The Quartet
Huge tip! It is a huge honour to announce the publication of Peter Brotzmann’s final concerts on Otoroku. When we invited Peter to do a residency at Cafe OTO back in February 2023 we had no idea these would be his last ever shows and he played with such power it would have been hard for anyone present to believe he would never play publicly again. Recorded over two nights this grouping of Jason Adasiewicz on vibraphone, John Edwards on bass and Steve Noble on drums feels especially resonant and …
Gin Tonic / Horizon
"We’re bringing you the exciting sound of the Misha Panfilov Sound Combo today. Hailing from Tallinn, Estonia, Misha’s music is frequently reviewed on the pages of Flea market Funk simply because it’s that good. The latest release on the Detroit powerhouse Funk Night Records is “Gin and Tonic”
FNR-169 is really a gem. Moving right into some fuzzy guitar, heavy break drums, and some spacey synths, Panfilov and company add the soundtrack to your night with a sound that is on some over there shizz.…
Hémisphère / Hemisfär
"The music is never the same. It verifies its positions and conditions, its peculiar way of listening to the cavities, the motions started, the tensions between sound and silence, tone and memory. Nature is present not only as trees and clouds, light and shadows. It is a readiness for what is constantly changing, a heightened awareness on the minimal variations in the materials and processes at hand, what it means to slowly examine a rough surface, the transformation of a rhythm, a melodic phras…
Swinging Oildrops!
2024 stock These days, where a young generation worldwide discovers good swinging Jazz again, where Dexter Gordon returned after so many years in exile like a triumphator to New York and "young swinging Scott Hamilton" becomes something like a 'super-star', it is hard to believe that this album was recorded 13 years ago - hard to believe by both artistic and technical standard. At this time, in the year of 1966, Beatlemania reached its peak and the beat and/ or rock wave ruled the world of music…
To the Mesosphere and Beyond
There are many facets to Misha Panfilov's music. As a music lover himself, reflecting on his extensive catalogue reveals numerous references in his harmonic palette, making it challenging to fully encapsulate. This septet's formation embodies his unique sound on this, their second album "The Mesosphere And Beyond." The music is imbued with optimism, featuring airy, soothing space-age voicing reminiscent of Terry Riley and Raymond Scott, all revolving around jazz. The integration of the unconvent…

Cecil Taylor Unit, Live At Fat Tuesday's February 10, 1980 First Visit
"This, the third release from the sequence of remarkable performances by Cecil Taylor’s Unit recorded at Fat. Tuesday’s in New York from 8-10 February 1980 (the previous two are It Is In the Brewing Luminous [Hat Hut], and Live At Fat Tuesday’s, February 9, 1980 [ezz-thetics 101]), is a further illumination of the transformational premise which conceptualized and catalyzed Taylor’s music, from creative impulse to spiritual and self-defining fulfillment." – Art Lange

Patterns
Biggest Tip Possible! Classic free jazz album reissued for the first time since the '70s. Old-style Gatefold LP, with liner notes by Ed Hazell. Noah Howard, an alto saxophonist and composer, was known for weaving intricate and innovative musical patterns, often likening his work to "sound paintings." His 1971 album Patterns, the first LP he self-produced on his Altsax label, stands as a testament to his experimental and spiritual approach to music. In interviews, Howard frequently used visual te…
Nature's Consort
Bomb! Obscure and outstanding free jazz album reissued for the first time since its original release in 1969. Old-style gatefold LP, with liner notes by Ed Hazell. In the late 1960s, young jazz musician Bobby Naughton, a keyboardist and vibraphonist, faced significant challenges as he sought to record his first album.

* Edition of 300 copies. High thickness cardboard with opaque laminated cover.

But Tchicai’s importance doesn’t end there. Born in…
