ELLINGTON, DUKE	Sentimental Swing: 1927-53	LP	ACROBAT	ACRSLP 1673LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/31/2025 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."

ARDLEY, NEIL	Kaleidoscope Of Rainbows	2LP	ANALOGUE OCTOBER RECORDS	AOR 003ST-LP
$76.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/19/2025 The definitive 2LP reissue of a landmark in British jazz fusion. Analogue October Records presents the long-awaited reissue of Kaleidoscope of Rainbows, Neil Ardley's 1976 masterpiece, originally released on Gull Records. Produced by Neil Ardley and recorded at London's famed Morgan Studios, the sessions were engineered and mixed by Martin Levan, capturing one of the most ambitious and beloved works in British jazz. Following the acclaimed reissues of Courtney Pine's Journey to the Urge Within and Neil Ardley's Harmony of the Spheres, this third release confirms Analogue October as one of today's most meticulous and exciting reissue labels. Commissioned for the 1975 Camden Jazz Festival, Kaleidoscope of Rainbows is structured as a seven-part suite, each movement reflecting a color of the spectrum. Ardley's composition weaves together jazz improvisation, progressive rock energy, and orchestral elegance in one of the most imaginative British jazz recordings of the era. Featuring Ian Carr, Barbara Thompson, Tony Coe, Trevor Tomkins, and Geoff Castle, the album is a who's who of the UK's vibrant 1970s jazz scene. For this definitive edition, Analogue October worked directly from the original Gull master tapes. Mastering was entrusted to Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, using his renowned half-speed process to extract every detail and dynamic from Ardley's score. To give the music the headroom it deserves, the reissue has been expanded to a deluxe 2LP set, pressed on the highest-quality vinyl at Record Industry in Haarlem, Netherlands. The result is a presentation that finally does justice to the scope and brilliance of Ardley's vision. The artwork has been meticulously restored from the original film elements, ensuring a sleeve of unmatched vibrancy and fidelity. Inside, a 12-page booklet printed on heavyweight card features an in-depth essay on Neil Ardley and the making of Kaleidoscope of Rainbows, written by Jazzwise magazine editor Mike Flynn, alongside rare photographs from the period. As with every Analogue October release, Kaleidoscope of Rainbows has been curated and produced by label founder Craig Crane with a collector's eye for detail and a deep respect for the music's legacy. This reissue is not only the definitive vinyl edition of one of the great British jazz fusion albums -- it also continues the label's mission to restore and celebrate the most vital recordings of the era.

SZABO, GABOR	Jazz Raga	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 337LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/12/2025 Released in 1967, Jazz Raga is more than just an album -- it's a fearless leap into uncharted musical territory. Gábor Szabó, the Hungarian jazz guitarist known for his boundary-pushing style, delivers one of the most captivating records of his career with this genre - masterpiece. Blending jazz, rock, psychedelic folk, and Eastern influences -- with sitar-laced melodies and Latin-infused rhythms courtesy of legendary funky drummer Bernard Purdie -- Jazz Raga defies categorization. It's a hypnotic fusion where European tradition meets the counterculture spirit of the '60s, all woven together by Szabó's unmistakable guitar tone. From the dreamy groove of "Walking On Nails" to the swirling mysticism of "Mizrab," and his hauntingly original take on the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black," Szabó creates a sonic landscape that is both daring and deeply soulful. His playing here is electric -- full of offbeat chords, flowing improvisations, and a voice all his own. Decades later, Jazz Raga still stands as a landmark of creative freedom and global influence -- a must-hear for anyone seeking music that transcends borders and expectations. If you haven't experienced this cult classic yet, now's the time to let Gábor Szabó expand your musical horizons. Reissue on 180g vinyl.

