Ithamara Koorax —
Love Dance – The Ballad Album ... CD Milestone/JSR, 2003. Used ... $1.99
A relatively mellow vocal outing from Ithamara Koorax – a voice that was introduced to us from her appearances on some groovy Brazilian dancefloor tunes, including some of those from Dom Um Romao's albums! The style here is quite different – very laidback, and in the ballad mode you'd ... read more CD
Peggy Lee —
I'm A Woman/Capitol/EMI (UK), 1963/1972. Used ... Just Sold Out!
2 slices of Peggy Lee – one classic pop, one adult contemporary! I'm A Woman was a landmark album in Peggy's career – one that featured some wonderful crossover hits that broke her into a whole new audience in the 60s – and which really helped cement Peggy's relationship with ... read more CD

Sammy Davis Jr —
Sammy Davis Jr Sings The Big Ones For Young Lovers ... CD Collectors Choice/Reprise, 1964. Used ... $16.99
A near-lost album from Sammy's years at Reprise – and an album that's got that nice bouncey style that the label was using with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra in the 60s! A lot of the thanks goes to producer Sonny Burke, who inflects Sammy's vocals with a punched-up set of rhythms that makes ... read more CD

A 2CD set, with 2 late 60s gems from Johnny Mathis!

Carmen McRae —
Sound Of Silence ... CD Atlantic (Japan), 1968. Used ... $12.99
One of Carmen McRae's great 60s albums for Atlantic Records – a set that's still strongly jazz-based overall, but which seems to have an extra dose of soul at the bottom! The approach is a bit like the best late 60s sides by Nancy Wilson or Marlena Shaw – rooted in jazz, but hipper ... read more CD

William Parker/Centering, 2016. Used ... $11.99
Really beautiful work from bassist William Parker – a set of tracks that are every bit as righteous as some of his other albums, but in a completely different way! The music here is from a musical production that Parker's been creating over the past two-decades – beautiful vocal tunes ... (Jazz, Vocalists) read more CD
Teddi King —
Mr Wonderful – The Complete RCA Singles 1956 to 1958 ... CD RCA/DRG, Mid 1950s. Used ... $6.99
Seminal work from vocalist Teddi King – quite possibly her best material ever, recorded during a memorable run for RCA in the mid 50s! King first came to fame as more of a small combo jazz singer, but during her time at RCA, she tried out a variety of different modes – some of the ... read more CD
