🚨 NEW ADDITION on CD 🚨 — “From a night of music in

🚨 NEW ADDITION on CD 🚨 — “From a night of music in Holland that's become legendary among NRG Ensemble enthusiasts, Hold That Thought presents a blazing concert of the quintet's unique sound. With Mars Williams and @ken_vandermark on reeds, Kent Kessler and @soundstrom on basses (the latter doubling on trumpet and electric guitar), and @stevehunt761 on drums, this incarnation of the band was arguably its tightest and mightiest, taking the inspiration of founder Hal Russell (1926-1992) and running with it.”

🔊 Excerpts of "Schobberdebonk” (Bocian Records / 2

🔊 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.

🔸Enjoy their entire dicography at the Soundstream 🌻 Know more at the Link in Bio.
