SLAM Productions is a free jazz, contemporary jazz and improvised recorded music label founded by saxophonist George Haslam in 1989, which has released over 250 albums. These include albums from musicians such as Max Roach, Mal Waldron, Steve Lacy, Paul Dunmall, Lol Coxhill, Elton Dean and of course George himself, one of the world’s foremost baritone saxophone and tarogato players.
The following new releases have been annouced, a hat-trick of recent duo recordings by some incredible UK jazz artists and improvisers, including Paul Dunmall alongside saxophonist Kevin Figes. Plus saxophonist David Bitelli and drummer Ollie Usiskin, whose imaginative improvisations take us on a journey through post-bop, jazz-funk and free jazz landscapes. Kevin returns for the 3rd release alongside legendary vocalist Julie Tippetts.
We have also migrated the catalogue to Bandcamp, YouTube and Discogs Marketplace, with free shipping on UK sales and reduced shipping prices for international orders. Please give SLAM a follow on Bandcamp, YouTube and via our new social accounts, which can all be found here.
The full CD catalogue is also available from UK retailers such as Propermusic.com and Presto Jazz.
