New Release

May 11th, 2012
Operation ID - Trapped

Seeming to emerge fully-formed from a vibrating string—an innocuous guitar doppler—“Trapped” (in the center of the earth, perhaps?) builds momentum steadily, deftly careening through a series of cartoonish set pieces. From zany prog-jazz, to lyrical string-laden passages reminiscent of klezmer, to triumphal half-time rock, complete with electric guitar solos, “Trapped” seesaws between dreamy exploration and sugar-rush catharsis.

Bad Luck - Bloodroot | T&C016

Hot on the heels of their 2011 double-album Two, drummer Chris Icasiano and saxophonist Neil Welch have created a 22 min sonic manifesto.  Bloodroot is their most ambitious recorded piece to date, culling up the gravelly saxophone wails and deep drum beats they’ve come to be known for.

King Tears Bat Trip - King Tears Bat Trip | T&C012

King Tears Bat Trip is 4 drum sets, saxophone, guitar, and electronics. “Mesmerizing audiences with neck-breaking grooves and ferocious intensity…”

Andy Clausen - The Wishbone Suite | T&C012

The sweet, radiant music of trombonist and composer Andy Clausen is here in finest form. Featuring a wealth of musical variety, The Wishbone Suite is an alluring and emotionally powerful journey.

Lawson - Tales from the Land of Lawson | T&C010

Zimmerman has created a beautiful, humming world where seemingly immutable chords hold without action, but evolve in the process of doing so.

"…My idea for the jam session is that once the players are assembled on stage, someone will draw from a hat. This hat will contain different genres on pieces of paper, for example blues, soul, classical, and so forth. After the genre has been chosen I would like every person who is improvising to interpret what that genre is to them, in their own way." – Kevin Glasel
