RELEASE DATE: 9/11/2026
Wewantsounds presents the first-ever international release of the legendary collaboration between Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) and Don Cherry, featuring Carlos Ward. Recorded live in 1972 at Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, this highly sought-after album was originally released exclusively in Japan in 1974 on the cult jazz label Trio Records via its revered Nadja imprint. An essential chapter in the musicians' discographies, the performance masterfully blends jazz with rich South African rhythms and global influences. This long-awaited edition features fully remastered audio, the original Japanese artwork, and a four-page booklet with new bilingual liner notes (English/French) by Jacques Denis. The Third World-Underground captures a rare convergence of three singular musical voices: Don Cherry's nomadic imagination, Abdullah Ibrahim's deeply rooted South African lyricism, and Carlos Ward's muscular alto saxophone. By 1972 when this magical album was recorded, Cherry and Ibrahim had already spent a decade redefining jazz by pushing beyond its foundations and embracing a broader, global musical language. Cherry was in constant search of new musical pathways. Drawing inspiration from the traditional sounds of Turkey, India, Africa, and beyond, he cultivated a fluid, borderless approach that expanded far beyond the trumpet, incorporating voice, percussion, and communal improvisation into his work. Ibrahim brought an equally profound sensibility. A spiritual heir to Duke Ellington, shaped by Cape Town gospel, township jive, and the emotional weight of exile, he transformed the piano into an instrument capable of both celebration and lament. Having first crossed paths in the mid-1960s, the musicians shared a deep mutual affinity that culminated in this performance. Recording under a name that reflected the era's growing decolonization movements, the trio created a fearless, boundary-defying statement across seven hypnotic pieces. The music unfolds as a continuous conversation: Ibrahim's cyclical piano figures provide an emotional foundation while Cherry and Ward drift, soar, and chant in ecstatic unison, searching collectively for new ground. Originally released in Japan in 1974 on Trio Records, the album was never reissued on vinyl, gradually attaining cult status among collectors and fans of Don Cherry and Dollar Brand alike. Freed from convention, The Third World-Underground remains a restless and deeply human work of collective discovery whose resonance continues to unfold with every listen.

"Beyond the Beat is the debut album of Arthur Fussy (modular synthesizer) and Judith Schwarz (extended drums). Both make up 2/3 of the group Other:M:Other whose debut album was released on Klanggalerie. Arthur also works a lot for the theatre, and Judith plays in many bands, amongst others Gina Schwarz's Pannonica, Mel*E, PRCDR with Manu Mayr (another Klanggalerie release), ChuffDrone, and Little Rosies Kindergarten. Beyond the Beat is a rhythmic affair. Where does a bear start? When do the brain and conscience recognize a pattern? How abstract can a beat be to still be recognizable by the listener? Is rhythm a melody? Beyond the Beat explore the borders of rhythm and beat in a symbiosis of acoustic and electronic sounds. Get into their groove and marvel at the players virtuosity. An absolutely essential album at the border of jazz, electronic and avantgarde."

Carefully remastered and restored by Gilles Laujol. Graphic design by Stefan Thanneur. Comes in heavyweight 180gr LP. 425gm brown board outer sleeve with four-page portfolio. At the beginning of the 1960s, at the Berklee College of Music, Byard Lancaster met some feisty friends: Sonny Sharrock, Dave Burrell and Ted Daniel. It is easy to see why he rapidly became involved in free jazz. Once he was settled in New York, he appeared on Sunny Murray Quintet, recorded under the leadership of the drum crazy colleague of Albert Ayler. In 1968, the saxophonist and flutist recorded his first album under his own name: It's Not Up To Us. The following year he came to Paris in the wake of Sunny Murray. He would come back to France in 1971 (again with Murray) and in 1973 (without Murray for a change). This is when he met Jef Gilson, the pianist and producer who encouraged him to record under his own name again. On Palm Records (Gilson's label), he would release four albums: Us, Mother Africa, Exactement, and Funny Funky Rib Crib. Funny Funky Rib Crib is an unforgettable recording (made up of several sessions dating from the middle of 1974) of creative jazz overwhelmed by funk and soul. If Lancaster had already made successful albums in the same genre -- notably New Horizons, under the name Sounds Of Liberation which he co-led with Khan Jamal -- this one is an homage to James Brown and Sammy Davis, enjoying the company of a host of guests including François Tusques (electric piano), Clint Jackson III (trumpet), François Nyombo (guitar), and Joseph Traindl (trombone). Funny Funky Rib Crib's cover is a three-quarter profile portrait of the saxophonist (who can also be heard on flute, piano and even vocals), however, on the record, it is the whole group, inspired and frenetic, that tests the melodies of "Just Test," "Dogtown," or "Rib Crib" -- the two versions of which display leader Lancaster's art of nuance. On both sides of the album, the group also moves into a calmer groove, infused by blues and soul, "Work And Pray" and "Loving Kindness" are meditative tracks where listeners can lay back and relax before asking for more.

