Tri-Cornered Tent Show-The Foolkiller EDT4033
Tri-Cornered Tent Show presents The Foolkiller, a post-apocalyptic poetr,y music, and song portraying rage, revenge, and redemption, transcending the acts of murder madness and mayhem commonly defined as war religion and politics. Sporting an extended ensemble of some of the finest improvisers from the San Francisco Bay Area, The Foolkiller spreads its shadow across a wide array of style and sound creating one this year’s most innovative operatic improvisational theme pieces. A must have for those who like to collect abstract and obscure reference music.

Jon Brumit - Vendetta Retreat EDT 4031
Jon Brumit's composed and improvised music incorporating percussion, electronics, sampling, found objects, and signal processing has been labeled "physically debilitating" and "intellectually refreshing" by art critics, and his performances have been declared "disarmingly powerful" and "extremely adventurous and explosive [for ambient music]" by rock and noise musicians. Not bad for an artist whose last release was made entirely with garbage from the San Francisco Dump.
Vendetta Retreat is an amalgmation of Jon's sound and visual explorations.
Set to a Motion Picture yet to be made, Jon plans to create the visual project based on clips supplied by anyone wishing to contribute.

Yehudit & Beth Snellings Different Strokes
Different Strokes...Live EDT 5004
Different Strokes, featuring violinist Yehudit and cellist Beth Snellings, creates a fusion of jazz and classical influences, incorporating arrangements of tried and true jazz classics, compositions by contemporary jazz masters, and some very unique and lush originals. The project manifests the warmth that only strings can provide. The duo's classically influenced arrangements create melodic and rapturous pieces full of emotion and lyricism, while their deft arrangements of jazz standards remain true to the style and spirit of these classic tunes.
The result is a powerful combination of beauty, elegance, sophistication, and swing. A must have for any jazz fan.

MATT DAVIGNON
"Bwoo"
Edgetone Records EDT 4030
Matt Davignon has developed a unique form of improvisation over the last 10 years, focusing on textures, arrhythmic patterns and musical imperfections.
Creating music that is at once elemental and
intricately ambient, he explores the outer dimensions of experimentation, exploring the dynamic relationship between chaos, order, and indeterminism.
His latest project, “Bwoo”, evokes biology, and the mystery of elemental structure in nature and in sound. Using a drum machine as his singular sound source, he warps, bends, and multiplies the beats, creating sound-scapes as diverse and ambient as they are complex and organically beautiful.

Everything’s Going Everywhere
Edgetone Records EDT 5005
Featuring pianist Thollem Mcdonas and drummer Rick Rivera bring to the jazz world a sonic journey bursting with excitement well needed in jazz
and improvisation in the 21st century. Drawing from such 
diverse forms of inspiration as nuclear bombs, modern classical and Arabic music, to free jazz, punk, and traffic sounds, these two musical Iconoclasts transcend the past and the limits of their influences, re-organizing traditional ideas into a sonic commentary about the space between rebellion, politics, and hummingbirds. The reviews across the world have hailed Mcdonas as a "genius", "a very original...fresh voice".
