Monuments ... LP RCA, 1979. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A rare electric outing from legendary altoist Jackie McLean – and one that comes off surprisingly well, given that the move was quite a shift for the reedman!

A stripped down, bluesy folk soul set of Dylan tunes by Odetta – returning some kudos to a kid who was hugely inspired by her earlier material in the late 50s – a really beautiful record and possibly one of the best ever Dylan covers albums!

A Hollywood Party, recorded in New Jersey – with a groove that's every bit as tight as any of Odyssey's best records, but with a slightly jazzier vibe as well!

Rhythm —
Rhythm ... LP RCA, 1976. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Beautiful record by this little-known vocal quartet, who (we think) only made this one record for RCA.

The real treat, though, is when the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
RCA, 1975. Near Mint- ... $24.99
