Bohannon —
Stop & Go (with bonus tracks) ... CD Dakar/Solid (Japan), 1972. Used ... Out Of Stock
A killer bit of early funk from the great Hamilton Bohannon – and quite possibly his greatest album ever – a really unique approach to funky rhythms, with a sound that's unlike anything else we can think of! The album's got a slower funk sound than Bohannon's later disco groove a few ... read more CD
Milt Buckner —
New World Of Milt Buckner ... CD Bethlehem/Solid (Japan), 1962/1963. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the coolest albums ever from organist Milt Buckner – a set that not only features his own great work on Hammond, but also some excellent vibes from Gene Redd! This isn't the Redd that was a member of Kool & The Gang, but his pops – and Gene works with Buckner here on ... read more CD
(Sealed, 2013 pressing. Obi is included.)
Joe Farrell & Louis Hayes Quartet —
Vim & Vigor ... CD Timeless/Solid (Japan), 1983. Used ... Out Of Stock
Some of the best work that Louis Hayes and Joe Farrell cut during the 80s – a freewheeling and open session that's steep on soul, and filled with the best energy both players could muster! The group's a quartet, with Farrell on tenor, soprano, and flute, Hayes on drums, Rob Van Den Broeck on ... read more CD
(Out of print 2015 pressing.)
Dodo Greene —
Ain't What You Do (with bonus tracks) ... CD Time/Solid (Japan), 1959. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the rare few albums cut by vocalist Dodo Greene – best known for her obscure Blue Note session – and even that one's pretty darn rare! Dodo's a hell of a singer, and one that never fully got her due (although we can testify to seeing her years ago in a wonderful small club set ... read more CD
Also available Ain't What You Do ... CD 21.99(2017 Japanese pressing – includes obi.)
Louis Hayes/Timeless/Solid (Japan), 1976. Used ... Out Of Stock
A real gem from Woody Shaw's greatest period – a very hip sextet session, recorded with Hayes, Cook, Shaw, and a rhythm section that includes Ronnie Matthews on piano, Stafford James on bass, and Guilhermo Franco on percussion. Tracks are long, and stretch out in that searching, modal style ... read more CD
Teal Joy —
Ted Steele Presents Miss Teal Joy (with bonus tracks) ... CD Bethlehem/Solid (Japan), 1955. Used ... Out Of Stock
A great little album from this overlooked singer – an east coast vocalist from the 50s, working here on one of the few sessions she ever recorded! Teal's got an exotic look on the cover, but the presentation of the music is right up there in the best mainstream jazz modes of the time – ... read more CD
(2013 Japanese pressing – still sealed with obi!)
Helen Merrill —
Artistry Of Helen Merrill ... CD Mainstream/Solid (Japan), 1964. Used ... Out Of Stock
A really fantastic album from singer Helen Merrill – and quite an obscure one as well! The set was recorded after Helen's initial burst to fame on the Mercury label in the 50s – and has her taking on a more laidback, more open-minded approach here in a very hip setting that includes a ... read more CD
(Sealed 2017 Japanese pressing.)
Bethlehem/Solid (Japan), 1955. Used ... $18.99
A hell of a cooker from bassist Red Mitchell – a set that's got a sound that's way more mature and modern than you might guess from the image on the cover! Red's at the helm of a hip combo that also features sharp tenor from Zoot Sims and beautiful work on valve trombone from Bob Brookmeyer ... read more CD
Timeless/Ultra Vybe/Solid (Japan), 1999. Used ... $9.99
Enrico Pieranunzi and Bert Van Den Brink on piano. CD
(Out of print.)
Solid/Inner City (Japan), 1979. Used ... $18.99
The important first album by singer Judy Roberts – an excellent jazz talent with a sound that's up there with the best jazz fusion vocalists of the 70s! Judy comes at the end of a decade that scored big recordings for singers like Flora Purim and Urzula Dudziak – and she's easily as ... read more CD
Also available Judy Roberts Band ... LP 34.99(2018 Japanese pressing, includes obi.)
Solid/Inner City (Japan), 1981. Used ... $18.99
A sweet set of vocal tracks from Judy Roberts – a mix of original tunes and a few covers, all done with a warm fusiony style, and plenty of Brazilian touches! Judy's at the height of her powers here – partly jazzy, partly in a songstress mode that's inspired by the advances that female ... read more CD
(2018 Japanese pressing, includes obi.)
Masahiko Sato, Peter Warren, & Pierre Favre —
Trinity (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Enja/Solid (Japan), 1971. Used ... Out Of Stock
Japanese pianist Masahiko Sato is in a great trinity here – working with European players Peter Warren on bass and Pierre Favre on drums – on two side-long tracks that bristle with imagination! The music was recorded live at Studio 70 in Munich, and has the flow of some of the best ... read more CD
Bethlehem/Solid (Japan), 1957. Used ... $18.99
Jerri Winters gets some hip backings here – thanks to help from the Al Belletto Sextet, who almost share the star spotlight on the record as much as Jerri! The combo are perhaps best known for their 50s work on Capitol, but they sound equally great here – stepping out with a tight ... read more CD
(Out of print, includes obi.)
Pete Yellin —
It's The Right Thing ... CD Mainstream/Solid (Japan), 1973. Used ... Out Of Stock
Sweet 70s work from saxophonist Pete Yellin – a set that's almost as noteworthy for its electric piano lines by Hal Galper as it is for Yellin's solos on alto and flute! Galper's warm keys really help add a lot to the session – bringing in a slightly righteous tone, even when tunes are ... read more CD
Attila Zoller —
Overcome ... CD Enja/Solid (Japan), 1988. Used ... Out Of Stock
Beautiful live work from guitarist Attila Zoller – stretching out here on long, spacious tracks that are maybe even more majestic an example of his tone than some of his studio work of the time! The group is a quartet – with Kirk Lightsey on piano, Michael Formanek on bass, and Daniel ... read more CD
Various —
Beats & Breaks – Just A Mellow Groove ... CD Solid (Japan), 1970s. Used ... Out Of Stock
Lots of beats and breaks – and the groove is a lot less mellow than you'd guess from the title! Tracks are pulled from some of the coolest indie labels of the 70s – Brunswick, HDH, and Salsoul – and the focus is on tracks that have lots of heavy drums and sharp changes – of ... read more CD
