A Jerry Garcia solo album, but one with a fair bit of help from the Grateful Dead as well – as the group play on album half the album's tracks!

Groovy soundtrack for this 60's international intrique film starring a young Horst Bucholz.

An overlooked gem from the Verve bossa years – a session that features the sweet tenor sax work of Stan Getz, alongside some swinging bossa arrangements from the great Gary McFarland!

An incredibly haunting session that has Stan's edgey alto fronting some of Russ Garcia's arch-modernist string arrangements – similar to those that he contributed to other Verve albums of the same style.

Oft-overlooked album that's actually one of Getz's most far-reaching of the 60s!

A strange pairing – but that's sometimes what makes these Verve "pro meets pro" sets from the 50s so great.

One of the best albums ever from this hip Australian soul singer – a vocalist who was as important to her scene in the 70s as Chaka Khan was in the US!
