The Songlines Anthology (SGL 4201-2)  A carefully programmed budget-priced introduction to our artists, this “un-sampler” consists almost entirely of unissued material. Different tunes and sessions, alternate takes, guest artists, and concert performances make for some revealing comparisons.  “Songlines has built a splendid catalog....This collection has a lot of everything that makes the label distinctive.” —Andrew Bartlett, Earshot Jazz  “Musical connections and overlapping personnel create a textural mosaic of the label and its approach to sound... Reif's choices reveal a pronounced awareness of the many stylistic currents — structured improvisation, punkish slash and burn, European atonal and folk, Stockhausian sculptural — that inform the new jazz. ” —Josef Murphy, 5/4 Magazine
