Delayed... "Duke Ellington was one of the most important and influential figures in the entire history of jazz, as pianist, bandleader, composer and innovator, his career spanned the evolution from the early days of electric recording. However, while critics and commentators focus on his over-arching significance as a giant of the medium, it's easy to forget that he was a genius at composing tune and songs for the medium of the three-minute, 78rpm single, and during the first three decades of his career before rock 'n' roll changed the pop landscape irrevocably, he had more than 70 records that were credited as chart hits. The Duke himself preferred not to have his work referred to as 'jazz' but liked people to see it as he himself saw it, as being 'beyond category,' simply 'American music.' In a career lasting six decades, he attracted the very best musicians to his orchestras, and gifted to the world many of the jazz standards we know and love today This LP brings together some of his most iconic compositions, including timeless classics such as the Billboard R&B No.1 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore,' alongside stalwarts of the jazz canon 'Mood Indigo,' 'Sophisticated Lady,' 'Solitude,' 'Caravan,' 'Take The 'A' Train,' and 'It Don't Mean A Thing (If You Ain't Got That Swing).' It's a fantastic insight into his most successful output during a primary era of his career, and a great showcase for the artistry which made the Duke such a revered and iconic personality."

"Forget the boxes. Forget the rules. Just play. Two of the most compelling voices in modern jazz -- trumpeter Theo Croker and pianist Sullivan Fortner -- come together for a fearless duo album that strips everything down to pure, in-the-moment expression. No rehearsals. No pre-written compositions. No expectations. Just two master improvisers in total conversation, creating music that's alive, unfiltered, and utterly free. This is raw, boundary-breaking jazz at its most honest."

('Oleo') and John Coltrane ('Mr. P.C.'). His alto and soprano lines remain faithful to bop's core, yet each track brims with modern twists: a playful siren-like motif, a free soprano/drums duet, polytonal shifts in 'Oleo.' At its center, the title piece is a solo-sax tour de force: 'perpetual' via circular breathing, 'groove' from deep African-American roots, and echoes of Roland Kirk, Roscoe Mitchell, minimalism, and industrial sonorities. Watson's parallel work with Sam Rivers and the 29th Street Saxophone Quartet underscores his experimental drive. Joining Watson are three Italian talents -- Piero Bassini, Attilio Zanchi, and Giampiero Prina -- whose provincial origins belie their cosmopolitan artistry. Together, they embody jazz's global, boundary-crossing spirit. Though Watson reconvened them on later Red Records projects, Perpetual Groove remains singular in its vibrant blend of tradition, innovation, and international collaboration."

"Red Records, a prime example of how small, independent labels capitalize on unique opportunities, thrived due to its streamlined structure and emotionally driven decisions. Founded by promoter Alberto Alberti and jazz aficionado Sergio Veschi, the label built its reputation by capturing pivotal moments in Italian jazz and recording international artists like Sam Rivers, whose album The Quest became a classic. Their credibility and passion were key to earning artists' trust. The album Duo 'Bones', recorded on November 17, 1978, is a product of such seizing-the-moment intuition. Trombonists Kai Winding, a Danish-American on tour, and Dino Piana, an accomplished RAI Orchestra member, reunited in Rome after years apart. Their collaboration echoed Winding's earlier work with J.J. Johnson. The rhythm section -- Enrico Pieranunzi on piano, Giovanni Tommaso on bass, and Tullio De Piscopo on drums -- added youthful energy and groove to the session. Recorded at Emmequattro studio, the atmosphere was relaxed and spontaneous, leading to quick, joy-filled takes, mostly first attempts. The album's tracklist blends classics with originals: Winding's 'Duo 'Bones',' 'Lady H,' and 'Stop Following Me'; Piana's 'Kai and Dino'; Pieranunzi's 'Soul Dance.' The result is spirited jazz rich in swing, fast phrasing, and effortless counterpoints, delivering pure musical joy free of political overlays common at the time. Winding's affection for the project was clear. Months later, during a televised concert in Rome with the RAI Orchestra, he proudly mentioned the album and performed a big band arrangement of 'Duo 'Bones'' with Piana on stage -- an enduring nod to their serendipitous session."

