Live in the Usa, 1976
Lovely live album that collects material recorded during Howard Riley 1976 tour in the US (taken from concerts held in New York and Buffalo, in the fall of that year). A work of deep musical contemplation, freedom and lyricism.

Keep Going
It's easy to be cynical these days, maybe difficult to imagine that music can change the world, but not for Joe McPhee and Hamid Drake. With Keep Going, they will make the planet a better place for humanity, a place to be humane, to preserve humankind. At 78 years old, Poughkeepsie multi-instrumentalist McPhee is a national treasure, and he's making more music than ever before, pushing himself to tour incessantly, issuing astonishing new records at a fierce rate. But this release, with legendary…
Brace For Impact
Some recordings, the world is just not ready for them when they're made. In 2008, Swedish born, Austrian resident saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and Poughkeepsie, New York multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee made a suite of studio recordings, Brace For Impact that they loved so much they immediately culled, mixed, and mastered them. A decade later, when the original label for which they were planned had not yet issued them, Gustafsson and McPhee offered them to Corbett Vs. Dempsey, and when the label …
European Jazz Sounds
A CD of unreleased live recordings and rare radio sessions. During the period 1953-1964 the Michael Naura Quintett was one of Germany's most successful jazzbands. The music of this eclectic quintet was strongly influenced by George Shearing, Dave Brubeck and Horace Silver's hard bop, but also by the chamber-influenced style of the Modern Jazz Quartet. From 1953 on, vibraphonist Wolfgang Schlüter was the main improviser in Naura's quintet. The remastered music on this album will blow you away and…
European Jazz Sounds
A collection of unreleased radio session recordings from the original tapes! The few recordings made by the New Jazz Group from Hannover in Germany are scarcely documented. The band was founded in -or around- 1954 by Bernd Rabe (alto sax and clarinet), pianist Klaus Wunderlich, drummer Helmut Perschke, bass player Eberhard Pommerencke and Karl Blume (baritone sax and vibraphone). This release documents a special chapter in German jazz history. Alto Saxophone, Clarinet – Bernd Rabe Baritone Saxop…
European Jazz Sounds
Remastered radio sessions from the period 1959-'66, recorded in Cologne. A 16-page booklet is included.
Schizo
Pianist Berndt Egerbladh was a prolific writer with considerable talents, who also recorded with Lars Lystedt. The three musicians in this trio (Egerbladh, Björn Alke and Sten Ödberg) were all on the same wavelength and able to change between different musical moods. This is a remastered vinyl reissue of a 1964 recording, issued in an edition of 500 LP's.
Night Music 1974
A never-heard live session from the great Eje Thelin – a mid 70s set that has the trombonist working with a cool quartet that includes some Fender Rhodes from Harald Svensson – who makes a wonderful partner for Thelin's long-blown lines! Eje had already grown tremendously as a musician in the 60s – from bop to modern to avant in the space of a few short years – and here, he moves back into more soulful territory which opens up perfectly next to the Rhodes – with these very fluid, open solos that…
Jazz Jamboree 62 Vol. 2
A CD-issue of excellent '62 live recordings from the highly regarded Swedish jazz trombonist
European Jazz Sounds
The 'European Jazz Sounds' series, that started around 1960 with legendary albums by the Michael Naura Quintet, Tubby Hayes and Max Greger, sees a welcome revival! This first volume presents the early recordings of the renowned Joki Freund Quintet from the late 1950s. German saxophonist and arranger Joki Freund played with Jutta Hipp in the mid-'50s, before forming his own Joki Freund Quintet. During the late '50s they played various European festivals, together with visiting American musicians …
More Modern At The German Jazz Festival 1966
An incredible meeting of talents – both American and European jazz musicians coming together at a festival that must have been one hell of a event – certainly more exciting than just about any jazz festival we've ever attended in our lifetime! Unlike other festival recordings, this isn't just any sort of rehash of standards, done by all-star groups – and instead showcases some of the best modern jazz talents on both sides of the Atlantic in the mid 60s – all trying to outdo each other with their…
Modern At The German Jazz Festival 1966
Double album with unreleased live recordings from the German Jazz Festival 1966 featuring all the big German names of the time - Albert Mangelsdorff, Horst Jankowski, Hans Koller, Rolf Kühn, Klaus Doldinger etc! Listen to Mangelsdorff's "Plakate" or Kühn/Doldinger's "Gemini Waltz". Limited edition release (500 copies) with spectacular sound quality! "We are very excited to announce what we think is one of the most exciting jazz albums that have been issued in recent years. It includes the most b…
Eje Thelin At The German Jazz Festival
An amazing set from Swedish trombonist Eje Thelin – a live date, but a totally excellent session that stands as one of the best demonstration of his talents in the 60s! On the European scene at the time, Thelin was easily one of the most inventive players on the trombone – one of the few who could hit the soulful swing of American musicians like Curtis Fuller or JJ Johnson, but also an artist who was starting to stretch out into new realms too – just a touch of Grachan Moncur and Roswell Rudd, w…
Love from the Sun
This jazz recording is considered as the 'magnum opus' of master "drummer extraordinaire'', composer, arranger, producer, and leader Norman Connor's in a career that has spanned 4 decades. This recording is what many will consider the debut of the legendary vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater who has since gone on to a brilliant career. Connor's put together an all-star group with Herbie Hancock and Onaje Allan Gumbs on piano and Fender Rhodes, Dr. Eddie Henderson on trumpet/flugelhorn, Carlos Garnett …
Awareness
2017 Release. LP version. Gatefold sleeve. Wewantsounds present a reissue of Buddy Terry's Awareness, originally released in 1971.

Prior to the release of Awareness, Terry had recorded a couple of soul jazz albums for Prestige…
In A Silent Way
"Listening to Miles Davis' originally released version of In a Silent Way in light of the complete sessions released by Sony in 2001 (Columbia Legacy 65362) reveals just how strategic and dramatic a studio construction it was. If one listens to Joe Zawinul's original version of In a Silent Way, it comes across as almost a folk song with a very pronounced melody. The version Miles Davis and Teo Macero assembled from the recording session in July of 1968 is anything but. There is no melody, not ev…
