Founded in 2005 by Jean Claude Jones, the KADIMA COLLECTIVE is a network of musicians involved in free improvised performance. The Kadima recording label (KCR) promotes and co-produces CDs and live performances, helping develop and connect musicians in the field of free improvisation and creative music in Israel and abroad.

 

Kadima is a valuable resource for musicians visiting from abroad who want to make contact with local musicians. It assists them in finding performance venues and offers studio services free of charge. It also organizes music salons where artists present work in progress.

The Kadima Triptych Series

Kadima is launching a new concept in presenting the work of artists in the forefront of the musical world: the triptych.
Each title in the triptych series combines audio (CD), video (DVD), and text (book) in one package. The CD contains the artist's work. The DVD addresses issues of technique or documents the process of creating the music on the CD. The book contains notation, memoirs, biography, a manifesto, or other related material.

Kadima has produced two titles to launch the triptych series: Mark Dresser: Guts and Deep Tones for Peace.
