Art Blakey —
In My Prime Vols 1 & 2 (180 gram pressing) ... LP Timeless/Tidal Waves, Late 70s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
You gotta love the confidence in Blakey's title for this one – because even in the late 70s, over 20 years since starting the Jazz Messengers, he was still very much in his prime! The album has him working with a wonderful group that includes Bobby Watson, Curtis Fuller, David Schnitter, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Great vinyl pressing – both vols 1 and 2 brought together in a single set!)
Timeless/Tidal Waves, 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 28.99
One of the greatest albums as a leader from tenorist George Coleman – an artist who we feel often never gave us enough with himself in the lead as well! George brings in that great edge he used on earlier sessions with other leaders, while still also really establishing himself as one of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited to 500 copies!)
Wenha/Tidal Waves, 1990. New Copy (reissue)... $13.99 26.99
A beautiful return to acoustic jazz for Wendell Harrison – after a string of more electrified albums in the 80s! Wendell's working here on tenor sax and clarinet – the latter of which he plays in these spiraling long lines that use the instrument in a searching, soprano sax-like manner ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited Edition of 500 – on white vinyl!)
Limetree/Tidal Waves, 1988. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 27.99
John Hicks works in some really wonderful company here – a trio with bassist Curtis Lundy and drummer Idris Muhammad – both of whom really add a lot to the date! We're always big fans of Lundy's sound on bass – and his approach here has the same warm-rolling quality you'd find in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Home Boy & The COL —
Home Boy & The COL (180 gram pressing) ... LP Alwest/Tidal Waves, Early 80s. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
That's underground funk legend Cecil Lyde on the cover – and the music here is very much in keeping with his 80s sense of style – plenty of sweet keyboards, beats, and basslines – all served up in catchy little tunes with plenty of electro elements around the edges! The whole ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
William Odell Hughes with Wendell Harrison —
Cruisin (180 gram pressing) ... LP Wenha/Tidal Waves, 1981. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A really fantastic soul record from the post-Motown underground in Detroit – and one that also has ties to the Tribe Records scene of the 70s! William Odell Hughes is a great soul singer, with an ability to stretch out on a long, sensual line – a quality that's a bit in the territory ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Cruisin (Japanese pressing) ... LP 19.99(Limited to 500 copies.)
Karin Jones —
Under The Influence Of Love (180 gram white vinyl pressing) ... LP Handshake/Tidal Waves, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A wonderful set of modern soul – and one of the few excellent albums on the Handshake label! Karin's a singer we know nothing about, but she's got a great approach for this boogie-styled set – one that's upfront and belting on the more uptempo numbers, but also wonderfully soulful on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Olive Branch/Tidal Waves, 1985. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 30.99
Great 80s work from guitarist Calvin Keys – material that's different than his earlier sides for the Black Jazz label – and which shows Calvin really changing up his sound for the following decade! There's a slightly more inside feel to the recording, but the set's still dripping with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Galt MacDermot & Angela Ortega —
Ghetto Suite ... LP Kilmarnock/Tidal Waves, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the coolest records ever issued on Galt MacDermot's legendary Kilmarnock label – a selection of songs and poems by Harlem school children, set to music by Galt, and sung by vocalist Angela Ortega! Given that Galt's handling the music, you can bet that there's plenty of nicely funky ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Thelonious Monk —
Palais Des Beaux-Arts 1963 (180 gram pressing) ... LP Tidal Waves, 1963. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The first-ever issue of this rare live set from the legendary Thelonious Monk Quartet of the 60s – the same group that cut some incredible albums for Columbia Records, sounding equally great here in a concert setting in Paris! The group features tremendous tenor work from Charlie Rouse ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Purple Image —
Purple Image (180 gram silver vinyl pressing) ... LP Map City/Tidal Waves, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A key album in the post-Hendrix tradition of funky black rock – and the only album ever recorded by Cleveland's Purple Image! The approach here follows nicely in the same territory worked by Funkadelic and Fugi in the early days – a heady, fuzzed-up blend of trippy guitars, heavy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Melvin Sparks —
I'm Funky Now (180 gram pressing) ... LP Westbound/Tidal Waves, 1976. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A never-issued album by funky guitar legend Melvin Sparks – recorded right after his final record for the Westbound label, and appearing here for the first time ever!

Stimela —
Fire, Passion, Ecstasy (180 gram pressing) ... LP Gallo/Tidal Waves, 1984. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A sweet 80s groover from the South African scene – a set that makes great use of drum machine rhythms and keyboards, but at a level that's nicely warmed up by the group's vocals! There's plenty of elements here that link up with that moment when electric African material was getting wider ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tele Music/Tidal Waves, 1983. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99 26.99
Seattle soul combo Teleclere have a mighty lean look on the cover – and the sound within is nice and lean too – served up from that moment when larger funk ensembles had been condensed into much smaller groups, thanks to all the right use of drum machines, keyboards, and electronics! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited edition of 500!)
