Joe McPhee & Paal Nilssen-Love

2013

""Red Sky comes from folk lore of sailorsill and farmers predicting or forecasting weather. I use it here as a metaphor for looking backward and forward at the saem time, remember the past (lest we be doomed to repeat it) but with an eye to the future. [...]" -Joe McPhee, from the liner notes."

Caffeine

2019

"In solidarity with the Movement for Black Lives, 100% of all funds raised from sales of this album will go to the One DC organization recommended by Catalytic artist Luke Stewart. The mission of One DC is "to exercise political strength to create and preserve racial and economic equity in Shaw and the District. We seek to create a community in DC that is equitable for all." (onedconline.org)."

Flow Trio

2009

""If there is a way—and there most certainly is—to feel music with all the senses, then Flow Trio, comprising saxophonist Louie Belogenis, bassist Joe Morris and percussionist Charles Downs, show how completely spectacular this can feel when it all comes together on a record such as Rejuvenation. The group, all seriously schooled in the poetics of sound, have literally mastered the way to fully explore the sound dynamic of saxophone, bass and drum, vertically- -for harmonic depth—and horizontally—to toy with the melodic elasticity." -Raul d'Gama Rose, All About Jazz"

Tim Daisy

2016

"This music is playfully serious and seriously inspired. It is obsessed with sonic juxtaposition, yet it is highly melodic. It wears its influences openly, yet it is refreshingly new. Born of improvisations, shaped into compositions, Daisy has written pieces that are sturdy, finely crafted morsels of musical experiences that the listener will return to again and again. —Tom Burris, Free Jazz Blog"

Joe McPhee / Michael Bisio / Raymond Boni / Paul Harding

2005

"The gods were smiling, and Joe McPhee, Michael Bisio, Raymond Boni, and Paul Harding were caught in concert in tip-top shape, revealing the power of sensitive, quality blowing. -Steve Loewy, All Music"

Ig Henneman Tentet

1995

""The Tentet lays out a silken, sumptuous ensemble sound, constructed from one composition to the next... which unfold at a leisurely pace into glorious peacock-feathers." –Erik van den Berg, Volkskrant"

Ken Vandermark & Fred Lonberg-Holm

2015

"Fred Lonberg-Holm and Ken Vandermark are like a small band on this album, tight, voluminous, ideally matched, often it seems as if the music was pre-composed (but all of it is freely improvised). The music is like a dance between a songbird (cello) and a belling deer (tenor saxophone), sometimes their energy literally collides. -Martin Schray, Free Jazz Blog"

Yannis Kyriakides

2013

"With Resorts & Ruins he returns to his native land (at least in spirit — he has long been based in Amsterdam) for a sound collage rumination on travel and childhood memories. The disc is filled with washes of sound, Turkish pop music and vague spoken instructions, seeming to collide the parallel confusions of memory and being away from home. -Kurt Gottschalk"

Thomas Johansson / Oyvind Storesund / Paal Nilssen-Love

2016

"The rhythm section of Nilssen-Love and Storesund keeps him on his toes, forcing him to adjust his ideas into the urgent, propulsive rhythm section that keeps shifting its rhythmic dynamics. Nilssen-Love and Storesund sound as a telepathic, inseparable unit, but wisely leaving enough space for Johanssen to deliver his commanding solos."

Paal Nilssen-Love Large Unit

2015

Marker

2018

"Where Wired for Sound felt fresh, youthful and surprising in so many aspects, this triple live album is a spectacular snapshot of how this group has progressed together – and is progressing together…  On ‘Accordéon’ they are staring down the abyss just like Mats Gustafsson’s Fire, combining a very heavy pulsating groove with fiery improvisation. Another emotion which must be balanced perfectly to not become a cliché, but they pull it off perfectly! On ‘French Dress’ I think Sudderberg brings his performance up at least one level, again together with the band and on ‘B Eiga’ the group performance is fantastically tight. The album ends but I want more! “ - Gustav Lundqvist Free Jazz Blog *****"

"The cheers of the crowd at the end jar me every time. It's such a perfect creation it's easy to forget this is was recorded in front of an audience. Bravo! - Tom Burris. The Free Jazz Collective"

"Percussion explorations made during lockdown/solo material made in a basement/drums, found objects, bells, plates, gongs/all acoustic/2020 sounds /new era improvisations/made in Evanston, il"

Trio X

2006

"These are pieces which the trio has often played before and they master the themes to perfection, yet still managing to bring them in a refreshingly innovative way. The same level, with recognizable themes throughout (Ellington, Monk), is kept up on the rest of the live album. The variation between serene pieces and intense passages, the technical mastery and the telepathic interplay of the three musicians, is absolutely stellar. The small crowd attending the performance is enthusiastic, and rightly so. This is what music is all about. Highly recommended. -Stef, Free Jazz Blog"

Frode Gjerstad Trio

2014

Corsano / Courvoisier / Wooley

2016

"The inventive trio wisely plays with textural agitations and composures, arranging them with freedom, responsibility, and an evident musical insight that makes them first-rate avant-gardists. -Jazz Trail"

Brandon Lopez

2020

"All funds raised from sales of this album will be donated to Aldea- The People's Justice Center (aldeapjc.org), an organization suggested by Brandon that "provides quality pro bono legal and social services to vulnerable detained and free immigrant populations throughout Pennsylvania, and offer universal pro bono representation to every family detained by ICE in the state. Aldea also participates in important and impactful litigation nationwide to protect immigrant children and their families. We will not give up until we free the families currently in ICE detention – together.""
