about

It has been said that Robbie Basho's art was strongest in concert. To what extent the experience can be reconstituted is uncertain. Whatever the case, Snow Beneath the Belly of a White Swan is the mother lode of Basho live recordings. On these five discs we are treated to some remarkable pieces that have never been published, as well as surprising renditions of old favourites.

Compiled from Basho’s sprawling personal collection of master tapes (discovered during the production of Voice of the Eagle: The Enigma of Robbie Basho), and potentially encompassing his entire career, this edition represents a live companion to the studio set, Song of the Avatars: The Lost Master Tapes (Tompkins Square, 2020).

While the tapes have (in the main) survived incredibly well over the decades (against the odds), please note that some previously unpublished tracks with subpar to poor fidelity have been included.

When The Roses Come Again
by Daniel Bachman

supported by 16 fans who also own “Snow Beneath the Belly of a White Swan : The Lost Live Recordings”

Organic yet glitched, folksy yet forward-looking, seamless yet utterly compartmentalized. Again, just like w/ his last album, "When the Roses..." jumps on my Best Music of 2023 list 1/2way thru my 1st listen/lesson. Already struggling to not overplay this on repeat. Otis Nugatory
