"Joacim Nyberg-acoustic guitar, double bass, bell, recorder
What can I say that hasn't already been said?
What can I play that hasn't already been played?
Is the house of Jazz still open?
Is the book of Jazz still unwritten?

My music is simple.
Wood, steel, air. Hands, fingers, heart.
Nothing new. Or is it all new?
It's Jazz, in my own way.

I'm humbled by past masters, but not held back.
This is a tribute, a move forward.
Offering my soul to the listener.
Adding something to the history,
writing my own chapter.

This is my music."-Joacim Nyberg

Baker, Duck
Contra Costa Dance

In 1980 Duck Baker's first label deal had expired and the label changed direction, as did Baker himself from arranging traditional tunes into compositions for improvisation; still, these well-recorded demos from 1982 held an appeal through song selection and a uniquely edgy yet lyrical approach to his playing, now finally released to the public 40 years later.

Gargaud, Guillaume
Strange Memories
(Setola Di Maiale / Chant)

Guitarist/composer Guillaume Gargaud of Le Havre, France steps away from his more typical electric guitar work for an album of acoustic guitar improvisations, freely associative playing of rich harmonic and melodic development, from ostensibly meandering fragility to powerful chord work, revealing a strong and confident center through imaginative progressions that captivate his listeners.
