Free Jazz and Improvisation on LP and CD 1965-2024 is a monumental research project from Johannes Rød, released via Smalltown Supersound’s sts.press. Described by Mats Gustafsson as “a deep well of knowledge and music”, this book spans six decades of adventurous sound — reaching into avant-garde, experimental composition, spiritual jazz, abstract electronic work and noise. It also maps 185 labels central to this history.
