Nat Adderley -- That's Nat . . . CD
Around December 23, 2009
A great hard bop session featuring the young Nat Adderley and Jerome Richardson up front.

Man, Akiko always knows how to keep things interesting -- always moving between different genres and styles, to serve up a fresh new groove with each release!

Attack -- About Time! -- The Definitive Mod-Pop Collection 1967 to 1968 . . . CD
Early November, 2009 (delayed)
An incendiary collection of mid-to-late 60s material from The Attack -- a proponent of the same UK scene that spawned The Creation and The Who -- and influenced later firebrands like The Buzzcocks and other punk era greats! About Time includes the group's Decca singles, rare radio sessions, and pre ...
Patti Austin -- End Of A Rainbow (Japanese pressing) . . . CD
Around November 26, 2009
Sweet smooth soul from Patti Austin -- emerging here as one of the most sophisticated vocalists of her generation, with a mellow modern style that would go onto have a huge influence on mainstream soul! David Matthews handled the arrangements for the album, and the overall style is similar to some ...
Auteur Jazz -- Aphorisms . . . CD
Around October 25, 2009 (delayed)
Joyously romping grooves from Auteur Jazz -- a combo who take the modal style of the 60s European scene, and infuse it with a few contemporary touches of their own! The group are a bit more open-ended than some of the other club jazz combos on the Ricky Tick label -- willing to stretch out in some ...

Avengers -- Avengers (180 gram pressing) . . . LP
Mid-January, 2010
Albert Ayler -- Albert Ayler In Greenwich Village (Japanese pressing) . . . CD
Around December 8, 2009
One of the first big moments of Albert Ayler's work in the jazz mainstream -- and a record that doesn't dim his greatness at all from the earlier sides recorded for ESP! The album's got a sharply angular sound that more than lives up to its vibrant cover image -- a well-honed approach to improvisat ...
Erykah Badu -- New Amerykah Part Two . . . CD

Derek Bailey -- Barcelona Chronicles -- All Thumbs (DVD) . . . DVD
Around August 1, 2009 (delayed)
Michael Baird -- Ends & Odds . . . CD
Early December, 2009
Arnaldo Baptista -- Loki . . . CD
Early December, 2009
Wild! This is an incredibly crazy and messed-up album of tracks cut by Arnaldo Baptista after the breakup of Os Mutantes. Baptista wrote all of the songs, except for one, which lists "Os Mutantes" in the credits -- and the tracks feature his booze-drenched vocals right up front, with bac ...

Lyndon Bartell -- I Feel A Strange Excitement In The Air . . . CD
Late November, 2009
Gary Bartz -- Harlem Bush Music -- Uhuru . . . LP
Mid-November, 2009
An essential record from Gary Bartz -- one of two albums he cut with Andy Bey, and the killer group he was calling his NTU Troup! Andy's vocals are incredible -- light years ahead of anything he did with his sisters, and similar to those he laid down on his own solo album for Atlantic, and on Blue ...
Count Basie & His Orchestra -- Basie's Beatle Bag . . . CD
Around January 27, 2010
Groovy baby! Basie and band tackle the hits of the Beatles, with arrangements by the great Chico O'Farrill, who's at his prime at this point in his career. The Basie group's got a groovier sound than usual -- probably due to the arrangements -- and Basie plays some nice organ riffs on a number of ...
Count Basie -- Legend The Legacy . . . CD
Around November 18, 2009
Count Basie -- Lil Ol Groovemaker Basie! . . . CD
Around January 27, 2010
Count Basie and Quincy Jones were always a mighty mighty combination -- and there's no finer proof than this sweet little set! Quincy had a way of swinging Basie's group even more than Hefti did -- really letting the piano step out front, and swinging the larger horn parts in this mode that was ext ...

Around October 30, 2009 (delayed)
Bionic Boogie -- Bionic Boogie . . . CD
Around January 1, 2010
The second album by Gregg Diamond's Bionic Boogie group -- and a pretty nice batch of souful disco. The record's not as totally sublime as the first -- mostly because Gregg doesn't get help from Luther Vandross on this one -- but the record holds up surprisingly well, and the mix of funky instrumen ...
Bionic Boogie -- Hot Butterfly . . . CD
Around January 1, 2010
A dancefloor classic! The album's the first by Gregg Diamond's Bionic Boogie, and head and shoulders above the rest -- a sublime blend of soul and club that's hardly been matched again! Diamond manages to make things groove, but never loses sight of the soulful styles that make the record so great ...

