A new imprint from the wonderful Okraina label out of Brussels!
These will be double-10”, in gorgeously designed gatefold sleeves, with full-size, eight-page booklets of photographs.
To start, lovely, unusual duets on five-string banjo and steel pan (also slit drums and gamelan). Flowing and meditative; open-air; enjoyably less arsey about folk, soulfulness and melody than much Improvisation. (When Jaki Liebezeit renounced Free Jazz, he said it had too many rules.) For the label it evokes Laraaji and Bill Orcutt.
