Peace. Out.

Primo (2004)



Argentinian jazz massive, with Sergio Verdinelli's (drums) power project. With the help from Juan Pablo Arredondo (guitar), Mariano Otero (bass) and Rodrigo Dominguez (sax), this record was done in only two days, and from the opening track, Relumbrón, till the closing track, shows some impressive experimentations on some classic territory.

Get it here!

We are sorry for the delay. Yea. We suck some times.

Tapestry (1974)


It lays somewhere between the sounds of 70's Free-Jazz and Fusion. It was recorded at Ornette Coleman's Artist House and produced by Noah Howard. At times the music is very spacious and wild, at other times very calm and soothing. Wonderful sounding Fender Rhodes and lots of great vibe and drum work. Includes Richard Daniel and Tim Ingles, who along with Ted Daniel were founding members of the band Brute Force.

Marcha Sobre a Cidade (1979)




The pioneers from the brazilian jazz-rock and fusion scene released this complex album in 1979, as a statement of their independence as a band after working with well know acts like Hermeto Pascoal.

Feel the heat and the power of the very complex opening tune, and check out some root vocals on the vibe on "Sangue Negro".

Get it here.

Wolfman Sanchez is hitting the road till July 15th. Hope you all have a great time with the rest of the wolfs from the pack.

Skalpel (2004)


If the electronic musicians of Western Europe and America ever run out of likely samples -- and every session of Solid Steel deforests at least three or four pristine, previously untouched performances -- it will be left up to others to dredge the world of recorded music for the sample sources needed to evoke what they will. The duo Skalpel, discovered in Poland by Russian expat DJ Vadim on a tour, reportedly has a large collection of, and affinity for, Polish jazz. Their self-titled debut for Ninja Tune, which appears after several underground mixes never widely available, illustrates that Skalpel bring the delicious tensions of Cold War-era jazz to the much less inhibited filmic funk of Ninja Tune acts such as Mr. Scruff or Cinematic Orchestra. Sampled or not, Skalpel is a very live-sounding record; despite the occasional crackle of a dusty LP, the duo at times uses extensive soloing passages from the musicians they've either hired or sampled (much of it excellent). And the range of that sampling is broad; Skalpel surveys several decades of jazz, from late-'50s beatnik cool to late-'60s distorted, electric jazz-rock to the deep, exploratory fusion of the '70s. Though the record includes a lot of worthy music, it does raise the question of who deserves credit for it, Skalpel or their sample victims? Perhaps Ninja Tune should have followed the lead of Stones Throw and presented a retrospective of Polish jazz instead of allowing Skalpel to sample at will.

If fusion ever had a masterplan to anything, this is it!
