This guide takes another deep dive into the world of independently released and private-press jazz from across the US and Canada. The fourth instalment highlights visionary artists who worked beyond the major label system: from the spiritual minimalism of Ahmed Jamal and the cosmic brass meditations of Brother Ah, to the rare community recording of The African Jazz Ensemble, captured live at Brightwood Elementary School in Washington D.C. Expect modal explorations, small-press ingenuity, and the restless experimentation that defined the continent’s underground jazz movement.

🥁  Core Musical Structure
1. Baladi Progression (“Baladi Taqasim”)
A typical Baladi progression is not verse-chorus, but an unfolding story arc:
Taqsim (Improvised instrumental solo, usually accordion or oud)
Slow Baladi (heavy, grounded rhythm enters)
Build-up section (percussion & melodic dialogue intensify)
Fast Baladi / Saidi switch-up (tempo increases)
Drum Solo / Tahtib-style ending flourish

🎵  Essence and Origin
Raqs Baladi (رَقص بلدي) literally means “dance of the country” or “folk dance.”
It is the root form of Egyptian belly dance, born from rural social dances that migrated into the cities — especially Cairo — and evolved alongside early 20th-century urban music ensembles (takht).
Baladi is to Egypt what blues is to America: a soul form — earthy, improvisational, conversational between body and instrument.

Baladi Bloom

Jazz Turbulence 17.10.25

“Sky Pulse” is a cinematic instrumental piece in the ambient Nordic folk tradition. A rhythmic heartbeat of tribal drums meets shimmering strings and airy textures, creating a sense of movement and vastness. The piece evokes themes of cosmic rhythm, inner awakening, and the pulse of the unseen — told through the breath of the sky itself. It’s a hymn to those who listen deeply, to those who move with the wind, and to those who rise with the rhythm.

Suitable for fantasy trailers, meditative formats, audio dramas, spiritual storytelling, or Nordic-inspired worlds.

Composed in October 2025.

Canvouver is the smoother-yet-mathier sequel to Electrical Gremlin. It features seven instrumental-and-electronic tracks, ranging from the nearly 10-minute-long shapeshifting title track (which goes from ambient bliss to punked-out, violin-driven krautrock), to the restless and skittering "Whirlygig", to the Debussy and Phil Collins-inflected "mathgaze" of "Aloclek Drive", and the chiming, hazy, lo-fi guitars of "Arroxeado".

Brian Weitz has been making music as Geologist with Animal Collective for going on two decades. The egg first cracked in the mid 90's at Baltimore record fairs and long overnight radio shows in New York on WKCR. Whether making sounds in the practice space or playing records, his bandmates call it the O'Brien System. One Tuesday each month you can go there with him on NTS 2.

From the host: _"Jack DeJohnette Tribute. Your favorite drummer’s favorite drummer’s favorite drummer. The Maestro’s supernatural sensitivity as a collaborator, composer, and improviser are on full display across the 1000+ recordings in his body of work. These are some of my personal touchstones" - Jeremy Hyman_

Round About Kaponiera K

Dive into this dark instrumental piece, fusing and the feeling of the blues anchored in a binary meter, the track is carried by a melancholic guitare theme that leads to an expressive modal improvisation. The whole is powerfully supported by a deep bass and rhythmic drums.

🔥 "Instant playlist material. OBSESSED."

I was born in Leicester in the late 1950's. Since semi-retirement and subsequent retirement (as a Dermatologist and formerly G.P) I have spent some of my spare time trying to learn music theory. I also enjoy long distance running as well as cycling, skiing and tennis. I enjoy cooking, gardening and growing a few vegetables. And fine wine (in moderation). I enjoy insect photography, with a particular interest in hoverflies..
To my regret I never learnt a musical instrument when younger but I have listened to and been fascinated by music for as long as I can remember. The advent of the computer age has allowed me to pursue my desire to compose music. I use Logic Pro X software (and MuseScore3 for recent piano compositions). My compositions reflect my varied listening preferences (including Contemporary Classical, Jazz and  Music from other cultures around the world).