"Landscapes of Eternity is the profound result of a spiritual and musical quest undertaken by Naïssam Jalal across North India. After months spent walking sacred landscapes and studying under the legendary bansuri master Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, the artist presents a repertoire where classical Hindustani music meets a deeply personal, contemporary vision. The album unfolds as a sonic tapestry, with each piece rooted in a specific Raga -- the melodic modes of Indian classical music -- corresponding to a particular time of day or sun position. From the dawn echoes of 'In the Rice Fields at Dawn' to the introspective 'Inner Landscape in Raag Kafi,' the music is anchored by the warm, enveloping harmonics of the tanpura. Naïssam Jalal's flute becomes the vehicle for this voyage, supported by a distinctive line-up featuring sarod, tablas, piano, and drums. Born from a period of extreme personal transformation, this project explores the capacity of time to accommodate eternity. Inspired by the 15th-century mystic poet Kabir and the philosophy of Alain Badiou, the work navigates the space between suffering and surrender, finding a state of inner peace where the self dissolves into the environment. More than a jazz or world music record, Landscapes of Eternity is a hymn of praise and gratitude. It is an invitation to a new way of listening to the world -- a song of prayer to the spirit that saves, and a vibrant testament to a wounded but resilient heart."

Carefully remastered and restored by Gilles Laujol. Graphic design by Stefan Thanneur. Heavyweight 180gr double LP. 425gm brown board gatefold outer sleeve with four-page portfolio. At the beginning of the 1960s, at the Berklee College of Music, Byard Lancaster met some feisty friends: Sonny Sharrock, Dave Burrell and Ted Daniel. It is easy to see why he rapidly became involved in free jazz. Once he was settled in New York, he appeared on Sunny Murray Quintet, recorded under the leadership of the drum crazy colleague of Albert Ayler. In 1968, the saxophonist and flutist recorded his first album under his own name: It's Not Up To Us. The following year he came to Paris in the wake of Sunny Murray. He would come back to France in 1971 (again with Murray) and in 1973 (without Murray for a change). This is when he met Jef Gilson, the pianist and producer who encouraged him to record under his own name again. On Palm Records (Gilson's label), he would release four albums: Us, Mother Africa, Exactement and Funny Funky Rib Crib. The recording of Exactement required two sessions in the studio: February 1st and May 18th 1974 -- in between the two dates, Lancaster recorded, alongside Clint Jackson, the excellent "Mother Africa." Two names appear on the cover of Exactement: Lancaster (Byard) and Speller (Keno). Byard Lancaster wanted to be precise, moving regularly from one instrument to another: first on piano, which was the first instrument he learned. On "Sweet Evil Miss Kisianga," his inspiration is first and foremost Coltrane (even if leaning more towards Alice than John), this announces the storm to follow. It is Lancaster's horn-playing which really stands out: on alto (the sound of which is transformed by an octavoice on one track, "Dr. Oliver W. Lancaster") or soprano saxophones, as well as on flute or bass clarinet, the musician walks a tightrope making the most of all the risks he takes. Using the full register of his instruments, he has fun with the possibilities. Then, Lancaster invokes or evokes Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy and even Prokofiev, before going into a danse alongside Keno Speller on percussion. Above all, he has a unique sound. Byard Lancaster, on whatever instrument he plays and by continually seeking, always ends up hitting the right note -- ends up by playing exactement the note he had to play.

