Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Om - Sudpol (CD) (New (N))
Om made history from 1972 to 1982 combining the energy of rock music with the power of free improvisation. With enormous vitality they bring together the experiences of a young generation electrified by Jimi Hendrix, fascinated by John Coltrane and inspired by free jazz. Om introduced rock music into spontaneous musical processes with uncertain endings. "ElectroAcoustiCore" is what the iconic band calls their music. In 2022, Om celebrated it's 50th anniversary with the album called 50. One month before it's release, Fredy Studer passed away. "In the spirit of survival, Om carried on, touring to support 50 and adding two drummers to fill the titan Studer's shoes," writes Kurt Gottschalk in the liner notes, adding: "Om steps into it's second demi-siècle as an energetic and insightful outfit." On Südpol, long-time members Urs Leimgruber, Christy Doran and Bobby Burri are joined by master percussionists Gerry Hemingway and Tony Buck. The journey goes on!

On their fourth studio record, the bandintroduces an all-star line-up of new singers including Mariam Elhajli and Carolina Oliveros (of Combo Chimbita). Elhajli and Oliveros both tap into the raw energy of Celia and La Lupe, but turn the lens toward something more intimate: themes of loss, upheaval, and the weight of the immigrant experience.

Every note is finely carved, every emotion restrained so it can resonate more deeply.This is a quest for the essential.Sponsored by Henri Texier, the album is an experience - a sensory immersion where emotion is born from slowness.Listening to Pearls means allowing time to stretch, and discovering that true beauty arises not from immediacy, but from depth.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Ran Blake / Eade,Dominique - Roots And Byways (CD) (New (N))
Roots & Byways is a model 21st-century recital of 20th-century song, a well-rounded program of jazz, folk, soul, stage, movie, and TV tunes rife with interconnections. There are five or six jazz art songs (counting Mancini's "Dreamsville"), four in a row at the top. Max Roach's "Mendacity" has a dead earnest political lyric, contrasted with the Gershwins' satirical "Who Cares" (sung, in 1931 musical Of Thee I Sing, by a self-absorbed US President). Two tunes from the French include Michel Legrand's Umbrellas of Cherbourg ballad "Watch What Happens," the closer here whose melody alludes to the opener "Mood Indigo." There's one R&B obscurity-"I Remember," a deep track from the 1973 sophomore album by Memphis family band the Sylvers-and a stone soul classic which spawned few jazz versions, Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love for You," where Dominique Eade catches the central contradiction between the melody's soaring confidence and the lyric's wallow in self-abnegation. American lyrics often get weird or grim of course. That one's followed by the tale of another troubled soul who's fallen far, the Hank Williams chestnut "Lost Highway." And then there's "On Top of Old Smokey," homey oldie kids are taught to sing. It's cheery finish: "You'll be forsaken/And never know why."Our duo's spontaneous treatments of these rich songs are just as singular. So it goes with a singer who paraphrasing the astute Ed Hazell-combines uncynical youthful exuberance with depth of experience. She illuminates those lyrics and their implications. And then there's celebrated pianist Ran Blake's deft pedaling, exquisite touch, spare and/or metallic chord voicings, deep feeling for a tune's nuances, and ability to paint a scene. Hear his piano glossing the lyric of the first verse of Mingus's gorgeous "Portrait," or on the top of "Old Smokey": chaste chords as blindingly white as sun on fresh snow; then dark clouds roll in.A Blake paradox: he's enjoyed longtime working relationships with several singers (none longer than Eade) while drawing inspiration from Monk's subversive/treacherous comping strategies. (Monk's own helpful advice: "Don't listen to me. I'm supposed to be accompanying you!") Hear the Ivesian clusters Blake drops behind Eade at the beginning of "Mendacity." There are abundant examples of such oblique backing strategies here. Blake might comment on the action with harmonies or decorative phrases that pivot to another key (leaving Dominique free to follow or hold steady). Or he'll disappear altogether when a tune's end comes into view. Doesn't faze her a bit.Ran Blake and Dominque Eade first worked together over four decades ago when she came to New England Conservatory as a student-a partnership that grew closer after she joined the faculty. For this recital, he picked all the tunes. Eade says, "The 'Roots' in the title, that's the more familiar material, like 'Pannonica' or Chris Connor's 'Way Out There.' The new stuff we learned together, to really get to know the melodies so we can confidently take them in any direction. We want to honor a song, but it's not a still life. Ran likes to play together a lot, to build trust"-sensitive to byways they might discover in the moment. Eade sings the little-known Chet Baker vehicle "Grey December" straight, after taking great liberties with the ultra-familiar "Mood Indigo" (swinging, slow, over Ran's donkey-lope on the bridge). Her tour de force is a no-holds-barred "What's Your Story, Morning Glory," that ancestor to "Heartbreak Hotel" (via "Black Coffee") where her swoops, dips, and swerves approach both ends of her considerable range, in response to all the ways Ran audibly eggs her on. Listen to the minefield he lays when she re-enters after his solo chorus, and how she responds in kind: that's a big comfort zone. Tracklist: Mood Indigo Grey December Mendacity Saving All My Love for You Lost Highway Who Cares Dreamsville Les Grognards Way Out There Pannonica What's Your Story, Morning Glory You Go to My Head I Remember On Top of Old Smokey Watch What Happens UPC: 016728181327Label: SunnysideRelease Date: 7.3.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Reality - Disco Party (CD) (New (N))
