three years, they refined this music in close collaboration with Pakistani sarod maestro Asad Qizilbash. Bandleader, guitarist, and composer Haroun Iqbal deepened his understanding of the North Indian tradition during this period, including a study trip to New Delhi to learn from Shubhendra Rao, a protégé of Ravi Shankar. O Innocent Heart connects both musical worlds in each piece in its own way, always seeking how each musician can shine.

DOLLAR BRAND/DON CHERRY/CARLOS WARD	The Third World-Underground (1974)	CD	WEWANTSOUNDS	WWSCD 125CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/11/2026 Wewantsounds presents the first-ever international release of the legendary collaboration between Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) and Don Cherry, featuring Carlos Ward. Recorded live in 1972 at Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, this highly sought-after album was originally released exclusively in Japan in 1974 on the cult jazz label Trio Records via its revered Nadja imprint. An essential chapter in the musicians' discographies, the performance masterfully blends jazz with rich South African rhythms and global influences. This long-awaited edition features fully remastered audio, the original Japanese artwork, and a four-page booklet with new bilingual liner notes (English/French) by Jacques Denis. The Third World-Underground captures a rare convergence of three singular musical voices: Don Cherry's nomadic imagination, Abdullah Ibrahim's deeply rooted South African lyricism, and Carlos Ward's muscular alto saxophone. By 1972 when this magical album was recorded, Cherry and Ibrahim had already spent a decade redefining jazz by pushing beyond its foundations and embracing a broader, global musical language. Cherry was in constant search of new musical pathways. Drawing inspiration from the traditional sounds of Turkey, India, Africa, and beyond, he cultivated a fluid, borderless approach that expanded far beyond the trumpet, incorporating voice, percussion, and communal improvisation into his work. Ibrahim brought an equally profound sensibility. A spiritual heir to Duke Ellington, shaped by Cape Town gospel, township jive, and the emotional weight of exile, he transformed the piano into an instrument capable of both celebration and lament. Having first crossed paths in the mid-1960s, the musicians shared a deep mutual affinity that culminated in this performance. Recording under a name that reflected the era's growing decolonization movements, the trio created a fearless, boundary-defying statement across seven hypnotic pieces. The music unfolds as a continuous conversation: Ibrahim's cyclical piano figures provide an emotional foundation while Cherry and Ward drift, soar, and chant in ecstatic unison, searching collectively for new ground. Originally released in Japan in 1974 on Trio Records, the album was never reissued on vinyl, gradually attaining cult status among collectors and fans of Don Cherry and Dollar Brand alike. Freed from convention, The Third World-Underground remains a restless and deeply human work of collective discovery whose resonance continues to unfold with every listen.

POPP, SIMON	Trio (Silver Edition)	LP	SQUAMA	SQM 036S-LP
$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/11/2026 Simon Popp is back on Squama with his fourth album Trio. At its heart, Trio is a work about collaboration, playfulness and unification. It is music as a means of coming together, a sonic equivalent to the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi, in which broken ceramics are repaired with a visible golden lacquer. Rather than hiding the breaks, Kintsugi embraces them, making them part of the story, a form of delicate transformation. Popp and his collaborators Flurin Mück and Sebastian Wolfgruber take a similar approach: three distinct drummers, three different temperaments, three personal styles. Fused together into a single expressive instrument. The album is a celebration of timbre, texture, and touch, its sound palette drawn from across continents and traditions. Human beings at all points of time, across all cultures and continents have used music to celebrate, mourn, worship and bond. Along with our voices, creating rhythm with our bodies. Clapping, stomping, hitting with sticks. A celebration of rhythm as both a shared human memory and an audible expression of close bonds. Trio is a reflection of the beauty of imperfection and the timeless pull of rhythm as a shared human force. The cracks are not hidden. They are filled with gold.

