Grammy winner Henry Kaiser is widely recognized as one of the most creative and innovative guitarists, improvisers, and producers in the fields of rock, jazz, world, and contemporary experimental musics.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
April 9 - "Henry Kaiser, Cheryl Leonard, and Glenn McClure - Antarctica: Music from the End of the World" - Museum Of Making Music - MoMM@Home AIR DATE: 2:00 PM (Pacific)
Henry Kaiser, Dr. Cheryl Leonard, Glenn McClure, three musical explorers, share their experiences in Antarctica and the musical inspirations they've discovered there.
Antarctica is often described as a “silent continent” — the absence of noise pollution is striking and surprising. However the “silent” Antarctic natural soundscape is full of interesting sounds heard nowhere else on Earth. The Antarctic Artists & Writers Program has supported composers and musicians interested in exploring sounds inherent in the Antarctic landscape. Cheryl E. Leonard uses field recordings and instruments built with penguin bones and other natural materials found in Antarctica for her intricate compositions. Henry Kaiser uses experimental guitar music to create improvisations for the mesmerizing video footage he records during his scientific ice diving in Antarctica. Glenn McClure translates scientific data into classical compositions through the process of sonification. This online event features pre-recorded performances by these artists, who also engage in a conversation about Antarctica’s surprisingly rich soundscapes.
THE HENRY KAISER MONTHLY [formerly WEEKLY] SOLO SERIES, presented exclusively on the CUNEIFORM RECORDS YouTube Channel Launches April 2021!
When the Covid 19 pandemic lockdowns began in 2020, Henry Kaiser began curating & presenting a weekly series of pre-recorded music videos exclusively on Cuneiform's YouTube Channel for music lovers isolating at home. When lockdowns began to lift, the series proved to be so popular that Henry continued to post new videos on Cuneiform's YouTube every Thursday. This month - April 2021 - marks the one year anniversary of Henry's weekly concert series. It also marks the concert series transformation into a new, monthly format; the video for April 1, 2021 is Weekly Solo #52/Monthly Solo #1: "Henry Kaiser with Anthony Pirog, Brandy Gale & Mudang Rock".
It's important to note that, while called Henry Kaiser Weekly (now Monthly) Solo Series, many videos depict duets and bands. These videos may depict new (Kaiser/ Pirog/ Gale/ Rock in Weekly Solo #52/Monthly Solo #1), recent (A Love Supreme Electric videos #22 & #31), or vintage performances ( The Valentines' 1994 concert in the Fukuoka Dome). Follow Cuneiform Records' YouTube Channel to see a new video from Henry every month; all 52 videos from Henry's prior Weekly Series are archived & available on our YouTube Channel.

"Twenty-first century big-band music doesn’t get more exciting
and impressive than this."
– Jazz Times
An astounding 18 piece jazz ensemble of five woodwind players, four trumpeters, three trombonists, two keyboardists, guitar, violin, bass and drums, led by arranger, composer & saxophonist Ed Palermo, one of America's most singular arrangers who draws on jazz, pop and rock tunes for his top-notch band. There are a number of ensembles performing the music of Frank Zappa, one of the greatest American composers of the 20th century, but no one does it with the ease, skill and originality that Ed and his band do!
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
[To accommodate Covid restrictions, Ed is performing these shows with a septet – “Eddy’s Chemistry Set” – and not the Big Band]
June 5 - The Falcon - 1348 Route 9W - Marlboro, NY 12542
"Eddy's Chemistry Set": Ed Palermo/ Bruce McDaniel (back from touring in Todd Rundgren's "Clearly Human" Virtual Tour!) / Robbie Mangano/ Ray Marchica/ Paul Adamy/ Ted Kooshian/ Bob Quaranta

"Schnellertollermeier marries brutality to avant-garde rock and jazz. A classic power trio from Switzerland, the band plays with punk fury and dazzling technical dexterity to create booming, bone-rattling music that stalks, confronts and astonishes."
– The Wall Street Journal
Brutal-jazz power trio Schnellertollermeier doesn't compromise. Their fresh and uncompromising mix of jazz, punk, rock, sound and free improvised music, combined with great musicianship, interplay and intense energy, has awed audiences at festivals of jazz, rock, pop and experimental music worldwide. In celebration of their new release on Cuneiform, the album 5, they tour Northern Europe this coming Fall 2021.

Thinking Plague is in the vanguard of groups riding the crest of a largely unheralded avant-progressive tsunami, an idiom responsible for some of the late 20th/early 21st century’s most significant musical achievements. The manner in which Thinking Plague have condensed only the most fertile (and often the most pulverizing) aspect of the last 30 years of progressive exploration into an nth-degree endgame is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
The CUNEIFORM RECORDS YouTube Channel is happy to present three live performance videos by Thinking Plague. We hope that you enjoy them, and encourage you to explore and subscribe to our Channel to see videos presented by other Cuneiform artists.