"Coleman Hawkins, widely known as 'Hawk,' was one of the most important and influential figures in jazz history. He single-handedly established the tenor saxophone as a major solo instrument, transforming it from a novelty into a powerful and expressive voice. The period from 1937 to 1948 was particularly crucial for Hawkins, as he returned from Europe and entered his most productive years, bridging the gap between the structured swing era and the improvisational freedom of bebop. Hawk's Flight: 1937-48 is a definitive collection that showcases the soaring artistry of a true jazz master. It features his most iconic and revered recording, the breathtakingly beautiful 'Body & Soul,' which remains a masterpiece of lyrical improvisation. The album highlights his versatility with classic standards like 'Honeysuckle Rose,' 'Stardust,' and 'She's Funny That Way,' as well as his groundbreaking forays into bebop, captured on tracks like 'Disorder At The Border' and 'Picasso.' The collection masterfully documents the evolution of jazz through the work of one of its greatest soloists. Tracks like 'Riffitide' and 'Stuffy' demonstrate his rhythmic ingenuity and sophisticated improvisational style, while the swinging 'Crazy Rhythm' and 'Voodte' show his enduring command of the swing idiom. With timeless renditions of 'The Man I Love' and 'April In Paris,' alongside bebop-inflected numbers like 'Bean & The Boys,' this collection is an essential document of a jazz genius at the very peak of his powers."

Originally released in 2003, With A Heartbeat brings together Pharoah Sanders, Bill Laswell, and Graham Haynes in a collaboration that remains as elusive as it is forward-thinking. Now reissued by Glossy Mistakes, the album receives its first official vinyl remastered edition. At the core of the record lies an unusual but striking element: the steady pulse of a human heartbeat. Rather than a conceptual gesture, it becomes the foundation of the music itself -- treated as a deep, bass-like rhythm that anchors the entire album. Around it, Laswell builds his unmistakable sonic world, drawing from dub techniques where basslines expand, dissolve, and re-emerge, and where space becomes as important as sound. Across its extended compositions, the album unfolds slowly and deliberately. Layers of electric sitar, guitar, keyboards and subtle percussion drift in and out, creating a fluid, almost tidal movement. The heartbeat remains present throughout, grounding even the most abstract passages in something physical and immediate. At the center stands Sanders' saxophone-searching, expansive, and deeply spiritual. His playing moves freely across the structures, at times echoing the lineage of John Coltrane, while also reaching beyond it. Alongside him, Haynes adds a complementary voice, weaving through the shifting textures. The result is a work that resists easy definition: part spiritual jazz, part future-facing experiment, shaped by dub's sense of space and transformation. Meditative, immersive, and deeply rhythmic, With A Heartbeat unfolds like a living organism-guided not by fixed tempo, but by the pulse of life itself. With this release, Glossy Mistakes continues its work of bringing essential and forward-thinking recordings into new formats, preserving their depth while opening them to new listeners.

"Art Blakey is one of the greatest jazz drummers and first made name for himself in the 1940s when working with bebop musicians Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Fletcher Henderson. In the mid-1950s, he formed The Jazz Messengers together with Horace Silver, which quickly became known as an incubator for young talent. 35 years after forming The Jazz Messengers, Blakey entered his final year still at it, and with the many promising young players around the time, he expanded the collective from its usual quintet or sextet into a septet for this fine recording session, which includes 'Brain Stormin'' and 'Kenji's Walk.' Due to Blakey constantly persuading his musicians to write music, The Jazz Messengers stayed young in spirit, just like its leader. Chippin' In features Javon Jackson and Dale Barlow, and is available as a limited edition on white colored vinyl and affixed on the protective sleeve is the 50th Anniversary Timeless Jazz sticker."

