CD

$12.00 ppd

Silkheart and Clean Feed recording artist Dennis Gonzalez teams up with Faruq Z. Bey and Northwoods for this nice blend of the artists playing styles. This is Bey's third release on the Italian vinyl Qbico label.

"In short, a great album, in my opinion of the same expansive and broad-sweeping level as his Nile River Suite or "Dance Of The Soothsayer's Tongue". The overall sound is very coherent, all tracks are of the same high quality, melodic, lyrical and creative. I love it! ***** stars." Stef, Free Jazz Blog 2009

 

 

 

Strings of Niger
CD


Other Brother Productions 001
$14 ppd



Two long extended improvisations by; Mouhammadou Moussa on the three stringed "molo" lute. And one long extended improvisation by; Abdou Mohammed on the biram harp. With the explosion of hi-tech Afro-Pop music nowdays, these beautiful subtle solo improvisations hold up well to repeated listenings as well as preserving a rare and threatened musical tradition. Highly recommended.

Northwoods Improvisers
Spinning CD


ARC, England
$13 ppd


The second release from this Michigan trio who have been making creative improvised acoustic music for over 20 years. We have this one at a domestic price.

"This is brave music you can dance to or hum along with. Spinning is accurately titled; it spins a host of tales so ancient they can no longer be told openly, and offers them in a groove so deep and wide you have no choice as a listener but to sink right in and start moving."

Thom Jurek, All Music Guide




Northwoods Improvisers
Fog and Fire CD


ARC, England
$13 ppd



Hauntingly beautiful, refreshing improvised jazz with Middle Eastern and East Asian influences. Three guys with Vibes, Koto, Log Drum, and a variety of other ancient and modern instruments make this one of the best Jazz releases of 1994

"...'Fog' is the listeners' first definitive glance into the extended free ambient universe that the trio explores further on successive albums. Vibe overtones beautifully crash with subdued arrhythmic drumming/percussion, as Johnston first greets listeners with his gorgeous bass recorder playing before again picking up the bass and bowing."

Jason Hundley, All Music Guide
