Land, Harold : Damisi

First time reissue of Harold Land's classic LP 'Damisi,' recorded in Los Angeles for Bob Shad's Mainstream Records and released in 1972. Featuring Buster Williams (b), Ndugu (ds), Bill Henderson (keys) and Oscar Breashear (tp) the album was recorded at a crucial time when Land was shifting to a more spiritual sound. The session is a superb mix of funk and modal jazz and features the monster groove 'In The Back, In The Corner, In The Dark' as well as the deep, meditative track 'Pakistan.' The album is reissued in its original gatefold sleeve adding never-seen session photos, with newly remastered audio and a 2-page insert including new liner notes by Kevin Le Gendre.

Laneri, Roberto : South of no border

Roberto Laneri's works always convey a clear artistic certainty: a total composer with an eclectic cultural background. In this latest adventure it seems to propose a kind of weird and curious Exotica music; his Mediterranean ragas release glows and shadows, but the music plays more the plateaus of the Maghreb than the Indus Valley. Like a sorcerer piper, the sax shapes alchemy and hypnotic phrasing become: vague dances of camels, ecstatic progressions of an aboriginal vortex or a mystic arabesque tropicalisms. He doesn't neglect his training as a jazz clarinetist, with gentle and smooth orchestral veins that are decidedly retro and old-style; remembering the dreamlike compositions of Nino Rota for Fellini's movies. There is no lack of esoteric voices from distant islands, Amazonian soundscapes, or rocking Brazilian moods. Laneri filters hidden traces of different traditions, creating unknown geographical syntheses without borders, furious extrapolations of compositional elements and famous themes misrepresentations. A visionary gaze, but also a good dose of ironic plaesure and fairytale humor. Not surprisingly, the original cover-art of Noura Tafeche does nothing but suggest the idea of a tasty psychedelic fruit-salad.

Lateef, Yusef : Cry! - tender

Limited clear vinyl edition of 300 copies! In 1959, at the time of this recording session, Yusef Lateef was already approaching a new and more open form of jazz. A sophisticated, spiritual yet urban music form informed by non western languages and cultures. Cry Tender! is a deeply inventive, mostly contemplative album inspired by an original cosmopolitan vision of Jazz and based on masterful playing from a bunch of solid Jazz musicians including among others: Wilbur Harden - flugelhorn, Hugh Lawson - piano, Herman Wright - bass and Oliver Jackson - drums, percussion, all under the direction of master of ceremonies Yusef Lateef on tenor sax, flute and oboe.

Laurance, Bill : Cables

Led Bib : It's morning

From the Homeric invocation of ethereal opener 'Atom Story', it becomes stunningly clear that 'It's Morning', the 2019 album from the uncategorizable UK jazz ensemble Led Bib, is meant to take the listener on a journey. For this release the band's core line-up is joined by gifted vocalists Sharron Fortnam, a co-founder of the North Sea Radio Orchestra and intoxicating mezzo soprano, and Jack Hues, best known as frontman for the '80s new wave band Wang Chung.

Legacy : Stand and conquer

In 2000 Legacy's debut 'Slay The Beast' was released, which was still recorded live on analog tape in a short time. Thus the band considers 'Stand And Conquer' as the first "real" album, especially since the line-up had changed to successful line-up between both releases. For the 20th anniversary here comes a remastered version of the album including an inlay.

An outstanding cast of creative jazz luminaries for a hard swinging, blues driven studio session dated 1984.

Turku Jazz Orchestra / Lyysaari, Henri : The Labyrinth Garden

The Labyrinth Garden kokoaa jazzsäveltäjä Henri Lyysaaren big band -sävellyksiä viimeisen kymmenen vuoden ajalta. Albumi liikkuu modernista big band -perinteestä kirkasotsaisiin, satumaisiin sävyihin ja paikoin kohti klassisen puhallinorkesterin estetiikkaa. Nimikkoteoksessa pasunisti Kasperi Sarikoski johdattaa kuulijan labyrinttipuutarhaan, jota avartaa Artturi Röngän pianoimprovisaatio. Albumin huippusolisteina kuullaan heidän lisäkseen mm. Max Zengeriä ja Mikko “Gunu” Karjalaista.

Made To Break : Cherchez La Femme

Malia : Malawi Blues/Njira

Mammal Hands : Captured Spirits

Mann, Herbie : Glory of love

Flutist Herbie Mann is backed by a large rhythm section and a small horn section on this Creed Taylor-produced A&M set. Actually the most interesting aspect of the R&B-oriented set (which includes such songs as 'Hold On, I'm Comin',' 'House Of The Rising Sun' and 'Unchain My Heart') is that the up-and-coming flutist Hubert Laws is matched with Mann on several tracks. Originally released in 1967.

Mansur : Oscuras flores

Featuring Jason Kohnen (ex-Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble), Dimitry El-Demerdashi (ex-Phurpa) and Martina Horvath on vocals, Mansur has a sound that navigates between the waters of musical fantasy and reality, morphing and blending traditional instrumentation with modern day electronica. 'Oscuras Flores' (meaning 'Dark Flowers') is a musical testimony for a return to an organic and healthier symbiosis with our planet.

Mansur : Minotaurus

Mansur presents a live improv recording that takes you on a sonic journey through subterranean labyrinths, evoking spirits from past echoes of Minoa.

Marks & Lebzelter : Rock and other four letter words

This New York based duo released their one and only LP in 1968 on Columbia Masterworks, just months after Zappa released 'Lumpy Gravy' in California. Although the 2 projects have some superficial similarity in structure, it would seem that this later LP must have been made (at least largely), without any knowledge of the Zappa masterpiece. Another reference point might be The United States Of America who also released their LP in 1968. Originally released simultaneously with Terry Riley's 'In C' and Walter Carlos' 'Switched On Bach', this new edition of Marks and Lebzelters complex 50 minute heady mix of spoken word, electronics and experimental psychedelia is taken from the master tapes and consists of a suite of 13 tracks. Where 'Lumpy Gravy' uses orchestral settings, here we have a combination of theatrical text and sung vocals by the Gregg Smith Singers, and on one track a full baptist gospel choir praising the virtues of baked beans. The core of this album though, stems from interviews conducted by J Marks for his book, also called 'Rock And Other Four Letter Words' (essentially a book of photos by Linda Eastman, soon to be McCartney, with quotes from many of the leading US and UK rock bands of the time). Included on this LP are numerous cut up and processed excerpts of these interviews with many young rock stars including Pete Townshend, Jimmy Page, Brian Wilson, Grace Slick etc. Add to this concoction, dense arrangements of tape loops, psychedelic rock, electronics and a huge guest list of contributors including jazz players Alan Silva, Andrew Cyrille, Roswell Rudd and Burton Greene and the scope of this project begins to be seen. Its hard to believe this is their first time in a studio, such is their confident musicality and bold handling of these varied talents. No doubt much of this is due to the helping hand of the in house engineers and John McClure who produced this, along with 100s of other recordings at CBS, including the Harry Partch records. After this album Shipen Lebzelter (1942-1986) went o...
