Just a quick update to announce the
release of the CD version of
"In St Johann" from The Ames Room.
Now Available from the STORE.
More info about forthcoming releases and tours soon.
November 17th 2013
Our new release is the 2nd album from UK
4tet Predicate.
It is called "Nails".
Predicate is led by Alex Ward (“a compulsively creative polymath” –
Stewart Lee;
“one of those musicians who seems to get interesting music out of anything
he touches”
– Nate Dorward) and features Tim Hill on saxophones, Dominic Lash on
double bass
and Mark Sanders on drums.
Ward writes the compositions for the group and plays electric guitar
(he is also known in other contexts as a clarinettist).
The music, while often taking a high-energy free-jazz approach as its
starting point,
also incorporates the electric aggression of rock, the abstract interplay
of non-idiomatic improvisation
and a diverse range of compositional tactics into an intense and
unclassifiable whole.
Predicate played their first show in February 2010, and since then have
performed regularly around the UK
including a Jazz Services tour in spring 2012. Their self-titled debut
album was released in 2012.
..................
GR048 - Predicate "Nails" CD + DL (available nov. 24th
2013)
October 14th 2013
The 2013 edition of the Gaffer Fest was
epic, intense and great...thanks to
all the musicians and the audience. So thank you, and thanks to
the Périscope team also.

2014 is Gaffer Records 10th year birthday !!
Be there!
In the meantime , you can enjoy the new records as they're all available

delay).
Cheers !
October 5th 2013
Here it is, the 2013 edition of the Gaffer Fest
is about to start.
The line up is something really special with loads of great artists and
bands.
None of them is really big or can be considered a "headliner", and this is
the purpose...
to get people to discover who is the next generation regarding innovative
and extreme music.
August 13th 2013
Here it is, Millevoi/ Ricart
4tet LP "Haitian Rail" is available.
Jump and click to our STORE page to get
your copy.
Haitian Rail is the powerful debut LP from
the Ricart/Millevoi Quartet,
a new unit featuring four of the strongest voices in the creative music
underground.
Thoughtful composition and ranging, rollicking improvisations make for
deeply rewarding listening, buoyed by laser focused precision.
From the dizzying unison melody of opener ‘Linive’ through
the off-kilter serialism of ‘Coqueternions,’
Haitian Rail is a record of burning, sprawling intensity,
effortlessly marrying the testifying, free-ranging spirit of
ecstatic free jazz with the electric textures and tones of avant-rock.

April 1st 2013
Here's some of the latest news from Gaffer
Records.
First of all, the konstruKt LP (feat. Peter Brötzmann & guests) won't
be released.
There's no need to give many details, but just need to let you know that
Peter was not
really aware of the LP release...seems like konstruKt forgot to mention
it.
So the LP won't be released and so will the boxset including the
collaborations
LP's between konstruKt and other guests (Marshall Allen, Evan Parker...)
We're really sad and disapointed but we'd rather not to proceed with this
anymore
as we don't know the "terms" between konstruKt and the other
musicians they share those recordings with.
We're sorry about the whole story and wish the best to konstruKt and all
their guests.
If you were interested by the "Eklisia Sunday" LP, just
know that only 5 records (test press)
were made and are available.
Just write to order@gafferrecords.com
for more info.
Second news is the release of the Millevoi/ Ricart 4tet
LP called "Haitian Rail".
One track, taken from this LP is available on The Wire Tapper
compilation CD.
The record will be out in early may. More info about it very soon...
And latest news is about our STORE.
Loads of customers don't add the shipping costs when they order records,
and it's a but awkward
to always "ask" for that money.
So the new prices are ALL POSTPAID.
The system is maybe not perfect (we'll regulate the prices if people order
several records,
so the shipping costs won't be paid many times for the same order).
But we don't want to use those formated store/shop/cart.
Please let us know if you encounter some issues.
Regards.
February 05th 2013
Here we are again...back from this looooong
break.
Loads of new releases are scheduled :
GR040 - STAER "Daughters" LP (march 2013)
GR041 - Bolide "Soaks" CD (Free Jazz CD series vol. 6)
(march 2013)
GR042 - Ricart/ Millevoi 4tet (w/ Laplante
& Ches Smith) "Haitian Rail" LP (april/may 2013)
GR0?? - The Flying Luttenbachers " Cataclysm" LP
GR0?? - The Ames Room CD
GR0?? - The Pitch LP
...and more to come soon...
Here's the 2 next records to be released on Gaffer Records :
GR038 - konstruKt (feat. Peter Brötzmann,
Hüseyin Ertunç, Dogan Dogusel & Barlas Tan Ozemek)
"Eklisia Sunday" LP
Release date : March 1st 2013.
konstruKt , a quartet from Istanbul - offers us a great free jazz
concert recorded (in may 2011)
in a church built during the 17th century.
Along with great guests (with Peter Brötzmann among others),
konstuKt is able to give birth to a music that belongs to their own
cultural roots
and the 70's black free jazz area, like Don Cherry.
This LP is the first item of the forthcoming LP boxset (with other great
musicians
such as Marshall Allen or Evan Parker...)
http://konstruk-t.com
GR039 - Colin Webster "Antennae" tape.
Release date : March 1st 2013.
Colin Webster is a talented sax player from London.
He collaborates with Anthony Johnston (in the Spam Band),
plays as a duo with Mark Holub, as a trio with Holub (again) and Sheik
Anorak
or even in bands...Colin can play everything.
But here, playing solo, he is able to show his skills and play soft, very
soft,
profound just by using his lungs and the mechanics of his instrument..
A quiet and smart music you should give all your attention.

As usual, get in touch for shops, distros, promo stuff...
Cheers!
