Heterotopia
Persistence of Sound presents a new solo LP from one of the world’s leading voices in electroacoustic music.
Nonaah
On Nonaah, Roscoe Mitchell turns the alto saxophone into a fault line, setting stark solos, prickly duets and dense small‑group pieces against one another to test how far a single composition and a single sound can be stretched.

Departures
Don Shinn’s Departures, first issued in 1969 and recorded at Lansdowne Studios in London just months after his acclaimed debut, returns in a newly remastered edition that highlights the record’s adventurous spirit and Shinn’s singular command of the Hammond organ. Where his debut established him as a rising force, Departures reveals a more overtly jazzy, exploratory side — muscular, unpredictable and deeply musical — that helped influence a generation of keyboardists, including the young Keith E…
Until I Met You
In a new duo collaboration that defies conventions and background, Midori Takada and Jakob Bro took up residence in Tokyo’s Avaco Studios to record their first album, あなたに出会うまで / Until I Met You.

Reference: Marion Brown Capricorn Moon Why Not? & With Burton Greene Quartet
The rhythm team by Rashied Ali and Reggie Johnson (with former Sun Ra member Ronnie Boykins adding texture on "Capricorn Moon") establishes a solid foundation, complemented by Alan Shorter's sharp trumpet, while Benny Maupin's close expressions in monophonic form also support it. The fact that pianist Burt Green recorded an almost unnoticed ESP album (just a month later) with Brown as a sideman illustrates how fluid and negotiable musical activities were within this nascent community.
Although R…

Components
Components documents vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson’s early emergence as a vital voice in modern jazz. Recorded and issued in 1965, the album presents Hutcherson’s distinctive mallet work and original compositions that bridge post‑bop lyricism and mid‑60s harmonic exploration.
Components balances melodic clarity with adventurous harmony, moving between contemplative ballads, driving post‑bop pieces, and modal excursions that highlight the vibraphone’s textural range within a small‑combo setting.

Faint Light Blackens