Art Blakey -- Jazz Message . . . CD
Around December 8, 2009
Blakey loses his usual group of Jazz Messengers to head up a quartet with Sonny Stitt on tenor, McCoy Tyner on piano, and Art Davis on bass. The group swings with a nice mix of hard bop and modernist sensibilities, and they run through a set of material that includes some originals ("Blues Bac ...
Art Blakey -- Midnight Session With The Jazz Messengers . . . CD
Around December 23, 2009
One of the rarest Art Blakey sessions of the late 50s -- recorded during that brief time when the Jazz Messengers featured Jackie McLean on alto sax! The set's recorded with an edge that's perhaps a bit rougher than some of the other Blakey records during this "many labels" stretch -- but ...
Carla Bley -- Carla's Christmas Carols . . . CD

Mid-November, 2009
Bobo (aka Willie Bobo) -- Bobo . . . CD
Around December 23, 2009
A brilliant set of jazzy Latin fusion -- one of Willie Bobo's best of the 70s, and a seminal crossover LP! The album takes the heavy Latin soul of Willie's earlier work, and gives it a sweet 70s twist -- adding in larger arrangements, impeccable production, and plenty of space to let the jazzy play ...

Fabrizio Bosso -- Black Spirits -- A Tribute To Freddie Hubbard . . . CD
Mid-November, 2009
David Bowie -- Aladdin Sane (180 gram pressing) . . . LP
Fall 2009
One of our favorite David Bowie albums ever! Aladdin Sane was a real turning point for Bowie -- recorded on the heels of the tremendously popular Ziggy Stardust album, but really pushing the boundaries past the more straight-ahead rock and glam of that record. Instead of just sitting on his laurel ...
David Bowie -- Diamond Dogs (180 gram pressing) . . . LP
Fall 2009
David Bowie at his most sinister for the 70s -- a landmark set that combines the harder rocking sound of the Ziggy Stardust years with the more sophisticated theatrics of Aladdin Sane -- in a style that features some of the darkest, most political work of Bowie's career! There's a depth to the reco ...
Lester Bowie -- Numbers 1 & 2 . . . CD
Around October 20, 2009 (delayed)
Early work from Bowie -- and essentially an Art Ensemble record. The session was cut in 1967 by Chuck Nessa, and it features performances of the tracks "Number 1" and "Number 2" by Bowie -- played by an ensemble that features him, Roscoe Mitchell, Malachi Favors, and Joseph Jarm ...
David Bowie -- Young Americans (180 gram pressing) . . . LP
Fall 2009
A brilliant soul album! That's right, we said SOUL album! Bowie was at the height of his Ziggy Stardust fame when this one was recorded -- a drastic left-turn in styles, forged during a point in his American tour when he could take a break, head to Philly, plug in at the Sigma Sound Studios, and c ...

Kenny Burrell -- Generation Ago Today . . . CD
Around December 8, 2009
A really sweet little album from guitarist Kenny Burrell -- one in which he takes older tunes ("a generation ago"), and updates them with a sweetly compressed Verve 60s groove ("today"!) The record features 2 small groups -- one with Ron Carter, Grady Tate, and Phil Woods; the ...
Kenny Burrell -- Kenny Burrell (Blue Note 1543) . . . CD
Around December 9, 2009
Great early stuff from Kenny -- with a no-nonsense jazz guitar approach that works well on the album's unusual range of material. As with other Blue Note albums from the period, Kenny plays in a number of different settings -- from solo guitar on the track "But Not For Me", to boppish qui ...
Terry Callier -- Dancing Girl/Love Theme From Spartacus . . . 12-inch
Mid-November, 2009
Can -- Soon Over Babaluma . . . CD
Around November 24, 2009
Long and jamming tracks from the team of Irmin Schmidt, Jacki Liebezeit, Holger Czukay, and Michael Karoli. Sure, Damo's not on vocals any more, but the instrumentation's still pretty darn great -- and tracks include "Chain Reaction", "Quantum Physics", "Dizzy Dizzy", ...