JAMAL, KHAN	Gives The Vibes Some	CD	SOUFFLE CONTINU RECORDS	FFL 101CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/28/2025 On "Cold Sweat," James Brown famously called to "give the drummer some." In 1974, Philadelphia vibraphonist Khan Jamal called to Give the Vibes Some, with superb results. Pianist and composer Jef Gilson's PALM label gave Jamal the platform he needed to deliver a thorough exploration of contemporary vibraphone. After launching PALM in 1973, Gilson quickly demonstrated that he would only produce records not found anywhere else. Give the Vibes Some, PALM number 10, was another confirmation of this guiding principle. Raised and based in Philadelphia, Khan Jamal took up the vibes in 1968, after two years in the army during which he was stationed in France and Germany. Decisively drawn to the instrument by the work of the Modern Jazz Quartet's Milt Jackson, Jamal studied under Philadelphia vibraphone legend Bill Lewis and soon made his debuts in the local underground. Early in 1972, Jamal made his first recording, with the Sounds of Liberation. The band attempted an original fusion of conga-heavy grooves with avant-garde jazz soloing. Saxophonist Byard Lancaster, an important figure in Jamal's development, contributed much of the solo work. Later in 1972, Jamal made his leader debut with Drum Dance to the Motherland, a reverb-drenched, never-to-be-replicated experiment with live sound processing. Both albums appeared on the tiny musician-run Dogtown label. "We couldn't get no play from nowhere. No gigs or recording sessions or anything. So I took off for Paris," Jamal recalled in a Cadence interview with Ken Weiss. "Within a few weeks, I had a few articles and I did a record date. It didn't make me feel good about America." That was in 1974, while Byard Lancaster was recording the music gathered on Souffle Continu's The Complete PALM Recordings, 1973-1974. Jamal's record date delivered Give the Vibes Some. At its core, it was an exploratory solo vibraphone album, even if two tracks added (through technological resourcefulness?) a très célèbre French drummer very much into Elvin Jones appearing under pseudonym for contractual reasons. Another track, for which Jamal switched to the vibes's wooden ancestor, the marimba, added young Texan trumpeter Clint Jackson III. The most notable article published on Jamal during this stay in France was a Jazz Magazine interview. Jamal's last word there were "The Creator has a master plan/drum dance to the motherland." "Give the vibes some" could be added to this programmatic statement.

JAMAL, KHAN	Gives The Vibes Some	LP	SOUFFLE CONTINU RECORDS	FFL 101LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/28/2025 LP version. On "Cold Sweat," James Brown famously called to "give the drummer some."

TALK SHOW	Miss America	LP	WE JAZZ	WJLP 084LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/21/2025 Talk Show is a new duo collaboration featuring Steph Richards on trumpets and resonating surfaces and Qasim Naqvi on drums, almglocken bells and modular synthesizer. Having worked together on other projects for almost two decades, Miss America, released by We Jazz Records, marks their first, pure duo collaboration -- a space to engage with a sonic language they've been cultivating together for years. The album was recorded live, with Qasim crafting real-time electronics and drum set work, and Steph using trumpets and resonating percussion to summon sympathetic vibrations and otherworldly sounds through timpani, snare and water. The trumpet sounds electronically processed, though every sound is acoustic. Both artists wanted to retain the live nature of their process, so what you hear is virtually untouched. Sharing an appetite for experimentalism, theatricality and irreverent collisions of sound and image, Qasim and Steph met in 2008 at CalArts- which was a breeding ground for open creative thought and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Often working with directors in the theater program, choreographers, or experimental and character animators, Steph and Qasim's musical language has a rooting in visual performance art. From their first premiere, costumed together inside a giant two-person dress sculpture that consumed a drum set, to their most recent audio-visual nightmare which explores the horrors of '80s daytime reality talk shows, this duo presents a voice the grimy and the grotesque: a new beauty of questionable acts and character flaws in sound.

STARGAZERS	Stargazers	LP	NIGHT DREAMER	ND 024LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/14/2025 Visionary Amsterdam-based ensemble Stargazers present their self-titled debut album via Night Dreamer. Drawing on the spiritual, freedom-driven sound of '60s/'70s Black jazz, Stargazers breathes new life into the introspective, quietly crafted and previously hidden musical diary of the ensemble's orchestrator, saxophonist, flautist and composer, Finn Peters. Released as a direct-to-disc live album, Stargazers marks Peters' debut in Night Dreamer's prestigious direct-to-disc series, joining the ranks of Emma-Jean Thackray, Gary Bartz & Maisha, Sarathy Korwar, and Knoel Scott featuring Marshall Allen. Like all entries in the series, it was recorded live at Artone Studios, cut straight to vinyl with no overdubs, bringing to life the highwire musicianship of the group. From the meditative deep jazz of "Loempia" to the spaced-out astral improvisation of the title track, Stargazers presents a fluent and poised collection of originals and spiritual jazz interpretations that take the legacies of John Coltrane and Sun Ra -- whose "Theme of the Stargazers" inspired the title -- into shimmering new realms. Looking to the sky for inspiration, Peters blends personal compositions such as "91 Ships" with tributes like "Clifford Jordan," paying homage to the lineage of saxophonists who came before him. Alongside rhythm section siblings Yoran and Yariv Vroom, bassist Jeroen Vierdag, Timothy Blanchet on keys and Gideon Tazelaar's tenor sax, Peters set out fashioning a new record that would represent both his range of influences, the kinetic interplay of his consummate improvisors and the versatility of his own playing on alto sax, flute and Moog. A nod to the iconic tenor saxophonist and composer who played with everyone from Max Roach and Art Blakey to Charles Mingus before signing for independent label Strata-East, "Clifford Jordan" takes a cooler tone, carried by Peters' sensitive flute playing and a light-touch triplet feel that flutters in the breeze of Yoran Vroom's delicate drumming. A glittering homage, the track then breaks down into an extended percussive outro, mirroring the journey of Jordan's own eclectic career, from hard bop to free jazz and beyond. Released as a six-track album, Stargazers' self-titled debut is a late night ode to the eternal cosmos and an earth-bound time capsule of Finn Peters at the height of his game, ready to take off once more.

