about

New York-based saxophonist and composer Jason Mears presents the debut recording of his Electric Quintet. Abstracted grooves reminiscent of 70’s Miles juxtapose with rich textural passages, all deriving from Mears’ unique notational system. Beautiful playing from some of New York’s finest musicians. Stellar cover art by Steven Baris!

Universal Beings
by Makaya McCraven

I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice. pandr1900
