A gem of a record from the groundbreaking Landsdowne series of UK jazz recordings at the end of the 70s – an ambitious effort directed by composer Neil Ardley, cut very much in the mode of the best work by the Ian Carr/Don Rendell group of the time! As the title might imply, the tunes are ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Like the other Art Ensemble record on Nessa, Les Stances A Sophie, this one was recorded in France on the beautiful July 7, 1969 during one of the most fruitful periods for the group. Unlike that one, though, this one is a very different recording musically. The LP features one long track, the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A perfect example of why the British jazz scene of the late 60s was so exciting – as Gordon Beck works here with a young John McLaughlin, in an album of surprising delights! The format is, as the title states, "experiments with pops" – late 60s soul and pop hits, given a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

One of the greatest albums by Victor Assis Brasil – a brilliant sax player who was one of Brazil's greatest jazz talents in the 70s! On this set, Victor really tightens things up from some of his spacier post-Coltrane albums of earlier years – crackling with a firey approach to the ... (Brazil, Jazz)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Despite the title of the album, the group's a sharp-edged fusion combo – one that hails from late 70s Japan, and who works here in the best mainstream fusion mode of the time! The tunes are mostly jazz funk with a bit of polish – heavy on guitars from Kazuo Takeda, who also takes off ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The great saxophonist Joki Freund leads an unusual group here in a very unusual setting!

A real treat – one of the few small group sessions ever recorded by Slide Hampton during the 60s!

One of the most compelling albums ever recorded by British alto genius Joe Harriott – a very unusual record that has him working with guitarist Amanico D'Silva, in a style that's got some wonderful modal undertones!

The great second album by the Italian group from the seventies that played great Brazilian jazz. Their first album is better known, and the groove's a bit different on this one – because there's an acoustic guitar thrown into the mix, which only seems to deepen the sound – that great ...

The second amazing album from Placebo – a wicked mix of funky fusion styles, and a real standout on the European scene of the early 70s! The group's the brainchild of Marc Moulin – who wrote all tracks, and plays a wealth of great keyboards, in ways that almost make him the European ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Very rare early work from LA reedman Bud Shank – blowing alto and flute here in a very cool small combo that includes Shorty Rogers on flugelhorn, Jimmy Rowles on piano, Harry Babasin on bass, and Roy Hart on drums!

A totally wonderful record from the Australian scene of the early 70s – a set that's more fusion than rock, and which has a warmly jazzy vibe that matches some of our favorite European work of this nature – particularly some of the late 70s/early 80s German electric work that had a ...

Finnish soul by an American singer – not the same Charles Williams that you might know from 70s jazz funk albums – but an even earlier talent, really shining brightly here in a soulful Scandinavian setting! The album's a really lost rare groove treasure – a record that almost has ... (Soul, Jazz)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