PASCAUD, MATTHIS	Loup(s)	CD	SHAKE PRODUCTION	SHAKE 002X-CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 The new album by the French jazz guitarist recorded in the legendary Abbey Road studio. A soft album with pop and cinematic influences between Khruangbin, Bombay Bicycle Club, and Bill Frisell. With wild eyes and ash-gray fur, Loup(s) is an instrumental album where jazz and pop intertwine, led by guitarist Matthis Pascaud (Ayo, Erik Truffaz, Moonlight Benjamin, Marion Rampal, Hugh Coltman) and his pack of sonic alchemists. Once again, the album features the magnetic R (Cheick Tidiane Seck, Erik Truffaz, Tété, Albin de la Simone) on drums, composition, and co-production, alongside bassist Laurent Vernerey (Didier Lockwood, MC Solaar, Henri Salvador, Jane Birkin) and saxophonist-clarinetist Christophe Panzani (Carla Bley Big Band, Hocus Pocus, Anne Paceo). Four lone wolves, fluent in swamp blues and psychedelic incantations. After Night Trippin' and Good Grief, Matthis sets off into uncharted territory, tracing the footsteps of Pink Floyd while echoing the shimmering grooves of Khruangbin, Blake Mills, and Pino Palladino. The result, Loup(s), recorded at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios, is a record where atmosphere reigns supreme. Tempos stretch and breathe, basslines rumble, and saxophones murmur through a Leslie cabinet. Landscapes emerge, sculpted by rolling toms and the feline cry of a 1967 Gretsch Astrojet. Later, singer Célia Kameni and pianist Gaël Rakotondrabe lend their own mysterious enchantments. Together, Pascaud and his band of explorers chase textures as others might chase gold, dreaming aloud of a music made of a panoramic vision stretching from the plains of Gran Sasso to the far edges of the American West, in search of forgotten legends.

Drawing on folk traditions from eastern Greater Poland, the trio creates a distinctive sound that blends folk with jazz, blues and free improvisation.

STEINMETZ WITH THE RADIO JAZZ GROUP, HUGH	Afrodisiaca	LP	FORMALIBERA	8FFHS191
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Formalibera presents a previously unreleased LP edition by Hugh Steinmetz including the first recording of "Afrodisiaca." Recorded a year before the Cadentia Nova Danica version issued by Tchicai on the legendary LP on MPS, the recording presented here was done with the Danish Radio Jazz Group, is longer in duration and even wilder in approach. Side B features three more previously unreleased and very experimental tracks, also recorder with the Danish Radio Jazz Group during the 1960s. Radical music with tape manipulations, repetitive minimalistic ostinatos, brutal fadings, extreme tape speedings. This LP edition includes an insert with liner notes by Mats Gustafsson. "Steinmetz was one of very few Scandinavian musicians who actually travelled south and collaborated with European musicians in the late '60s. To interact with other musicians is KEY. The Danes did it. Early on. They went there. As creative magnets looking for artists to share the moment with. In my world. He is a legend. And a key to understand the early developments of free jazz. The possibilities given to Steinmetz by the leader of the Danish Radio Jazz Group, Erik Moseholm, created chances to explore and to experiment. In a studio situation with a large hand-picked band and time to rehearse. Ideas and perspectives grabbing the moment. Presented on this vinyl are different occasions where Steinmetz was working with The Danish Radio Jazz Group in various settings and situations. Different ideas tried out and realized with endless support of Moseholm. Radical jazz music in large settings. Those times were WILD! Steinmetz was given the chance. And he used it. The collection of pieces presented on this album makes my jaw fall into my lap. Makes me breathe without lungs. Makes me sweat." --Mats Gustafsson, April 2026

Balancing explosive intensity with lyrical subtlety, the trio creates a deeply immersive dialogue beyond technical display-music as storytelling, risk and discovery. A powerful document of creative freedom and real-time interaction.

