A totally great record, with very obscure origin – one that didn't come out until 1973, but which features 1969 studio jam session work with a huge amount of famous players – including Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton under fake names – plus Harvey Mandel, Jack Wilkins, Buzzy Feiten, ...

Out Of Stock
The very first album from Free Design – and the start of a mini-legend that's seen the group really growing in fame as the years move on! The group borrow some harmonies from earlier pop and jazz vocal groups, and work in a style that certainly nods to the sunshine pop generation – but ... (Vocalists) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the wildest of the classic Free Design albums, and one that will leave you scratching your head – thinking that these guys were either the biggest acid freaks around, or the most simplistic kiddie-minded adults you'll ever meet! We don't know what got into the water in the studio on ... (Vocalists) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The fab second album by the Free Design – one that has them moving confidently into the realm of groovy pop – magically touching songs with their unique innocent harmony approach, and completely transforming them in the process! The set includes wonderful versions of groovy 60s pop ... (Vocalists) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Righteous soul from The Free Movement – a mixed male/female harmony group with a feel that's similar to The Fifth Dimension or The Friends Of Distinction, but a bit hipper!

Freedom At Last ... LP BYG/Actuel (France), 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold ...
Out Of Stock
One of the few rock albums on the BYG/Actuel label – and a nice one at that! The group's an early spinoff from the very first lineup of Procol Harum, but by the time this album was recorded the only thing the groups shared was drummer Bobby Harrison. The sound is stripped down blues rock ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing! Cover has some slight waviness, and a small mark near the top – but is nice overall. Vinyl is great, but has a very short click on side two.)

Out Of Stock
A fantastic funky combo from the mid 70s African scene – one who worked previously with Geraldo Pino, and who definitely show some traces of his own great work too – but who also have a madly great groove that's all their own! Freedom Family are definitely on the funkier side of the ... (Global Grooves) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A spare set of duets between Freeman and duo of guitarists – George Barnes and Carl Cress. As such, it's got a much more relaxed approach than any of Freeman's other albums, and its open-ended sound really lets you hear what a talent he was on tenor. Tracks are short, but they're filled ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
With Bob Wilber on soprano sax and clarinet, Bruce Turner on alto sax and clarinet, Keith Ingham on piano, Peter Ind on bass, Bobby Orr on drums; plus Roy Williams on trombone. (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album

Quite possibly our favorite album ever from Chico Freeman – a beautiful set that was originally issued only in Japan, and which has Chico hitting some of his strongest, most spiritual modes on record!

One of the number of great, post-Coltrane sides Chico would cut for India Navigation, with a searching quality that you might anticipate from the title. The group includes John Hicks, Cecil McBee, Billy Hart and fellow former AACM member Famoudou Don Moye. Titles include Horace Silver's "Peace ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A well-titled set from Chico Freeman – as the reedman definitely takes older modern modes into new territory here – moving in almost Monk-ish space, but with some sharper, bolder tones overall! The album's a surprising one for an early 80s major label release – a great reminder ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

George Freeman —
Man & Woman ... LP Groove Merchant, 1974. Very Good+ Gatefold ...
$19.99
One of the more laidback albums from George Freeman's early 70s run – but still a great little set that shows the mellower side of his talents!

The title certainly gets it right – as the album's one of the funkiest ever from guitarist George Freeman, and one of the few to really hit that messed-up groove he was working in the clubs before his mid 70s retreat to Chicago!

Just Russ Freeman on piano and Shelly Manne on drums! Tracks include "Prime Time", "Loose As A Goose", "Blue Monk", "On A Green Dolphin Street", and "Lullaby Of The Leaves". (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
A classic "discovery" of tenor saxophonist Von Freeman – one that was already relatively late in his career, but a key appearance on Atlantic under the auspices of Roland Kirk! The setting here is as loose and laidback as Von needs to really do his thing – backing by a trio ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A pretty rough and rugged set of rock tracks – performed by a trio who were all prisoners at London's legendary Borstal!

The great saxophonist Joki Freund leads an unusual group here in a very unusual setting!

Easily one of the most modern recordings made by pianist Don Friedman in his early years – a set of forward-thinking numbers done with a quartet that includes guitar Atilla Zoller!

One of the great early moments from Kinky Friedman – and a record that ranks right up there with some of the more groundbreaking early 70s work from artists like Steve Young, Guy Clark, or even Willie Nelson!

A record that has some blues influences at the core, but which also really moves past that energy right away – by folding in some of the hipper, headier styles that Frijid Pink had picked up while working on the Detroit scene at the end of the 70s!

The very first album from Frijid Pink – a heady set from the Detroit scene, yet one that also instantly has the group stepping away from their contemporaries!

The great second album from Ghana's K.

A sublime little set from the legendary Dave Frishberg – his first vocal effort ever, and quite different than most of his later work!

One of the most fully-formed albums from The Fugs – still quite hippy dippy, but with a focus that's sometimes missing in their other work!
