The early recordings of Georgia Anne Muldrow -- and they're stunning -- showing Georgia's depth of soul and boundless creativity was in full force even in her late teens! As a whole, the tunes on Early are a bit leaner and less trippy than some of her more recent recording, but her spirit is as

One of Doc Severinsen's sweet funky sets from the 70s -- an album that features some great arrangements from Tom Scott, who really knows how to make things groove! The sound's a bit like some of the Maynard Ferguson albums on Columbia from the decade, but a bit warmer overall -- fuller clubby

Strut (UK), 1970s. New Copy
One of the coolest Christmas compilations you could ever hope to own -- but you probably guessed that already, from the cover image that pays tribute to a classic set from James Brown! The JB image is certainly well placed -- as most of the tracks here are deeply funky Holiday tunes -- the kind of

Denon (Japan), 1977. New Copy
A real 70s stormer from Frank Foster -- recorded with the Loud Minority ensemble used for the Mainstream album of the same name, but done in a style that's a bit more straight ahead, yet still plenty darn soulful! Frank's hanging here between the two sides of his career -- working in a larger band