Bob Carpenter -- Silent Passage . . . CD
Early November, 2009 (delayed)
Ron Carter -- All Blues . . . CD
Around November 26, 2009
One of Ron's best from the 70s -- a hip and subtle effort recorded for CTI, with a small group that includes Joe Henderson on tenor, Roland Hanna on piano, and Billy Cobham on drums. Henderson's tenor work dominates the album, and the long tracks really let him snake around mightily. Richard Tee a ...
Ron Carter -- Spanish Blue . . . CD
Around November 26, 2009
One of the best Ron Carter albums from the mid 70s -- and a set of 4 open-ended modal tracks that hit a similar Latin/but not Latin approach as the tracks on Coltrane's great Ole album. The group's a small one -- featuring Carter on bass, Billy Cobham on drums, Jay Berliner on guitar, Ralph MacDona ...

Kenny Clarke & Francy Boland -- Golden Eight . . . CD
Fall 2009
A fantastic session from the early days of the Clarke-Boland Big Band! The record was cut in 1961, under the aegis of Gigi Campi -- and it features a core group that would later grow into the much-respected CBBB unit during the MPS years -- working here as a smaller combo on a rare date for Blue No ...

Mid-November, 2009
Clarke Boland Big Band -- Handle With Care . . . CD
Fall 2009
Great work by this legendary hard swinging band -- an early 60s American album issued on Atlantic Records, in the years before the Clark Boland Band's legendary run on MPS! Despite the early date, the album's got all the core elements of the band's sound in place -- soaring rhythms, sharp-edged fro ...
Clarke Boland Big Band -- Jazz Is Universal . . . CD
Fall 2009
Great early genius from the Clarke Boland Big Band -- proof that Kenny and Francy were onto something great, right from the start! The album really has the group hitting the heights of their MPS years -- stretching out way past earlier big band modes, into the hip mix of rhythms and soulful solos t ...

Early December, 2009
Clipse -- Til The Casket Drops . . . CD
Early December, 2009
Cluster -- Curiosum . . . CD
Mid-October, 2009 (delayed)
An early 80s effort from Cluster that finds Moebius & Roedelius changing things up bit -- with shorter, somewhat spare and densely thumping atmospherics -- with more focus on odd melodies that slow building hypnosis! This was the last Cluster record for almost a decade, making it a bit of a str ...
George Coleman & The Rob Agerbeek Trio -- On Green Dolphin Street . . . CD
Early November, 2009 (delayed)
John Coltrane -- Lush Life . . . LP
Around June 10, 2009 (delayed)
Strong work from John Coltrane's early years as a leader -- even if the album is sort of a collection of tracks that Trane recorded for Prestige, instead of a discreetly separate session! Side one features Coltrane's tenor in a spare setting with Earl May on bass and Art Taylor on drums -- playing ...
John Coltrane & Wilbur Harden -- Mainstream 1958 -- The East Coast Jazz Scene . . . CD
Around December 23, 2009
An incredible chapter of John Coltrane's early career -- one of a pair of albums he cut with trumpeter Wilbur Harden for Savoy records! The title's a bit misleading, as the sound here really isn't "mainstream" at all -- but more in the longer modal mode that would emerge more strongly in ...

Cortex -- Troupeau Bleu . . . LP
Around September 22, 2009 (delayed)
A legendary bit of funky fusion from the French scene of the 70s -- the standout set from Cortex, a combo who's very heavy on the keyboards! The tunes have a feel that's quite different than American electric work of the time -- funky, but also a bit breezy too -- with a strong Brazilian influence ...
Cosiner -- Crafty Tunes . . . CD
Mid-October, 2009 (delayed)
Cosiner -- Haunt . . . LP
Mid-October, 2009 (delayed)
A bit haunting, but also blissful and material from Cosiner & Capital -- a blend of atmospheric beats and percussion, and guitars -- a nice blend of spacey and organic grooves! Producer Cosiner has a fresh approach to the all around dynamic, with ranges from spooky to soothing, and the guitars ...

'A great little Brazilian group from the 70s -- one who continues the harmony styles of Sergio Mendes in the 60s, but takes the music into some groovy new directions!