SHEPHERD, LORD	Evidence For Real	LP	FREDERIKSBERG RECORDS	FRB 021LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/14/2025 Frederiksberg Records presents the long-awaited reissue of Ambonisye Lord Shepherd's 1981 debut album, Evidence For Real -- a deeply personal and spiritual fusion of soul and jazz that has remained a hidden treasure for more than four decades. The newly remastered edition arrives on vinyl, restoring the powerful work of a drummer, composer, and bandleader who chose to walk his own path, well outside the mainstream. Born Robert Charles Sheppard Jr. in Omaha, Nebraska, and later known as Ambonisye Lord Shepherd, the artist carried a life story as inspiring as his music. From his formative years in Omaha's historic 24th & Lake district to his creative explorations in Los Angeles, Shepherd forged a sound that was at once fiercely personal and universally searching. Recorded in late-night sessions across Hollywood and Hermosa Beach with a close circle of collaborators, Evidence For Real reflects Shepherd's spiritual journey in the wake of his mother's passing, embodying his belief in music as a vehicle for healing and higher consciousness. Though self-released on his Verline Records label and overlooked upon its release, Evidence For Real has since become a cult artifact -- a record whispered about among collectors who revere it as a profound statement of resilience, spirituality, and independence. This reissue finally brings Shepherd's masterpiece back into the light.

CRISPELL/JASON STEIN/DAMON SMITH /ADAM SHEAD, MARILYN	Live at the Hungry Brain	LP	TROST	TROST 263LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/14/2025 A cross-generational summit between the legendary pianist Marilyn Crispell (member of the Anthony Braxton Quartet and Reggie Workman Ensemble) and Midwest improvising trio of bass clarinetist Jason Stein, bassist Damon Smith, and drummer Adam Shead delivers all the range and expressivity one would expect from such seasoned players. The concert captured on Live at the Hungry Brain moves organically from searing free jazz to contemplative, lyrical balladry, all of conceived in the urgency of the moment and revealing a long-ranging, intricate approach to free improvisation. By its very nature any time a working ensemble, even one fully devoted to improvised music, is joined by another musician its modus operandi can't help by change. While no performance the trio of Chicago bass clarinetist, drummer Adam Shead, and St. Louis bassist Damon Smith has ever been quite the same, since forming in 2021 the trio had forged a tight bond and developed a highly effective approach informed by fundamental elements of jazz tradition and a fiery desire to create anew with every gathering. On the other hand, the art of improvisation has always thrived upon new input, novel challenges, and changing circumstances. This performance is a sterling multi-generational project that uses instant communication to bridge experiences. Crispell has always worked with a wide array of collaborators, regularly embracing partnerships with musicians decades younger than her. Like Crispell, the members of the trio have their unique influences and sweet spots, but the act of spontaneous creation bridges any such differences. In June of 2023 the musicians gathered for a studio session along with performances in Madison, Wisconsin, and subsequently, in Chicago, where the group recorded Live at the Hungry Brain. While spiraling horn, the studio session releases in 2024 leaned toward shorter excursions built around a small array of gambits and ideas, the remarkable live performances captured two long-form pieces where the ensemble had the space and time to spread out and dig in. The interactions spin in multiple directions, leading the trio to occasionally veer a bit closer to the deeply lyric post-Coltrane wanderlust Crispell thrives within, unspooling gorgeously dynamic streams of tender melody. The music is given fierce propulsion, with Smith and Shead generating churning, kinetic energy. In some ways it's Stein that binds everything together, his endlessly fluid playing retaining an equanimity through serenity and chaos.

