Jazz is one of the most influential, timeless and enduring genres in music. The structuring and songwriting styles from jazz has been used in other genres such as rock, metal, hip hop and funk throughout the years. It can range from subtle and relaxing, to eclectic free jazz freakouts and has something for every music fan. We scour collections to find both iconic releases and rare obscurities to give our customers a wide range to choose from.
The three highlights we have picked out below are just the tip of the iceberg from our selection, which can be viewed in full over at eil.com
MILFORD GRAVES AND DON PULLEN In Concert At Yale University (Insanely rare original 1966 US two-part limited edition private press vinyl LP on the white deep groove PGI label from the drummer Milford Graves (New York Art Quartet/Albert Ayler/Sonny Sharrock) and pianist Don Pullen (Albert Ayler/Charles Mingus), the first volume in the two-volume series and one of America’s first DIY Free Jazz records. It’s a seminal work of free-jazz improvisation, highly praised by jazz bible DownbeatMagazine and included in Thurston Moore’s recent “top ten from the jazz underground” chart. Housed in a unique sleeve – all copies were hand painted by either Milford or Don – and no two are the same. If that’s not rare enough, this copy comes complete with the typewritten A4 insert!
