Inner Space by Yosuke Yamashita / Adelhard Roidinger, released on Enja in 1977.

..."Inner Space" is a small album, coming from that time and it evidences quite unusual for Yosuke music - four duets with groovy acoustic Austrian bassist Adelhard Roidinger.
From very first seconds it becomes obvious that you're listening to different Yosuke album - airy,almost mellow and dreamy tunes would fit well on one of ECM albums of the time. Still sound is quite different from what is known by "ECM sound" - "Inner Space" has warm deep acoustic sound more usual for Japanese Three Blind Mice audiophile label...

Steam is a live album by jazz saxophonist Archie Shepp recorded at the East-West Jazz Festival in Nuremberg, West Germany on May 14, 1976 and released on the Enja label.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "The avant-garde innovator Shepp still sounds pretty strong at what was for him a fairly late period, displaying his distinctive raspy tone and what were for him some typically emotional ideas" - Wikipedia

African Sketchbook was released on LP by Enja Records. The AllMusic reviewer concluded that, "The recording quality leaves a little to be desired, but the wonderful music more than makes up for it. Highly recommended, especially for those who came to Ibrahim's music later in his career and who are unfamiliar with his early, arguably more substantial work."- Wikipedia

Angelica is an album by American guitarist Nels Cline which was released in 1988 by Enja Records.

Yann Grd on Allmusic

Very underrated. Great record by Nels Cline featuring his brother Alex on drums and Tim Berne on sax. Cline, who plays both acoustic and electric guitars, is still in the process of finding his own voice as a player but as a composer, he's already excelling. The atmosphere is very much European on this record with a few nods to Spanish music. It's beautful from start to finish.
