For those who are not aware YET, Portuguese CLEAN FEED is one of those record labels which are working as a chronicles of the real changes taking place in the Jazz, and Creative music Avantgarde, in general. This is absolutely priceless work they do, similar to what Labels like, Swiss HAT HUT, (Hathut encompasses the labels hat ART, hatOLOGY, and hat NOIR) and INTAKT are doing. German ECM, JazzWERK or TRAUMTON. American TZADIK, CIMP, AUM Fidelity or Atavistic. French Label Bleu or NATO. British EMANEM, Leo Records, SLAM or INCUS. I can go on and on for long and still miss many who contributed into that titanic work. What matters is that, WE, listeners are aware of them and support them actively by buying their recordings and supporting artist which are going to be A Tomorrow TITANS!

Saxophonist/composer Ingrid Laubrock fuses experimental jazz ensemble, avant-rock group, and altered string quartet in one electrifying sextet on her striking new album.
“Laubrock possesses one of the most fetchingly original free-improv styles out there–throaty, gutsy, bravely lyrical–but recently, her composing and arranging have proven as engaging as her soloing.” – Paul de Barros, DownBeat
“As a bandleader, the wildly inventive soprano and tenor saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock shepherds… category-defying projects with a bent toward unconventional instrumentation and disparate style-shifting.” – Brad Cohan, JazzTimes