"By inevitable coincidence, a street vendor in Buenos Aires became an instrument of providence, when he compelled attention of Christof Kurzmann, sitting outside a coffeehouse. His merchandise were small books of Hispanic writers, and the chosen one that ended up in the buyer's pocket some eighteen years ago was a collection of poems by Argentinean poet Alejandra Pizarnik. Her works abound with music and sounds or absence of it, appreciating silence. For Kurzmann, this served as a sufficient reason to dive into her writings, which resulted in releasing El Infierno Musical: a tribute to Alejandra Pizarnik in the fall of 2011. El Infierno Musical was a quintet started back in 2008 thanks to a wild card given to Kurzmann as a birthday present by the organizers of Music Unlimited festival in Wels, Austria, which hosted its official premiere. For the 50th day of death of Alejandra Pizarnik Kurzmann brought El Infierno Musical back to life again, worked on new material and changed the line-up of the band in which only he himself and Ken Vandermark are left from the founding formation. Dave Rempis -- long-time friend on saxophone, as well as Chicago Symphony Orchestra member Katinka Kleijn who together with another great Chicago-Scene musician Lia Kohl share the role of the cellists in the band. And to round the fresh line-up off, young drummer, percussionist Lily Finnegan completes the newly created Sextet. The music brings a clear structure filled with improvised parts, masterly played by perfectly coordinated musicians, who take advantage of their miscellaneous musical histories and styles."

"Norwegian trumpeter and sonic architect Nils Petter Molvaer presents Khmer Live in Bergen -- a charged reinvention of his era-defining 1997 ECM release Khmer -- recorded in concert in 2023. Fused with live trip-hop beats, ambient haze and Nordic lyricism, Khmer Live in Bergen amplifies a new energy with deeper grooves, sharper edges and greater dynamic intensity, pushing the music into a rawer, driven by experience, control and creative vision. Performed with a newly expanded band and released on Edition Records, Khmer Live in Bergen captures the volatile electricity of Molvaer's live sound -- fluid, restless and saturated with feeling. The album is a powerful reminder that his sound remains vital, forceful and fully alive -- constantly evolving with greater clarity, depth and intent."

"If you listen to nature, all the sounds are done in a confident way. I'm trying to do that. In these turbulent times, it may be worth reconsidering the few solutions offered by the art and know-how of improvisation, of the activity of improvisation. To do so, it may be necessary to start by deconstructing common sense; to start by taking improvisation not as an 'approximation' but as a method, a method of working collectively par excellence, for building situations in dialogue, in responsiveness and interactivity, in inclusiveness and, at the end, creativity. Improvisation is an articulated and articulatory knowledge, which coordinates orders and disorders more than it imposes an order. Improvisation is the art of conversation, of listening to each other, through all the particular languages of the forces at play, and through a common language that is always in the making. The air that comes out of a wind instrument, the one that comes out of the holes in a drum, the idea of this breath that expands, unravels, overlaps, becomes continuous, until it fades away. Roscoe Mitchell and Michele Rabia are made for each other, because they've always made everything audible in their respective music and improvisations. You can hear everything on the percussion of one, the slightest contact, the slightest clash, the slightest impact, and meteor showers on the resonant skins, on the resonant metals. The other's saxophones are like horns of plenty: the slightest breath, the slightest murmur, the slightest clamor, the scratches and welts. Together, they redefine the form and content of duets and dialogue, what exactly is a network connection and a disconnection; they rethink all forms of communication in music."

Flur is the meeting of Austrian-Ethiopian harpist Miriam Adefris, British saxophonist Isaac Robertson, and percussionist Dillon Harrison. The trio met when studying separate music courses at Goldsmiths, University of London. Immersed in the explorative music scene surrounding the university, they have played in various formations over the past few years and collaborated with acclaimed artists (Ganavya, Floating Points, Gal Go, Shabaka), but it wasn't until now that they formed Flur. Shaped between Riverside Recording Studios and a South Bermondsey warehouse, Plunge captures the trio's first steps, moving between written passages and intuitive improvisation with equal clarity. Drawing on contemporary classical, free jazz, and ambient influences -- think Alice Coltrane, Ambrose Akinmusire, Kaija Saariaho, Azimuth, and Angel Bat Dawid -- the trio's instrumentation creates a sound that is both expansive and intimate. Plunge follows Latency's acclaimed releases with Nidia & Valentina, Emahoy Tsege-Mariam Gebru, goat (jp), Tarta Relena, and Moritz Von Oswald, expanding the label's commitment to boundary-pushing music. The album features cover artwork by Julie Mehretu, the renowned New York-based, Ethiopian-American artist whose layered, abstract cartographies explore the entanglements of history, place, and collective memory.