Galactic funk & synth soul from Dam Funk -- his epic full length debut Toeachizown for Stones Throw -- and a record that should be a game changer for the southern Cali ambassador of cosmic funk beats, heavy bass and synth grooves! Dam Funk is part throwback to the electro era -- his vintage syn ...

Don't let the "horns" in the title put you off -- because the record's not a hokey "with horns" record by Miles, but a batch of all-star sessions that has him playing with some really tremendous contemporaries! The set compiles early Miles Davis sides from two different Prestige ...
Miles Davis -- Miles Davis & The Modern Jazz Giants . . . LP
Around April 15, 2009 (delayed)

One of the best Buddy DeFranco albums from the 50s -- an open-ended session that features a quartet with Sonny Clark on piano, and some longer tunes than usual!

Buddy DeFranco -- Mr Clarinet (Japanese pressing) . . . CD
Around December 8, 2009
Wonderful work from Buddy DeFranco -- one of the few jazz musicians who can make us love the clarinet in the post-swing years!

Incredible early work by Deodato!

Around November 28, 2009
An organ bossa classic from the legendary Eumir Deodato -- one of his strongest albums from his early years in Brazil!

A brilliant and overlooked gem from the glorious post-disco years of the New York scene -- the first album recorded by Lizzy Mercier Descloux, a French native who'd relocated to America in the late 70s, and soaked up a huge array of influences from the scene at the time!

Great early material from Lou Donaldson -- with a hard-hitting bop sound missing from his later work!

Lou Donaldson -- Swing & Soul (Japanese pressing) . . . CD
Around December 8, 2009
Pure genius from Lou Donaldson -- proof that his voice on the alto sax was one of the freshest in the post-Charlie Parker years!

Lou Donaldson Quintet -- Wailing With Lou (Japanese pressing) . . . CD
Around December 9, 2009
Excellent early work by Lou -- recorded years before his electric funky period, and hard-grooving in the best Blue Note harbop style of the time!

A great bit of soulful fusion from drummer Peter Erskine -- one of the few albums he made as a leader of this nature, even though his playing graced lots of other wonderful records at the time! The approach here is tight, but never too much so -- smooth, but never slick -- a warmly electric groove ...
Jukka Eskola -- Walkover . . . CD
Around November 1, 2009 (delayed)
Wonderful work from trumpeter Jukka Eskola -- a set that's every bit as hip and jazzy as his work with the Five Corners Quintet!

Bill Evans -- Bill Evans Trio with Symphony Orchestra . . . CD
Around December 8, 2009
Tremendous work from Bill Evans -- one of his rare non-trio sides of the 60s -- and a stunning batch of tunes with backings from the mighty Claus Ogerman! Most of the tunes here are of classical origin, but they're recast by Evans and Ogerman with almost a soundtrack sensitivity -- Bill's piano up ...
Bill Evans & Shelly Manne -- Empathy (Japanese pressing) . . . CD
Around December 8, 2009
The cover co-credits Bill Evans and Shelly Manne as the leader of the set -- and that distinction's an important one -- as the record has a slightly different feel than some of Bill's other 60s work for Verve!

One of Tal's earliest for Verve -- and a wonderfully laid back set that lets him open up with that incredible tone, taking the electric guitar to a whole new place in jazz, and showing that the instrument has volumes to speak in both phrasing and tone! The group's a quartet -- with Gerald Wiggins o ...
Tal Farlow -- Interpretations Of Tal Farlow . . . CD
Around January 27, 2010
One of the rarest albums by the guitar jazz great Tal Farlow! The set's one of Tal's best for Verve (although they're all pretty darn good), and it features his edgey guitar in a west coast rhythm trio with Claude Williamson, Red Mitchell, and Stan Levey. The titles are mostly standards, but they' ...
Tal Farlow -- Tal Farlow Album . . . CD
Around January 27, 2010
Tremendous guitar work from the great Tal Farlow -- easily one of our favorite jazz guitarists ever, and a player with a wonderful sense of tone and timing!

Very cool reissue of this rare early Blue Note album by guitarist Tal Farlow -- issued here in a stunning miniature reproduction of the original 10" LP format! The record has a cool 2-guitar frontline, played by Farlow and the obscure Don Arnone -- with a sound that's very different from Farlo ...

