Mack Avenue, 2018. Near Mint- ... $19.99
Nobody's got a voice like Macy Gray – a hugely distinct singer who's always had her own way forward in music!

You're Living All Over Me ... LP SST, 1987. Near Mint- ... $16.99
One of the great late 80s efforts from Dinosaur Jr – probably the single best one, actually!

Bud Powell —
Bud Powell In Paris (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Reprise (Japan), 1964. Used ... $22.99
A surprising Bud Powell album for Reprise Records – and one of the label's hippest jazz titles ever! When Frank Sinatra first started up the Reprise imprint, he let Duke Ellington do a bit of A&R for the jazz division – and one of the first things Ellington did was capture the ... read more CD

Don Wilkerson —
Texas Twister (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Riverside (Japan), 1960. Used ... $24.99
One of the rarest albums by this great Texas tenor player – and the kind of album we're very happy to see reissued! This heavy little gem was one of the few sides that Wilkerson cut under his own name – and it was the only one recorded away from Blue Note, as part of Cannonball ... read more CD

Tubby Hayes —
Mexican Green (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Fontana (Japan), 1968. Used ... $33.99
A brilliant late album from British tenor giant Tubby Hayes – one of his last true studio sessions, and a free-thinking album by a quartet that included Mike Pyne on piano, Ron Matthewson on bass, and Tony Levin on drums. Hayes' tenor talents are as strong as ever – imaginative and ... read more CD

Chet Baker —
Chet Baker & Crew (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Pacific Jazz/EMI (Japan), 1956. Used ... $19.99
Killer work from the late 50's by Chet! Although Baker's trumpet playing in the early part of the decade became known as one of the trademark "cool" sounds of the west coast, he started to move towards a sound that was a lot more hardbop at the end of the decade – as you'll hear on ... read more CD

Art Blakey —
Night In Tunisia (Blue Note) (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Blue Note (Japan), 1961. Used ... $18.99
One of a number of Art Blakey albums titled after "Night In Tunisia" – and most likely the best! The tune is a perfect fit for the Blakey Jazz Messengers format – long, rhythmic, really stretching out, yet allowing plenty of space for the horn players to solo. Players ... read more CD

My Funny Valentine (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Sony (Japan), 1964. Used ... $11.99
One of those key cases where Miles Davis took a familiar song and made it his own! The set's a live one, and features a famous 15 minute version of "My Funny Valentine" – played by Davis in a spacious, open sort of way – and one that has key hints of the modernism to come in ... read more CD

London Experimental Jazz Quartet —
Invisible Roots (Japanese paper sleeve edition – with bonus track) ... CD Scratch/Shout (Japan), 1974. Used ... $24.99
That's London, Ontario – not London, England – which means that the group have an even more far-flung sound than you might expect! The album's a brilliant and overlooked gem from the Canadian scene of the 70s – really mindblowing music by a group who are equally great at grooving ... read more CD

Bill Black —
Down In The Depths (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Cellar Door/SSJ (Japan), 1950. Used ... $28.99
An amazing session recorded by Bill Black – a singer known best for his work with Gene Krupa in the 40s, but whose life took a sad turn in the 50s, and was barely heard from again! This album's a really unique session recorded by Bill in the early 50s – one that features very spare ... read more CD

Live at the Lighthouse (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Blue Note (Japan), 1972. Used 2CDs ... $38.99
Easily the most hard-hitting of Blue Note's 2LP Lighthouse Live series from the early 70s – and a record that really lets Elvin Jones and his group stretch out and play!

Eminem —
Slim Shady LP ... CD Aftermath/Interscope, 1999. Used ... $4.99
Eminem at an early, angry and vocally agile peak! At the, we probably preferred the raw production on earlier independent EP, but the vocals here were always stronger, with the perfect combination of ultra-violence and demented humor, and in retrospect, the bigger glossier sound makes the lyrics ... read more CD
(BMG Direct pressing.)
Delfonics —
Seventeen & In Love/Philly Groove, 1973. Near Mint- ... $6.99
One of our favorite Delfonics tunes ever! "Seventeen" is amazing – not just for the wicked harmonies, the cascading Philly groove, and sublime production – but also for the darkness of the lyrics! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Label has some wear at the edge.)
Angela Bofill —
Something About You (Japanese paper sleeve edition – with bonus tracks) ... CD Arista (Japan), 1981. Used ... $34.99
A soaring classic from Angie Bofil – a record that stands as one of the most perfect demonstrations of her upbeat, positive approach to soul! There's a stile here that seems to be a bit in the legacy of Minnie Riperton – especially the way that Narada Michael Waldon brings in some ... read more CD