The Keith Tippett Group's Dedicated to You, But You Weren't Listening is a landmark in cutting edge fusion/avant-jazz. A vital and profoundly adventurous jazz-rock record that still swings hard, it was first released on Vertigo in 1971. Original copies are now very tricky to score and, as most of you really should know, it's aged ridiculously well. The stunning gatefold jacket fully restores Roger and Martyn Dean's original, arresting album artwork to complete this must-have reissue. Alive and bursting with a joyful energy that has to be heard to be believed, Dedicated to You, But You Weren't Listening flirts with perfection. It's truly magical and forever essential. A brilliant jazz pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader "who could make the outlands of modern music feel like the most hospitable of places" (The Guardian), Keith Tippett's second album is oft-regarded as his Canterbury album. Indeed, not only does he draw heavily on Soft Machine members past, present and future but the album title itself archly references a Soft Machine composition. Ray Babbington handles bass alongside Neville Whitehead and the drums are shared between Brian Spring, Robert Wyatt, and Phil Howard. Gary Boyle is on guitar whilst the great percussionist Tony Uter is enlisted for his conga and cow bell expertise. Elton Dean on alto saxello, cornetist Marc Charig and Nick Evans on trombone round out this quite stunning ensemble. Dedicated to You, But You Weren't Listening presents a collective of superhuman musicians enjoying themselves in the studio. The sheer exuberance of the performance is totally infectious. It's wild, energetic, atmospheric and, bluntly, bordering on chaotic at points. In a word, it's beautiful. This Be With edition of Dedicated to You, But You Weren't Listening has been re-mastered from the original Vertigo master tapes, Simon Francis' mastering working together with Cicely Balston's cut at Abbey Road Studios to weave their usual magic with these wonderful recordings.

"Ratko Zjaca is back with a very distinctive world music project that finds the Croatian-born guitarist and long-time resident of Rotterdam interacting with musicians from Romania, England and India. The results of his 18th outing as a leader or co-leader are staggeringly beautiful and full of improvisational daring. Joined by Romanian cimbalom player Marius Preda, who is widely regarded as the world's first jazz soloist on that trapezoidal stringed instrument that is the distant cousin of a hammered dulcimer, along with British-born upright bassist Nick McGuire and the innovative, groundbreaking percussionist Trilok Gurtu, Zjaca and his interactive crew strike an uncanny accord on the eight delightful originals presented on Touching Minds. With Zjaca bringing in all the compositions and Preda doing the arranging, they recruited McGuire for his rock-solid fundamental bass work. They next brought in Bombay-born Gurtu, an acclaimed master of the tabla who has also developed an abundance of chops over the decades on a hybrid drumming kit he designed and pioneered through his collaborations with John McLaughlin, Joe Zawinul, Bill Laswell, Jonas Hellborg, Jack Bruce, Terje Rydpal, Oregon, the Arkè String Quartet and many others. Throughout Touching Minds, Gurtu brings the groove while also coloring the proceedings with nuanced shadings. 'I wanted a new sound for this album and the tabla and cimbalom together moved it all to a new spectrum. And when you have two of world's best players on their respective instruments, which Trilok and Marius are, you have some very special ingredients to make some incredible music,' Zjaca says. While he may have soaked up the influences of countless guitarists he has listened to and emulated at different times over the years, from Joe Pass and Jim Hall to John McLaughlin and Pat Metheny, he described his guiding principle throughout Touching Minds as: 'I play what I hear and what the music asks of me at that moment.'"