"A master of lyrical expression and harmonic elegance, Kenny Barron has long been regarded as one of jazz's most distinguished pianists. Born in Philadelphia in 1943, Barron's journey through the jazz world reads like a tour of its greatest innovators: early work with James Moody, Roy Haynes, and a formative tenure in Dizzy Gillespie's quintet set the stage for a career defined by sophistication, depth, and unmistakable melodic clarity. Through the 1960s and '70s, Barron became a sought-after collaborator, performing with Freddie Hubbard, Jimmy Owens, Yusef Lateef, Milt Jackson, Jimmy Heath, and Stan Getz. His role in the celebrated ensemble Sphere, alongside Buster Williams, Ben Riley, and Charlie Rouse, further cemented his reputation as a musician equally rooted in bebop tradition and forward-looking modernism. Recorded in October 1984, Landscape captures Barron at a moment of profound artistic maturity. Joined by Cecil McBee on bass and Al Foster on drums, this intimate trio session reveals the full breadth of Barron's expressive range. The album includes the traditional 'Hush-A-Bye,' 'Spring Is Here' and two Kenny Barron originals 'Calypso' and 'Sunset.' Landscape by the Kenny Barron Trio is a 40th anniversary edition, contains newly written liner-notes by Timeless Jazz founders Wim & Ria Wigt. Affixed on the sleeve is the 50th Anniversary Timeless sticker."

"A rare moment in jazz history is captured on this exceptional live recording from July 1978, featuring saxophonist Eric Kloss and pianist Barry Miles at the peak of their creative powers. What unfolded on stage at the Bürgerzentrum Neue Vahr in Bremen, Germany was nothing short of extraordinary, a performance that critics immediately hailed as one of the finest duo concerts ever heard in the city. Their appearance at the Berliner Jazztage only reinforced this acclaim, with reviewers praising the duo's remarkable interplay, intensity, and artistic daring. Barry Miles, a pioneering force in early jazz fusion, began his musical life as a drummer before switching to piano at nineteen. His technical brilliance and expressive sensitivity shine throughout this recording, performed entirely on acoustic grand piano. Shortly after these duo performances, Miles would embark on a fifteen-year tenure as musical director for Roberta Flack. Eric Kloss, blind from birth, devoted himself wholly to music. He recorded his first album for Prestige at the astonishing age of sixteen and later collaborated with giants such as Chick Corea, Dave Holland, and Jack DeJohnette. His alto saxophone work here is a testament to why he is considered one of the most gifted improvisers of his generation. On Kloss Ecounters, (Live in Bremen 1978), the duo performs self-composed tracks such as 'Mystic Circles,' 'Kloss Encounters,' 'Michelle' and the standard 'My One And Only Love' written by Guy Wood and Robert Mellin. Kloss Encounters, (Live in Bremen 1978), stands as one of the great duo recordings in jazz and is available as a first-ever on vinyl release and includes new liner-notes by Timeless Records founder Wim Wigt. Affixed on the protective sleeve is the 50th Anniversary Timeless Jazz sticker."

"French tenor saxophonist and jazz composer Barney Wilen is best known for his contributions to soundtracks and has worked amongst jazz giants as Miles Davis, Art Blakey, and Thelonious Monk. In 1989, he recorded French Story at Studio 44 in The Netherlands together with the Mal Waldron Trio, consisting of the jazz pianist Mal Waldron>, Stafford James on bass, and Eddie Moore on drums. They recorded eight jazz compositions from classic French movies, Julien Dans L'Ascenseur/Florence Sur Les Champs-Elysées and Générique amongst others. Miles Davis' original composition 'Julien Dans L'Ascenseur/Florence Sur Les Champs-Eylsées' comes from his famous album Ascenseur Pour L'échafaud and 'Les Feuilles Mortes (Autumn Leaves)' origins from the French film Les Portes de la Nuit which is one of Yves Montand's classic chansons and 'Un Homme Et Une Fille' is a classic French movie theme. Wilen's album was released in 1990 on the Dutch jazz label Timeless Records. In 1992, the album first appeared on vinyl, but only consisted of six tracks. The full album is being reissued in its entirety and includes the tracks 'No Problem' and 'Quiet Temple.' French Story (Movie Themes From France) is available as a 2LP on black vinyl and affixed on the protective sleeve is the 50th Anniversary Timeless Jazz sticker."

