A ZITA SWOON UPDATE
Zita Swoon Group presents Nothing That Is Everything : a multidisciplinary performance.
Nothing That Is Everything is based on a short film that reconstructs one of the first performance of Dada at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich.
The film contains all the elements Stef Kamil Carlens and his associates use in their performance: costumes, dance, music, rhythm, poetry, a confusion (of tongues) and humour.
A track from Zita Swoon Group's new performance NOTHING THAT IS EVERYTHING, premiere on March 13 2015 in Kaaitheater, Brussels.

PETE SWEENEY - SNARE DRUM SOLOS AND ETUDES
- pete sweeney: snare drum solos and études
(2013, cd, usa, private release)
Pete Sweeney recorded Frank Zappa's 'The Black Page' on his "Snare Drum Solos and Etudes" album.
And he did not just record "The Black Page #1" as he explains in the liner notes of the album:
"The last track is 'The Black Page #3" which is my reinterpretation of the themes originated in "The Black Page #1". I was half awake from a nap when I got the idea to play 'The Black Page' backwards. This is not a literal retrograde, but my version of one. maybe Zappa would have liked it!"

DEWA BUDJANA - HASTA KARMA
- dewa budjana: hasta karma
(2015, cd, usa, moonjune records mjr070)
António Sanchez and Ben Williams played together previously in Pat Metheny's Unity Band project.
"Hasta Karma" got recorded at the Kaleidoscope Sound Studio in Union City, NJ, in one single day which, given the complexity of the music, is quite an accomplishment.
The music itself is excellent. And Joe Locke's vibraphone sounds great next to Dewa Budjana's guitar.
The most endearing track on "Hasta Karma" is 'Ruang Dialisis", a composition that Dewa Budjana dedicated to his late father. The piece includes a sampled recording of the guitarist's grandmother, chanting a traditional funeral song for her son.
Out on the MoonJune label:

Somewhere around 2003 / 2004, Bruno Vansina and Teun Verbruggen founded the Rat Records label.

The very first Rat Records album saw the light of day in 2004.

MATS ÖBERG TRIO - ONLY LIVE
- mats öberg trio: only live
(2013, cd, sweden, moserobie)
Somehow, it must have escaped my radar...
Together with Filip Auguston (bass) and Sebastian Voegler (drums), Mats Öberg did a concert at the Glenn Miller Café in Stockholm in June 2011. "Only Live" presents a recording of this concert.
Amazing.
The below video should give you a good enough idea of what the trio sounds live.
