Takanayagi Masayuki's New Direction For The Art group were at the forefront of free jazz and improvisation in Japan. This recording is of a 1971 concert which took place at the Gen'yasai festival, and it captures a moment of confrontation between anti-establishment politics and avant-garde music which drew a hostile response from the crowd. The performance erupts in a cacophony of noise from the very first moment, and reportedly drew catcalls and eventually missiles to be launched from the audience in reaction to the no-holds-barred approach the musicians took. It's an uncomfortable experience Masayuki referred to as mass projection, in which time itself becomes illusory as the brain searches for footholds amongst the chaos.

Birthed from informal sessions in South London around 2013; the Ferg Ireland Trio combines three of the UK’s most exciting musicians. The trio is a vehicle for Ireland to consolidate his influences and explore the Sax/Bass/Drums format with an alchemical blend of intense spiritual jazz, broken beat flavours, angular swing and playful conversations.This, their debut recording, was captured over the course of a summer’s day in 2017 and the result, stripped of artifice and any studio trickery, represents the pure expression of three great instrumentalists, as well as three great friends. Ireland (Kansas Smittys, Soweto Kinch, Ashley Henry, 22a), Nathaniel Facey (Empirical) and James Maddren (Kit Downes, Jacob Collier, Gwilym Simcock) have been playing together for over a decade, and this is reflected in the telepathy of their musical conversation. The twists and turns of their dialogue delve deep into the dark heart of modern jazz.