We Release Jazz continues its collaboration with Belgian jazzman Casimir Liberski with another Zelda-themed rendition, following his celebrated Z Suites album. This time it's a full-on live session -- Casimir Libersk ReTRio's Zelda Suites (The Live Album) is a heroic Hyrule jazz adventure available in half speed mastered DLP in a heavyweight sleeve with obi. Casimir Liberski reimagines the golden era of video game soundtracks with live jazz versions of Zelda favorites The Legend of Zelda (1986), A Link to the Past (1991), Link's Awakening (1993), and Oscarina of Time (1998) -- and tons of Easter eggs! Dancing between nostalgia and avantgarde, the Brussels-born pianist and composer crafts a sonic world of pixelated folklore where melody and improvisation coexist in harmony. Zelda Suites (The Live Album) is the origin story of Liberski's acclaimed Z Suites album. He explains: "The live recording of Zelda Suites (The Live Album) preceded the studio recording that later comprised ReTRio's first album. This live recording was captured at the end of a tour in Germany and Belgium, in Osnabrück, in a small, intimate venue. This new album therefore contains only 'hot first takes,' imbued with all the emotion that permeated our playing that evening. In a way, it's perhaps more closely linked to my initial vision for the project: to 'take the iconic themes from the Legend of Zelda games that shaped my childhood and perform them live through a jazz lens.' For me, the conditions of live performance are the very essence of jazz. There's a frankness of being present, in the very moment the music is created and, one might say, listens to itself, that draws the musicians into a fervor and audacity that often transcends them. The magic of jazz comes at this price. Unapologetic, as they say in English. This album reveals a perhaps more authentic and unrestrained side of our playing. No excuses. Again, long live Hyrule jazz!"

LP version. The new album by the French jazz guitarist recorded in the legendary Abbey Road studio. A soft album with pop and cinematic influences between Khruangbin, Bombay Bicycle Club, and Bill Frisell. With wild eyes and ash-gray fur, Loup(s) is an instrumental album where jazz and pop intertwine, led by guitarist Matthis Pascaud (Ayo, Erik Truffaz, Moonlight Benjamin, Marion Rampal, Hugh Coltman) and his pack of sonic alchemists. Once again, the album features the magnetic R (Cheick Tidiane Seck, Erik Truffaz, Tété, Albin de la Simone) on drums, composition, and co-production, alongside bassist Laurent Vernerey (Didier Lockwood, MC Solaar, Henri Salvador, Jane Birkin) and saxophonist-clarinetist Christophe Panzani (Carla Bley Big Band, Hocus Pocus, Anne Paceo). Four lone wolves, fluent in swamp blues and psychedelic incantations. After Night Trippin' and Good Grief, Matthis sets off into uncharted territory, tracing the footsteps of Pink Floyd while echoing the shimmering grooves of Khruangbin, Blake Mills, and Pino Palladino. The result, Loup(s), recorded at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios, is a record where atmosphere reigns supreme. Tempos stretch and breathe, basslines rumble, and saxophones murmur through a Leslie cabinet. Landscapes emerge, sculpted by rolling toms and the feline cry of a 1967 Gretsch Astrojet. Later, singer Célia Kameni and pianist Gaël Rakotondrabe lend their own mysterious enchantments. Together, Pascaud and his band of explorers chase textures as others might chase gold, dreaming aloud of a music made of a panoramic vision stretching from the plains of Gran Sasso to the far edges of the American West, in search of forgotten legends.

