482 Music releases the work of jazz, world and improv artists who create what often resists assignment to a specific style, music that blends or bends conventional categorizations. Our goal is to seek out and release music that is rooted in the interplay of composition and improvisation, and that finds enjoyment in the exploration of new approaches to traditional genres.
The listener will find many of the best-known improvising musicians from around the world here, some working in one-off groups that do not exist before or after these recordings, making the quality of the performances that much more remarkable. And, we hope, you will find something a little unexpected in everything we present..