PRAED ORCHESTRA!	The Dictionary of Lost Meanings	2LP	DISCREPANT	CREP 112LP
$39.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/14/2025 PRAED return to Discrepant, after their 2017's entry Fabrication of Silver Dreams. Known for their signature blend of Egyptian Shaabi, free jazz and improvisation, the Lebanese duo behind PRAED -- Raed Yassin and Paed Conca -- now assemble a full orchestra for the second time taking the music to a deeper, rooted level. Following their 2020 release Live in Sharjah, also under the PRAED Orchestra! moniker, the duo now revisit their unique blend of Arabic heritage and free jazz sensibilities with an album that keeps pushing further into strange and unexpected directions. The Dictionary of Lost Meanings is just that, seven fully composed pieces and large-scale improvisations, performed by an expanded ensemble of musicians from across the globe. The result is dense and playful, unpredictable but familiar, a record where Arabic rhythms and microtonal melodies collide playfully against electronics, warped vocals and orchestral textures. It's less about genre than about memory -- like tuning into a radio station broadcasting from somewhere between the past and the future. PRAED continue to blur the line between popular culture and experimental music in ways that feel both grounded and completely their own.

DANIELS, DEVIN	Grandiose	2LP	THE VILLAGE	VLG 011LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/7/2025 The Village presnts Devin Daniel's sophomore release with the label, Grandiose. A modern jazz-epic composed entirely of original tunes composed by Devin, and performed by quartet of young west coast all-stars: Logan Kane on bass, Myles Martin on drums, and Javier Santiago on keys. Logan was present on Devin's first excursion with The Village, Trio Expeditions. Myles is a frequent collaborator and a staple in premiere LA rhythm sections. Javier and Devin met while attending the Herbie Hancock Institute at UCLA. Right after graduating from the institute, Devin toured with Herbie Hancock and found himself to be the youngest player on legendary stages including the Hollywood Bowl and Walt Disney Hall. Together, the quartet explores grooves, odd-time signatures, post-bop blues, and synthy ambient textures, all pushing each other's boundaries with a sense of freedom and urgency. "Particle" features a Miguel Atwood-Ferguson arrangement, performed by a string-quartet, adding a unique chamber influence. "Nightmare Kitten" contrasts to a Ta brooding melody with dissonant chords over a slow, deliberate groove. Other highlights include the electric energy of "Blink," the breezy pocket in "Contrivance," and extended meditations in "Mind 1" and "Mind 2." Here is the quintessential young Devin Daniels record, tight yet grand in scale, his unique talents on full display from start to finish

$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/7/2025 Joanna Duda Trio's new album, Delighted, weaves a hypnotic tapestry of sound that immediately captivates the listener. From the very first note, the track invites you into a world where inventive rhythms and melodies dance with a mesmerizing intensity. The crispness of the percussion and the looming intensity of the double bass create a vivid sonic landscape that feels both fresh and accessible, while undeniably complex. Duda's composition is one of her strengths, having been sought out to compose the music for the first Polish film for Netflix Originals, Erotica (2022), and she again demonstrates her uncanny ability to blend subtle complexity with melodic piano hooks that ooze playfulness. Beneath the surface a darker, more menacing undertone that keeps the listener on edge.

PARZEN-JOHNSON & LAU NAU, JONAH	A Few We Remember	LP	WE JAZZ	WJLP 091LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/7/2025 A Few We Remember is the new album by Jonah Parzen-Johnson and Lau Nau. The recording debut for the new duo of Finnish composer Lau Nau, aka Laura Naukkarinen, and American baritone saxophonist Jonah Parzen-Johnson, it cycles between moments of knotty ambience, whispered melody, and innocent tinkering, as the duo improvises over 8 narrative scores composed by Parzen-Johnson. Jonah Parzen-Johnson and Lau Nau are each prolific and celebrated creators on their own, with 22 albums released between the two of them, but in this fresh conversation, something completely new comes to life. In Laura's words: "I enjoy recording live takes without overdubs, and this album is exactly that -- pure first takes, bubbling creative energy happening in the moment. Jonah's written stories gave a powerful spark and direction for our improvisations, but the album reminds me of a chemical reaction: a result that is impossible without both of our inputs, and a surprise to each of us." On the debut single, First Time Viewer, it is almost impossible to tell where Jonah's fragile baritone saxophone melody begins and where Lau's live-sampled, processed, and re-synthesized accompaniment ends. As the improvisation develops, a cloud of ethereal fragments forms into a lattice of melody and texture strong enough to support the entire track.

