Derek Bailey & Evan Parker
London ConcertIncus/OTOroku (UK), 1975. (reissue)
LP ... About June 1, 2018
Two of the British masters of improvised music play a full-length duet in this live recording from 1975. The one long track spans both sides of the LP, and features some amazing twists and turns by Parker, and the usual out-of-this world guitar playing by Bailey. LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Greyscale/DJM, 1976.
CD ... About May 4, 2018
The title really gives you the feel of this one – a spiritual bit of funk, with a hippy dippy approach that's reflected in both the grooves and the lyrics. The rhythms are a bit languid, inflected by a bit of reggae, and perhaps some organic relaxants – and the set has an easily ... CD (Soul CD)
Toshio Matsuura Group
Love Play DanceBrownswood (UK), 2018.
LP ... About May 4, 2018
Quite a compelling little record – a jazz album at heart, but one that also opens up into lots of different sonic territory – as you might expect from a collection of tunes that includes tracks by Rotary Connection, Roni Size, Flying Lotus, Kruder & Dorfmeister, and Bugge Wessletoft! ...

Topography Of The Lungs
Incus/OTOroku (UK), 1970. (reissue)
LP ... On June 1, 2018
A landmark album in the British avant garde – the first set ever issued on Incus Records, and a monumental set of improvisations between Evan Parker on saxes, Hank Bennink on percussion, and Derek Bailey on guitar! The album followed from some great energy on the British scene of the ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Marijata
Pat Thomas Introduces MarijataMr Bongo (UK), 1976. (reissue)
LP ... About April 27, 2018
One of the coolest albums to come from the Ghana scene in the 70s – served up by a group who's equally well-skilled at many ends of the musical spectrum! At one level, Marijata come on like a heavy funk act – lots of fuzz on the guitar, fierce drums at the bottom, and tight jazzy horns ... LP, Vinyl record album (Global Grooves LP)
Alan Braufman
Valley Of SearchIndia Navigation/Valley Of Search, 1975. (reissue)
LP ... On June 29, 2018
Fairly free set by a lesser-known group led by reed player Alan Braufman, and including bassist Cecil McBee, pianist Gene Ashton, drummer David Lee, and percussionist Ralph Williams. There's lots of nice, raw, post-Coltrane open-ended solos, and some more restrained modal moments that have a nice ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Jackson Sisters
Jackson SistersTiger Lily/Mr Bongo (UK), 1976. (reissue)
LP ... About June 15, 2018
An amazing bit of soul – and one of the rarest funk records of the 70s! This masterpiece was recorded by The Jackson Sisters, a semi-gospelly soul group that has a sound that's a bit like The Voices of East Harlem, but that's a lot harder, and that has a deeper soul sound overall! At times, ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul LP)

Capa Provisoria (180 gram pressing)Universal/Polysom (Brazil), 2017.
LP ... About May 1, 2018
Beautiful work from Tribalistas – that groundbreaking group forged from three Brazilian stars who rose in the 90s – Arnaldo Antunes, Marisa Monte, and Carlinhos Brown – who somehow found a perfect way to come together, and make their music even more special as a trio! We've ... LP, Vinyl record album (Brazil LP)
Arnaldo Antunes, Carlinhos Brown, & Marisa Monte
Tribalistas (180 gram pressing)EMI/Polysom (Brazil), 2002.
LP ... About May 1, 2018
3 of Brazil's most important artists of the past 10 years team up in this Tribalistas project – a genre-blurring set of tracks that recalls similar efforts of the Tropicalista generation, updated to reflect the styles of the 3 artists involved, with some nice complicated production touches ...

Augustus Pablo
Eastman DubRAS/Greensleeves, 1988.
LP ... About June 10, 2018
A nice collection of Pablo produced dubs, most of which appeared as b-sides to 45s at one point or another, of some excellent rockers rhythms. Pablo's haunting melodica lines and quacking clavinet drift in and out of some nice atmospheric dubs, including "Only Jah Jah Dub", 'Eastman ... LP, Vinyl record album (Reggae LP)

LP ... About April 25, 2018
Ike's got the distinction of being one of a number of 70s soul artists who were in prison while recording their debut efforts – and we're not ever sure if he made it out of the pen after this album came out. Whatever the case, the album's a surprisingly nice album of mellow soul tracks ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul LP)

HMV (Japan), Late 70s. (reissue)
7-inch ... About April 25, 2018
Beckie Bell's vocals are wonderful, with a high-tipping range that really grabs us like the female singers in Ramp – and a bottom groove that's heavy on live conga and percussion, which get a nice space of their own near the end! 7-inch, Vinyl record (Funky 45's 7-inch)

LP ... About April 25, 2018
A hard-driving collaboration between Zu and Mats Gustafsson – power jazz at its fiercest, with a pedal-to-the-metal sound that comes across with a definite punk-influenced approach to jazz, and at times a garagey quality that's a nice contrast to other recent avant jazz recordings!
