Live In 1960

Nearly seven years since their debut seven inch release, Tone Scientists are back with the five song Kiiroi Tori EP. The project joins Mike Watt and Bucky Pope, the latter of whom assumes the producer role this time around, with drummer John Herndon of Tortoise and two longtime Watt collaborators, flute/sax player Vince Meghrouni and keyboard player Pete Mazich. Like their first release, the EP includes an ambitious Sun Ra cover, with their distinctive take on "The Sun One”, along with four tunes penned by Pope and Watt.

The release will be available on two limited 12" vinyl pressings, one black and another on banana peel color vinyl, as well as digital formats. Vinyl pressed at Furnace Record Pressing.

Denise LaSalle’s seminal debut LP for Westbound Records, released in 1972, introduced the world at large to a storming force in blues. At Westbound, Denise refined her Chicago Blues roots and recorded Trapped By A Thing Called Love, adding contemporary and soulful arrangements to her flawless songs. The result garnered huge hits, a massive fan base, and put Ms. LaSalle on track to being crowned “Queen Of The Blues.” It remains an undisputed classic of the genre. The album has been remastered by Dave Gardner for its first pressing in more half a century, as part of Org Music’s ongoing Westbound Records reissue series. 

The reissue is out everywhere January 17th, 2025.

William Hooker is a musician, composer, and poet with over 70 recordings as a leader, encompassing jazz, new music, experimental music and multi-disciplinary forms of expression (e.g. dance, silent film and spoken word). He has been recognized as “an iconoclast, and one of the most innovative musicians and drummers of his generation”  [The Wire],  which is evident nowhere more than on his latest album, Jubilation. The new work features collaborators Matt LaVelle on trumpet, Sarah Manning on alto saxophone, On Davis on guitar, and Adam Lane on Bass. The release marks Hooker’s fourth outing for Org Music, following Flesh and Bones (2023), Big Moon (2021), and Symphonie of Flowers (2019). 

Hooker says of Jubilation, “our express purpose was to play great music and to communicate such.” The group, captured live in 2023 at acclaimed Brooklyn performance arts venue Roullette,  does just that. The dynamic set showcases each of the players’ unique craft with extended solo performances, introducing new elements and building towards a more collaborative effort as the piece progresses. The result, captured faithfully on this recording, is pure Jubilation (noun; a feeling of great happiness and triumph).

A1 The Stare
A2 Linking
A3 The Villages
A4 Central Features of Sleep
B1 Exhausting Clouds
B2 Laws of Heredity
