Last Friday we organised a concert of a fine new quartet bringing together COLIN WEBSTER (on baritone saxophone), DIRK SERRIES (on archtop guitar), PHILIPP ERNSTING (on drums) and GONÇALO ALMEIDA (on double bass) at the beautiful chapel in Brecht. This quartet is a keeper. Here are some lovely photos from the show, courtesy of Jan Kees Helms and Jef Vandebroek. photos by Jan Kees Helms photos by Jef Vandebroek

UK's MUSIQUE MACHINE just reviewed two of our 4 new albums. TONUS' Analog Deviation proves to be a difficult album, although one of our faves over here at the office, but luckily compensated with the 4 out of 5 stars rated review of TRANSITION UNIT's debut album 'Face Value'. Both albums are available here. “4 out of 5 stars rating!...

Some label-related news : While José Lencastre and Dirk Serries are also member of the fine LEMADI TRIO (with Martina Verhoeven), they have been playing together in duo. For this limited 7 inch lathe cut release José and Dirk are in prime duo form. On alto sax and acoustic archtop guitar, and recorded at the Oude Klooster chapel in Brecht, Belgium, two beautiful examples of their interaction and ability to find an unified sound that is clearly their own, between the lyrical and warm tones of José on the alto sax and the spicky wilful style of Dirk on the guitar. ...

MARTINA VERHOEVEN QUINTET is probably one of the most free jazz and exciting live bands on our label. Fully routed in tradition but executed by a quintet of 5 excellent free improvisers. Dutch magazine Moors Magazine shines their light on the album with a very sympathetic and positive review. "Het Martina Verhoeven Quintet draait rond de verbazingwekkende pianovirtuositeit van de Belgische multi-instrumentaliste Martina Verhoeven. ...

De tip voor vanavond ! Het machtige trio BENEDICT TAYLOR (viola), TOM JACKSON (klarinet) en DANIEL THOMPSON (gitaar) speelt vanavond in de PlusEtage, in samenwerking met New wave of jazz. UK vrije improvisatie van de absoluut bovenste plank en een zeldzaamheid dat ze hier live spelen.

It's quite rare, and a fact, that THE WIRE hardly takes the trouble to feature anything of our label and affiliated artists, despite the strong UK connection. But thanks to kindred spirit, and brilliant guitarist/sound explorer, MATTHEW GRIGG two songs (from COLIN WEBSTER's Textural Studies and DIRK SERRIES' Solo Acoustic Guitar Improvisations II/III) are now featured on their Adventures In Sound And Music radioshow on Resonance FM. Thank you.
