The expanded 75 Dollar Bill's affinity for improvisation and the avant-garde even leads to a rousing take on the Ornette Coleman classic, 'Friends and Neighbors' that feels right at home in their own repertoire. The listener can't help but feel present and part of the communal joy and catharsis being shared here in this room.

Deeply influenced by Hindustani, Carnatic, and West Africa music, he founded the Bitter Funeral Beer Band in 1980, an ensemble of 12 elements, basing his ideas on the traditional funeral music of the people of LoBirifor, in the northern region of Ghana. The sound material reinterprets the spirit of the funeral ritual, when the dance and its songs become a moment of catharsis, releasing a sense of joy in the trance for the liberation from pain. The marriage between this Afro-polyrhythmic roots, with the spiritual jazz of the eternal Don Cherry, and the Ondian sarod of K. Sridhar, it is in the direction to a pan-internationalism of profound spirituality, which blends different geographical traditions in a single contemplative gaze.

Born to a musical family, Kath moved through an early life absorbed and in love with the 60s sea change of musical expression, into a development of her own singular voice that would age to cast a wide net of influence. Her prolific relationship with Loren Mazzacane Connors in the 80s produced a body of work held sacrosanct by generations of avant-folk luminaries. In 2007 Chapter Music released a tribute album to her songs from that time recorded by Bill Callahan, Meg Baird, Devendra Banhart and others, and her song “Come Here” was featured memorably in Richard Linklater’s 1995 film “Before Sunrise”, in a scene which Ethan Hawke claims was “my favorite scene I ever filmed”.

While she has been encouraged to release new music for her new generation of fans, “Bye Bye These Are the Days” is the first to document her current band’s sound, which harkens back to the avant leanings of her work with Mazzacane, but the tension now is joyful and expert. This is the sound of a practiced life, learned in all stages of love and loss, and resolute to keep going, like a locomotive deep into the night. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALL SONGS BY KATH BLOOM (BMI)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKATH BLOOM - VOCALS, HARMONICA, GUITAR\u003cbr\u003eDAVID SHAPIRO - LEAD GUITAR, VOCALS\u003cbr\u003eFLOW NESS - PERCUSSION, VOCALS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTRACKS 2, 4, AND 5 RECORDED BY HENRY BIRDSEY AT KATH BLOOM'S HOUSE\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eALL OTHER TRACKS RECORDED BY JOHN MILLER\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMIXED BY HENRY BIRDSEY\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMASTERED BY MIKE DITRIO\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWATERCOLOR PAINTING BY KATH BLOOM\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDESIGN BY JON SAMUELS \u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Dear Life","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39320484446416,"sku":"","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/products\/kathbloom.jpg?v=1616105414"},{"product_id":"john-brantingham-life-orange-to-pear-book-bamboo-dart-press","title":"John Brantingham - Life, Orange To Pear Book (Bamboo Dart Press)","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBamboo Dart Press is a division of Shrimper Records in collaboration with Pelekinesis Books.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLife, Orange to Pear\u003c\/span\u003e follows a man and his daughter Cyndi as they deal with life, the occult, Santa Claus, boys, and death.

Born in 1934 and raised in the south Bronx, Brother Ah was playing jazz trumpet as early as fifteen years of age. Following a classical French horn education at Austria's Vienna State Academy, he emerged in the late '50s and established himself as a skilled and consistent session musician, playing with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, the Radio City Music Hall Orchestra, and numerous Broadway theater orchestras. Brother Ah recorded well into the '60s with some of the most illustrious names in the genre, including Donald Byrd, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Gil Evans and, perhaps most influentially, Sun Ra. In 1969, Ah formed his own group, the Musical Sound Awareness Ensemble, and released several works under his own name from 1974 onward. In the late '60s, his interest in non-western music developed, and his '70s recordings, incorporated elements of Eastern and 'Third World' music, fusing them with jazz structures. His first solo recording, Sound Awareness was released on the Strata East label in 1972. By this time, Ah had recorded extensively with the Sun Ra Arkestra and his solo work continued the boundary-pushing approaches he explored with that ensemble. Consisting of two side-length tracks, 'Beyond Yourself (The Midnight Confession)', and 'Love Piece', the album features notable appearances by percussionist Max Roach and the M'Boom Re:percussion Ensemble, as well as a 90-piece vocal choir. The 22-minute 'Beyond Yourself' is billed as 'a sound journey' in seven parts, outlining a man's struggle to either give up drugs or become a monk.\"\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Forced Exposure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39320500699344,"sku":"","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/products\/brotherahsound.jpg?v=1616106743"},{"product_id":"dennis-callaci-five-ghost-stories-book","title":"Dennis Callaci - Five Ghost Stories Book","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStaff favorite! WE love Dennis Callaci's fiction as much as we love his band, Refrigerator, and his Shrimper label.

