Six Free Albums Claudio Nunez

Free Albums Galore tips us off to these freely-available recordings.

Avant-garde jazz guitarist Claudio Nunez is well represented in the netlabel scene. He has no less than six free online albums on two netlabels, MW Recordings and Clinical Archives. The Buenos Aires based musician has a sound that reminds me a little of Nels Cline yet really sounds like so one else. Definitely jazz but also influenced by Argentinian music and post-classical, these six albums are essential listening for any jazz or modern music fan.
