Richard Evans

Dealing With Hard Times
Atlantic/Collectables, 1972. New Copy
A sublime set of soul instrumentals -- very funky work, and sort of a 70s follow-up to the Soulful Strings albums on Cadet Records from the 60s! Maestro Richard Evans is at the top of his game here -- stepping out with that hip Chisoul mode he first forged at Chess, tuned here towards some even ... (Soul)
cover art  
Alston/P-Vine (Japan), 1975. New Copy
One of the most unique albums to ever come out of the Miami soul scene of the 70s -- a sublime set of work that we'd easily rank right up there with the best material of the time from Donny Hathaway or Stevie Wonder! Milton Wright has a really jazzy groove to his music -- and he mixes his own ... (Soul)
cover art  
RGE/Bomba (Japan), 1965. New Copy
Bossa piano genius from a young Manfredo Fest -- one of his first albums, and a very jazzy set at that! The group's his original trio from the early days, a very soulful ensemble with work on bass and drums that is every bit as great as Manfredo's own strong lines on piano -- tight, in a bossa ... (Brazil)
cover art  
Polydor (Japan), 1979. New Copy
An oft-overlooked funky soul gem from the incredible Roy Ayers -- taking turns with both uptempo material and more smoothed out soul sounds -- all done with Roy's trademark jazzy approach to the dancefloor! No Stranger To Love is a sly, and often funky set that deserves to be mentioned with his ... (Soul)
cover art  

Gian Franco Plenizio & Enrico Pieranunzi

Liberi Armati Pericolosi
Beat (Italy), Late 70s. New Copy
A cool crime soundtrack from the Italian scene -- one that's served up with lots of 70s-styled instrumentation, and a great jazzy feel on some of the best cuts! The sound here is a bit less polished than on some of the other Italian scores of the time -- almost played live, and spontaneously by ... (Soundtracks)
cover art  

Atlantic Starr

Straight To The Point
A&M/Universal (Japan), 1980. New Copy
Atlantic Starr definitely get straight to the point on this set -- bursting out strongly with an upbeat groove from the very first note -- all produced to perfection by maestro Bobby Eli, in the same manner as some of his other great late 70s work for other artists! The group's a big one, but they' ... (Soul)
cover art  
R&R/Jazzman (UK), 1974. New Copy
One of THE all-time indie funk classics of the 70s -- the standout LP by Bobby Williams, an obscure James Brown-styled vocalist with a really great sound! The style here cops plenty from JB at his funkiest -- but that's A-OK with us, because Bobby gets that sound so completely right -- and the raw ... (Soul)
cover art  
Pulse/Jazzhus Disk (Japan), 1957. New Copy
A beautiful combination of piano and vibes -- performed here by a hip German combo from the postwar years! The quartet features piano from Wolfgang Lauth and vibes from Fritz Hartshuh -- the latter of whom plays with a nicely hard-edged, chromatic sound -- a great link between some of the first ... (Jazz)
cover art  

Fred Wesley & The Horny Horns

Blow For Me, A Toot For You
Atlantic/Collectables, 1977. New Copy
After Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker came head to head with James Brown in the mid 70s, they broke off and formed the Horny Horns contingent -- a tight funky backing section that's featured on a number of late 70s funk sessions, and which also recorded some extremely nice numbers on their own! This ... (Soul)
cover art  

Rice & Beans Orchestra

Rice & Beans Orchestra
Dash/Get Disconnected, 1976. New Copy
A great mix of symphonic disco and Latin hustle -- one of the more compelling moments from The Rice & Beans Orchestra, served up with some tight arrangements by Hector Garrido! There's a nice blend of New York and Miami modes going on here -- and the proceedings are largely instrumental, with ... (Soul)
cover art  
Som Livre/Bomba (Japan), 1976. New Copy
The earliest album we've ever seen from the legendary Djavan -- and a record that's even better than some of his classics for Columbia! The album has a sound that's relatively spare -- with Djavan's wonderful vocals backed by a small combo that mixes up samba and jazz -- using electric piano to ... (Brazil)
cover art  

