音楽 ： ESP 1013 Giuseppi Logan - More (Re-issue CD)

More, Giuseppi Logan's second album, has two tracks from the same legendary May 1st, 1965 Town Hall concert, produced by ESP-Disk' owner Bernard Stollman, that gave us Albert Ayler's Bells. This ESP-Disk' 50th Anniversary Renaster edition of More includes previously unissued music from Logan's set that reissue producer Michael D. Anderson discovered at the end of the Bells master tape. The astonishing thing about this 10-minute segment of audio tape is that it is the continuation of the second track, “Shebar,” extending its length to 19 minutes. On the original album, there is a fade, but with the inclusion of this newly discovered segment, the performance continues to the end of the song and of the group's performance. Note: The slight distortion here exists on the original master tape and could not be corrected, but the historical value in hearing the entire performance warrants its inclusion.

音楽 ： ESP 1005 The Byron Allen Trio (Re-issue CD)

ESP-Disk': Fifty Years of Altering Your Perceptions

As part of ESP-Disk's celebration of the 50th anniversary of our founding in 1963, we are reissuing items from our extensive catalog of avant-garde jazz, and underground/outsider rock and folk, etc. that have never been officially issued in the U.S. on CD.

Some of these will be regular unlimited releases, but some more esoteric specialist items will come out in a new limited-edition series we've dubbed rESPlica. Each one will reproduce the LP artwork (with two minor changes: our former addresses will be deleted to avoid confusion, and a UPC code will be added (we regret the latter, but it does help us to keep the cost of these beautiful near-replicas at the same price as a regular issue). The new remasters of these albums have been done specifically for ESP-Disk's 50th anniversary by archivist Michael D. Anderson from the original tapes.

Only a thousand copies of each rESPlica album will be available, so to enable our fans to secure their copies, we will take preorders for each one on our website. Everyone buying via preorder will immediately receive a digital download of the new remaster at no additional charge.

Byron Allen Trio was among the first batch of ESP-Disk's jazz LPs. Recorded on the afternoon of September 25, 1964 at Mirasound Studio in midtown Manhattan, it was Allen's debut. He had been recommended to ESP-Disk' by Ornette Coleman, and one of the tracks, "Decision for the Cole-Man," reflects this connection. Allen and his trio also play in a style somewhat similar to that of Coleman's trio of that era with bassist David Izenson and drummer Charles Moffett, though that's not to say that Allen, bassist Maceo Gilchrist, and drummer Ted Robinson don't display a sound of their own on the four tracks here. In the years since, though Allen made only one other album (and that 15 years later), this LP acquired legendary stature among jazz fanatics.

音楽 ： ESP 1055 Patty Waters - College Tour (Re-issue CD LP)

In the Spring of 1966, ESP was given a grant by the New York State Council on the Arts, to tour the five colleges in the state with music departments. Artists for this tour included the Sun Ra Arkestra, Burton Greene, Patty Waters, Giuseppi Logan and Ran Blake. Accompanied by an all star backup group from among the participants, Patty's performances resulted in the album, "College Tour", her second recording for ESP-Disk'. The album expands upon the vocal acrobatics that were heard on her first recording, "Sings". "College Tour" won second place for Vocal Recording in Jazz and Pop Magazine in 1970.

Patty Waters is internationally recognized as one of the first major avant-garde vocalists. Her ESP-Disk' recordings cemented her reputation as a vocal innovator, and according to liner notes and public opinion, one whose influence extended beyond jazz to Yoko Ono and Diamanda Galas.

音楽 ： ESP 2001 Cromagnon - Cave Rock (Re-issue LP)

Already commercially successful as tune-smiths for teenyboppers, Austin Grasmere and Brian Elliot approached Bernard Stollman looking to focus their talents on something more original and unrestrained. Stollman asked, “What would be your theme?” and Elliot replied: “Everything is one.” Bernard said, “Go do it.” What followed was Cromagnon's (Grasmere, Elliot and the Connecticut Tribe) non-linear journey through the subconscious, weaving together bizarre instrumentation and meter with a psychotic blending of musical styles. Bagpipes, pounding percussion, blood-curdling yelps, chanting, laughing, and billowing subterranean rumblings create the otherworldly soundscape that is Cave Rock. Heralded as one of the best freak-out records of all time, Cave Rock was ridiculously ahead of its time and brings to mind the savage sound-fuckery of Nurse with Wound and Throbbing Gristle as well as the hallucinations of early Red Krayola.

