Henry Kuntz & Paul V. Kuntz | JAsZ KHARdMA
“The title JAsZ KHARdMA stems from Paul’s occasional use of a number of R. Crumb’s Early Jazz Greats Trading Cards inside the piano, laying the cards across the strings to achieve a flapping percussive effect.” — Henry Kuntz

Henry Kuntz | Sonic Flares
As always when using these instruments, I ignored the scale and tuning differences between them to allow for an expanded sound range and an overlapping of divergent tonal occurrences.

Henry Kuntz | IINFIINIITY
“The process of multi-track creation has been an ongoing musical exploration and experiment, the results of which have consistently surprised and delighted me. I hope you enjoy listening.” — Henry Kuntz
Jealousy Party | Live
Disturbed and unsociable electronics, squirts of songs, saxs, laptop and CD’s in flames and histrionic vocal manipulations…
… With a punk attitude!

Thollem Mc Donas & Nicola Guazzaloca | Noble Art
Outstanding live performance: two piano players dancing the self-discovering music, the self-revealing touch, the self-delivering art.
EAR & NOW | Eclipse
EAR&NOW delivers a perfected work where it is easier to feel the harshness of lives moving there, like sharpnesses of a tide, darkened by a lunar Eclipse. Eclipse is each one’s other side.
Marjolaine Charbin and Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg | Quelles bouches voleront en éclats
Following meetings during improvised music concerts in Brussels, graduated jazz pianist Marjolaine Charbin and autodidact vocal improvisor Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg began working privately as a rehearsal duo in February 2008. The mutual music clicked quickly and surprisingly for both improvisors.
Cristiano Calcagnile and Monica Demuru | Blastula | Scarnoduo
Cristiano Calcagnile, percussions | Monica Demuru, voice
“SCARNODUO” is a beautiful, pure, neo narrative, dramatic work- performance by Monica Demuru, voice and Cristiano Calcagnile on percussions.
A compelling, dialogic force, crossing intimate and universal depths, with a huge re-combinatory possibility. Words are sounds coming from ancestral tales and future lines. Sounds are words going to [...]
Gianni Lenoci | Carlos Zingaro | Marcello Magliocchi | Serendipity
Edition number sixteen of Amirani records is SERENDIPITY
Recorded live at 2007 Bari jazz festival here is an excellent and vivid performance. The free violin legend Carlos Zingaro along with the subtleness of Gianni Lenoci ‘s touch on and in the piano and the colourful energetic percussion of Marcello Magliocchi deliver a fresh, [...]
EA Silence | Cono di Ombra e Luce
Whispering shadows gently flowing in the hidden dark space of an ancient synagogue. A morphing thunder pushed by acoustical swords, generating long distance waves and slow, inexorable tides. A stunning contemporary work deeply conceived to get perfect sounding ideas, dancing with the space around.
Henry Kuntz and Paul V. Kuntz | Year of the Ox
“These are the first recordings Paul and I have made together in 25 years. We had fun improvising and spontaneously shaping the music; each piece grew out of its own organic logic.” — Henry Kuntz
Frantz Loriot and Tonino Miano | Ulysses
“A gaze into the timeless concept of journey and self discovery. An idyllic and haunting musical voyage where Loriot and Miano make use of all the tools at their disposal to read in between the lines of Homer’s creation.”
Edoardo Marraffa and Tonino Miano | Edus Tonus
“A bold duo with a pungent, forward-pushing sound, where familiar lines are blurred into a tumultuous outpouring of dynamic, and often humorous gestures.”

Three crea(c)tive musicians coming from different and sometimes distant areas meeting in a magical recording session. Unpredictable and intriguing music, never obvious, crossing avant-jazz, concrete, romantic, ever passionate and surprising.

The duo is translucent and light formula, first communication nucleus, distance to live, exploration of a moment-built spaces.

A concept of transit, of movement, of the nomadism of thoughts, of the impossibility of settling, and of our belonging to a journey.
Moe! Staiano’s Moe!Kestra! | Two Forms of Multitudes: Conducted Improvisations
“A mass amount of musicians playing in huge clusters in a dissonant array, forming a wall of musical noise. I have always enjoyed working with a large orchestra using multitudes of the same instrument. I love a large sound or many players playing all at once in a massive frenzy.” — Moe! Staiano
Illàchime Quartet | I’m Normal, My Heart Still Works
Gathered sounds and noises from the surroundings as well as scattered fragments of acoustic memories, which form the texture for the interventions of the musicians along rough and terse lines, often improvised.

J.A. Deane | Never Never Land
Come with us now to the thrilling days of yesteryear, cushioned by the sumptuous sonorous harmonies on this Peter Pan voyage to discovery. Ten-piece ensemble amidst silent movie. David Prince of THE SANTA FE REPORTER picked this one of the FIVE BEST OF 2001.
Stefan Dill | Flower and Song
“One of the principal attractions for me in performing improvised music is the telepathy, the connectivity that can occur between accomplished improvisers: the immediate call and response, the ability to find each others pitches, the simultaneity of rhythmic gestures and phrases.” — Stefan Dill
High Desert Duo | Inside The Landscape
These guys rewrote the Declaration of Independence. Homegrown and sky high. To me, jazz generally speaks of big cities. Here we have a breakthrough to the language of the high mountainous deserts & sagebrush of New Mexico.
J.A. Deane | These Times
“You gotta see this one to believe it… Dino in Boston, 1988, with 4 drum machines and 2 guitarist, one of whom is Bill Frisell.” — Mark Weber

Percussion & trombone / electronics. Meteoric engagement. Cumulative effect. Eine Kleine buenas noches nachtfockingmusik.

These guys are Roswell Rudd’s back-up band when he comes to New Mexico. Luxuriant maelstrom. Blissful chaos. No trivial corridor. Heraldic trombones !
J.A. Deane, Mark Weber | Vehicle Vortex Vertigo
Hubcaps & poetry. Used cars three year warranty. We were asked to do this installation at an art gallery for this city-wide cultural provocation on the theme of auto transportation. Autotransportation?? — Mark Weber

“The real events are long gone. It is not intended that these CDs be listened to in one sitting… and that’s a health warning!” — Jon Rose
Opeye | Moss ‘Comes Silk
Highlights the formal advances possible in group playing when free improvisation is approached in its most natural manner. The uniqueness and complexity of each player’s part is expanded to the farthest extent possible while maintaining a recognizable group entity and musical identity.
Henry Kuntz | Bolivia (1986) Native Ritual Music from Italaque
Music from the Fiesta de la Invención de la Santa Cruz May 3, 1986. All of this music was recorded outdoors on basic equipment in “real life” circumstances.