Jazzman's latest Holy Grail reissue is this private press spiritual jazz gem out of California from Rickey Kelly and his vibes and marimba. Features Diane Reeves (vocals) and Adele Sebastian (flute)! "Rickey, I know these are your friends, the guys you went to school with, but if you wanna record an album, you record with musicians who have been playing their whole life; whatever you write, they'll put their whole life into it. You play with your friends; they may not even play in tune." These are the words of Slave guitarist Kevin Johnson, and they were to change the course of young Rickey Kelly's life. It was 1978, and music student Kelly had approached Johnson with a tape of rough demos of some songs he'd written. A San Francisco native, Kelly had recently moved the short distance south to study music at LA City College in East Hollywood. He was a member of E.W. Wainwright Jr.'s African Roots of Jazz, and was spending up to 10 hours a day in practice on both vibes and marimba. He also played with Horace Tapscott, and had his own band made up of fellow students, but it was his ambition to make an album that led to the conversation with Johnson. It was a turning point in his education, and a decision was looming. Some calls were made and the date was set to record at Studio Masters on Beverly Blvd, a studio set up just a few years previous in 1973, owned and operated by Dot Records founder Randy Wood. As the recording session took place, John Wood was listening in. He was impressed. Kelly didn't have the funds to manufacture and release the album himself, so Wood suggested it was pressed up on his in-house studio label, Los Angeles Phonograph Records, and thus the LP My Kind of Music was released early in 1979. The album also saw a subsequent pressing soon afterwards on Dennis Sullivan's New Note label. Kelly remains humble and proud of his debut album to this day. "I was still a beginner" he says, "These masters walked in, smiling, and gave me something worth gold."

Some calls were made and the date was set to record at Studio Masters on Beverly Blvd, a studio set up just a few years previous in 1973, owned and operated by Dot Records founder Randy Wood. As the recording session took place, John Wood was listening in. He was impressed. Kelly didn't have the funds to manufacture and release the album himself, so Wood suggested it was pressed up on his in-house studio label, Los Angeles Phonograph Records, and thus the LP My Kind of Music was released early in 1979. The album also saw a subsequent pressing soon afterwards on Dennis Sullivan's New Note label. Kelly remains humble and proud of his debut album to this day. "I was still a beginner" he says, "These masters walked in, smiling, and gave me something worth gold."

"Duo Concert Frankfurt 1986, was recorded live in Germany on February 15th. The album captures tenor icon Pharoah Sanders and celebrated pianist John Hicks in a moment of profound musical harmony. Sanders, known for his evolution from fierce free jazz to deeply lyrical spiritualist, plays here with warmth, focus and emotional clarity. Hicks meets him with luminous touch, rich voicings and an intuitive sense of space that elevates every phrase. Together they deliver a beautifully balanced set of Coltrane classics 'Giant Steps,' 'Central Park West,' original compositions such as 'Heart To Heart' and more timeless standards. From the serene glow of 'After the Rain' to the understated spiritual power of 'The Creator Has A Master Plan/Thembi,' the duo moves effortlessly between tenderness, swing and transcendence. Their interplay feels almost telepathic, two distinct voices merging into one shared musical vision. This first-ever vinyl release of the legendary Duo Concert Frankfurt 1986 is a spiritual partnership. The double album is available now and includes new liner-notes by jazz journalist Bret Primack. Affixed on the protective sleeve is the 50th Anniversary Timeless Jazz sticker."

The new album by the French jazz guitarist recorded in the legendary Abbey Road studio. A soft album with pop and cinematic influences between Khruangbin, Bombay Bicycle Club, and Bill Frisell. With wild eyes and ash-gray fur, Loup(s) is an instrumental album where jazz and pop intertwine, led by guitarist Matthis Pascaud (Ayo, Erik Truffaz, Moonlight Benjamin, Marion Rampal, Hugh Coltman) and his pack of sonic alchemists. Once again, the album features the magnetic R (Cheick Tidiane Seck, Erik Truffaz, Tété, Albin de la Simone) on drums, composition, and co-production, alongside bassist Laurent Vernerey (Didier Lockwood, MC Solaar, Henri Salvador, Jane Birkin) and saxophonist-clarinetist Christophe Panzani (Carla Bley Big Band, Hocus Pocus, Anne Paceo). Four lone wolves, fluent in swamp blues and psychedelic incantations. After Night Trippin' and Good Grief, Matthis sets off into uncharted territory, tracing the footsteps of Pink Floyd while echoing the shimmering grooves of Khruangbin, Blake Mills, and Pino Palladino. The result, Loup(s), recorded at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios, is a record where atmosphere reigns supreme. Tempos stretch and breathe, basslines rumble, and saxophones murmur through a Leslie cabinet. Landscapes emerge, sculpted by rolling toms and the feline cry of a 1967 Gretsch Astrojet. Later, singer Célia Kameni and pianist Gaël Rakotondrabe lend their own mysterious enchantments. Together, Pascaud and his band of explorers chase textures as others might chase gold, dreaming aloud of a music made of a panoramic vision stretching from the plains of Gran Sasso to the far edges of the American West, in search of forgotten legends.

