Jazz Lovers 180G Vinyl Bundle (Pre-Order Now)

Zen Widow - IV (from one dark age to another)

Zen Widow's fourth release is a sonic journey that marries the ancient with the modern. The international trio, consisting of Gianni Gebbia (Bb soprano saxophone, cornettophone), Matthew Goodheart (grand piano, gongs), and Garth Powell (drums, percussion), reimagines medieval and baroque compositions through a jazz improvisational lens. This album features compositions drawn from sources as varied as Gesualdo da Venosa, the Burana and Chantilly Codex, and even Welsh folk melodies and Bach’s Cello Suites.

Each piece is carefully transformed, taking the listener on a journey through time, where ancient musical motifs are intertwined with contemporary jazz sensibilities. The trio is joined by guest vocalist Dwight Trible, whose stirring contributions elevate the overall mood and texture of the recording.

This album was recorded live-to-two-track analog tape at the legendary Capitol Studios (Studio A) by engineers Mike Ross and Steve Genewick. Mastered by Kevin Gray at CoHEARent Audio and pressed on 180G vinyl at RTI, this release offers true audiophile-grade sound. The attention to detail extends to the deluxe Old Style Tip-On gatefold packaging, featuring artwork inspired by Cornelis Norbertus Gijsbrechts' Vanitas Still Life (1657), adding a touch of classical elegance to this modern masterpiece.

Bobby Bradford and his CuZns - Freddie Ain’t Ready

Legendary jazz trumpeter and cornetist Bobby Bradford leads his ensemble CuZns in Freddie Ain’t Ready, a profound exploration of identity, creativity, and improvisation. Recorded live-to-two-track analog tape at Hollywood’s historic EastWest Studios, this album captures the raw, unfiltered sound of Bradford’s ensemble with no editing, limiting, or compression. The result is a truly authentic live recording that brings the studio’s intimate atmosphere into your home.

Produced by Tone Poet Joe Harley, this album exemplifies jazz at its finest, with performances steeped in emotion and technical brilliance. Mastered by Kevin Gray at CoHEARent Audio and pressed on ultra-quiet 180G vinyl by RTI, every nuance of the performance is preserved in stunning detail. Bradford’s expressive trumpet is at the heart of the album, supported by a stellar lineup of musicians who breathe life into each track.

Bradford, an icon of the Los Angeles jazz scene, has a storied career that includes collaborations with Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, and Charlie Haden. In Freddie Ain’t Ready, his rich musical history blends with the energy of his ensemble, delivering a powerful, deeply reflective performance.
