We’re working on a compilation with Christophe Lemaire, and Mssr. Lemaire is quite the fan of the music of Dr. Lloyd Miller – the man behind the stunning “Gol E Gandom” on our Spiritual Jazz anthology. He wanted to include a track of Miller’s on our comp, but, you know, we always ask permission. Miller denied the use, but his explanation was so thorough – and damning! – that we almost felt like we should burn all of our psych albums and listen to nothing but Miles’ Kind Of Blue.
Today’s the release date for our P.E. Hewitt Winter Winds The Complete Works: 1968-70 anthology. Dusted Magazine had this to say:
“This reissue is gorgeously presented, with a detailed booklet, and each album given its own facsimile disc. Included in the booklet is a recent interview with Hewitt that reveals an adventurous life lived in the years since Winter Winds. It also reveals that he has made more music. I, for one, would love to hear it.”

Yesterday, we teamed up with Stones Throw to present our Weird Jazz Afternoon at Palate Food + Wine in Glendale – in honor of our P.E. Hewitt anthology, out everywhere tomorrow, April 6th. “Weird” was right – jazz from Ethiopia, Finland, France, India and, of course, the USA – spun by Egon, J.Rocc and Palate’s wine guru (and weird jazz bassist) Steve Goldun as the chef’s served up pulled pork sandwiches, Easter lamb and everyone poured some OE alongside some nice Burgundies.

Dimlite’s just back in Switzerland after a quick jaunt to Russia to perform for all of the people who grabbed his music for free on the torrent sites hosted there.
Now he’s about to perform in countries where people can actually buy his Prismic Tops album, out in early May.
