Free Jazz and Improvisation on LP and CD 1965-2024
Free Jazz and Improvisation on LP and CD 1965-2024
New and updated edition of Johannes Rød’s landmark guide to Free Jazz & Improv labels originally compiled and published in 2014 (copies of that first edition will set you back $$$), and now hugely expanded for this new edition. Spread over 428 pages, we’ll wager it’s the kind of thing anyone who is a regular follower of this site will obsess over - a curated label-by label breakdown of key imprints operating in free/spiritual jazz and improvisation and related areas of the avant-garde, experimental, contemporary and modern composition, with labels including Another Timbre, Black Truffle, ECM, ESP-DIsk’, Improvised Music From Japan, Incus, Otoroku, P.S.F., Saravah, Smalltown Supersound, Strata-East, Treader, Tzadik and countless others - 185 labels in total. Each label has a description followed by a line by line detail of relevant releases on the label, by year and catalogue number, beautifully designed by Kim Hiorhøy like an artist’s notebook, and printed on artisanal uncoated paper for added tactile wonder, with many cover images included too.