Mr Bongo presents a reissue of one of the rarest releases on the illustrious and now ultra-rare tax scam label TSG Records. A label with a checkered past, operated by Lloyd Price and with alleged ties to boxing promoter Don King. The album in question, Disco Party by Reality, is a stunning journey through '70s dancefloor-focussed funk into early proto-disco grooves. Back in mid-'70s Manhattan, Dr. Otto Gomez and a group of fellow New York musicians including Tony Dixon, Norman Drayton, Tony Dupree, Al Jones and Fred Nanton were brought in for a recording session by songwriter and producer, Billy Nichols. Laying down one of Nichols' songs and a selection of the group's own, they were paid as session musicians and thought little of it. The tapes came to the attention of Lloyd Price who struck a deal with Nichols unbeknownst to Gomez and the rest of the band. Price then pressed the album and put it out in 1976 on a newly formed subsidiary label, TSG Records, that would later be documented as one of the US tax scam labels of the '70s. Such labels were created to exploit a loophole in the US tax system, running up inflated production costs / losses that investors or the parent label could write off against their tax bills. Releases on these labels were never intended to have commercial success. They would usually be produced in incredibly limited pressing numbers and have little to no promotion or distribution. As such many of these records instantly fell into obscurity, becoming mythical amongst DJs and record collectors. Sadly, this meant that artists like Dr. Otto Gomez and friends never had the chance for their record and their talents to shine at the time. In fact, it was only when Jazzman reached out for their 2022 reissue that Dr. Otto Gomez became aware that the album had ever been released and heard the story behind it.Disco Party is a time capsule where '70s instrumental funk edges and intertwines into an early disco sound. The sessions are for the dancefloor, minimalist and groove-based. The bass and drums are at the forefront, providing the pulse of the album. Driving funky guitar licks, and a brilliant horn section weave their way in and out of the productions. Highlights include the uplifting feel-good 'Let's Party People', the early disco swagger of 'Reality', and 'Disco Party (Let's Have A)' with it's wah-wah groove and percussion break, which could easily have found it's home on a Blaxploitation film soundtrack of the period.It's not just rarity that makes this record so sought after, but rather the fact that it is a superb example of dancefloor-focussed mid '70s funk and disco. Tracklist: Reality Road Disco Party (Let's Have A) Welcome Movin' ; Groovin' Let's Party People You Keep Me Holdin' On Clap ; Hustle UPC: 5024017007284Label: Mr BongoRelease Date: 6.26.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Red Kite - This Too Shall Pass (CD) (New (N))
There have been quite a few changes for the Norwegian jazz rock band Red Kite. As the band explains: What can we say? It's been a weird time. A lot has happened, and none of it good! First of all, we had to postpone things for a while, as Bernt André Moen was going through some health issues that eventually led him to stepping down permanently. So that sucked. But there were deaths along the way too. We lost friends, a cat, a swan - even Ozzy and Ace! It's a bleak backstory, but there have been some positives. Old friend and saxophonist Gisle Johansen, who was originally only going to guest on the album, is now in the band. And luckily for us, another friend, Ståle Storlokken, was able to help out on short notice with the keyboards. So terrible times were had by all, but also a few laughs. Today's line-up of Red Kite consists of Even Hermansen - guitars, Trond Frones - bass, Torstein Lofthus - drums and Gisle Johansen - saxophone. For fans of: Mahavishnu Orchestra, Alice Coltrane, Black Sabbath, Terje Rypdal.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Salin - Rammana (CD, Deluxe) (New (N))
Critically acclaimed drummer, producer, and composer Salin, known for her innovative blend of global rhythms, today re-releases her highly anticipated album, Rammana. After receiving a Juno nomination for Global Music Album of the Year this groundbreaking work, a vibrant testament to Salin's continued artistic growth, houses 10 meticulously crafted tracks including previously shared singles "Si Chomphu", "Current", "Egungun", "Puaj", "Painted Lady", and album title track "Rammana". Rammana is a deeply personal journey, weaving together the sounds of Northeast Thailand with the psychedelic soul of 1970s West Africa, all filtered through Salin's distinct modern production ear. Inspired by the traditional drum and folk songs of the Urak Lawoi, an indigenous nomadic island tribe, Salin's album is a celebration of musical migration and exchange of East and West. "With Rammana, I aimed to