Miłość was a Polish free-jazz powerhouse from 1988 to 1992, and became well-known around the world thanks to their collaborations with Lester Bowie, the trumpet player from the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians and the Art Ensemble of Chicago.

[Music] John Zorn – Nosferatu: The Stalking
[Music] Abul Mogard – Staring At The Sweeps Of The Desert
Abul Mogard is a Serbian composer and former steel mill worker whose work I came across three or so years ago. Understated but powerful stuff.
[Music] THE POST-DECADENT SINGERS by THE POST-DECADENT SINGERS
I don’t know what is going on in France that is drawing in such amazing talent from outside her borders (it’s probably the incredibly good quality of local performers who are developing massive catalogs and worldwide respect for their bodies of work), but the country is seeing a small explosion of creativity. One case-in-point is the Mexican guitarist Hector Javier Ayala. He has begun releasing some incredible CDs recently (his newest will be reviewed here soon, but this particular album was done in collaboration with drummer Cedric Lemaire. The recordings are sparse, but gel together quite nicely. A lot of the material reminded be of Derek Bailey and is free improvisations with percussionists around the world.

[Music] John Coltrane – Coltranology Vol. 2
Sundays are great days for indulging in John Coltrane albums.
[Music] Maja S. K. Ratkje – Live at the Punkt Festival 2013
Last night, I had the pleasure of viewing a performance by Norwegian vocalist/composer Maja Ratkje, something I’ve wanted to do for well over ten years, though my schedule never seemed to allow this to happen. It was even more of a wonderful experience than I expected, but as I don’t think anyone took video of the performance, I am happy to share a similar performance from 2013.
[Music] Santiago Fradejas – Sketches For Sarah, Vol. 2
I had the pleasure of reviewing Mrs. Fradejas a couple of days ago, and now it’s time to review Mr. Fradejas! Santiago’s new release sits in an equally unique point on the music reference chart. One can find something akin to post-Industrial noise, a brutalist interpretation of contemporary classical music, improvisation in the fine European-American free jazz tradition, and avant-progressive rock which labels like Cuneiform Records champion. Another masterpiece by one of the best young composers operating in Europe today.
