News

John Zorn recently made a ton of music from his label Tzadik available on streaming (h/t Burning Ambulance), so if you (like me) weren’t able to listen to a bunch of the stuff on Phil Freeman’s guide, well now you can. A few other notable albums now available are Mary Halvorson’s The Maid With the Flaxen Hair, Meredith Monk’s Beginnings, Wadada Leo Smith’s Kabell Years 1971-1979, Roberto Juan Rodriguez’s Baila! Gitano Baila!, Keiji Haino’s Tenshi No Gijinka, and Fred Frith’s Clearing.
