Paramount/Esoteric (UK), 1970. New Copy 4CD ... $36.99 51.99
A massive set of work from Affinity – a group who only gave the world one classic album, but have a heck of a lot more to offer too! The set begins with the self-titled album from Affinity – a British rock combo, but one with a distinctly jazzy feel – one that's often quite funky ... (Rock, Jazz) read more CD
Atlantic Bridge —
Atlantic Bridge (with bonus tracks) ... CD Dawn/Esoteric (UK), 1970. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A very cool quartet from the British jazz/rock years – but one who were a lot more jazz-based than some of their contemporaries! These guys are all instrumental, and although a number of their tunes are familiar rock standards from the late 60s, they don't play them like rock tunes at all ... read more CD
RCA/Esoteric (UK), 1971. New Copy 2CD ... $18.99 25.99
A landmark session that gathered together just about every hip British jazz and jazz/rock musician of the time – and brought them together into one super-cool orchestra of sound! Robert Fripp produced the record, and Keith Tippett is the overall music director – but the album's got a ... read more CD
Esoteric/OJC, Early 40s. Used ... $7.99
The roots of bebop! During the early 40s, sets held in Harlem nightclubs, especially the famous Minton's, were seminal to the development of bebop – and you'll hear exactly what we mean on this long overdue CD reissue. The set features material recorded by Jerry Newman at Minton's and ... read more CD

Hatfield & The North —
Hatfield & The North (with bonus tracks) ... CD Virgin/Esoteric (UK), 1974. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The seminal debut of Hatfield & The North – a group that maybe came a bit late in the UK prog scene of the early 70s, but who had a huge influence for decades to come! The quartet are a late transformation of the earlier Canterbury sound – leaner, maybe jazzier, and with a great ... (Rock, Jazz) read more CD
Steve Howe Trio —
New Frontier ... CD Esoteric/Cherry Red (UK), 2019. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A sweet small combo take on the prog sound of the legendary guitarist Steve Howe – almost as if he wanted to use the inspirations he got from his work in Yes, and winnow them down to the spirit of a cool jazzy trio! Steve's on guitar – awash in all sorts of chromatic hues and carefully ... (Rock, Jazz) read more CD
RSO/Esoteric (UK), 1976. New Copy ... $16.99 20.99
A really cool little record, but one that always gets a bit lost in the racks – partly because it's kind of in a strange, weird space of its own – although that's also very much it's appeal! The album is very much what's promised in the title – kind of a soundscape with an outer ... read more CD
Harvest/Esoteric (UK), 1970. New Copy ... $16.99 22.99
A lost jazz gem from guitarist Chris Spedding – a musician whose work was such a key component of many other important albums from the time, but who hardly ever made a record like this! The album's much more jazz than the rock you might normally expect from Spedding – strongly linked ... (Rock, Jazz) read more CD
Keith Tippett —
Dedicated To You, But You Weren't Listening ... CD Vertigo/Esoteric (UK), 1971. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Amazing sounds from British pianist Keith Tippett – a startling crossroads of musical scenes that beautifully brings together the best jazz, rock, and jazz rock impulses on the UK scene at the time – still with a freshness and clarity that the work would never reach a few years later! ... read more CD
Julie Tippetts —
Sunset Glow ... CD RCA/Esoteric (UK), 1975. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Really mind-expanding work from British singer Julie Tippetts – an artist who's come a long way from the straighter soul sounds she was doing with Brian Auger in the late 60s! The album shows the same evolution expressed by many of Julie's British jazz rock contemporaries – a ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more CD