weave together some of my biggest musical influences," Salin explains. "I built the foundation on African rhythms, recognizing them as our original roots, and was obsessed by it's polyrhythms. I then layered in the syncopated line of Thai Funk and jazzy chords to infuse them with traditional Thai musical elements, giving you what I call Afro-Thai Funk. Salin's journey to Rammana began with travels to Koh Lanta, off the coast of Krabi province, where she immersed herself in the musical traditions of the Urak Lawoi. Learning directly from the elder Urak Lawoi musicians, she discovered a connection between the Rammana drum and the tribe's traditional spiritual celebrations. The album's layered rhythms and soulful melodies create a cohesive listening experience of deeper understanding, inviting listeners to join Salin on her journey through an immersive world that will demand repeated listens. Salin is a JUNO-nominated drummer, producer, and composer whose music explores the enchanting sounds of Northeast Thailand and marries it with the 70's psychedelia of West Africa, all through the lens of modern soulful production. Through her music, she ponders themes of identity, spirituality, and humanity, all paired with a dose of fun to create a unique sonic journey for her listeners. After Rammana gained international recognition from Bandcamp Weekly, CBC Music, KEXP, Exclaim!, Stereofox, Glide Magazine, Radio-Canada, the Montreal Guardian she went on to tour across the US, Canada nad Europe, selling out headline shows and supporting Kokoroko and Yussef Dayes. Salin is a rapidly accelerating force in modern world jazz and her star is will only rise further in 2026.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Simon Kuhn - Containment - Jazz Thing Next Generation Vol. 114 (CD) (New (N))
The Debut Album of Simon Kuhn and his quartet is a culmination of the musicians first two years of shaping their sound together. Ania Badura on Violin, Jan Schrullkamp on Guitar, Kevin Hemkemeier on acoustic bass and Simon Kuhn on drums take on eight original compositions, which they worked on and shaped during their studies at Folkwang University. Then refined within concerts of the year before recording, these versions of the pieces, which inspirations range from chamber music to post-bop, are characterized by dense interplay and a coherent yet versatile sound.In the phase of rehearsels before the recording, we four met in an ensemble room and recorded the tunes for the album with a minimal mic setup, so we could listen and think about the specifics but also the overall feeling and pacing of the album. When I had a lesson with Leif Berger, I showed him some of the test recordings and I am very grateful for the suggestions for improvement he gave me.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Spite Of Darkness - Spite Of Darkness (CD) (New (N))
Detroit Violinist and composer Mike Khoury presents his two drummer/two violin ensemble Spite of Darkness. Their forthcoming debut on Entropy Stereo Recordings features loft era veteran violinist, Jason Hwang, drummer and Ed Blackwell disciple, Andrew Drury, and longtime collaborator, drummer Ben Hall, known for his work with Bill Dixon and Ken Vandermark.Compositionally, the project grew from an experiment where Khoury immediately recognized the compositional possibilities that would allow him to write for himself and Hall, and fold it open into a mirrored Rorschach of their own interests in Stockhausen, Folkways, string ensemble over drum choir, Leroy Jenkins and Rashid Ali's groundbreaking record, "Swift are the Winds of Life" or Ornette Coleman's double quartet experiments if Bela Bartok wrote for them. Khoury has focused this work on redefining the balance of composition and improvisation and the recovery of the violin as a valid folk instrument as opposed to jazz or classical and today performs with his Detroit version of the band.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Sun Ra & His Arkestra - East Two + 7 (CD) (New (N))
EAST TWO + 5 comprises previously unreleased tracks from one of Sun Ra's most productive periods: 1972-73. Those two hectic years saw Sun Ra recording numerous albums, staging concerts, teaching at Berkeley, acting in and composing the score for a full-length movie, embarking on a multi-album (though ill-fated) major label deal, and touring the U.S. and Europe. The title track, "East Two," is one of two pieces on this album originating at a two day October 1972 session at Chicago's Streeterville Studios. It's an ominous, sprawling processional, and the only known recording of this moody work. Arkestra baritone saxophonist Pat Patrick played electric bass on this session, which also featured Ra's typically idiosyncratic synth, along with fine solos from Kwame Hadi (trumpet) and Arkestra mainstay John Gilmore (tenor sax). The other track is an alternate version of "Rocket #9" where Ra's voice is scarcely heard in the ensemble vocals in favor of the Space Ethnic Voices. Additional material is taken from 1973 Variety Studios sessions in NYC including "In Tomorrow's Realm," where veteran Arkestra bassist Ronnie Boykins provided the anchor with his bass line forming it's vital rhythmic framework. This would be the final year Boykins worked regularly with Ra and this track is a fitting tribute to his role in the band, demonstrating how essential he was to Sun Ra's sound. CD version contains additional tracks of two live performances from 1984 and 1985.
