The second son of King Jammy, Trevor James aka Baby G is at the cutting edge of the new wave of dancehall producers. Jammy’s stalwarts Ward 21 and newcomers Rasta Youth on the mic.

This beautiful acoustic cut is previously unissued. Raw soulful lovers, with close-harmony backing, and double bass and guitar as irresistible as Egyptian Reggae. Terrific.

Engaged and spiritual Yoruban blues-rock from Joni Haastrup’s band in 1974.

Superb improvising by the Cool School alumnus, taking a line for a walk in all directions, before magically bringing it home. Gary Foster’s alto is uncannily attuned to Marsh, and the rhythm section swings. Including two canonical Tristanos and a Konitz — and some OG Bach to close, a bit tongue-in-cheek, with tantalising brevity. Recorded in 1969 for the Revelation label.

With Ekoplekz and Andres mixes.

E-flat, b-flat and bass clarinets, soprano and alto saxophones, birdcalls, viola, banjo, cymbals, wood, trees, sand, land, water, air.
Recorded outdoors in 1977, in the Black Forest, near Aufen.
