Mr Nordmark is something of a minimalist, but he makes use of the full array of electronic sound sources and processing tools now available. Eternal Words feels very large to the listener, implying wide stretches of land with its sweeping synths and slowly-cycling patterns. https://www.normanrecords.com/records/174347 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VOS 3 1 ALAN BRAUFMAN & COOPER-MOORE:LIVE AT WKCR, MAY 22, 1972 12" 04.2021 On May 22, 1972, the downtown NYC jazz saxophonist played live on the air at Columbia University's radio station WKCR, as a duo with pianist Cooper-Moore (then Gene Ashton). The musicians played an intense 18-minute set that was only heard once-live on the air. The tapes were recently found and remastered. Now, this raw and powerful document of New York City's early seventies avant-garde jazz scene will be released on vinyl for the first time ever, as a single-sided 12", limited to 250 copies worldwide. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VOSLP 004 ALAN BRAUFMAN THE FIRE STILL BURNS LP 08.2020 VOSCD 004 ALAN BRAUFMAN THE FIRE STILL BURNS CD 08.2020 Forty-five years after his debut album 'Valley Of Search' (on India Navigation), jazz saxophonist Alan Braufman returns. 'The Fire Still Burns' has that gritty, forthright sensibility in sonic collaborations borne out of beauty and struggle, but there's a populist ease that comes with age and reflection. Put simply it's natural music - complementary, individual, and full of the sweet, hot taste of celebration. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VOSLP 005 PATRICIA BRENNAN MAQUISHTI LP 01.2021 VOSCD 005 PATRICIA BRENNAN MAQUISHTI CD 01.2021 01.