Step into the golden era of soul-jazz with the long-awaited vinyl reissue of Vibrations by Roy Ayers Ubiquity -- a record that captures the unmistakable warmth, groove, and sophistication that defined Roy Ayers' sound at its peak. Originally released in 1976, Vibrations stands as a cornerstone in Ayers' catalog, marking a moment where his signature blend of jazz, funk, and soul reached a refined, deeply cohesive form. Building on the foundations laid in earlier works, this album presents a tighter, more focused musical vision without sacrificing the lush textures and emotional depth that made his music resonate worldwide. Roy Ayers was a pioneering vibraphonist, composer, and producer whose influence stretches far beyond jazz into R&B, neo-soul, and hip-hop. Often referred to as the "Godfather of Neo Soul," Ayers crafted a sound that feels both timeless and forward-thinking, pairing silky vocals with hypnotic grooves and rich instrumental arrangements. His work throughout the 1970s helped shape the sonic DNA of modern Black music, and Vibrations is one of its purest expressions. The album flows effortlessly between moods: from the jazz-inflected elegance of "Searching" to the irresistible funk pulse of "The Memory," the dancefloor-ready "One Sweet Love to Remember," and the laid-back, atmospheric title track "Vibrations." Each track showcases a masterful balance between musicianship and groove, brought to life by a stellar ensemble of collaborators who elevate every moment. Beyond its original impact, Vibrations has taken on a second life through hip-hop. Its grooves, breaks, and melodies have been extensively sampled by generations of producers and artists, becoming a foundational source for crate diggers and beatmakers alike. Tracks from the album have been reinterpreted and flipped by influential names such as A Tribe Called Quest, J Dilla, Dr. Dre, and Common, cementing its legacy as a vital bridge between 1970s soul-jazz and contemporary hip-hop culture. After almost two decades out of print, Vampisoul present this much-needed vinyl reissue of an essential album in Roy Ayers' career. Whether you're discovering it for the first time or returning to a beloved classic, this album remains an essential piece of musical history. Pressed on 180g vinyl.

The Mantecas represent one of the finest concentrations of experience and talent in Latin and jazz music ever to be based in the UK. A pure uplifting Latin jazz music celebration. Limited edition 250 copies: not-to-be-missed! Recorded at different locations in London during 2025/26. On their fabulous fourth album, The Mantecas (formerly Manteca) have moved the needle all the way in the direction of Latin jazz (or jazz latino). In their early years, the London-based eight-piece played a mix of salsa, Cuban timba, boogaloo, Latin funk and descarga (jazzy, improvised Latin jam session), with plenty of vocals, strictly geared for the dance floor. Along the way, the jazz-descarga aspect emerged as a stronger force, though all sorts of other ingredients, from afrobeat to Afro-Cuban, cumbia to samba, ebbed and flowed throughout. Although there's nothing new with the concept of doing an album of instrumental Latin tracks in a jazz mode that's still dance-friendly (Machito, Sabú Martínez, Tito Puente, and Tito Rodríguez all waxed jazz latino albums like that long ago), what's new here is The Mantecas' very fresh and confident interpretation of the idiom. And while they share something in common with the accessible, danceable Latinized soul jazz of someone like Mongo Santamaría or Willie Bobo, as well as the Afro-Cubop roots of Chano Pozo, they also bring to mind the more jazz-oriented improvisational legacy of Pozo's amigo Dizzy Gillespie, which is reflected in The Mantecas' explorations of a handful of 20th Century modern jazz giants as they rework timeless classics by John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Oliver Nelson, and Wayne Shorter. For this release, all seven tracks are essentially Latin renditions of jazz standards or are Latin jazz originals. There's a mix of jazz and Latin rhythmic structures, instrumentation, arranging, and sensibilities at play, and it's a very natural sounding mélange. Like their previous albums, some of the tunes feature a club-ready blend of hot and cool, in a Latinized British acid jazz/soul jazz way.

