i love the label.

i've bought perhaps a dozen offerings by download.

all my stuff has been of the avant style. i'm not sure what what other styles they offer. there's a ton of great live recordings from the glenn miller cafe.

I can't be the only one to love the irony of such avant jazz being played in a club named after Glenn Miller. :lol:

FYI, at least some of their albums are available on emusic. Worth sampling them there.

Yes, a label very worthy of your support. By all means, snag the Jimmy Lyons box set while its still available.

Agreed. I purchased that set when it first came out and listened to all five discs in one sitting right away. That box set enhanced my appreciation of Lyones exponentially. Before that, the only Lyons I heard was with Cecil Taylor. Since, I have purchased several of his other dates as a leader and can really hear just how significant he was.

I also recommend the Henry Grimes trio recording with David Murray and Hamid Drake. Excellent listening experience.

Fine label indeed!

I don't have that much (yet) and none of the downloadable ones.:

aylCD-004

Brötzmann/Uuskyla/Friis Nielsen

Live at Nefertiti

Peter Brötzmann, ts, tarogato, cl

Peter Friis Nielsen, el b

Peeter Uuskyla, dr

found that one just so-so...

aylCD-017/018

Anders Gahnold Trio

Flowers for Johnny

Anders Gahnold, as

Johnny Dyani, b

Gilbert Matthews, dr

probably my favourite next to the Lyons box - astonishingly strong and beautiful music, great playing by Dyani, good groovy drumming by Matthews... and Gahnold is quite a revelation! (Though this is all I've heard of him)

aylCD-032

Per Henrik Wallin Trio

The Stockholm Tapes

Per Henrik Wallin, p

Lars-Göran Ulander, as

Peter Olsen, dr

noisy 70s european free (think Schlippenbach, Brötzmann, Bennink etc etc) - not bad

aylCD-033

Albert Ayler Quartet

The Copenhagen Tapes

Albert Ayler ts

Don Cherry, tp

Gary Peacock, b

Sunny Murray, dr

great one, of course! was on sale for a looooong time recently, took them much too long to sell their final stock, too bad if you missed it! (the longer of the two sessions is in the Revenant box, strangely)

aylCD-036-040

Jimmy Lyons

The Box Set

Jimmy Lyons, as

Karen Borca, bassoon (039, 040)

Hayes Burnett, b (036, 037, 038)

Henry Letcher, dr (037)

Raphé Malik, tp (036)

Paul Murphy, dr (039, 040)

William Parker, b (040)

Sidney Smart, dr (036)

essential stuff!

aylCD-048/49

Mongezi Feza

Free Jam

Mongezi Feza, tp

Bernt Rosengren, as, ts, fl, p

Tommy Koverhult, ts, fl, euphonium

Torbjörn Hultcranz, b

Leif Wennerström, dr

Okay Temiz, percussion

rough and edgy music by Feza and the Rosengren quartet, with Okay Temiz added... not "great" music, but I think this is a very enjoyable release. rough sound, too...

aylCD-050/51

The Dynamic Duo

Remember Trane and Bird

Rashied Ali, dr, vo

Arthur Rhames, ts, p

Rhames is a legendary character, this is one of the few recordings available - not one I play often though, maybe just a bit too much of a good thing...

aylCD-053

Bayashi

Help Is On Its Way

Vidar Johansen, ts, bcl, fl

Bjørnar Andresen, b

Thomas Strønen, dr

got this one as a freebie in a sale, not sure about it, have only played it once I think...
