NEW RELEASES NOW AVAILABLE @ Edgetone Records

January 2007
Artist: Jim Ryan’s Forward Energy
CD: FE3 Portland
Genre: Free Jazz, Catalog# EDT4049
In 1996 the owner of the now defunct ‘Radio Valencia’ was booking my group into his San Francisco eating place and asked me the name of my band. I said, “ah, er . . . forward motion . . . no . . . Forward Energy,” and that’s been it for the past 10 years through many player confirgurations and gigs in the S.F. bay area, up and down the West Coast, Chicago & NYC. We have six CD recordings (All available on Edgetone Records, except for The Concept which is a Cadence recording). My free jazz apprenticeship began with Steve Lacy’s weekly open free jams in the early ‘70s but I’d been listening to the great players since I was a tiny tot attempting to make music on the piano and trombone. The massive influx of young, free players to Paris found me already there and ready to wail. Over the years I’ve worked on my axe and made much music. The trio format allows lots of room for personal expression. I plan to extend this FE3 series to include Midwest and East Coast sessions later this year.
Artist: Jim Ryan’s Forward Energy
CD: FE3 OAKLAND
Genre: Free Jazz, Catalog# EDT4048
Jim Ryan plays alto/tenor sax and flute on this recording. He founded Forward Energy ten years ago playing with various bay area musicians using the free jazz improv style he learned during a year-long participation in Steve Lacy’s weekly open sessions in Paris during the early 1970’s. He has honed his style to a sharp precision.
"I'm always glad when I find musicians whose spirit is rooted in real, pure free jazz; Forward Energy - led by poet and sax/flute player Jim Ryan - is a fantastic collective..." - Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes
Artist: Tom Nunn
CD: Identity
Genre: Improvisation/Invented Instruments, Catalog# EDT4047
This solo CD by master instrument builder Tom Nunn features three of his main inventions:
Hybrid Mothics, The Octatonic T-Rodimba, & The Crustacean
Tom Nunn has designed, built and performed with original instruments as an improviser since 1976, and has been active in the Bay Area since 1978.
Artist: Dr. Bob
CD: Dr. Bob
Genre: ElectroAcoustic Improvisation, Catalog# EDT4035
Doctor Bob is a project of Bob Marsh (whose mother always wanted him to be a doctor) and David Michalak (whose favorite TV show was Mr. Wzard). Bob Marsh sings, rants and yowls whilst committing unnatural acts with his cello and other electronic devices creating a unique chemistry with the equally unnatural lap steel guitar style of David Michalak.s
Artist: Eddie the Rat
CD: Once Around The Butterfly Bush
Genre: Multi-instrumental Avant-Compositions
Catalog# EDT4038
"Once Around The Butterfly Bush" is music made of wood, wind, and wire. A carefully honed composition using simultaneous tempos in any given song, it switches focus between melody/rhythm and figure/ground until they become blurred. This song cycle incorporates a blend of traditional and homemade instruments, and layers musical styles on top of each other until style becomes irrelevant. “Once Around The Butterfly Bush” is a collage of pre-composed melodic and rhythmic lines that fit together (over and under and in between) like a puzzle piece.
Artist: Nihil Communication
CD: we are violent
Genre: Electronic/Experimental Dark Ambient
Catalog # EDT4042
"It’s close to ambient washes but in a diseased way, like standing beneath power cables when the air hums. He’s got a few things happening in very thin layers, making strange music, creepy rustling, often with an ominous build in the sound before the fog closes in again." - Mick Mercer

Edgetone in artist run label dedicated to a symbiotic relationship between artist and company by releasing music by musicians who are “self-producers”, with a mind for business. Musicians who do not want to compromise their music to fit into a narrow definition of "commercially viable” and those that double their efforts to support their ideas and dreams define what we are all about.
