Golden Flower: Live In Sweden
There are musicians who play jazz and there are musicians who expand its very definition. Yusef Lateef was the latter - a visionary who brought the oboe, the argol, the shanai, the bamboo flute and countless other instruments into the jazz vocabulary decades before "world music" became a marketing category. Golden Flower: Live in Sweden presents two never-before-released concert recordings that capture this master at the height of his powers, finally emerging from the Sveriges Radio tape vaults …

Pirateborg
For the first explorers, the Dark Caribbean was paradise. They had found only deserted islands and rich treasures. It was only when thousands left their overcrowded and corrupted homelands to colonize the islands that the Scourge appeared… Frightening screams echoed across the beaches, and from the night-black waves the undead rose. Terror spread like wildfire. First they came one at a time, then entire hordes, and soon the settlements were submerged by rivers of lifeless, nameless creatures. Po…

Cumbia Cumbia Cumbia!!! (Vol. 4)

Pax Westphalica

All in all this concert is very intense, so instead of the anniversary edition we decided to release this concert; we hope you like it too…
The group starte…

An exceptional studio band of session musicians with a formidable groove, they released only a handful of albums under this name in the second half of the 1970s. However, their sound indelibly shaped dozens of “invisible” soundtracks, often without ever receiving an official credit on the back sleeve.
Led by pianist and composer Oscar Rocchi, and featuring Andrea …
