All Knavery & Collusion
** In process of Stocking ** For many years Evan Parker, one of the greatest post-Coltrane saxophonists, has played a monthly gig at the London club The Vortex. These gigs in part illustrate Evan’s close ties with the fragile ecosystem of clubs that support the jazz world; the small venues that allow an intimate and powerful connection between the artist and audience that is at the heart of jazz creativity. Evan called these events his ‘jazz’ gigs, the knowing hyphenation an indication of the pr…

KENTHMATA
Easily one of the best records we’ve heard all year, Evagoras Karageorgis’s KENTHMATA - the debut LP by Moneda - is an entirely singular rethinking of minimalism, challenging the ancient traditions of the composer’s Cypriot roots. Recorded between 1987 and 1988, and remaining unreleased ever since, it’s a truly stunning expanse of percussive tonality, and an absolute revelation that can’t be missed.

Triangles
"Triangles offers you more of the powerbook electronics sounds we're all digging on so much, and from speaking comparatively from the field as it stands today, Triangles sounds quite good, really amazing, in fact. Despite falling into the, dammit, start saying it -- 'melancholy electronics,' hole that you clearly need filled, Triangles stands on it's own. Need more?
