Tribe/P-Vine (Japan), 1970s/Early 80s.
A great presentation of work from the legendary Tribe Records of Detroit – all handled by DJ Muro, who's posed on the front in a way that recalls one of the label's rarest albums! The style here is different than other collections of Tribe Records material – as Muro goes for cuts that ... CD

Free Music & Najib Alhoush

Free Music – Part 1
Habibi Funk (Germany), Late 70s/Early 80s.
A stunning set of funky tracks from the Libyan scene – music that's not free in a "free jazz" sort of way, but which definitely shows a new sense of liberation in the way the group puts together their groove! The combo's headed by legendary arranger Najib Alhoush – and the ... CD
Janus/Octave (Japan), Early 70s.
Amazing early work from Cissy Houston – arguably her deepest set ever, and put together with a wonderful balance of New York class and southern soul modes! There's no denying that Houston's vocals are great – especially given her family pedigree – but she really gets a chance to ... CD

Mustafa Abdul Rahman

Polygamy
Fatimah/SeriE.WOC (Italy), 1984. (reissue)
Beautiful work from the Brooklyn scene of the early 80s – at a moment when it seemed like some of the more spiritual styles of the 70s had fallen out of mainstream favor, but were still being served up beautifully on obscure records like this! Mustafa Abdul Rahman isn't just a tenor player, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Redd Holt Unlimited

Other Side Of The Moon
Paula/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1975.
A legendary funky drums record from the 70s! Drummer Isaac Redd Holt is maybe best known as part of Young Holt Unlimited, and as part of the first Ramsey Lewis Trio before that – but he more than makes a name for himself on this album – really using his unbridled approach to the drums ... CD

Robert Rockwell III

Androids (180 gram pressing)
Celebration/Mad About Records (Portugal), Late 70s. (reissue)
A really cool record from reedman Robert Rockwell – one that features some great work from keyboardist Bobby Lyle too! Lyle was recording for bigger labels at the time, but his work here on electric piano really adds a lot to the long tracks on the record – a nice mix with the tenor, ... LP, Vinyl record album
Universal (Japan), 1996/2023. 2CDs
Tokyo Dreams from one of the coolest groups of the past few decades – a special set that has a Japanese-only live album at the core, plus lots of additional material in the 2CD set! CD one features 15 tracks from a wonderful Tokyo concert from 1996 – live Incognito, every bit as great ... CD
Remada/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1979. (reissue)
Pedrinho Sampaio is surrounded by keyboards on this late 70s gem from Brazil – and the record definitely makes it feel that way too – as Pedrinho handles a variety of different Yamaha organs and keyboards, plus some Roland strings as well! Yet there's also a nicely rounded group feel ... LP, Vinyl record album

Don Cherry & George Gruntz

Maghreb Cantata – Live 1969
WHP (Italy), 1969. 2LP
A fantastic live performance – one that not only lives up to the legacy of Don Cherry mixing together global elements in his music, but also echoing a brief point when pianist George Gruntz was interested in the rhythms of North Africa! The presentation is incredible – really stunning ... LP, Vinyl record album
Mr Bongo (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s.
A stunning tribute to the music of Jorge Ben – a host of classic covers from the 60s and 70s, all of which share Jorge's love for an upbeat, soulful groove! The set's exploding with life and energy – that new sort of groove that Ben first unleashed on Brazilian music in the 60s, which ... CD

Dwight Trible

Ancient Future
Gearbox (UK), 2023.
The "future" in the title is very well-put – as the album seems to open up a rich new chapter in the music of the legendary vocalist Dwight Trible – a singer who's carried on the spiritual legacy of the 70s well into the 21st Century, and who's always given us some fantastic ... CD

Reel People

Love 2
Reel People (UK), 2023.
The Reel People collective is back in action, and maybe sounding even better than on their first Love album – thanks to a sublime array of guest vocalists – including Eric Roberson, Raheem DeVaughn, Chante Cann, Paula, Michael Champion, and others! The vibe is great – uplifting ... CD
Wand/Octave (Japan), 1974.
The only full album ever cut by General Crook – a great soul talent from Chicago who's best known for his earlier funky 45s! This album's great, though, and it has Crook moving past the hard funk of earlier days – into a sweet mellow soul vein that's somewhere in the territory of Leroy ... CD

Waltel Branco

Meu Balanco
Mr Bongo (UK), 1975.
A crowning classic from maestro Waltel Branco – a Brazilian talent who could be smooth and sophisticated, but also pretty darn funky too – especially on this famous album from this 70s! The set takes off in a large ensemble vein of Brazilian grooves from a few years before – kind ... CD

Angel Bat Dawid

Requiem For Jazz
International Anthem, 2023.
An amazing piece of work from Angel Bat Dawid – music that's light years ahead from her recordings of just a few years back – and that's really saying a lot, given the strength of that material! The album features music from a large stage performance put together by Angel – ... CD

David Walters

Soul Tropical
Heavenly Sweetness (France), 2023.
A sublime blend of Caribbean roots and contemporary soul – and a set that's even more fantastic than the previous album from David Walters! Walters is one of those globe-trotting talents who manages to pick up all sorts of great inspirations along the way, then forge them into something that' ... CD
Nadja (Japan), 1971. 3CD
An incredible performance from one of the greatest saxophonists to ever grace the Japanese scene – a player with a sense of power, tone, and phrasing that rivals avant greats like Albert Ayler, Archie Shepp, or David Murray! Yet Karou Abe is also a player all unto himself – with a ... CD
Theresa/Pure Pleasure (UK), 1982. 2LP (reissue)
Wonderful live material from Pharoah Sanders – a key record in a time when the tenor genius was really coming back into his own in the 80s – finding a new level of soul and spiritualism after his early run of albums on Impulse Records! The group here are a well-matched array of players ... LP, Vinyl record album

Don Covay & The Jefferson Lemon Blues Band

Different Strokes For Different Folks
Janus/Octave (Japan), 1970.
A real lost chapter in the career of the great Don Covay – material done after his original funky soul on 60s Atlantic Records, and before his return to fame in the early 70s on Mercury – done in a raw vibe that has a lot more grit than you might expect! There's touches of psychedelic ... CD
Columbia (Japan), 2023.
A fantastic update of a classic portable turntable – one that's been a standard on the Japanese market for many years, but which is remade here with even better features! The unit has a red plastic body, with a surprisingly durable level of construction – and it's got a nice built-in ... Turntable