Carlo Rustichelli

Milano Rovente
Beat (Italy), 1973. New Copy
A soundtrack with a lot more class than you might guess from the image on the cover -- a really dark little score that shows composer Carlo Rustichelli at his best! Some of the best tunes here have a slinky, jazzy quality that almost takes us back to late 50s American crime jazz scores -- or even ... (Soundtracks)
cover art  
20th Century/Universal (Japan), 1979. New Copy
Soaring soul from Stephanie Mills -- one of the lady's all-time hits, and for good reason too! The album really gives Stephanie's great voice a lot of focus -- an upbeat, uptempo groove that sets her firmly on the dancefloor, but always with a touch of class -- and a lot more depth than some of ... (Soul)
cover art  
Phil-LA Of Soul, Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy
A killer full length set of work from Cliff Nobles -- the artist best known to the world for a late 60s instrumental hit, but a pretty great singer as well! This wonderful collection features both vocal and instrumental sides of the Cliff Nobles sound -- tunes that are a testament to his ... (Soul)
cover art  
Madvillain/Stones Throw, 2008. New Copy 2LP
Revisions, reworked and re-imagined material from the mighty Madvillain! The original Madvillain LP is arguably one of the best Stones Throw album ever, held up by many as one of the best indie hip hop albums of the decade if not all time -- so Madlib is wise to take a freewheeling, fairly loose ... (Hip Hop)
cover art  
World Pacific/Fresh Sound (Spain), 1957. New Copy
A wonderfully modern little record from the team of Charlie Mariano and Jerry Dodgion -- a set that was originally issued with an old-timey bathing beauty cover image that obscured its fresh-voiced 50s appeal! Mariano and Dodgion work here to open up some older chestnuts from many years back -- ... (Jazz)
cover art  

Brothers Johnson

Blam
A&M/Universal (Japan), 1978. New Copy
Blam is right -- an all-out batch of funky tracks from The Brothers Johnson -- captured here right in the middle of their classic period with Quincy Jones! The Q's at the helm on production for the set, and the record's a great extension of their earlier efforts with the man -- but a bit more ... (Soul)
cover art  
Deja Vu (Italy), 2008. New Copy
A wonderful take on "Send In The Clowns" -- one that's recorded with the same modal style as Lorez Alexandria's rare version from the 70s! The rhythms here leap with a wonderful sort of groove -- a quick-stepping style that's made this variation a favorite with the Dingwalls scene for 20 ... (Funky 45's)
cover art  
Far Out (UK), Late 90s/2000s. New Copy
Killer contemporary bossa from the Far Out label -- easily one of the hippest Brazilian imprints going, and one of the few who really manage to get a classic sound right!

Fred Wesley & The Horny Horns

Say Blow By Blow Backwards

cover art  
Hit/Jazzhus Disk (Japan), 1961. New Copy
The band may be riding in a carriage on the cover, but there's nothing old-timey about this set -- as the record represents some of the best modern jazz on the Danish scene at the start of the 60s!

cover art  

Carl Drewo & The Clarke Boland Big Band

Swing Waltz Swing
Rearward/Schema (Italy), 1966. New Copy
One of the coolest projects ever to come from the Clarke Boland Big Band scene of the 60s -- an album done under the leadership of Austrian tenor player Carl Drewo, but one that features all of his bandmates from the better-known big band! The set's wonderfully swinging throughout -- done in a ... (Jazz)

Falcons featuring Sonny Munro

Good Good Feelings
Soul Junction (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy
A long-overdue look at the mighty mid 60s work of The Falcons -- a group who are usually only covered during their early doo wop years, but who went onto do some tremendous group soul as well! The work here features many of the group's excellent recordings for the Big Wheel label with vocalist ... (Soul)
cover art  
Phil-LA Of Soul, Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy
A motherlode of socking soul from the Fantastic Johnny C -- a hard-grooving singer who definitely earns the "fantastic" in his name! Johnny's style here is somewhere between Wilson Pickett and Dyke & The Blazers -- both contemporaries of his on the late 60s scene, but better-known ... (Soul)
cover art  

Fred Bongusto

La Cicala
Avanz (Japan), 1980. New Copy
Sexy scoring from Fred Bongusto -- a really wonderful batch of tracks with a slow-moving, slinky finish!

