🔊 Excerpts of "Schobberdebonk” (Bocian Records / 2016) by @paalnilssenlove & Terrie Ex with their third duo album, following “Hurgu!” (PNL, 2011) and “Gored Gored” (Terp, 2013), and was recorded live at festival PiedNu at Le Havre ( @piednu_lehavre ), France on April 2015 - Available as a limited edition vinyl! 👉 Hit the Link in Bio

“Nilssen-Love knows how to employ Ex great skills as a rhythm guitarist, his role in The Ex. Ex is a rhythm guitarist with highly imaginative concept of rhythm and time like no one else, but nevertheless, one that thrive on a hard, massive pulse, exactly the kind that Nilssen-Love keeps feeding him. Ex does not surrender easily to Nilssen-Love rhythmic attacks. He tries to suggest abstract, minimalist soundscapes, counter the pulse with loose strategy of tension building, color it with weird noises or suddenly steer it to other directions. But, finally, he interlocks with Nilssen-Love powerful blows. Then the two are simply irresistible. Nothing can stop their wild ride that ends, true to The Ex legacy, with a quote of an Ethiopian dance." -Free Jazz Blog

“As many fans of the music will recognize, there can be something incredibly special about first-time encounters, and this was one of those sets. Exploring spiky counterpoints, turn-on-a-dime dynamics, and sputtering articulations, these two found an extraordinary common ground in the music. This limited release for Catalytic Sound supporters provides a quick glance into what will hopefully lead to more collaborations down the road! “

🎧 The album is also available for streaming at the Soundstream as part of the CAA section! 🎧

🚨 BAND SPOTLIGHT 🚨 — The DKV Trio is a powerhouse

🚨 BAND SPOTLIGHT 🚨 — The DKV Trio is a powerhouse of creative music and one of the most enduring and prolific groups in modern free jazz. Formed in the mid-1990s, the trio consists of three titans of the Chicago avant-garde scene: the relentlessly inventive saxophonist/clarinetist & composer @ken_vandermark , the foundational and versatile bassist Kent Kessler, and the legendary, dynamically expressive drummer Hamid Drake.

Their music is a masterclass in collective improvisation, seamlessly blending structured themes with explosive, high-energy freedom. Over decades, they have built a vast discography that showcases their profound musical communication, moving with telepathic understanding from ferocious, driving rhythms to moments of subtle, lyrical beauty. The DKV Trio is not just a band but an institution, representing the very heart of collaborative and exploratory jazz, including collaborations with Joe McPhee, @joemorrismusic , The Thing, AALY Trio & Fred Anderson.

🚨 NEW RELEASE on CD & DIGITAL 🚨 — The Outskirts (

🚨 NEW RELEASE on CD & DIGITAL 🚨 — The Outskirts ( @daverempis , @embrethooker & @frank_rosaly ) w/special guest: Marta Warelis

"The past, even without nostalgia, can light up the present, as do my fond memories of the April concert in Philadelphia 2020. So, although we may be walking through four feet of shit again in 2026, The Outskirts have arrived to provide the soundtrack one more time and to gift us a little warmth where there was none before.”

“Orbital is far from reactive or sentimental, however. The trio takes these songs and makes something new and strange out of them. See, for example, the 8:25 mark of “Strafe,” when Dave and Frank explore improvised atmospheric sounds, more searching than swinging. But Ingo, Rosaly, and Rempis honestly sound like they are having a blast on this record and, given a thematic basis for mood and timbre, the group launches ahead, driving, laughing, and transforming these old tunes.”

🚨 NEW ADDITION on CD & LP 🚨 — “In Chicken Shit Bin

🚨 NEW ADDITION on CD & LP 🚨 — “In Chicken Shit Bingo and Butterfly Mushroom, Brötzmann wanted to play on a new contra-alto clarinet he bought and @paalnilssenlove wanted to play on new Korean gongs he had not tried yet, and, obviously, their deep rapport was as strong and stimulating as ever. The music, as Brötzmann described it, has a definite contemplative and reflexive approach and is less aggressive, but the titles of the eight pieces are typical ones of Brötzmann.”

“Few drummers have kept such a long, friendly and productive relationship with Brötzmann. No doubt, Nilssen-Love had one of the most profound relationships with the great master and Butterfly Mushroom, like Chicken Shit Bingo, is a great testament to their unique connection." -Eyal Hareuveni, Free Jazz Blog

🔊 Excerpt of @ken_vandermark ’s “Open Border”, rel

🔊 Excerpt of @ken_vandermark ’s “Open Border”, released on @audiographicrecords in 2020 // The music defies musical conventions and boundary lines. Instead it focuses on a search for creative ground without categories. It is a recording of improvised music invented at the highest level, spontaneous and timeless, energized and austere, always exhilarating.

🔴 Pressed on 180g vinyl by @smashedplastic — Get it at the Link in Bio before it’s too late! 🔴

"Open Border is a beautiful, truly collaborative project between Ken Vandermark on reed instruments, @luceccarelli on electronics, Hamid Drake on drums and Gianni Trovalusci on flutes... Interplay between Drake and Vandermark stellar as always, as is the light and fluid section for flute and electronic sound, and graceful spoken vocalization leading everyone to come together for a elegant and memorable conclusion. This was a unique and very enjoyable album, taking three stellar instrumentalists and adding Ceccarelli to create electronic sound and process the other band members playing in real time to create a vibrant and rich performance that continuously moves in dynamic and spontaneous ways." -Tim Niland, Music and More, April 4, 2020
