Jazzland Shop Now OPEN!!! The Jazzland Recordings Online Shop is open for business! After countless emails asking "Where can we get your CDs?" we decided enough was enough: Jazzland fans deserve better than this!
So we have set up a new shop, bringing you the latest Jazzland releases on CD, and a few classics on vinyl (some of these are in VERY Limited numbers, so if you want one, you'd better get moving!) To ensure things run smoothly, we will be activating a Live Chat Support as well - just in case!
Of particular note to many will be The Core's "Office Essentials" - a true Jazzland classic, but quite difficult to get on CD.
Also in stock is The Mungolian Jet Set's floorthumping debut, "Navigator" on 12" vinyl!
And of course, there is the latest and greatest from Atomic, the fantastic Limited Edition Box Set, "Retrograde" (snap it up while you can, because we still get requests for "The Bikini Tapes" sorry, it's available in download form only at Buggesroom.com!)
And to celebrate the opening we are giving you a special discount! Just enter Jazzlandia into the Promo code box at checkout! This offer ends this Friday 18th July.
So what are you waiting for? Get shopping!

Latest Releases
Retrograde - Atomic The Scandinavian quintet Atomic are now entering, in piano player Haavard Wiik’s words, "our difficult second box set-phase". Not too many years have passed since their universally acclaimed 3-disk bonanza The Bikini Tapes, but now they are at it again with Retrograde. The triple collection is bursting with exciting new material that is further advancing the legacy of this stellar jazz combo. Their initial goal of combining the american Fire music of the sixties with the advanced stylings ... Read More >>
The Year of The Boar - Ingebrigt Håker Flaten Ingebrigt Haker Flaten: The new
Chicagoan.
The
Year of the Boar introduces the powerhouse
bassist's new band, a five-piece that reflects his adopted home in the American
prairie (he's lived in Chicago since late 2006) as well as his deep roots in
the bustling Norwegian jazz scene. The
result is nothing short of a full marshaling of trans-Atlantic creative music
forces, a roundhouse punch in the face of complacent listening.
Of course, parallels between the improvised

Apo Calypso - Motif MOTIF was founded in the fall of -99, and have since that time been working continuously with the creation of their own sound, a sound that echoes the acoustic outings of Miles Davis, the structures of Ligeti, and the electronic collage of Aphex Twin. The band members met studying at Trondheim Conservatory’s Jazz Department, and are now key players in the young European improvising scene.
Their two records on the indie label AIMrec received great reviews all over, and with their third r... Read More >>

of Jazzland Records.
Bugge
Wesseltoft: Who dares to take lovers of music, not scenes - to places
unknown ... returns to ourspace with his long-awaited, self-dubbed "real solo album".
And what
a joy it is to have Bugge back! Focused. Contemplative, and alone (almost).

taking the studio centre stage.... Read More >>
Office Essentials - The Core From the opening track, Bolero, it is clear that The Core is a no-nonsense jazz band, hell-bent on making the kind of music they not only like to play, but like to listen to. With a strong melodic base, Møster pushes his sax to the sonic limits, sustaining a loose and free statement of the melody in view, even when it is far beyond what could reasonably be called "tenor".
On Brooklyn Serenade, there is a promise of bright lights, fast cars and an iconic skyline: a promise that Slettevo... Read More >>