Sdban Records presents the first official reissue of Coal Mining, the 1978 debut album by Dutch jazz pianist René van Helsdingen. This album marks a significant milestone -- the beginning of van Helsdingen's decades-spanning career as an innovative and independent musician. Born in 1957 in Jakarta, Indonesia, but holding Dutch nationality, René van Helsdingen began classical piano studies in the Netherlands in the early 1960s. Coal Mining was originally released on Munich Records, a respected Dutch jazz and roots label founded by music producer and musician Job Zomer. The album features a blend of jazz influences from giants such as Oscar Peterson, McCoy Tyner, and Bill Evans, and showcases van Helsdingen's distinctive voice as a composer and pianist at the very start of his professional journey. The record includes contributions from a rich ensemble of musicians, including Wim Essed (bass), Klaus Flenter (guitar), Børge Ring (double bass), Henk Zomer (drums), Martijn Nesenberend (drums), Dick Pluim (bass), and even a student orchestra formed during van Helsdingen's time at Delft University. Coal Mining is both a literal and symbolic title. It alludes not only to van Helsdingen's brief academic past, but to the depth and labor of jazz creation itself: layered, gritty, and forged under pressure. A year after the album's release, van Helsdingen moved to Los Angeles to continue his jazz studies. While living in Hollywood, he shared a house with future musical collaborators including Kent Brinkley, Essiet Okon Essiet, Brian Batie, John Rigby, Edmond Allmond, David Best and John Butler. Even in the early stages of his career, van Helsdingen displayed the entrepreneurial spirit that would define his path, self-releasing albums and even pioneering an early form of crowdfunding by selling 400 ad spaces on a record sleeve to finance an LP project. After his jazz studies in Los Angeles, he performed extensively in Europe, Canada, the U.S. Australia and Asia, often traveling with his own "Stage bus," which housed both a stage and instruments. In August 2018, van Helsdingen was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Despite the physical challenges brought on by the condition, he continues to perform and compose music. His openness about the diagnosis -- shared publicly in a 2019 documentary -- has helped raise awareness of Parkinson's and the role of creativity and improvisation as tools for resilience. Now, nearly five decades after its initial release, Coal Mining is finally receiving a well-deserved reissue. Introducing a new generation of listeners to the raw talent and visionary beginnings of a true European jazz original.

WRWTFWW Records presents the official reissue of Safari's self-titled album from 1984. The Japanese jazz-fusion super gem is available as a limited-edition transparent vinyl LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve with obi. Originally released on fabled label VAP, Safari is a one-of-a-kind city pop-adjacent summer blend of AOR, smooth jazz, and sun-drenched boogie. The sole album from the all-star outfit was the brainchild of keyboardist Toshiyuki Daitoku and Japan-based Californian jazz-funk-Latin-fusion bassist Gregg Lee. Together with a large team of experienced musicians, they created a lush, immaculately-arranged 8-track cruise filled with poolside grooves, breezy rhythms, and feel-good vocal harmonies. Safari features the well-known title track which acted as the theme song for an '80s sports program on Fuji Television, the night-swim chill music tune 'All Right in The Night,' and the fan-favorite buoyant vacation hit 'The Morning After.' The official reissue is fully licensed and sourced from the original masters, with an audiophile cut by Sidney Meyer at Emil Berliner Studios, ensuring the warm, pristine sound this lost treasure deserves. Safari is the second release from WRWTFWW's City Pop Series, following Momoko Kikuchi's beach classic Ocean Side. The series, complete with a visual identity designed by Lopetz/Büro Destruct, also comes with a limited merch capsule, and more sun-soaked gems lined up for the future.

Emerging from the depths of private-press obscurity, The People's People Present The Spirit of David is a remarkable testament to the ambition and discipline of its creators. This singular album, originally recorded in 1974 and released in 1976, marks the first original work by tenor saxophonist Jeff Jones, who also arranged, wrote, and conceptualized the project. That same year, Jones founded The People's People collective and The Voice of the People Publishing Company, using music and the arts as a platform to give voice to the voiceless. Performed in one continuous take, The Spirit of David weaves spiritual jazz with elements of soul, world music, and electric funk, producing a hypnotic, emotive soundscape that resonates with the era's social unrest and a longing for unity and transcendence. The band -- featuring Emmons Porter on bass vocals, Jack Spinovich on drums, Leonard Franklin on guitar, Ray Vega on percussion and congas (not the trumpeter of the same name), and Steve Espanosa on piano -- delivers a deeply cohesive and textured performance that transcends its time. Now reissued by Frederiksberg Records -- a label founded in 2013 by Danish video journalist Andreas Vingaard in New York -- the album's elusive history only deepens its mystique, inviting renewed exploration. That mystique is further illuminated in the extensive story found on the album insert, written by guitarist and composer Karl Evangelista, whose detailed liner notes provide essential context and insight into the album's creation and cultural significance. From the liner notes by Karl Alfonso Defensor Evangelista: "(Jeff) Jones had musicians commit to three years of preparation, and he was a harsh taskmaster; music was drilled -- 'like the army,' as Jones describes it. Participants were more or less forbidden from taking paying gigs in the interim, and the bandleader, saving most of his capital for studio time, could not afford to feed or pay the band. The ensemble was so thoroughly rehearsed by the time of the session that the entire record was performed in one take, and the album's myriad breaks and deft orchestration changes were accomplished without visual cues."

