Outside

John F. Klaver returns with a masterclass designed to teach you exactly how to utilise 'outside playing' in your own solos by maximising your use of tension and release to create interesting melodic ideas and really draw your listeners in! John says 'This package is really about stepping outside the pentatonic box, and even about stepping outside of the key of the song you're playing in but of course, we're going to go back inside again. We're moving patterns around using intervals, we're using scales like the octatonic scale, altered scale, whole-tone scale and we're even suggesting other chords over the backing track we're playing in.

Spanning the years 1993 – 2004 this collection features remastered versions of the albums ‘Living On the Outside’ and ‘Poor Boy Blue’, and also includes a further 35 additional tracks drawn from demos, studio out-takes and previously unreleased live recordings from Jim’s personal archive. The album ‘Living On the Outside’ was first released in 2001 and featured guest appearances by such notable musicians as George Harrison, Steve Winwood, Paul Weller, Ian Paice and Gary Moore. ‘Poor Boy Blue’ would be Jim’s final album and was issued in 2004.

Outside Problems consists of nine fleeting, expansive moments of instrumental improvisation and melodic exploration make up a new album that captures the sound of music in everyday life.

'Full Potential' is the debut full-length album from Outside the Sphere, an improvised electro-acoustic collaboration of tenor saxophonist Tony Barba and drummer Michael Brenneis featuring signal path manipulation and electronic instruments of all description.