Entropic Hop's sophomore studio album, their first on ESP-Disk', is a covert extraterrestrial mind control program utilizing controversial sonic hypnosis techniques; a prurient hyperreal triad unraveling in sonic flux while rupturing auditory expectations; an inter-dimensional artifact filtering rigorous initiation rituals and organized chaos into weapons of discourse against hierarchical coercion. After the psychoactive success of their 2023 Japanese tour, Entropic Hop returned to NYC envisioning a posthuman soundscape, one that could not only thread a future-proof sanctuary of kindness through the erratic kerfuffle of musique concrète, but one that could also tickle the visionary spectral residues of Roscoe Mitchell, cuddle the residual husk of Stockhausen's "Die sieben Tage der Woche," and strive to implement Joseph Beuys' "science of freedom." To achieve these goals on TQFTNITDOTS, Ayumi Ishito has evolved her marriage of saxophone and electronics into broad new spectral explorations of echoing simulacrum; Aron Namenwirth's guitar swims in an awakened molten lattice of distortion, glitch, and peaceful aspiration; Kevin Shea's dystopian percussive algorithms have emerged to convert alien code from the electronovoid into sunshine. While some may hear the echoes of a fractured world, Entropic Hop finds a sanctuary of kindness within the musical process -- humor in tragedy and laughter inside the darkness. TQFTNITDOTS is one antidote to the madness -- a defiant call to reclaim the spirit.

First-ever vinyl reissue of Hadley Caliman's 1971 modal/spiritual jazz cult classic, Iapetus. Composed and arranged by Bayeté Todd Cochran, featuring remastered audio, original gatefold artwork with unissued session photos and new liner notes written by Todd Cochran. Wewantsounds continues its reissue program of Bob Shad's cult jazz label, Mainstream Records, with Hadley Caliman's superb 1972 album, Iapetus. Recorded in LA and featuring a heavyweight lineup of West Coast players including Todd Cochran, Woody "Sonship" Theus, Luis Gasca, and Victor Pantoja, the majority of the album was composed by Todd Cochran (aka Bayeté) soon after he had composed Bobby Hutcherson's Blue Note classic, Head On. A true hidden treasure, it is reissued here on vinyl for the first time since 1971, featuring its original gatefold artwork with rare first-generation photos. This edition comes with newly remastered audio and a two-page insert with exclusive liner notes by Todd Cochran, reflecting on Hadley Caliman and the making of the album. Tenor saxophonist and flutist Hadley Caliman was a key figure in the West Coast late '60s underground scene, whose versatile style made him a first-call collaborator across genres. A fixture of the San Francisco music scene, Caliman's rich tone and musical creativity saw him crossing over into the city's lively jazz and psychedelic rock circles, contributing to recordings by Gerald Wilson, Mongo Santamaria, Santana, and the Grateful Dead. By 1971, he had established himself as a prominent member of this creative community, which led to his signing with Bob Shad's Mainstream Records. Following his 1971 self-titled debut, Caliman returned to the studio later that year to record Iapetus. The session featured a heavyweight lineup of fellow West Coast fixtures, including trumpeter Luis Gasca, bassist James Leary, and a powerhouse percussion section of Woody "Sonship" Theus, Victor Pantoja, and Hungria Garcia. The album's sophisticated modal structures were captured by pianist and composer Todd Cochran.
