Pi Recordings is proud to welcome the influential alto saxophonist and composer Steve Coleman to the label with Harvesting Semblances and Affinities, his first release on an American label in nine years and his first new release in almost four years.

Pi Recordings is excited to announce the release of an important new recording, This Brings Us To, from Henry Threadgill with his band Zooid. Threadgill is one of the most highly respected composers / conceptualists in music today: He was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2003 and a United States Artist Fellowship in 2008.

This international improvising ensemble has been going since 1984 with various members, but a couple of years ago leader and legendary Norwegian sax and clarinet player Frode Gjerstad handpicked a new band of musicians that has meant something special for him during his long career. The title of this monumental 3CD set is relevant on several levels.

"In 1987 John Zorn, George Lewis, and Bill Frisell were all members of New York's thriving, conceptually-minded downtown scene.

"The Koeln concert shows us these positive vibrations marching through "the complete continuance of creative music," and on towards the next millennium. The "success of the future" is not a lost cause as long as there is music like this in the air."-Graham Lock
