Ronald LangestraatLight Years Away ... LP
South Of North (Netherlands), 2022. New Copy ... $30.99 34.99
Ronald Langestraat has been in more jazz-based territory in the past, but here he adds in a bit more rhythm and opens up a groove – quite a surprise for this octogenarian musician!

Horizon/A&M, 1978. Near Mint- ... $6.99 9.99
A standout set from keyboardist Neil Larsen – a record that crossed over big back in the 70s, and which still sounds pretty darn great in the 21st Century!

A soulful late 60s outing for Brother Yusef – one of his first, and one of his best, albums for Atlantic!

New Jazz/Prestige, 1959. Near Mint- ... $34.99
Wonderful late 50s work by Yusef Lateef – played in that "jazz exotic" style he was using to perfect form at the time, a mixture of the lyrical hard bop of the Horace Silver group, with some of the more spare and eastern styles used by groups like the early Sun Ra Arkestra.