He sings, “And I was joyous for you, but shattered none-the-less.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSuffused with a hazy and surreal quality, Crowley describes Watchful Eye’s poignant narratives as those which insisted themselves upon him. After the fact, it seemed these songs came to him more or less fully formed. “It’s a beautiful and mysterious thing,” he says. Perhaps it is a tendency to hold onto memories (“It’s taken me so long to write to you \/ Well I just couldn’t find a pen,” he laments in “Bread and Wine”), that allows him to unleash them lyrically in completion. For Crowley, the creative process is an organic event rather than a practice he feels compelled to regulate or control. He approaches lyrics much like he does short story writing. “The songs straddle the conscious and subconscious world and some are even psychedelic in my mind, but to me they are all at once true stories and born of another place,” he shares.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn making the album, Crowley moved between studio and at home recording, while John Parish (Aldous Harding, PJ Harvey) produced. The pair worked from tracks made initially by Crowley on a charity shop ¾ size nylon string guitar or Mellotron: “In this way, John wanted to keep some of the magic of that first take”, says Crowley. Contradictions and complexities are left intact, initial recordings were limited to one or two takes, and the songs feel more like a dream recounted upon waking. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese raw beginnings were then fleshed out more in the studio with Parish and additional musicians. Jim Barr of Portishead contributed double bass and was brought in to engineer parts of Watchful Eye in Bristol. Parish himself contributed instrumentation as well, his signature sense of drama lending Crowley’s work a new edge overall without disrupting its minimalism. Having members of Crash Ensemble in Dublin to record for only a few days’ time, Crowley recalls staying up all night to write string parts for “Northbound Stowaway,” which was recorded the following morning. While an ominous and steady drumbeat carries the track, Crowley laments, “And it’s drowsy work \/ When you’re staying invisible.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn ethereal escapism shines through Crowley’s lyrical imagery (“Underwater Song”), detailing his tortured return to a flooded, old neighbourhood where an unnamed acquaintance resides: “Last night in the throes of a fever \/ I went floating over your house.” Crowley’s voice serves as the central instrument, his deep and conversational baritone anchoring the tone on the album’s more effervescent tracks “Ships on the Water” and “The Colours of the Night”. His presence permeates the sonic and lyrical content of Watchful Eye, carrying the sorrow of the string instruments (violin, viola, viola d'amore and cello) and adding dimension to the clarinet and keyboard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinal track “Take Me Driving” opens with an arpeggiation, then unfolds into a swaying, melancholy outro. It highlights Crowley's skill at transforming a quiet, repeated phrase into something magnificent, mysterious, and wholly captivating – a story. Crowley leaves us here in his world, driving in a car with a flighty companion, unsure of where we’re going, but continuing nonetheless as he steps out the passenger side. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ba Da Bing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39338323837136,"sku":"600197016510","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/products\/adriancrowley.jpg?v=1616556293"},{"product_id":"david-nance-group-peaced-and-slightly-pulverized-lp","title":"David Nance Group - Peaced And Slightly Pulverized LP","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur pal and top-five humans on the planet is also one of our favorite songwriters.

