Review: United brings together two musical giants in the form of guitarist Lionel Loueke and bassist Dave Holland and they combine in to great effect in what is an inspiring collaboration. Loueke's masterful fusion of West African traditions and modern jazz pairs seamlessly with Holland's deep, resonant bass to make for a greatly harmonious and creative sound. Both musicians have had profound impacts on jazz: Loueke's collaborations with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Sting and others, and Holland's influential work with icons like Miles Davis and Chick Corea, have defined the genre over the years. While they've worked together in various ensembles, this album marks their first duo collaboration and results in an extraordinary fusion that celebrates unity, creativity and cultural roots in music.
Review: Stamford presents Chris McGregor's 'Brotherhood Of Breath' in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with 180 gram LP; for the first time on Vinyl since the 1970 Neon release and limited to 500 hand-numbered copies. 'Brotherhood of Breath' was an exuberant big-band created by South African-born pianist and composer Chris McGregor. In South Africa, McGregor had formed the racially mixed Blue Notes in the early 1960s. By 1964, finding it very difficult to work at home, they left for Europe, finally settling in London in 1966. The Blue Notes - Chris McGregor, Dudu Pukwana, Mongezi Feza, Johnny Dyani and Louis Moholo - made a huge impact on London's jazz scene and befriended many in London's emerging avant-garde jazz community.

Review: Alga Marghen has been long renowned for its dedication to avant-garde and experimental sound art and now it ventures into new territory with Formalibera, a label devoted to free jazz. Its inaugural releases feature never-before-heard archival recordings by saxophonist John Tchicai, which were originally created in Copenhagen during the 1960s and '70s. This second album from the crew showcases two stunning performances: first is 'The Education of an Amphibian' with Shahib Shahab and then comes 'Beautiful United Harmony Happening' with Don Cherry. These landmark releases offer a rare glimpse into Tchicai's groundbreaking career and free jazz's radical evolution.
Review: Way back in 1979, Japanese composer, bandleader and percussionist Masahiko Togahashi headed to Paris for a set of recording sessions with bassist Charlie Haden and trumpeter Don Cherry. Under the watchful eye of Martin Meissonnier - then Don Cherry's right-hand man - the trio recorded 'Son of Soil', a magical and spiritually enriching set that mixed elements of free-jazz improvisation with Japanese musical motifs, Togahashi's sublime percussion work, Haden's fast-fingered bass-played, and Cherry's mastery of various brass and woodwind instrumentation. The set was initially only released in Japan, so this worldwide reissue - accompanied by a booklet featuring extensive liner notes, previously unpublished photos and new interviews - is very welcome.