Liv Andrea Hauge Trio presents its third album, Døgnville, on Norwegian label Hubro. The record explores the feeling of being "døgnvill" a Norwegian term describing the sensation of being out of sync with time and reality, like during jet lag or insomnia. The music inhabits this liminal space between structure and freedom, consciousness and dream. Half of the compositions were written while pianist and composer Liv Andrea Hauge was bedridden with a high fever in a semi lucid, dreamlike state. The other half emerged ahead of the trio's European tour in autumn 2024. The result is a fusion of fresh inspiration and songs shaped and seasoned through live performance a record rooted in both spontaneity and maturation. Since forming in 2022, the trio Liv Andrea Hauge (piano), Georgia Wartel Collins (bass) and August Glännestrand (drums) has become a compelling voice in modern acoustic jazz. With extensive touring across Norway and internationally, and two previous album releases, the band has cultivated a strong, intuitive musical chemistry. Døgnville reflects this presenting a sound that is more serious and contemplative than earlier works.

180g vinyl LP. Includes a 24-page risograph printed publication and a print with works by Tokyo-based photographer Daisuke Tomizawa. Pianist Masako Ohta and trumpet player Matthias Lindermayr are back on Squama with Nozomi, the follow-up to their 2022 debut MMMMH (SQM 018CD). The Japanese title, which translates to "hope," felt fitting, as the album was conceived during a time of personal loss for Ohta, during and after which music proved itself as a beacon of hope. The music on Nozomi unfolds gently, with Lindermayr's airy tone and lyrical playing being wrapped in Ohta's chordal backing that moves from tender to tense and back over the course of the album. While most tunes were written by Lindermayr, the only exception being an interpretation of Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Hibari," the arrangements are largely improvised, letting the duo's intuition guide the course and build the form. Solemn slowness has become a signature trait of the Munich-based duo and it makes listening to their new record a healing retreat from the frantic chatter of the present.

"Consecration I is a posthumous live album by the legendary jazz pianist Bill Evans. The recordings were captured during Evans' final performances at the Keystone Korner in San Francisco between August 31 and September 7, 1980. Consecration 1 showcases Evans' signature introspective style, blending lyrical phrasing with intricate harmonic progressions. The album features Evans alongside bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joe LaBarbera, forming a trio that delivered deeply expressive interpretations of jazz standards and original compositions. Tracks like 'You and the Night And the Music,' 'Emily,' and 'Someday My Prince Will Come' highlight Evans' delicate touch and masterful improvisation."

Originally released in 1962, Takin' Off marked Herbie Hancock's debut as a leader, showcasing his balance of sophistication and accessibility. While influenced by Horace Silver's hard bop, Hancock's style was lighter, more cerebral, and adventurous in its harmonies. The album includes the iconic "Watermelon Man," which became a jazz standard after its hit cover by Mongo Santamaria. Other highlights include the introspective "Alone and I," the minor-key "The Maze," and the bluesy "Empty Pockets." Backed by Freddie Hubbard, Dexter Gordon, Butch Warren, and Billy Higgins, this debut laid the foundation for Hancock's future innovations in jazz.

"Recorded in Italy in 1985, this is a valuable record of a unique trio -- saxophonist Larry Stabbins, pianist Keith Tippett, and drummer Louis Moholo-Moholo -- playing at the very top of their game. Larry Stabbins, after years of playing with many of the greatest improvising musicians of the '60s and '70s (John Stevens, Chris McGregor, Keith Tippett, Mike Westbrook, Tony Oxley etc) had recently exploded onto the pop world with the bands Weekend and Working Week and was quite famous in Italy. Not to be outdone, Louis Moholo-Moholo turned up to this gig in full 'warpaint' and all three play like the clappers. Both Louis and Keith are in their prime here, and the level of playing by all three is off the scale."