In the early '90s, he began a series of home recordings which revealed a growing preference for acoustically based music, and formed the basis for Shelter from the Smoke as well as the follow-up Transit Byzantium (scheduled for a similar reissue treatment next year). Shelter also includes four electric tracks recorded with Fox's short-lived band The Radio Flyers. After a 1998 tour, Fox once again dropped out of music.\u003cspan class=\"break\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNow he is performing again. For how long, nobody knows. Fox is one of those rare musicians who really does not enjoy the limelight, even declining an interview with Joe Hagan of The Believer, who went so far as to fly to Cleveland in hopes of meeting him. That and his refusal to \"be on the internet\" has probably only helped the growing cadre of music fans who sees his solo albums as mysterious, lost classics. Or perhaps they just delight in the ringing sound of Fox's perfectly pitched voice or his deft lyricism. Either way, Fox's two solo albums are jewels not to be missed by anyone who enjoys traditional songcraft or iconic vocalists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2xLP comes with download card\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Revolver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39361381073104,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/products\/shelterfromthe.jpg?v=1617142202"},{"product_id":"bill-fox-transit-byzantium-2xlp","title":"Bill Fox - Transit Byzantium 2xLP","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBill Fox's deeply human, stunning second album.

His “Pals” rotated often and in this case include the banjo player Mike Gangloff (Jack’s old accomplice in Pelt as well as the Black Twig Pickers), Micah Blue Smaldone on guitar, Glenn Jones on guitar, Nathan Bowles (Black Twig Pickers) on washboard, and Philadelphia legend Harmonica Dan (“Knoxville Blues”).

The version heard here is more expansive and open-hearted, a waxing-and-waning piece of introspection. “Cathedral et Chartres” shares the same quiet romanticism, with rotating patterns and the chime of open strings, “Sundogs,” the sidelong drone abstraction that occupies Side B, stands alone among Jack’s solo work. A long-form live rendition of a track that appeared on the genre-defining triple album compilation “By The Fruits You Shall Know The Roots,” it is perhaps most evocative of Pelt, Jack’s previous band, a minor-key free drone, with only miniscule dynamic shifts and the occasional recognizable string accent.

Those who have been following this Philadelphia wanderer's development and growth as a solo artist (both live and on record) know that such a statement is strong praise, as Rose's catalog is certainly not devoid of unqualified classics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe album takes its title from the studio where it was recorded – Jason Meagher's Black Dirt Studios located in Westtown, New York. Old friends Rose and Meagher developed a good working relationship and full understanding of each other's work habits and styles over the course of a spring 2008 joint tour between Rose and one of Meagher's bands, D. Charles Speer \u0026amp; the Helix. Rose, that eternal road warrior, booked some time at Black Dirt between tours in August, September and October of 2008 to lay down some new and fully realized material. this album is the complete result of those sessions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRose's prior albums have tended to both pick and remain true to a musical theme. The Black Dirt Sessions excels by displaying fully honed examples of all of Rose's various styles and themes – traditional, raga and ragtime. Central to the album's spirit is the absolutely epic \"Cross the North Fork.\" This thirteen\u003c\/span\u003e minute revisiting of a track first laid down on the great Kensington Blues is a winding, thoroughly engrossing journey. This new version is the product of Rose's perfectionist streak which constantly pushes him to re-explore and re-visit his prior works. As presented on the Black Dirt Sessions, the \"new\" track is full of rich nuances from Rose's years of additional scrutiny of the original composition. much like Rose himself, \"Cross the North Fork\" is certainly comfortable in its skin and helps make it a welcome neighbor to the album's other splendid joys ranging from the jaunty and infectious \"Fishtown Flower\" (featuring a guest appearance from D. Charles Speer \u0026amp; the Helix's Hans Chew on ragtime piano) to the pensive and appropriate melancholy punch of \"Box of Pine.\"\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Three Lobed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39381768765648,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/products\/blackdirt.jpg?v=1617736447"},{"product_id":"sharon-van-etten-epic-ten-2xcd-pre-order","title":"Sharon Van Etten - epic Ten 2xCD","description":"\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 300;\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTenth Anniversary Reissue of Sharon Van Etten's classic album epic. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 300;\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSharon Van Etten:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eepic Ten 2xCD\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 300;\"\u003eCD1 is the original \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eepic.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 300;\"\u003eCD2 \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eis epic covered by\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Big Red Machine, IDLES, Lucinda Williams, Shamir, Courtney Barnett feat.
