Savoy, 1977. Near Mint- ... $19.99
James Brown's old funky reed player hits wax in this groovy solo set of his own – playing here with a sound that's a bit more produced than usual, and with more of a 70's groove than you're used to hearing him in. His tone is perfect, as always, and the record is arranged and conducted by ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Nublu, 2022. New Copy ... $23.99
One of the trippiest records we've ever heard from Ilhan Erashin – very different than some of the groove-oriented work he gave us years before, and a rich array of sounds we never would have expected!

Amazing later work from Booker Ervin – far more modern and far-reaching than you'd guess from the "Texas" title in the set!
