About this product
For over forty years, Grammy-winning pianist Jon Cleary has called New Orleans home- and pretty much ever since he landed in the Big Easy, he and his celebrated band (the Absolute Monster Gentlemen) have toured all over the world spreading the music of his adopted home to packed houses of rabid fans. He's played with everyone, for everyone, everywhere.Still, as of 2025, there was one room that this Englishman had yet to conquer and it was a big one. The venerable Royal Albert Hall. The temple of British performance and an icon of London. A national treasure, in fact.On June 16, 2025, this wait came to an end as Jon Cleary performed a solo piano set on the same stage that's hosted names like Wagner, Rachmaninov, McCartney and Churchill. It was a blistering set that featured highlights of Cleary's songbook and tributes to greats like Lloyd Price and Jelly Roll Morton.Luckily, we rolled tape and captured the whole affair. It was a special homecoming for Cleary, with family in the audience and friends throughout the Hall. The result is an explosive, virtuosic performance, mixed by veteran engineer (and fellow Brit) John Porter. It is the definitive live document of an unforgettable evening in London.Indeed, two national treasures have finally come together for a moment you can now bring home and enjoy anytime- from anywhere.

Located in a converted Chinese herbalist's shop in Seattle's historic Ballard neighborhood, pianist Jon Alberts' Fu Kun Wu Lounge blends this heady ambiance with the eclecticism of modern jazz. Alberts, along with his luminary band mates, Jeff Johnson (bass) and Tad Britton (drums) have appeared weekly there for over a decade blending an aesthetic prescription with a subdued swing that is surely a cure for the ordinary. InchApothecaryInch conveys much of the hidden beauty of the Seattle jazz scene providing evidence that jazz is alive and well there. There isn't any other place quite like the Fu Kun Wu Lounge and no other musicians make the most of it like Alberts, Johnson and Britton.

Kinder, also known as Michael White, lives in a small town in Texas called San Marcos. Just south of Austin. It's a truly beautiful city. For his 4th LP on (iN)Sect Records he has created another world for us to live in. InchTimothy Grass is a collection of songs that I made during the summer of 2017. It feels like a very, very long time ago now. The songs came together in a way not too dissimilar to the first Kinder album. I just started with some random ideas and ended up with a compilation of my favorite tracks out of that creative time. The name InchTimothy GrassInch just refers to a place I had in mind when listening back to the record. Beautiful spring day, a personal tump, nice breeze, and a good pair of headphones to help the experience along.Inch
