In the quiet extremities of contemporary composition, few have ventured as far into the territory of disappearance as Jakob Ullmann. This release documents the simultaneous realization of two works from his remarkable series of Solo pieces - compositions that exist somewhere between notation and performance, between instruction and interpretation, hovering at the very threshold of audibility. Begun in the late 1980s as Ullmann sought to depart from strict Western notational conventions, the Solo…
** Deluxe matte laminate gatefold sleeve and polylined paper inner sleeve ** A vital document of artistic resistance and spiritual searching, New Africa captures a transformative moment in jazz and global Black consciousness. Recorded in Paris in 1969, the album stands as a deeply personal and boldly experimental statement from American trombonist and composer Grachan Moncur III — one of the most compelling figures of the avant-garde movement and a master of what would become known as spiritual …

«The project “a sad song for A.” was born from an insight Stefano Gentile had, driven by his moods and, in particular, a regret he had experienced in the past. It all began almost by chance, one evening, during an informal conversation. Stefano suggested that I narrate what I was experiencing most intensely at that moment: anxiety. After thoroughly analyzing this emotional state, he asked me to translate it into words, to write texts that could give voice to the emotions surrounding it. From the…

A deep mystery surrounds both the film Nell'anno della Luna and its beguiling 1970 soundtrack, a work that hovers somewhere between the elegant swing orchestrations of an earlier era and the more adventurous sonic territories being charted by Italian composers at the close of the 1960s. Even in our current age of instant information and exhaustive online databases, almost nothing is known about the movie itself. What remains is the music: ten tracks of remarkable sophistication and inventiveness…
