Impulse, 1966. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $13.99
Sweet Latin licks from Clark Terry and Chico O'Farrill – cut in a mode that's very similar to O'Farrill's best Verve work of the 60s! The vibe is kind of a mod take on Afro Cuban sounds – not really Latin soul, but with a playful vibe that mixes together jazz and Latin with equal parts ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Themes/Be With (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 39.99
That's a pretty dramatic image on the cover, and Brit maestro Alan Tew follows it up with just the right sort of tunes you might expect – many of which are thematic tracks titled "The Detectives", and which would be right at home in some kind of cool 70s cop/crime TV show! As with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Themes/Be With (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 39.99
That gun on the cover is a great hint at the action within – as UK sound library genius Alan Tew comes up with a whole host of hip cop/crime grooves for the set!

Very early work from Joe Tex – recorded way before his boogie records of the 70s, and even his country soul classics of the 60s!

The last album in Leon Thomas' classic run of albums for the Flying Dutchman label – and one of the most unique as well!

Dah Nah ... LP Union/Lawson (Japan), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... $43.99 49.99
The only album as a leader from this tremendous tenor saxophonist – a player with a very rich tone, and a deeply spiritual vibe – flowing out effortlessly here on a session that really makes us wish he'd given us more record! There's a strong modal sensibility to the record – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Nice Japanese pressing – with obi!)
Arista, 1980. Near Mint- ... $6.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cut corner, a small stain on one corner, a promo sticker, and ringwear.)
Alfa/Vampi Soul (Spain), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 33.99
A boogaloo album, but one that's a lot trippier than most – and definitely worthy of the psychedelic reference in the group's name! As with so much of the best work from the Venezuelan scene of the late 60s, the music here draws on references from up north, but really abstracts the sound ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic, 1972. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $34.99
Consciousness-stretching grooves from Tonto's Expanding Head Band – one of the earliest avant electronic rock records we can think of – and certainly one of coolest of the early 70s! Zero Time is way ahead of the curve when it comes to instrumental electronics – with a sort of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has a cutout notch, but is great!)
Dangerous/Jive, 1988. Near Mint- ... $19.99
The second album from Too Short, and like the first, a set that firmly established both the Cali scene and the Bay Area as a hotbed of harder-hitting hip hop! And sure, there were countless later gangsta acts that slide into the sorts of cliches that often marred the genre – but back at the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Recent blue vinyl reissue.)
Affinity (UK), Mid 50s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $2.99 6.99
Compiled from two live dates in 1956 and 1957 – accompanied by Howard McGhee on trumpet, Ralph Sharon on piano, Max Bennett on bass, and Stan Levey on drums in 1956; and with Don Fagerquist on trumpet, Marty Paich on piano, Larry Bunker on vibes and conga, Max Benett on bass, and Mel Lewis ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 80s pressing. Cover has light wear and a small corner bump.)
Bethlehem, 1957. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A great little live set from Mel Torme – and one that features the same jazzy style as his studio albums for the Bethlehem label from the 50s! The combo behind Mel is a smallish one – Marty Paich on piano and arrangements, Larry Bunker on vibes, Don Fagerquist on trumpet, Max Bennett ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 80s Cayre pressing. Cover has some ring and edge wear, yellowing from age, and small blemish spots in back.)
Atlantic, 1962. Very Good ... $7.99
One of the grooviest Mel Torme albums ever – a smoking little live set that has the Velvet Fog hitting a whole new soulful sound for the 60s – with a leaner groove than ever before! Backing is from the trio of pianist Jimmy Wisner – although Mel himself also plays a bit of piano ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo blue & green label pressing. Cover has wear on the lower corner, while the back has light staining, aging, and wear.)
Bethlehem, 1956. Sealed ... $2.99
A wonderful little album by Mel Torme – easily one of his best albums of the 50s, despite the tighter focus implied in the title! Although the set's a tribute to Fred Astaire. the album's got a very similar feel to Mel's classic album with Marty Paich's Dek-Tette for Bethlehem – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s French pressing.)