OPEN SKY UNIT	Open Sky Unit (Standard Version)	LP	SDBAN	SDBAN 021LP
$33.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL 2026 repress. Sdban Records presents a reissue of the mythical Open Sky Unit (1974) by the eponymous jazz fusion group featuring Micheline and Jacques Pelzer, Steve Houben, Ron Wilson, Janot Buchem, and Michel Graillier. The album returns on vinyl, highlighting a pivotal moment in Belgian jazz history, where soul, funk, and free improvisation came together in a vibrant and family-driven project. Formed in the early 1970s as a homage to Dave Liebman's group Open Sky, Open Sky Unit grew out of informal jam sessions in Liège, Belgium, into a unique collective. One of the central figures was Jacques Pelzer, father of drummer and vocalist Micheline Pelzer, alongside his second cousin, saxophonist/flutist Steve Houben, bass player Janot Buchem, percussionist Michel Graillier and American pianist/composer Ron Wilson. Their 1974 debut album was released on the Duchesne classical music label, run by Pelzer's brother-in-law. The group's sound carefully balanced jazz and soul and was largely directed by Wilson, a Californian pianist and singer who settled in Liège and nearby Maastricht after his army service. Wilson composed the entire repertoire. Open Sky Unit was recorded live at Jazzland club in Liège, and the band made several short tours in Belgium and abroad (including Tunisia) until around 1975-1976, when Houben left for Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music. Although the original live recording from 1974 was not technically perfect, the group succeeded in capturing their heartfelt live energy. Years later, the album version of "Sunshine Star" found its way onto Funky Chicken (2014), the compilation that not only brought the track back into the spotlight but also marked the beginning of Sdban Records. Although the band never achieved a major international breakthrough, they were highly valued in progressive European jazz circles and later secured a place in anthologies such as Utopic Cities: Progressive Jazz in Belgium 1968-1979. The reissue of Open Sky Unit brings their music back into the spotlight and reaffirms their role as key figures in the Belgian jazz scene of the seventies.

JOSEPH AND MARCELO BRATKE, JULIAN	Imaginary Line	CD	RIVETATION RECORDS	RIV 006CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 This album presents four jazz composers (the classics of jazz) and four 20th Century classical composers (whose music contains a strong element of jazz) in a new and contemporary dialogue. From Thelonius Monk to Igor Stravinsky, pianists Julian Joseph and Marcelo Bratke initiate a series of imaginative exchanges be-tween the pre-established structures of classical music and the improvisation of jazz. The "imaginary line" is the line that divides these two apparently antagonistic worlds, but which in this case becomes a line of communication, bringing the worlds of jazz and classical closer together and allowing the listener to see the music as a unit. Marcelo has very bravely taken on the challenge of jazz with its many unique requirements and has put his trust in me to direct his vast training and considerable musical talent to create the feeling of Jazz. Julian performs for the Classical side of this project which was born out of a mutual admiration between the two musicians and early discussions about doing a Gershwin recording. The principles of Imaginary Line finding parallels between composers from each idiom and unifying them in a statement about 20th Century music and its commonality by revealing the expansive quality of the two musicians' musical choices and how that limitless influence spreads beyond neat categorization. Compositions by George Gershwin, Darius Milhaud, Frances Poulenc, Igor Stavinsky, Thelonius Monk, Bill Evans, Chick Corea, and Duke Ellington.

