Allen Toussaint
Life, Love & Faith (180 gram pressing)Warner/Speakers Corner (Germany), 1972.
Excellent work from New Orleans soul legend Allen Toussaint – and a set that may well be his funkiest album ever! The set features 12 tracks from the early 70s – a time when Toussaint was mixing a bit of funk into the heavy soul mix that he'd had from his early days in the Crescent ... LP, Vinyl record album
Naughty Rhythm (Italy), Mid 70s.
A really cool collection – one that's way less disco than you might expect, and which instead focuses on tunes that often find a way to move Afro Funk inspiration into a more straightforwardly clubby style! The cuts are mostly from Africa and Europe in the mid 70s – and represent a ... LP, Vinyl record album
Fred Wesley & The Horny Horns
Blow For Me, A Toot For You (180 gram pressing)Atlantic/Speakers Corner (Germany), 1977. (reissue)
A fantastic blend of two funky styles – that of the James Brown group of the early 70s, and the always mighty P-Funk nation of the late 70s! After Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker came head to head with James Brown in the mid 70s, they broke off and formed the Horny Horns contingent – a ... LP, Vinyl record album

LP...$28.99
29.99
A great album from Cheche Mendoza and his Los Satelites combo – a group who first formed in the 60s, but who were really hitting their stride by the time of this record! The combo hail from Venezuela, and have a vibe that's nicely different than some of the New York and Puerto Rican groups ... LP, Vinyl record album
Nelson Y Sus Estrellas
La Salsa Y El Swing (180 gram white vinyl pressing)Discomoda, Late 60s. (reissue)
LP...$28.99
29.99
A really wonderful record from this cool combo from Venezuela – young, tight, and full of energy throughout on this late 60s set – almost as if they were taking cues from the New York scene, but also serving up some of their own groove too! There's still some older pachanga elements in ... LP, Vinyl record album
Naughty Rhythm (Italy), Mid 70s.
A cool collection of funky rock tracks from the 70s – most of them instrumental, and often with a touch of electronics or keyboards that make the music sound even better! Most tracks are from the pre-punk years, and almost have a funky glam sort of presentation – cool production that ... LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic/Speakers Corner (Germany), 1974. (reissue)
An incredibly righteous record from the legendary Andy Bey – an artist who's risen back to fame in recent years as a relatively straight jazz singer – but who was in some very heady territory here in the early 70s! Bey first rose to fame as part of the vocal trio, Andy & The Bey ... LP, Vinyl record album
Caetano Veloso
Meu CocoSony (Germany), 2022.
CD...$17.99
19.99
A really tremendous album from Caetano Veloso – one of the few artists from the 60s who just seems to continue to get better and better with age! And by that, we don't mean that this is an "aged" record – we mean that Veloso sounds as freshly creative as ever – ... CD
Discomoda, Late 60s/Early 70s.
LP...$28.99
29.99
A much-needed look at the mighty talents of Ray Perez – maybe not one of the biggest names in Latin leaders, but a hell of a talent when you know where to look! This set brings together the best of Ray's tracks from back in the day – a really well-chosen array of numbers that bristle ... LP, Vinyl record album

Keep the spirit of winter going well into the summer – thanks to this massive batch of winter-themed tracks from the postwar years – served up in a nice mix of modes, in a variety of different styles! The spirit's a bit like a Christmas collection, but with a sound that fits well in ... CD
Quincy Jones
Dollar ($) (green vinyl pressing)Warner, 1972. (reissue)
LP...$21.99
23.99
One of Quincy Jones' best soundtracks of the 70s – a massively funky record that's full of the kind of hip electric grooves you always look for on some of his other albums, but don't always find in such strong supply! The lineup here is great – wicked guitar lines from Arthur Adams and ... LP, Vinyl record album
Nelson Y Sus Estrellas
Historia Nelson Y Sus Estrellas (red vinyl pressing)Discomoda, Late 60s/1970s.
LP...$28.99
29.99
The group of Nelson Gonzalez recorded down in Venezuela, and didn't get as much exposure on the US scene as they should have – but this tasty little set of tracks is one that we'd put right up there next to some of the best from Fania or Tico at the time! The selection of cuts is wonderful ... LP, Vinyl record album
Rob Mazurek
All Distances InformRogue Art (France), 2022.
CD...$14.99
16.99
Really fantastic solo work from the great Rob Mazurek – an album that features only performances on piccolo trumpet, recorded with this echoey sort of majesty that just seems to further enhance the poetry in the tunes! Rob's an artist we've been happy to follow for many years – and he ... CD
Cheo Rosario
El Vive BienSalsa, Early 70s. (reissue)
LP...$26.99
29.99
A killer cooker on the small Salsa label from New York – part of the Mary Lou family of labels, all of whom really knew how to deliver up the goods back in the day! Like most of the label's records, there's a nicely varied vibe going on here – a lot less structured than some of the ... LP, Vinyl record album
Anteloper (Jaimie Branch & Jason Nazary)
KuduInternational Anthem, 2018.
You might know Jaimie Branch as a trumpeter, but as part of the Anteloper duo she also handles a fair bit of electronics – working alongside drummer Jason Nazary, who's also pretty handy with the synth as well! The album was recorded live, and features a great pairing of electronic and ... LP, Vinyl record album
Nico Gomez
Soul Of Samba (aka Bossa Nova)Trio/Mr Bongo (UK), 1972. (reissue)
LP...$24.99
28.99
A very cool Japanese version of this mighty groover from the great Nico Gomez! Nico's known for his harder pounding tracks that have become favorites with the funky crowd, but this stellar album shows that Nico could also work in jazzier territory when he wanted to – as the album's a ... LP, Vinyl record album
Ornette Coleman
Free Jazz (180 gram pressing)Atlantic/Speakers Corner (Germany), 1961. Gatefold (reissue)
The title gets it right – as the album's easily the closest thing to free jazz that Ornette Coleman ever recorded – an album-length improvisation played by a "double quartet" that's overflowing with classic players! The style here is a fair bit like John Coltrane's Ascension ... LP, Vinyl record album
Don Cherry
Where Is Brooklyn (180 gram pressing)Blue Note, 1966.
LP...$23.99
25.98
Easily one of the most powerful albums ever cut by Don Cherry – a searing set of tracks done for Blue Note in the late 60s – and featuring some tremendous tenor work by Pharoah Sanders! There's a tightness and level of energy here that surpasses even Cherry's other excellent Blue Note ... LP, Vinyl record album

CD...$13.99
14.99
One of the most beautiful settings we've heard for the music of Marshall Allen in years – and that's saying a lot, given that he heads up the Sun Ra Arkestra! Here, bassist Tyler Mitchell has put together a really special sort of group – one that mixes his own instrument with the drums ... CD
