The latter is the owner of a jazz-oriented record store in Vilnius named ''Thelonious''; according to Mikailionis, it is "probably the only store in Vilnius where one can find non-commercial music." Prior to starting the label, Mikailionis and Anosov put on concerts that featured artists such as William Parker, Matthew Shipp, Howard Riley, Joe McPhee, and Barry Guy. However, it was saxophonist Mats Gustafsson who, after performing a solo set, as well as one with Lithuanian musicians, encouraged them to found their own record label. Gustafsson's performances were issued as ''The Vilnius Implosion'' (solo), the label's first CD release, and ''The Vilnius Explosion'' (ensemble), their first vinyl release. In 2010, NoBusiness began working with musicologist Ed Hazell on historical multiple-CD collections, such as ''The Complet ...