Excellent set of R&B tinged fusion, featuring this underrated piano talent from the 70's. Tight funky fusion grooves, in a sort of Donald Byrd 70's sort of vein, but with a sound that's all Rodney's own. Loads of great cuts, including "Windy City", "On The Path", "I Li ...

Curtis Fuller -- Curtis Fuller Vol 3 (Japanese pressing) . . . CD

A beautiful little session from trombonist Curtis Fuller -- and quite possibly the most obscure of all his Blue Note albums, all of which are pretty darn obscure!

Curtis Fuller -- Opener (45rpm -- 180gram pressing) . . . LP
Around January 10, 2010
An obscure little groover from Curtis Fuller -- and one of his hardest blowing sessions for Blue Note!

Funk Inc -- Funk Inc . . . LP
Mid-November, 2009
A killer instrumental album of hard organ grooves and funky basslines!

The album grooves hard in the same sound as some of the classic work by Pre ...
Funk Inc -- Superfunk . . . LP
Mid-November, 2009
One of Funk Inc's greatest albums -- and a really tight batch of funky tunes given some stellar production by David Axelrod!

The tracks are nice and open -- with plenty of room for Sta ...
Stan Getz -- Imported From Europe . . . CD
Around January 27, 2010
Although pressed up by Verve, the music is definitely Imported From Europe -- as Stan Getz plays here with a host of great Swedish players -- on a date that makes for a real standout in his 50s catalog! Stan was living in Sweden at the time of the album -- bringing a big influence to the scene ther ...
Stan Getz -- More West Coast Jazz With Stan Getz . . . CD

The title's a bit misleading, but the record's a great one!

Stan Getz -- Steamer . . . CD
Around January 27, 2010
The title may be a bit strangely put -- as "Steamer" isn't a word that we'd necessarily think to use with the gently flowing tenor tone of Stan Getz -- but that doesn't stop the album from being a great one, and perhaps in Getz-like terms, it might well have a bit more steam than usual! T ...

Not really a Goblin soundtrack, so much as a soundtrack project by some of the band's members -- Claudio Simonetti, Massimo Morante, and Fabio Pignatelli -- but still a nice one, with most of the group's classic elements firmly in place!

A fantastic mid 60s album from Grant Green, but one that never got its due originally, because it was unreleased at the time -- and didn't come out until this rare Japanese-only vinyl pressing!

One of the few American albums by Jutta Hipp -- a key figure in the German jazz scene of the postwar years, recording here at the Hickory House in New York!

Grachan Moncur III -- Evolution . . . LP
Around December 1, 2009
Landmark material -- one of Grachan Moncur's two classic albums for Blue Note, and a session that ranks as one of the best examples of the "new thing" moment in 60s jazz! Grachan's leading a sextet here that includes a number of players that he cut his teeth with in Jackie McLean's great ...

Thelonious Monk -- Monk & Coltrane . . . LP
Around October 15, 2008 (delayed)
An interesting little LP that compiles alternate takes from Monk's classic album for Riverside -- Monk's Music -- the session that featured the unique twin tenor lineup of John Coltrane and Coleman Hawkins. The album features 4 different alternates of tunes from that set -- "Nutty", " ...

Moondog -- Rare Material (2CD set) . . . CD
Early December, 2009
A wealth of rare material from Louis "Moondog" Hardin -- mostly tracks recorded during his expatriot years in Germany, but also some key bits from earlier years as well! The first disc features a 1995 date entitled Moondog Big Band -- one that adopts the Moondog musical ideals to larger g ...

