Rob Mazurek Quartet

Father's Wing

RogueArt

“Father’s Wing is a tribute to Mazurek’s late father. Through an hour of music dispersed amongst nine tracks, the quartet beautifully connects to the other side.”

Chris Corsano / David Maranha & Richard Youngs

Corsano, Maranha & Youngs

Improved Sequence Records

“If you’re reading this and know the incredible careers of Chris Corsano (US), David Maranha (PT) and Richard Youngs (UK) you can already imagine what you’re getting into… or maybe not.”

Teip Trio

Teip Trio

Sonic Transmissions Records

“"[...] their interactions are buffered with expanses of empty space - no matter how frantically the woodwind belches or the strings grind, balance is maintained. TEIP TRIO are not the first group to import heavy rock elements into free music, but no one else has found a way to lose the weight without losing the edge." - Bill Meyer, The Wire”

Barry Guy / Mats Gustafsson / Raymond Strid

You Forget to Answer

Maya Recordings

“"... Together their Maya date is a whirlwind of activity; sounds rattle and moan in a fog of urgent details. Their lightning-quick attacks provoke a firestorm of spontaneous devlopment and continual realignment. The excitement is palpable." —Art Lange”

The Bureau of Atomic Tourism

Eden

Rat Records / Werkplaats Walter

“The caustic blast that opens Eden says it all: The Bureau Of Atomic Tourism is back. It has been four years since Hapax Legomena, but the sextet sounds as inspired and sharp as ever, leaving no doubts about their status as a considerable force in avant-garde jazz.”

Jaap Blonk

111 Recipes

Kontrans

““111 Recipes” contains reprints of the 11 “Secret Recipes”, followed by the 100 drawings I made for the above-mentioned book. All of the drawings contain scribbles in my personal script, which started out with the International Phonetic Alphabet and over the years developed into a no-longer-functional (‘secret’) notation system." — Jaap Blonk, February 2019”
