The band moved to a more organised style of playing, which, combined with the humour of the covers, gave the impression of being a bit of a letdown, but the content was excellent, and the album is a masterpiece of well-crafted songs with a lot of attention to detail. The aggression has receded, but the psychedel…

Astronotes
2025 stock In the ever-mutable landscape of Dutch jazz, Joost Buis’s Astronotes stands as a testament to the playful collision of composition and improvisation.

From the opening bars of “The Eggs,” it’s clear that Buis is less interested in adhering to tradition than in subverting it with wit and invention. The b…
Slang
2025 stock In the shadowy interstices of contemporary jazz and free improvisation, Slang by Elastic Jargon emerges as a document of restless inquiry and coded communication.

Elastic Jargon—true to their name—stretch the language of jazz until it snaps, then reassemble the fragments into something at once familiar and alien. The group’s a…
