AFFJ follows Smalltown Supersound’s subsidiary imprint Smalltown Superjazzz, which ran from 2005-2012.

Its name is an homage to Don Cherry & Krystzof Penderecki’s The New Eternal Rhythm Orchestra track ‘Actions For Free Jazz Orchestra’ from their 1971 album Actions.

The label’s first release will be a collaborative album by Christian Marclay and Mats Gustafsson called Link, followed by a Joe McPhee & Paal Nilssen-Love record called Lift Every Voice And Sing.

Marclay and Gustafsson have previously collaborated on a live performance in 2016, which was released on limited 12″ via The Vinyl Factory.
