'Tranform I' is the debut album from rootsy reggae outfit Dubkasm. The Bristol based crew have a neat line in mixing Brazilian samba elements with their homegrown dub reggae sound, resulting in a rich fusion of militant steppas and skanking roots with Brazilian instrumentation like Berimbau, Zabumba, Cavquinho and Cuica. The project also involves nine volcalists from both sides of the Atlantic, connecting Brazilian singers like Ras Bernado and Jeru Banto with, errr, Levi Roots, Tena Stelin and Afrikan Simba. Fans of RSD's Bristol sound will love this.

Once Upon a Time is one of an amazing 20 albums tenor saxophonist
Alan Skidmore appeared on in 1969 and 1970 (including several veritable classics of British jazz,
Mike Gibbs' Tanglewood 63,
John Surman's
How Many Clouds Can You See?,
Stan Tracey's Seven Ages of Man, and
Graham Collier's Songs for My Father). The lineup of this particular quintet, which represented Britain at the 1969 Montreux Jazz Festival, is truly stellar: in addition to
Skidmore there's Canadian trumpeter/flügelhorn virtuoso
Kenny Wheeler, pianist
John Taylor, bassist
Harry Miller, and percussionist
Tony Oxley. Two of the six tracks are credited to
John Surman, and one, the sultry "Old San Juan," is penned by
John Warren,
Surman's collaborator on Tales of the Algonquin, another classic release from the same year. If the
Surman material reveals the discreet influence of the late-'60s
Miles Davis quintet,
Oxley's "Majaera" begins to explore the more dangerous territory of free playing he would return to the following year on his Four Compositions for Sextet. Elsewhere,
John Taylor's "The Yolk" is a boisterous, brilliant piece of hard bop, and the last three tracks, segued together as a suite, explore a similarly wide range of styles. So much so that
Skidmore aficionados tend to prefer the greater coherence of the following year's septet release on Philips, TCB, but Once Upon a Time remains one of the landmark albums of British jazz. ~ Dan Warburton, All Music Guide

''Southern Illinois native Zac Nelson is a drummer, and knowing that you should also know that he is a madman. One of the few known photos of him looks like a cult leader or someone who might know a thing or two about eating diamonds. While he is a current member of Who's Your Favorite Son God and Prints, Hexlove is Nelson all by himself going nuts. Nelson's enthusiastic mania is not just in the realm of Keith Moon-ness but as a multi-instrumentalist who channels Dennis Wilson, Neil Michael Haggerty, and post-Vision Creation Newsun Boredoms, and combine it all and play it off like it was mixed by Tod Dockstader. No one is ever going to think you should listen to Knew Abloom on nitrous because it already sounds like it's on nitrous. Simply put, Hexlove is unlike anything and sounds exactly like right now should. ''

''...The Unkindess of Crows isn’t out of nowhere. Old gods just don’t show up one day. There are signs, cosmic warnings…a murdered albino, crop circles. You know, a reunion show here, a collaboration with Greg Anderson
there. But what marks this album, performed by only himself and drummer Tyler Smith, from all the rest of Densley’s catalog isn’t just the approach – heavy and minimal — but the all-out theatricality of it.
Eagle Twin certainly sounds like the sky opening up to vomit cosmic malevolence all over you....''

''..it was the Goodman Quartet tha t set the jazz world on fire.This was a group that swung
with such dazzling fire and authority,a group that caressed a ballad with such a compelling
flow of warmth and richness tha all of a sudden every big swing band had to have a subsidiary
small group....''
TOGETHER AGAIN!S.

MUSIC FROM THE FIRST FLOORS.
Frederick Knight's catchy "I've Been Lonely for So Long" was a sizable R&B hit on Stax in 1972, and he wrote and produced Anita Ward's across-the-board smash "Ring My Bell" in 1979. Knight cut his own "I've Been Lonely for So Long" in Birmingham, Alabama with a seasoned southern soul crew behind him, and hit again in 1975 with "I Betcha Didn't Know That."
I've Been Lonely for So Longs.
''...Sakata, Corsano, and Gray have mastered well through numerous collaborations and releases, but it all comes to glorious fruition within
Friendly Pants. The idea that is has taken 20 years for Sakata's music to reach American shores once more is a sad thought but we can be glad that
Friendly Pants will serve as a constant reminder that the best the jazz world has to offer will always find its way back home. ''

"Purveyor of expertly controlled chaotic saxophone experimentation John Butcher (UK) is joined by German contrabassist Torsten Muller and Vancouver drummer Dylan van der Schyff for this recording from the Vancouver Jazz Festival. The former British theoretical physicist leads the trio through their first performance together with almost inhuman attention to musical detail."
