The famous 50s team of JJ Johnson and Kai Winding are reunited strongly here – after working alone for several years on their own projects!

A cool quintet session from the great trombonists JJ Johnson and Kai Winding – one that really lets their twin horns soar free together – with only a bit of light backing to spur them on!

Amy Winehouse —
Back To Black ... LP Universal, 2006. New Copy ...
Just Sold Out!
An incredible album from Amy Winehouse – even way better than her fantastic debut!

A surprisingly great later set from Witch – one that still has some of their funky styles of a few years before, but which also seems to bring in some stronger African elements as well – in the kind of sweet fusion that was showing up in some of the hipper South African acts of the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Zambian funk legends Witch really knock it out of the park with this smoking little set – using really amazing basslines on most tracks, in a way that sets up a rumbling groove for all the other instruments to follow – a heady blend of psychedelic currents with more soulful styles, in a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Witch —
Movin' On ... LP Teal/Sharp Flat (Netherlands), 1980. New Copy (reissue)...

At times, the record ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Bill Withers —
'Bout Love ... LP Columbia, 1978. Near Mint- ...
Just Sold Out!
One of Wither's most underrated sets, a nice effort from the latter part of his Columbia career.

Hey Mrs Jones ... LP Reprise, 1961. Near Mint- ...
$14.9918.99

Produced by Chips Moman! Titles include "It Ain't Me", "More Than Love", "I Ain't Got To Love Nobody Else", "Make Love To You", and 'When The Weekend Comes". LP, Vinyl record album
Sweet electric funk from Womack and Womack – a set that's got the same sort of tight songwriting as their classic Love Wars set from the 80s, but a groove that's maybe even heavier on the beats and keyboards too!

Roy Wood —
Mustard ... LP United Artists, 1976. Near Mint- Gatefold ...
$19.9924.99

The set's got a vibe that's up-close, and more tightly produced than just a local live ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An excellent album of funky electric jazz – and possibly the best one that Phil Woods cut with his European group!

Collected Works ... LP Editions Hawara (France), Early 80s. New Copy ...
$23.9928.99
A really unusual Austrian project from vocalist Linda Sharrock – the singer best known for her work with avant guitarist Sonny Sharrock, but a hell of a vocalist here on her own!