Press Quotes

"An aural stew of experimental vocal sounds (tribal chanting, eerie whispering, animal-like screeching, monster sounding growls, ghostly howls, outright screaming, violent puking sounds, etc), various effects (over-dubbed sound bites played backwards, old sirens, common household sounds, manipulated electronics, field recordings) and the occasional use of a conventional instrument (spooky bagpipes, frantic rhythm guitar, scratchy fiddle) that are all meshed and held together with various forms of primitive percussion. A couple tracks have no rhythm instruments and are simply gravity defying acts of freeform music. Surprisingly, after being subjected to over 30 minutes of unintelligible voices, Cromagnon finally reap the benefits of evolution and use coherent words from the English language on the final two songs on the album. Cromagnon is ominous and experimental tribal music for the bad acid trip." J Scott Brubig, The Acid Archives

“An anomaly, even on the always far out ESP label, Cromagnon was the brainchild of Brian Eliot and Austin Grasmere,...They made a truly inspired music, a sort of Dadaist psychedelic folk, tribal and raw, ridiculous but enchanting. It's hard to believe that a record as completely far-out as Orgasm was recorded in 1969. Bands these days can't be this whacked even if they try, especially if they try." – Andee Connors

音楽 ： ESP １０６１ Jerry Moore - Life is a Constant Journey Home（Re-issue CD)

This one is so legendary that we don’t have to describe it ourselves. All Music Guide’s Ron Wynn writes: “Here's a classic case of a great release coming from a most unexpected source. Moore did a number of reasonably effective soul and blues singles on regional labels, then recorded this seven-track concept work for the legendary bohemian New York label ESP Disk, best known for '60s underground rock bands like the Fugs, the Godz and Pearls Before Swine. Life Is a Constant Journey Home contains several remarkable protest and topical tunes, each sung with grit and conviction. “The Ballad of Birmingham” revisits the horrible bombing incident in 1963 that killed four little girls, while "Winds of Change" offers hope and inspiration to those battling for justice, and "Life Is a Constant Journey" takes almost a folkie musical approach while discussing the impact of fate and personal decisions. Like so many other remarkable ESP releases, this one got limited distribution and remains a collector's oddity, although it still stands as a fine piece of singer/songwriter commentary and vocal polemic.” Moore is supported on this album by well-known instrumentalists Eric Gale, Bill Salter, Warren Smith, and Ralph MacDonald.

音楽 ： ESP 1074 Burton Greene - The Burton Greene Trio On Tour(Re-issue CD)

First-ever American CD edition of this lost classic, recorded "live" during ESP's 1966 New York State College Tour. The "piano harp" credit is Greene's way of noting that he plays inside the piano, directly on the strings – the first jazz pianist to do so on record, taking a page from avant-gardist Henry Cowell's book. In his notes to the original LP, included complete in this reissue, Greene writes, "The tour found people largely unexposed to this music. They were often shaken up. Some were deeply moved. Those who came for a total body and soul experience were rewarded with the vibrations. The people who constantly needed the theoretical approach or 'road maps' were not.... Like the time a boat load of people left the hall at a lecture following a performance at Fredonia State Teacher's College. We had the audacity to tell people that not only was our approach to music valid but that often the results were as musically complex and often more so than, let's say Beethoven. Throughout the tour we continued to denigrate the idea of the 'sacred cow' and tried to encourage people to learn to do their own thing rather than to follow us blindly and mimic our techniques etc."

Press Quotes

"Pianist Burton Greene ('37) is a major figure in the free jazz revolution of '60s New York." – Portland Monthly
"Pretty far out work from pianist Burton Greene...Steve Tintweiss on bass and Shelly Rusten on drums…give Burton plenty of space to stretch out in an open-ended, freely improvised sort of way. There's a very spacious, dynamic style to the music – with oblique segments interspersed with more wide open ones, and occasional crescendos with wide sheets of sound." – DustyGroove.com

音楽 ： ESP 4071 Oscar Brown Jr. & Maggie Brown - We're Live

We are proud and honored to present this previously unreleased album by Oscar Brown, Jr., one of the great singers and songwriters of our time and, like ESP-Disk', a rebel. After fame and major-label releases in the '60s, his anti-government stances got him blacklisted, resulting in only two albums in the last three decades of his life. Now, with the release of this concert performance, you can make that three albums, and hear songs not available anywhere else, swinging songs of an elder contemplating his mortality with wisdom and wit and a keen sense of the history of jazz and blues.

ロンドンBo'Weavil Recordingsよりソロを何作か発表しているアンビエント&フォーク作家Tom James Scottがレーベルを始動。その第一弾としてAndrew Chalkとの共同LPをリリース！！Tomはピアノ、Andrewはストリングスを担当、優雅でありながらも何処か喪失感漂うフレーズを紡いでゆく4作品。マスタリングは近年のAndrew作品でお馴染みDenis Blackhamが担当。限定300。

Wild Flowers is the first collaborative release from Andrew Chalk and Tom James Scott and features source piano initially recorded in the development stages of Trace, a performance piece produced for 2013's F.O.N. festival.

The delicate surface of Scott's hushed piano playing is occasionally blurred by Chalk's sensitive and unique approach to production, unearthing a depth of feeling usually heard as an undercurrent to the muted, almost half-sounded surface notes. Evoking distant childhood summers, strings swell and vanish like flashes of light across a weather-beaten lens, enveloping the dampened rush of piano in a haze of elation and loss.

Mastered by Denis Blackham at Skye Mastering and recorded during 2012, Wild Flowers has been cut direct to metal (DMM) and comes in a full-colour offset printed sleeve in an edition of 300 copies.