Early December, 2009
Better Moorer -- Speed Up/It's My Thing . . . 7-inch
Around January 18, 2010
Excellent stuff! "Speed Up" is an incredibly groovy loping soul track from Chicago, with arrangements by Tom Tom and production by Bill Bunky Sheppard in keeping with his best work from the time! Betty's got a nice raw soul voice, and really belts out the groovy track -- which has an exc ...
Mop Mop -- Kiss Of Kali . . . CD
Around November 24, 2009
Jazzy grooves from Mop Mop -- a set that we like even more than their hip first album, and which is filled with great work from a variety of different musicians! The vibe here is a lot more acoustic than the last time around, although the sound moves past the straighter style of club jazz -- with l ...
Mandy More -- But That Is Me . . . CD
Mid-December, 2009
Lee Morgan -- Search For The New Land (45rpm -- 180gram pressing) . . . LP
Around March 10, 2010
A brilliant album that proves that even at the height of his success, Lee Morgan was one of the freest thinkers on Blue Note! The first cut on the album is the title track -- "Search For The New Land" -- and it's a beautiful 16 minute exploration of modal jazz themes, with an unusual stop ...
Ennio Morricone -- Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo (The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly) -- Special Edition . . . CD
Early November, 2009 (delayed)
A great little version of The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly soundtrack -- packaged under the Italian title, with a lot of bonus tracks that weren't on the original album! The set features 21 titles in all -- which should be more than a bit of spaghetti for all of your western fantasies. Morricone' ...

Mtume -- Kiss This World Goodbye . . . CD
Around December 23, 2009
Hard to find record by this funky conga player. Mtume sings and plays a bit of keyboards on this release, and the sound's a bit more produced than some of his other records. A number of the tracks have a hard P-Funk sort of sound, including "Just Funnin" and "Kiss This World Goodbye ...
Idris Muhammad -- Black Rhythm Revolution! . . . LP
Around November 20, 2009
One of the first records ever as a leader from funky drummer Idris Muhammad -- a set that was cut right at the same time Idris was burning up the kit on his classic jazz funk sessions with other Prestige label players! The groove here is tight, funky, and very much in the mode that Muhammad laid do ...

Nacao Zumbi -- Fome De Tudo . . . CD
Early August, 2009 (delayed)
The Nacao Zumbi groove is still going strong -- that great mix of fuzzy guitars and rumbling beats that combo first forged back in the 90s -- inflected here with a bit more warmth at times! There's still plenty of searing guitar on the harder tracks -- but others have a more intimately expressive q ...

Fats Navarro -- Fats Navarro Memorial Album . . . CD
Around December 23, 2009
Excellent work by this legendary bop trumpter -- cut not too long before his early death, and featuring a number of different groups with players like Sonny Stitt, Bud Powell, Kenny Clarke, Ernie Henry, and Tadd Dameron.

New Mastersounds -- Ten Years On . . . CD
Early November, 2009 (delayed)
Masterful instrumentals from New Mastersounds -- still nailing it after all these years -- from furiously funky uptempo gems, to more measured moddish numbers, to some spacier jazz funk! The group has been at this for long enough that each player's parts are perfectly intuitive with the others, but ...
New York City Band -- New York City Band . . . CD
Around September 1, 2009 (delayed)
New York City Band are less of a group on their own than a combo pulled together for this album -- an ersatz soundtrack to the film Sunnyside, a disco-era production starring John Travolta's younger brother Joey! The group's mostly directed and organized by keyboardist Harold Wheeler, who gives the ...
Herbie Nichols -- Herbie Nichols Trio (Japanese pressing) . . . CD
Around December 9, 2009
Some of the most exciting piano jazz ever recorded -- and one of the rare few albums released by the legendary Herbie Nichols. Nichols' heavy handed style is amazing throughout, and the record explodes with energy unheard of on other trio sessions from the time. Part of the credit probably goes to ...
Herbie Nichols -- Prophetic Herbie Nichols Vol 1 . . . CD
Around December 9, 2009
Killer piano jazz, and some of the greatest modernist work ever recorded by Blue Note! Herbie Nichols deserves every bit of the rare fame he ever got -- and it's only the paucity of his recordings that has kept him from achieving the status of Monk or Cecil Taylor as an avant garde forefather. Thi ...
Herbie Nichols -- Prophetic Herbie Nichols Vol 2 . . . CD
Around December 9, 2009
A fantastic reissue of this early Herbie Nichols album for Blue Note, and one that even reproduces the original modernist cover art -- which is a perfect complement to Herbie's modernist playing! The tracks are some of the best avant piano jazz ever recorded, and feature Nichols in a trio with Art ...

One of the noisiest "best of" collections you'll ever hear -- a 2CD package that brings together work from nearly 20 years of recordings by Nurse With Wound! NWW is the brainchild of Stephen Stapleton, and first came to prominence during the late 70s industrial years in the UK -- but the ...