$28.50 IN STOCK Following the release of Ganzfeld (KRXN 039LP, 2024), the Tenerife-based octet returns with Retiro Espiritual, their fourth full-length album and the second chapter in an ongoing improvisational document recorded inside one of Santa Cruz de Tenerife's abandoned oil tanks. Gaf & The Love Supreme Arkestra work outside conventional studio frameworks. Their music emerges from extended improvisation sessions that unfold sporadically, sometimes over several days. Built around drums, guitar, bass, modular synthesis and samplers, and expanded with vibraphone and winds (flutes, saxophone, Herreño whistle), the group continues to move between jazz, psychedelic rock and free-form experimental composition. While Ganzfeld drew from the misty northern coast of Isla Baja, Retiro Espiritual turns toward Taganana, one of Tenerife's most remote regions. Its isolation, Atlantic exposure and volcanic terrain inform the record's pace and focus. The title reflects this shift: a space for retreat, collective creation and suspended time. Sonically, Retiro Espiritual leans warmer and more reflective. Flutes drift over slow grooves, extended jams unfold patiently, and traces of '70s spiritual jazz surface throughout. The experimental core remains, now shaped by repetition, space and a calmer, sunlit atmosphere. Another autonomous transmission from a band committed to ritual, territory and long-form collective improvisation at the edge of the Atlantic. Recorded live in 2020 in Tenerife Canary Islands. Produced by Mladen Kurajica. Mixed by Jorge Lozano. Master by Daniel García. Artwork: Felipe González Cabezas.

RAGINI TRIO	3	LP	W.E.R.F.	WERF 278LP
$30.50 IN STOCK Three musicians, three worlds: raga, jazz, and their own imagination. East, West, and the fusion in between. Rhythm, melody, and harmony. Past, present, and future. With 3, Ragini Trio experiences a rebirth -- after years of deep exploration into long-form ragas, South Indian Carnatic traditions, konnakkol, and Western jazz. Thirteen years after their debut, this album stands as an homage to both worlds. By refusing to play things "as they should be played," Ragini Trio finds the in-between space -- that magnetic tension where jazz and Indian classical music meet and transform each other. Inspired by the traditional Indian trio of tabla, flute, and tanpura, Ragini offers its mirrored jazz response: drums, saxophone, and double bass. The result unites jazz, which seeks freedom within structure, with raga, which seeks structure within freedom. Far from purism or imitation, Ragini Trio crafts a living dialogue between rhythm, melody, and tone color. And it's a statement. Bursting with energy, depth, and self-irony, 3 is a vibrant antidote to the algorithmic recycle-music of today and tomorrow -- born from the chemistry of three exceptional artists: saxophonist Nathan Daems, drummer Lander Gyselinck, and double bassist Marco Bardoscia.

SUN RA\|MERZBOW	Strange City	2CD	COLD SPRING RECORDS	CSR 369CD
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Officially licensed from Irwin Chusid of the Sun Ra estate, Cold Spring negotiated rare and unreleased tracks from the Sun Ra archive to be remixed and treated by Masami Akita (Merzbow). The tracks incorporate the jazz power of Sun Ra, carried into brutal excess by the legendary Japanese noise artist, Merzbow. Originally released by Cold Spring a decade ago and long sold out, the music was spread across vinyl and CD, with completely different music on each format. The tracks are now collected together here for the first time, from the original masters and presented in the order originally intended (the vinyl format dictated the order due to optimal sound quality restraints). Also included (for the first time on any release) is the bonus two minute track "Granular Jazz Part 5," a special composition created for the Stuart Maconie's "Freak Zone" (BBC Radio 6), which was only broadcast once, ahead of Merzbow's show at Manchester's legendary FAC251, September 2016. Presented on 2CD with expanded artwork in a eight-panel double digipak. Comes with an eight-page booklet featuring a new essay by Gydja.

TRZASKA/JOHN EDWARDS/MARK SANDERS, MIKOLAJ	Because It Happens/Not So Late	LP	GUSSTAFF RECORDS	GRAM 2604LP
$28.00 NOT IN STOCK LP version. Because It Happens captures a remarkable live encounter between three masters of free improvisation, recorded at London's renowned Café OTO. Mikolaj Trzaska (saxophone, bass clarinet), John Edwards (double bass) and Mark Sanders (drums) approach music not as improvisation but as "live composition" -- an evolving process shaped equally by performers, space and audience. Balancing explosive intensity with lyrical subtlety, the trio creates a deeply immersive dialogue beyond technical display-music as storytelling, risk and discovery. A powerful document of creative freedom and real-time interaction.