MUMIN, YUSUF	Journey To The Ancient	LP	WEWANTSOUNDS	WWSLP 113LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/31/2025 Wewantsounds collaborates with cult musician Yusuf Mumin of the Black Unity Trio to unveil previously unreleased music from his personal archive. Following 2024's acclaimed Black Artist Group release, this new instalment continues to unearth hidden treasures from the Great Black Music tradition. Although the exact recording dates remain unknown, the music here is a powerful blend of serene spiritual jazz and fiery sonic intensity. All tracks have been remastered for vinyl by Colorsound Studio and the release also includes a two-page insert featuring new liner notes by Mumin and Pierre Crépon. In 1968, Yusuf Mumin was the blistering alto saxophone voice of the Black Unity Trio, who recorded the cult privately pressed album Al-Fatihah, one of the most sought-after albums in the genre. After extensive but unsuccessful searches for additional material by the group, Journey to the Ancient finally offers more unheard music from Yusuf Mumin. The album presented here draws from a selection of recordings preserved in Mumin's private collection, revealing previously unheard layers of his experimental vision. Mumin performs under both his own name and, when multitracking revelatory double bass parts, the pseudonym Dan Nuby. Born Joseph W. Phillips in 1944, Mumin became a key figure in Cleveland's radical free jazz underground of the 1960s. Deeply influenced by spiritual and esoteric traditions, Mumin was originally drawn to "outside" playing by the sonic explorations of Yusef Lateef. Shortly after Albert Ayler's U.S. recording debut with trumpeter Norman Howard, Howard and Mumin were co-leading a group in Cleveland. Mumin's legacy was cemented through his collaborations with Abdul Wadud and Hasan Shahid as the Black Unity Trio. The release includes a two-page insert featuring interview-based liner notes by Mumin and Crépon, offering fresh insight into the great history of the Cleveland scene. Journey to the Ancient continues Wewantsounds' mission to unearth the hidden treasures of such visionary jazz musicians, and it's an honor to finally present Yusuf Mumin's cutting-edge work for the first time after it remained unheard in the vault for decades.

AMADO'S THE BRIDGE, RODRIGO	Further Beyond	CD	TROST	TROST 266CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/31/2025 The fiery Portuguese tenor saxophonist Rodrigo Amado returns with the sophomore album from his multigenerational quartet the Bridge, spanning modern jazz history with a deeply experienced line-up: German free jazz pioneer Alexander von Schlippenbach on piano, veteran Swiss-based American Gerry Hemingway on drums, and the explosive Norwegian Ingebrigt Håker Flaten on bass. Amado's Bridge is the span linking the spirit of improvisation Rollins applied to composed music and modern free improvisation. For Portuguese tenor saxophonist Rodrigo Amado past and future have always been connected, bound in tradition while breaking free of it. The muscular reedist values collaboration deeply, working with countless musicians from his homeland, while simultaneously forming an ever-expanding constellation of international ensembles, including the powerful cross-generational quartet with veteran multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee, Chicago double bassist Kent Kessler, and the explosive drummer Chris Corsano -- which has released several instant classics on Trost. A few years ago, Amado formed the Bridge, another quartet featuring a stellar cast of musicians from different regions and different eras. The saxophonist's deep regard for jazz history led him to assemble a group for the ages. There's the legendary German pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach -- a still dominant figure who's been a revolutionary figure in improvised music and avant-garde composition since the early 1960s. American drummer Gerry Hemingway, who made his name as a member of Anthony Braxton's great quartet from the 1980s, has consistently reinforced his stature of one of the most restless, multivalent figures in experimental music from his adopted base in Lucerne, Switzerland. Double bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten rounds out the group -- a Norwegian virtuoso who's worked in the Thing with Mats Gustafsson and Paal Nilssen-Love, and more recently who's demonstrated his evolving strength as a composer with his group (Exit) Knarr. In 2023 Trost released the Bridge's galvanic debut Beyond the Margins, reflecting the tight connection the members developed on its first run of concerts in the fall of 2022, but the group's follow-up Further Beyond takes the music to another level. Across three full-bodied pieces the quartet summons a great deal of jazz history on its way to advancing the tradition.
