John Berberian EnsembleMusic Of The Middle East ... LP
Roulette/Life Goes On, Mid 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 28.99
Maybe one of the most authentic records ever cut by John Berberian – an American musician, but one who delivered great work on the oud during the 60s – including some projects that were often a bit psychedelic in nature! This set's a bit more straightforward, but equally great – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sun/Afrodelic (Italy), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 29.99
A set of sweet, lean grooves from the South African scene of the 70s – not disco at all, and instead a set of spare jazzy grooves with a very unique vibe!

Beam Junction, 1977. Near Mint- ... $19.99
The American debut of an African group who recorded most of their work in France during the 70s. This set's a French one, but has been spruced up a bit at Sigma Sound, where it received a US mix from Tom Moulton – ostensibly to give it a bit more of a dancefloor groove. The tracks have a ...

Blue Note, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $69.99
A completely righteous mix of jazz and African percussion – put together by drummer Art Blakey at a time when he was riding high with the Jazz Messengers, but also was willing to work on great experiments like this! The album's years ahead of its time – and arguably opens the door for ... (Jazz, Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album
