On Smog, Piero Umiliani weaves Italian cinematic cool, West Coast jazz and vocal chiaroscuro into a quietly devastating portrait of early‑60s Los Angeles, with Chet Baker and Helen Merrill tracing the city’s alienated glamour in smoke.

The idea for this album began taking shape in 2021 and has slowly evolved into a seven-track snapshot of Juli Deák’s musical world and artistic thinking. Coming from the challenging, refined, and often seemingly flawless sound of classical music, the flutist began redirecting her musical voice toward a much more personal space through experimentation and improvisation. What eventually grew into this project originally began as a handful of unfinished ideas—which only revealed their true meaning …

The Awakening’s debut album Hear, Sense and Feel is a landmark spiritual jazz statement that captures the restless, creative energy of early‑1970s Chicago and the vanguard of the Black Jazz Records catalog. Recorded in 1972 at Streeterville Studios and newly available again after years as a coveted collector’s item, the album finds the group balancing deep groove, free improvisation, and Afrocentric consciousness in a way that feels timeless and urgently contemporary.  Hear, Sense and Feel was t…

Dive into the vibrant soundscape of the 1970s with “Change Up the Groove”, a hidden gem from Roy Ayers Ubiquity's early years on Polygram. Often overlooked compared to his more famous records, this work overflows with soul and is a true masterclass in fusing jazz and funk, perfectly capturing Ayers' evolution as he connected his jazz roots with the sharp, driving rhythms of 1970s funk. From the very first track, Ayers' signature vibraphone shines brightly, bringing emotion and rhythm. The album …

On Things We Lost in the Fire, Low stretch slowcore until it glows, binding hushed harmonies, sudden noise and fragile lullabies into one prolonged reckoning with love, faith and mortality. What began as an “anti-rock” trio here becomes a devastatingly direct pop group, without sacrificing an inch of quiet intensity.

Tip! Archie Shepp has many made many Afrocentric statements in his long distinguished career but this meeting with Algerian and Touareg musicians in 1969 ranks among his greatest artistic achievements. The backdrop was the inaugural Pan African Festival Of Culture that took place in Algiers in July 1969 in order to promote solidarity among African nations at a time when many were emerging from the yoke of colonialism and some were still fighting for freedom. Their struggle chimed with the Black …

The second instalment of a landmark session by one of the most unique figures in black music is a shower of sounds that have come straight from another world.  Sun Ra and the various groups he led were as prolific as they were innovative. By conservative estimates they produced around 200 recordings over a fifty-year period, and the early 70s was as fertile a time as any. In a typical burst of creative energy Ra and an ensemble he dubbed The Solar Myth Arkestra produced enough material to be spr…

2024 Stock. "In 1970, the world got its first taste of the original pothead pixie, Daevid Allen's Gong, as Magick Brother was released in France on the BYG label. Allen's wife, Gilli Smyth, penned all the tunes on the album, and Allen's now-classic "Ph.P." drawing style graces the inside of the gatefold. Leaning a little toward the pop end of the spectrum, Magick Brother is a fairly light album, devoid of the blatant psychedelic/hippie qualities which shine through so brilliantly on the later Ca…
