John Coltrane - Interstellar Space
I’m pretty much a fan of all things Coltrane, especially from 1965 and forward. This album, Interstellar Space, is a duet album with the powerhouse that was drummer Rashied Ali.
Recorded just five months before his death in 1967, this album was not released until 1974. It’s a real fire-spitter of a jazz record. His last masterpiece… Get it!
This is an original US pressing from 1974 out on Impulse Records.

About a year ago, the Israeli saxophonist Albert Beger joined forces with legendery drummer Hamid Drake who came to play the Tel Aviv Jazz Festival.
The two shared the stage, and gave an amazing, improvised concert, in the memory of the late Fred Anderson.
The show was professionally recorded to make a live album and until the album will be released, we edited four videos off the entire show and we bring it here to you.
In March 15th, we’ll release a new album by Albert Beger and Gerry Hemingway. More details here.

Yair:
I played this through and through today, this amazing piece by Sonny Sharock, with his wife Linda doing the vocals. Far out. This is serious.
This immediately made me think of Nicole Mitchell’s Black Earth Ensemble album
(This is a more relaxed piece but this album Xenogenesis Suite has some pretty radical moments of its own

The fabulous Destination:Out blogs, lists their best selling FMP releases of 2011.
The blog has been releasing the FMP catalog in digital format through a Bandcamp store for the last 12 months, and really brought some justice to our world.
We recommend on these two (and of course the entire catalog is amazing)
Ido :
Discovering Paul Metzger just a few months ago was like discovering s friend, a big brother, and even a soul mate for me.
Using his self-made guitar or his 23 strings banjo Paul is playing the music of “Don Quixote”; riding along in his imaginary world that he builds, and I am following him in my mind.
