Sending My Love (with bonus track) ... LP Gondwana (UK), 2008. New Copy 2LP ... $26.99
A really incredible album – a set that's filled with far more soul and feeling than you might guess from the youthful image on the cover!

Lung/WRWTFWW (Switzerland), 1987. New Copy 2LP ... $34.99

Wacoal Art Center/WRWTFWW (Switzerland), 1993. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99
One of the more electric albums from Motohiko Hamase – a Japanese artist that we first knew for his jazz recordings, but who really has branched out by the time of this release!

Chico Hamilton —
Man From Two Worlds ... LP Impulse, Early 60s. Good Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!

Famous Door, 1978. Very Good+ ... $4.99
One of the earliest albums as a leader from tenorist Scott Hamilton – definitely the young talent promised in the title, but already one with a very traditional sense of tone and timing!

(Cover has an index label with clear tape on the spine.)
Idibib/Manufactured, 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99
Quite possibly the rarest album ever from this great percussionist – and one of the most intimate, too – given that the record only features Doug Hammond on drums, percussion, and piano – alongside flute from Karen Joseph!

Milestone/BGP (UK), 1975. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
One of our favorite albums of all time – and a record that just gets better and better the more we listen to it – and we've listened to it for years!

Athens Of The North (UK), 2018. New Copy ... $24.99
The team of Warren Hampshire and Greg Foat have already given us some amazing music on record – but this strangely-titled set may well be their crowning achievement so far!

Impulse, 1964. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $29.99
A warm and wonderful 60s session from Lionel Hampton – recorded in a personal and intimate way, one that even surpasses his great small combo sides of the 50s!

Sonet, 1978. Near Mint- ... $2.99
A well-done 70s meeting of these two older players – recorded in the warm and laidback context of the Sonet studios, with a group that seems especially well-matched for the talents of both players!
