Paesaggi (original 1971 cover)Liuto/Four Flies (Italy), 1971. (reissue)
One of the most seductive sound library albums ever recorded by Piero Umiliani – a set that was originally issued under his Zalla pseudonym, but which has all the best jazzy grooves of some of his famous soundtrack material from the end of the 60s! As on those records, Umiliani plays a host ... LP, Vinyl record album (Sound Library LP)

Great work from the Ohio Players – and proof that moving to a big label could be a good thing for a funky group!

Jacques Charlier
Art In Another WayMorning Trip (Netherlands), Mid 80s. 2LP
Very cool work from Belgian artist Jacques Charlier – music that almost brings a cold wave style into play with some more familiar French song styles – but with this dark edge that almost feels like work on Factory Records or Disques Du Crepuscule! A good deal of these tracks are ... LP, Vinyl record album (Rock LP)

CD...$12.99
13.99
A record that's as striking as its cover – a set from a Belgian duo, but one who take on important issues on the global scene – delivered mostly in English, which gives the record a really universal sense of appeal! Their style is quite unique – almost an older mix of beats, ... CD (Neo Soul CD)
Jasmine (UK), Late 40s.
CD...$15.99
16.99
Wonderful work from Walter Brown – a bluesy singer who first rose to prominence in the early 40s band of Jay McShann (alongside a young Charlie Parker) – but who recorded these great cuts in the postwar years! The style is a nice fusion of earlier jazz modes and some of the leaner ... CD (Vocalists CD)
Abiodun Oyewole
GratitudeFire, 2022.
Fantastic work from Abiodun Oyewole – best known as one of the founding members of the legendary Last Poets – but a singer who works here with a contemporary crispness that goes way beyond his roots! The message in Abiodun's older recordings is still alive and well here – in part ... CD (Soul CD)

15.99
Graham Parker's left The Rumour behind for this early 80s set – but it's clear that he's also still every bit the strong songwriter as he was in his days with that group! The album's a post-punk singer/songwriter set that's very much in the best tone of the era – some of the bite of ... CD (Rock CD)
Spirale
SpiraleDialogo (Italy), 1974.
A hell of a record from the Italian scene of the 70s – a heavy set of electric jazz with a soaring, righteous sort of vibe – served up by a quintet who somehow manage to work as if they've got the spirit of a much larger ensemble! We don't know any of the players at all from other ... CD (Jazz CD)
Dawan Muhammad
Deep StreamEvidence/High Jazz (Switzerland), 1979. (reissue)
A really amazing record from Dawan Muhammad – a west coast musician who never got the same sort of spiritual jazz credit as some of the giants of the 70s – but who kept on making really wonderful music as the years went on!

Chet Baker
Chet On PoetryNovus/Mono Jazz (Italy), 1988. Gatefold (reissue)

An obscure set from the glory days of the Krautrock scene, but a set that's maybe a lot more hard rock than some of its more proggy German contemporaries!

Azar Lawrence
Shadow Dancing (180 gram pressing)Riza/Tidal Waves, 1985. (reissue)
LP...$23.99
26.99
An obscure set from Azar Lawrence – self-produced and self-arranged, in a smooth modern soul mode that's kind of an 80s extension of his work in the 70s for Prestige. There's a definite R&B groove on most tracks, and vocalist Coco Evans sings on 2 of the album's 8 tracks – and an ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Blue Lab Beats
Motherland JourneyBlue Note, 2022.
The first full length set from London duo Blue Lab Beats – a pair who are very well-placed on Blue Note Records, but more as ambassadors of some of the more soul-styled work the label has done in recent years!

Preachers
Stay Out Of My World (with bonus tracks)Sundazed/Beat Rocket, Mid 60s.
The Preachers may be wearing priest-style collars on the cover, but the group have a sinister sound that's quite far from anything you'll hear in church – a sinister South Cali blend of guitar, organ, and just a bit of fuzz – very much like some of the best styles coming out of the ... CD (Rock CD)

A mysterious bit of group soul from the 70s scene – a record that's full of original material, and delivered in a style that's very much like the best New Jersey and Philly indie sides from the start of the decade!

A sweet SoCal groover from Cecil Lyde – recorded in LA in the early 80s, with a great mix of funky club and mellow soul modes!

A gorgeous bit of bossa jazz from Italy – and a key non-soundtrack album from the great Alessandro Alessandroni!

TSG/P-Vine (Japan), Mid 70s.
A rare gem of a record that's every bit as much a funk party as the disco celebration promised in the title – done with this lean, stripped-down vibe that often hits some of the same fast funk territory as late 70s gems from the P&P family of record labels! There's a nicely offbeat vibe ... CD (Soul CD)

Little Bits
Girl Give Me Love (with bonus track)Beat Rocket, 1967.
The Little Bits are little kids, but don't hold that against them – as there's an intensity to this record that feels much more like some Texas psych of the time, and which hardly fits the sweeter image of the group on the cover!
