Yakhal Inkomo ... LP Mr Bongo (UK), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 29.99
A real treasure from the South African scene of the 60s – and the kind of record that we thought wasn't being made until the following decade! Tenorist Winston Mankunku Ngozi rivals the genius of Coltrane and Wayne Shorter here – both artists to whom he dedicates a key track on the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

William Parker —
Mayan Space Station ... CD Aum Fidelity, 2021. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99
This album's got a really fitting title – as the whole thing feels like it's ready to take off into the heavens, right from the very first note – driven on strongly by the drums of Gerald Cleaver, who's a perfect match for the bold basswork of William Parker – as the pair work ... read more CD

Jesup Wagon (with bonus download) ... LP Tao Forms, 2021. New Copy Gatefold ... $22.99 24.98
Maybe the strongest creative statement to date from tenorist James Brandon Lewis – an album of work inspired by the legacy of George Washington Carver – served up here with a sense of depth that's certain to open even more doors for Lewis in years to come!

Yabby You —
Conquering Lion ... LP Micron/Pressure Sounds (UK), 1976. New Copy 2LP ... $26.99 29.98
A roots reggae classic from the 70s – a much more obscure set than the giants of the generation by Bob Marley and Black Uhuru, but a set that's got a similar sort of righteous power – maybe even more so, given that Yabby You has the freedom of an indie label setting to get his message ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ian Carr with Nucleus —
Belladonna ... LP Vertigo/Mr Bongo (UK), 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $25.99 27.98
One of the heaviest electric sets from UK trumpeter Ian Carr – and that's really saying a lot, given how much heavy work he cut with his group Nucleus! The sound here is a groundbreaking mix of acoustic horns and keyboards – trumpet from Carr, and a mix of tenor, soprano, alto, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tim Maia —
Tim Maia (1977) ... LP Mr Bongo (UK), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 27.98
70s soul from Brazil – and a tremendously strong effort from the legendary Tim Maia! This record was Tim's first after an initial run on Polydor – and it shows Maia tightening up his groove even more, but still avoiding the slicker sounds of later years. There's a really focused sound ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Lebron Brothers —
Llegamos/Cotique/Get On Down, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 22.98
Soaring salsa from the mighty Lebron Brothers – a group who first burst on the Latin scene with a strong run of Latin Soul recordings, but who are taking a more straightforward approach here!

Sun Ra —
God Is More Than Love Can Ever Be ... CD Saturn/Cosmic Myth, 1979. New Copy ... $11.99 13.98
One of the rarest 70s albums in the Sun Ra catalog – and one of the most unique, too – given that the format here is a piano trio, of the style often used by other jazz musicians – but completely transformed here in the hands of Ra! The music is sometimes straight, but always ... read more CD

Arthur Verocai ... LP Mr Bongo (UK), 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $26.99 27.98
Sweet and jazzy pop from early 70s Brazil – a great little album that we'd rank with our favorites by Marcos Valle and Edu Lobo!

Marijata —
This Is Marijata ... LP Academy/Mr Bongo (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 27.99

Essential work from Pete Rock & CL Smooth – a set that may well even top their tremendous debut, even if it was a bit slept-on at the time!

Guy —
Groove Me – Very Best Of Guy ... CD MCA, Late 80s/Early 90s. Used ... $4.99
The best work by Guy – one of those soul groups that showed up on the scene just when we'd lost faith in soul groups, and breathed whole new life into the harmony format! The trio was a key part of Teddy Riley's new jack sound – but they had a deeper quality that's helped them last ... read more CD

Jazzmatazz Vol 2 – A New Reality ... CD Capitol, 1995. Used ... $6.99
Guru's second foray into the jazz/rap crossover world, with a huge amount of guest stars, and a little bit less of Guru. In parts, it actually seems to work better than the first one. Why?