(Soundtracks)
cover art  

Celi Bee

Blow My Mind
Get Disconnected, Early 80s. New Copy
Celi Bee picks up a few 80s touches for this album -- mixing her usual disco groove with some slight Eruo electro touches -- adding in a nice dose of darkness to the set! Celi's still got an undeniably strong talent for a catchy tune -- the kind of vibe that first made us fall in love with her ... (Soul)
cover art  

Hubert Laws

Wild Flower
Atlantic/Collectables, 1972. New Copy
Flute, strings, and soul -- a wonderful counterpart to some of Hubert Laws' funkier albums of the time -- and a record cut with some tremendous backings!

cover art  
Circulations (Japan), 2008. New Copy
Slow-moving beats from Afta-1 -- a set that's got a spacey feel on the top, and heavier elements on the bottom! The sound here is relatively stark and spare -- cosmic keys and splashy beats, but all taken at a pace that's much more laidback than other artists of this nature -- not really hip hop, ... (New Grooves)
cover art  
Dot/Fresh Sound (Spain), 1957/1958. New Copy 2CD
Some of the earliest work as a leader from Paul Horn -- the inventive reed player who really sparkled in Chico Hamilton's group of the mid 50s, then went on to make some even more compelling records on his own! The first album in the set is House Of Horn -- recorded for Dot Records in 1957, and a ... (Jazz)
cover art  
Ace (UK), 1950s. New Copy
Tight early work from the great Joe Tex -- whose real commercial breakthrough was to come in the southern soul scene of the mid 60s -- but his early roots in jumpin' 50s cuts for the King label are pretty incredible! This set has some tight, mean little tunes that sound just as good to us as the ... (Soul)
cover art  

Bobbi Humphrey

Fancy Dancer
Blue Note, 1975. New Copy
Sublime genius from funky flute player Bobbi Humphrey -- a record we'd rank right up there with her classic Blacks & Blues set -- and like that one, another fantastic collaboration with producer Larry Mizell!

cover art

Piero Piccioni

Inghilterra Nuda
Avanz (Japan), 1969. New Copy
Totally groovy work from the legendary Piero Piccioni -- a score for an obscure "mondo" documentary about the sad state of culture in late 60s England! The score is probably best known for its "Richmondo Bridge" theme -- but it's filled with loads of other really wonderful cuts ... (Soundtracks)
cover art  

Reuben Wilson & The Cost Of Living

Got To Get Your Own
Cadet/Dusty Groove, 1975. New Copy
Monster funk from Hammond hero Reuben Wilson -- an album of hard-burning, bad-walking tunes that are a fair bit different than most of his other work!

cover art  

Joe Maneri & Peter Dolger

Peace Concert 1964
Unheard Music Series, 1964. New Copy
Very free work from the duo of Joe Maneri and Peter Dolger -- playing here in open, unstructured format that predates later experiments on labels like ESP and Impulse! Maneri's playing alto sax for the date, and Dolger's on drums -- and the performance of "Peace Concert" runs for almost ... (Jazz)

cover art  
Stones Throw, Mid/Late 80s. New Copy
Benchmark 80s electro -- and also part of the blueprint for the sound of west coast hip hop -- the groundbreaking work of Arabian Prince!

cover art  
Swedisk/Jazzhus Disk (Japan), 1964. New Copy
Really wonderful early work from pianist Berndt Egerbladh -- a player who's gotten a lot more global attention in recent years, but who sounds especially great on this rare date from the 60s!

A great bit of modern soul from Tolbert -- a cut that's presented here both in its original 7" version, and an unreleased 12" take! The tune's got a hell of a lot of warmth -- a glowing sort of glide that's completely seductive, and much more late 70s than you'd guess from the date of ... (Soul)
cover art  

Various

Miami Disco
Get Disconnected, Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy
The kind of music that made Miami discos just as happening as the clubs up north at the end of the 70s -- and a great batch of cuts that kept the city's scene burning strongly into the next decade! Not all of the artists here are of southern origin, but they either recorded for Miami labels, or ... (Funky Compilations)

cover art  

Full Fource

Long Way Together
Castle, 1980. New Copy

cover art  

Bamboos with Megan Washington & Ty

King Of The Rodeo/Can't Help Myself
Tru Thoughts (UK), 2008. New Copy
A new sort of funky groove from The Bamboos -- breaking a bit from their familiar deep funk mode!

(Funky 45's)
cover art  
Capitol, 2008. New Copy CD&DVD

cover art  
Digitmovies (Italy), 1970. New Copy
One of the darkest Bruno Nicolai soundtracks we've ever heard -- penned for an equally dark film directed by Jess Franco!

Toquinho & Sadao Watanabe

Made In Coracao
RCA (Brazil), 1988. New Copy
A lovely little meeting between bossa guitarist Toquinho and Japanese saxophonist Sadao Watanabe -- a set that has Sadao returning to some of the Brazilian styles he first recorded back in the 60s!
