Nublu Orchestra Conducted By Butch Morris
2025 stock. The question is simple, but the answer remains an enigma: "What is Nublu?" The legendary Avenue C club and label exists as a force seemingly without definition, where Forro in the Dark delivers hard-charging Brazilian folk one night, and I Led Three Lives entrances crowds with near-psychedelic tech-jazz two nights later. If there is any promise of unlocking this mystery, the Nublu Orchestra conducted by Butch Morris holds the key. The Nublu Orchestra assembles the multifaceted range …

The Dealer
Verve By Request continues its essential reissue series with Chico Hamilton's "The Dealer", a previously overlooked 1966 gem that captures one of jazz's most innovative drummers at a pivotal creative moment – and marks the recording debut of future fusion pioneer Larry Coryell. While Hamilton built his reputation discovering and nurturing young talent throughout his decades as a bandleader, "The Dealer" represents one of his most prescient finds. Coryell's solid and mellow performance lends a di…

Magonia LP
*200 copies limited edition* Overmacht means "force majeure"—a concept that perfectly captures the essence of the electronic music duo of María Pandiello and Jacco Gardner. It represents the uncontrollable forces that shape musical improvisation,where sound unfolds in response to the moment. At its core, Overmacht is musical dialogue with the unexpected, the accidental, and the fragile nature of creation.
“Magonia” is a debut album that blends playful precision with emotional depth, it's about d…
Found Keys
Found Keys is the debut album by American artist Ruth Maine. Although Ruth has been playing and composing music for over two decades, this is the first time she decided to record some of her varied compositions and share them with the public. But in times when it is the norm to clamour for attention, she prefers to go the opposite way. Ruth likes to let her music speak for itself and stay in the shadows.
The 16 short piano pieces heard on this album, each about two to three minutes long, were re…

In recent years, she has primarily composed works on commission for a diverse range of ensembles, from recorders to foghorns. On this solo album, her entire journey of musical encounters and compositions comes together subtly.Van Haegenborgh doesn't think in terms of stories or boxes, but rather in colours, energy, and texture - without drifting into the abstract.
She remains true to her personal inside piano world, inclu…

Baroque Non Baroque #27815 (LP)
*110 copies limited edition. Includes repulsive cover photo and hand-stamped labels* ‘Nothing compares to you’ was about Peter Fengler and Sinéad was right! There’s no losers here, just the bare and brutal leftovers of a very long night or a really early morning. Is the sound your uncle Peter makes sexy or sexist? Is knocking on wood kinky or slapping the salami sufficient? Is it a Karlheinz with a Karlsquell or a Cage with a Cara? Or just tins for fears? Complex comparisons more zonked than the…
Neither in the sky nor on the ground
Neither in the sky nor on the ground is the long-promised new album from Tbilisi-based producer and DJ Ani Zakareishvili. Initially prepared as a unique live set for Tkeshi festival with its own dialogue and dramaturgy, the record is now presented in purely instrumental form. But even though the narrative elements are gone, the album follows its own arc, it breathes, rises and falls, like the rib cage of a sleeping creature. Mysterious, spacious, yet vaguely familiar, 'Neither in the sky nor on …
Superstitions
Often dark, sometimes repetitive or experimental, sometimes rhythmical and exotic, always based on emotion inducted by the Sound. One could define it as dark age music (as opposite to new age music), a sort of minimal come back to the roots and purity of acoustic sound without the cultural background linked to the 'academic' use of some instruments (for example African senzas are transformed and tuned to sound like Indonesian instruments, sitar or harmonium are used as rhythmical instruments, va…
Eau
"Eau" is the lovely new album from aus, the solo project of Tokyo-born composer and producer Yasuhiko Fukuzono, who has gained attention, in Japan and overseas, for his thoughtfully paced and sensitively skillful music as well as his intriguing sound design for exhibitions and experimental cinema. Having worked primarily with keyboards and electronic sound up to this point, "Eau" is a slight yet fascinating shift for aus; the album, while still primarily an electronic work, revolves around the s…

"0 Points" is a limited edition 10-inch LP that explores the intersections of acoustic sound works, installations, and radio art, blending these mediums into an engaging sonic experience. The…
Carnaval 2
three:four records are thrilled to announce Carnaval 2, the ambitious new work by composer Alessandro Bosetti, performed by pianist Reinier van Houdt. Stemming from Bosetti and van Houdt's shared interest for Robert Schumann's Carnaval piece, Carnaval 2 is a complete reinterpretation (for piano and electro-acoustic interludes) of the original composition.
As incredible as it may seem, it took six years from an initial residency at GMEM studios in Marseille for this album to come to life. But the…
Montara
Celebrated vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, one of the most distinctive voices in modern jazz, presents Montara, a radiant album that blends Latin rhythms, soulful grooves, and his signature melodic brilliance. Released on Blue Note Records, this project captures Hutcherson at a creative high point, bringing together an ensemble of master musicians to craft a sound both deeply rooted in jazz tradition and vibrantly global in spirit.
On Montara, Hutcherson steps into a more expansive vision than …
Six Places
London-based musician Luke Cowan delivers his most expansive work yet with ‘Six Places’, a quietly dazzling suite that renders memory, geography and imagination as sound. Across six extended pieces recorded in Ely, Cambridge, York and London, Cowan bends the borders between composition and improvisation, everyday resonance and ensemble interplay, to arrive at a music that feels porous, fragile and strangely luminous. Cowan calls it “a collection of impressions of places. Some are real and some i…
Fireproof Sweat
Having written and sung in five languages on 2020’s “Uva Ursi”, Urs Graf Consort return to Italian for “Fireproof Sweat”, a record of irresistible charm, innovation and existential lyricism. “Ten years ago, a fire took the lives of four of our friends on rue Myrha in Paris, just a few months after Urs Graf Consort was founded. One of them — Nicolas Millet, a magnificent bookseller and Félix Fénéon specialist — was meant to be our bassist. The title Fireproof Sweat, and the album as a whole, ques…
