A lesser-known album from One Way, but a great one – and in some ways, even fresher and more appealing than some of their more famous work from the time!

Deeply soulful work from Orgone – a group who are working at a level here that we never would have expected a decade back!

Wicked work by pianist Horace Parlan – and one of his most stunning Blue Note sessions ever!

Freda Payne —
Band Of Gold ... CD Invictus/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... $10.99 14.99
A landmark album from Freda Payne!

Wahoo! ... CD Blue Note (Japan), 1964. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Wahoo is right – as Duke Pearson sets up one of his hippest sessions of the 60s, a lyrical batch of soul jazz tracks, with that slight edge of darkness that he was putting into his best work as the decade progressed!

You've Got To Keep On Moving ... CD Konduko/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1978. New Copy ... $18.99 23.99
The second US album by the team of Phillip & Lloyd – much more in the Miami soul mode than their first record, cut for the Konduko subsidiary of TK with a feel that's almost Caribbean disco!

Sun Ra —
Omniverse (with bonus tracks) ... CD Saturn/Modern Harmonic, 1979. New Copy ... $11.99 16.99
A really great record, and one that was recorded by a smaller version of the Arkestra than usual – done in this spiritual style that's almost a bit like some of the Horo Records material that Sun Ra had recorded just a short time before!

Rich-voiced tenor work from Diego Rivera, a player who just seems to get better and better with each new album as a leader!

I Am ... CD Tru Thoughts (UK), 2024. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99

A fantastic album by Pharoah Sanders – one of his later albums for Impulse, but one of his best!

Wayne Shorter —
Odyssey Of Iska (HQCD pressing) ... CD Blue Note (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99
A very unusual album for Wayne Shorter – recorded right around that 1970 point when Duke Pearson was exploring formats for Blue Note artists that included larger, often electric arrangements, pointing the way towards some of the later 70s soul jazz work on labels like Kudu or CTI! This set, ... (Jazz) read more CD
Lonnie Liston Smith —
Astral Traveling (with bonus tracks) ... CD Flying Dutchman/BGP (UK), 1973. New Copy ... $8.99 14.99
One of Lonnie Liston Smith's most spiritual sessions, and the record that most clearly shows his roots with Pharoah Sanders!

Maximum Enjoyment ... CD Posi-Tone, 2019. New Copy ... $11.99 17.98
A record that definitely lives up to its promised title – as the whole thing brims over with excellent work from players you might know from other albums on the Posi-Tone label!

Stargard ... CD MCA/Universal (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
The debut album from Stargard – a set that turned the trio into strong soul stars, after a brief and mistaken role in the film Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band!

A label-spanning collection that definitely offers up the best of this wonderful soul singer – plus loads of lesser-known gems as well!

For Sweet People From Sweet Charles ... CD People/Universal (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... $12.99 18.99

Unit Structures (UHQCD pressing) ... CD Blue Note (Japan), 1966. New Copy ... $18.99 23.99
One of a rare few albums done by pianist Cecil Taylor for the Blue Note label in the 60s – some of the most outside work recorded for the imprint at the time! The word "structures" here is perhaps a bit misplaced – as the work has a strong sense of freedom with the soloists ... (Jazz) read more CD

Henry The Human Fly ... CD Island (Japan), 1972. New Copy ... $10.99 13.99

Startling!
