More Nipples ... CD Unheard Music Series/FMP, Early 70s. Used ...
Just Sold Out!
Lost work from early in the career of Peter Brotzmann – rare 1969 recordings that were done at the same time as his legendary Nipples album! The work here crackles with the same sort of fire as that famous LP – the kind of hard-blown, late 60s European work that really puts the "fr ... (Jazz) read moreCD
An amazing document of one of Peter Brotzmann's greatest albums from the time – a set that includes the album on CD, plus a book of photos taken during its creation! The record features spare duets between him and percussionist Han Bennink – recorded in the Black Forest, in a very ... (Jazz) read moreCD

A record that's a really nice change from the usual, especially for Peter Brotzmann – maybe more in the special sort of spirit that Misha Mengelberg can bring to some of his performances – especially when he's on the more sensitive side of the spectrum! That's definitely the case here, ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Maybe the greatest moment ever on record from Rudiger Carl – and not just because the album is "dedicated to all drinker friends"! Despite that embrace of alcohol, the record's got a very sobering power – as the group is a free jazz trio, working in the best bracing early FMP ... (Jazz) read moreCD
Charles Gayle calls forth the ghost of John Coltrane wonderfully – in this freewheeling set that also features bass from William Parker and drums from sometime Trane-mate Rashied Ali! The record is filled with the kind of openly expressive energy of Coltrane's mid 60s period – that ... (Jazz) read moreCD

One of the most ambitious albums ever from the Globe Unity Orchestra – a set that not only features work from some of the key free jazz musicians you'd usually find on their records, but also the choir of the NDR Orchestra – who make all these amazing vocalizations next to the equally ...

New Movements ... CD FMP/Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1976. New Copy Gatefold ...
$12.9915.99
A record that really takes its title seriously – as this debut by pianist Georg Grawe definitely marks a new movement in free jazz – work from some slightly younger players who maybe open up with even more intensity than the founders of the movement – completely breaking down any ...

Georg Grawe Quintet —
Pink Pong ... CD FMP/Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1977. New Copy ...
$12.9915.99
A record that's nothing like you'd expect from the title – neither pink nor pongy, and instead a second bold statement from pianist George Grawe – working here with a similar group as on his tremendous debut, but with a style that shows that their playing has already evolved quite a bit! ... (Jazz) read moreCD
An early moment of brilliance as a leader for bassist Peter Kowald – and maybe a record of his that matches the early FMP albums of Peter Brotzmann for sheer, raw intensity! There's almost a Machine Gun-like power here – as the group comes on with all the amazing energy that the early ... (Jazz) read moreCD
(Remastered from the original tapes, first time on CD, and in a great LP-styled cover!)
Peter Kowald on double bass, Wadada Leo Smith on trumpet, flugelhorn, mbira, and flute, and Gunter Sommer on drums, percussion, bells, and organ pipes. (Jazz) CD
An album that pairs Steve Lacy's soprano sax with different pianists – Marilyun Crispell, Misha Mengelberg, Ulrich Gumpert, Fred Van Hove, and Vladimir Miller. (Jazz) CD

$12.9915.99
Steve Lacy has always been a real master of sound, right from the start – a quality that only expanded once he began to make more open, solo soprano sax recordings in the 70s – the start of a great legacy that lasted for decades! Here, that aspect of his music is pushed even further in ... (Jazz) read moreCD

Bonobo Beach ... CD FMP/Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1981. New Copy ...
$12.9915.99
Pure acoustic genius from Hans Reichel – an improvising musician who rose up in the same generation as Derek Bailey and Fred Frith, but who's got a sound that's maybe much more in the experimental style of American artists like John Fahey or Robbie Basho! We're not saying that Reichel sounds ... (Jazz) read moreCD
Overlooked work by one of the true guitar geniuses of the 70s – an artist who should be right up there with Derek Bailey and Fred Frith – especially with groundbreaking work of this nature! Hans Reichel has a very unique approach to the electric – one that's both very deft on the ... (Jazz) read moreCD

(Includes box, both books and CD cases. Box has a small rip and marker on a bottom corner, and light wear in another - but is nice overall. CD for Regalia (with Lovens) is missing back artwork, but has book – back artwork is plain black anyway, no text.)
A solo performance – includes the lengthy three part title suite, "Erzulie Maketh Scent", plus much shorter performances of "Water" and "Stone". (Jazz) CD

One of the most powerful Cecil Taylor albums for FMP – a great set of duets with drummer Tony Oxley, and one that really brought Oxley's talents to the attention of a whole new generation!
