Yep, I got IN THE WEST (which is excellent) through Amazon.uk and I believe they often sell YUME NO OKA as well!

Hmmm. The ensemble I don't know (I'll have to check the video's Friede posted), but Eberhard Weber solo might be a bit off limits for PA. I'm listening to Colours of Chlöe right now, and although it's really good stuff, it's not rock - and definitely not progressive rock. He's a great player though!

I agree about Weber, at least his solo albums and his band Colours; he is definitely jazz. But The United Jazz and Rock Ensemble don't have "Rock" in their name for nothing.

On their second album Kenny Wheeler (flugelhorn) joined. They should definitely be included in the database.


Well then I suggest that you try to add this group and work on a Bio for them, I got interested in them! Do you know an album I should get, or someplace I can get to listen some mp3 of them?

There are some videos of them on YouTube, with Dave King replacing Eberhard Weber. Here the links:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtpdmjnLnTw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn1qxvJy7Nc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DX4IW1aAsc

I hope these videos whet your appetite for more.

Their albums are available from Mood records. Here the link:
http://www.jazzpages.com/MoodRecords/mood_ef.htm

Start with their first album "Live im Schützenhaus" from 1977 and work your way forward from there. Fusion of the very finest; they definitely don't have to hide from anyone.

Definitely! Clap
As it comes to Niemen, though, some of his albums are rather electronic than jazzrock (Aerolit, Katharsis - fully electronic, Idee Fixe, Terra Deflorata). His ultimate jazzrock masterpiece is Marionetki.

I`ve seen this band, Spaced Out, a few times in Montréal and have three of their albums. Heavily influenced by UZEB but a little heavier. Killer bass player. They`re in the archives and you can check out a few of thier wild videos on their web-site particularily the video for Anti-matter. Really tripped out. If you`re into Planet X this should turn your wheel as well. Killer stuff.

Their new album Quantum, is quite good, with Allan Holdsworth replacing MacAlpine. I think they sounded better with Tony, even though Holdsworth is the superior jazz guitarist.
I just got it a few weeks ago, my first album from these guys. but it seems that Holdsworth was just a guest musician playing on two tracks.

I also have been listening to some of Tim Berne's releases (under several names - Big Satan, Hard Cell etc.) which are different than the previous bunch, more experimenal, free form (though all of those use improvization to varying extent and under different pre-defnied frames).
 
Any other musician/project you think would be interesting to listen to next?
 
 
 
So, no repsponse on this?
Here's an article from today posted at All About Jazz.com about the Cryptogramophone label and its musicians:

I think I`ve mentioned this somewhere but for some reason there seems to be a black hole somewhere and things just disappear. Anyway, the guy who produced Madonna`s debut, Reggie Lucas, was also a killer jazz guitar player. He also toured with Miles and played on a few of his  Electric Band albums. If you cand find it, Survival Themes is quite interesting with a mix of laid back fusion and electric guitar freakouts. Sort of reminds me of Abercrombie`s first Gateway album. No idea whether or not it got released on CD. Maybe Wounded Bird Records will pick it up.
