Toshiko Akiyoshi —
Ten Gallon Shuffle (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD 
Baystate/RCA (Japan), 1984. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A hokey title and cover, but a great little record – a lesser-known gem from the Toshiko Akioshi big band, recorded in the mid 80s for Japanese release! Toshiko's still working strongly with reedman Lew Tabackin here – and as always, the sound of the reeds really make the record – ... (Jazz) read more CD
(2006 Japanese pressing in a cool textured cover – includes obi!)
Art Blakey —
Caravan (1983) ... CD Baystate/BMG (Japan), 1983. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A smoker from Art Blakey's later years – a killer session that features a reunion of past Jazz Messengers, with a cast that includes Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Benny Golson on tenor, and Walter Davis Jr on piano! Buster Williams is on bass, and he brings a nice ... (Jazz) read more CD

Marion Brown —
Soul Eyes ... LP 
Baystate (Japan), 1978. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A nice rare one from the late 70s! Like his mentor Archie Shepp, Marion Brown came inside a bit in the late seventies, perhaps to prove that he could still play that way. On this Japanese-only recording, he's joined by Kenny Barron, Cecil McBee, and Philly Joe Jones. Some nice moody originals, ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Out of print. Includes obi!)
Kenny Drew Trio —
Afternoon In Europe ... CD Baystate/BMG (Japan), 1980. Used ... Out Of Stock
The title's a tribute to the great John Lewis – and although Kenny Drew definitely plays with a Lewis-like sense of space on the set, there's a warmth to the record that's pure Kenny all the way! The record stands strongly amidst some of the great Drew sessions for Baystate – mature ... (Jazz) read more CD
Kenny Drew Trio —
Elegy (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Baystate/BMG (Japan), 1986. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Great work from the Kenny Drew trio of the 80s – a lineup that always manages to bring out some deep sounds in their music – in this case, just the right undercurrent of sadness and loss to fit the title well! Drew's piano is beautiful at this point in his career – as fluid as ... (Jazz) read more CD

Benny Golson —
One More Mem'ry (Japanese pressing) ... LP Baystate (Japan), 1981. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A really beautiful Japanese-only session from Benny Golson – and proof that, throughout the years, Golson could always continue to turn out wonderful material! Benny's working here with old bandmate Curtis Fuller on trombone – and the pair are supported by a trio who include Bill Mays ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Baystate/Future Shock, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 28.99
Sublimely spiritual work from trombonist Charles Greenlee – a player who's best remembered for work as a sideman with Archie Shepp, but who really sparkles as a leader on this rare Japanese set! The vibe here is totally great – a righteous approach to soul jazz that rivals the best ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Karin Krog & Archie Shepp —
Hi-Fly (Japanese pressing) ... LP Compendium Records/Baystate (Japan), 1976. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A landmark meeting from one of the two greatest talents in jazz on the 70s European scene – vocalist Karin Krog and saxophonist Archie Shepp – both coming together in an extremely evocative session! The work has a very moody feel – as Krog's singing in a spacious tone that allows ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Kazu Matsui —
Time No Longer ... LP Baystate (Japan), 1981. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Baystate (Japan), 1978. Used ... $14.99
One of the only 70s sessions cut as a leader by pianist Art Matthews – and sweet little set that's overflowing with soul! The tracks are long and freely flowing – somewhat righteous, but never too far out – and mostly in a style that's inspired by McCoy Tyner, but which also ... (Jazz) read more CD

Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre —
Kwanza (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Baystate (Japan), 1977. Used ... Out Of Stock
Beautiful work from Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre – a rare Japanese-only album, recorded for the Baystate label with style that's a perfect summation of the AACM approach at the time!

Baystate/Victor (Japan), 1973. Used ... $24.99
A very unusual session for Carmen McRae – a live recording that features only her vocals and piano, on spare readings of a number of sophisticated songs that ably demonstrate the class and care she was bringing to her work at the time! The approach is quite different from some of the ... (Vocalists) read more CD

Hannibal Marvin Peterson & The Sunrise Orchestra —
Light ... CD Baystate (Japan), 1978. Used ... Out Of Stock
Not the orchestral session you might guess from the group's name, but a really righteous batch of work from Hannibal Marvin Peterson – one that really blows away most of his American and European recordings of the 70s! The set's got a really spiritual feel – definitely soaking in the ... (Jazz) read more CD
Hannibal Marvin Peterson & The Sunrise Orchestra —
Tribute ... CD Baystate (Japan), 1979. Used ... Out Of Stock
Sublime work from trumpeter Hannibal Marvin Peterson – a rare set that really shows him at the top of his game! There's a depth here you don't always find in other Hannibal records – a careful, complex sound that's also still deeply soulful as well – building up from the work of ... (Jazz) read more CD
Super Jazz Trio (Tommy Flanagan) —
Standard ... CD Baystate/BMG (Japan), 1980. Used ... Just Sold Out!
There's nothing standard here – because with a lineup that includes Tommy Flanagan on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, and Joe Chambers on drums – the set is definitely a cut above! The title's a reference to the songs – which are all older jazz standards – but the trio ... (Jazz) read more CD

Super Jazz Trio with Art Farmer —
Something Tasty ... CD Baystate/Victor (Japan), 1979. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Definitely something tasty from the Super Jazz Trio – a rare Japanese-only effort that has the combo joined by the mighty Art Farmer! Art plays flugelhorn on the date, and fits in wonderfully alongside the piano of Tommy Flanagan, bass of Reggie Workman, and drums of Joe Chambers – a ... (Jazz) read more CD

Charles Tolliver —
New Tolliver (aka Compassion) (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Baystate (Japan), 1977. Used ... Out Of Stock
An overlooked gem from trumpeter Charles Tolliver – not as well known as his Strata East sessions with Music Inc, but equally great! The sound here is a bit different than some of Tolliver's other albums of the 70s – as the group features the guitar of Nathan Page in place of the usual ... (Jazz) read more CD
