One of the first moments of genius from a young Pharoah Sanders – a set that builds on the energy of John Coltrane's Love Supreme generation – but takes it in a much more expansive direction! The album's got a sense of majesty that's years ahead of its time – righteous, positive, ... read more CD

Pharoah Sanders — Village Of The Pharoahs ... LP

Impulse, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

An overlooked gem from Pharoah Sanders' years on Impulse – one that has him breaking the pattern a bit, but in a really great way!

Saracho — En Medio (180 gram pressing) ... LP

Impulse, 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock

One of the most unusual albums issued by Impulse Records in the early 70s – one that's partly funky jazz, partly Chicano soul – and very much in that nice mixing of modes that the label was cooking up in the years after John Coltrane's passing! Gary Saracho leads the group on acoustic ... (Latin, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Shirley Scott — Everybody Loves A Lover ... LP

Impulse, 1964. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

A simple formula, but one of Shirley's best records from the mid 60s, and a tight batch of quartet tracks that also features Stanley Turrentine on tenor. The title cut's a classic jazz stepper in Chicago, with a subtly loping groove that works pretty darn well. Other tracks include "Blue ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Shirley Scott — For Members Only ... LP

Impulse, 1964. Very Good Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

Groovin' set of tracks that has the lady organist in two settings – one with her trio with Jimmy Cobb on drums, the other with a hard swingin' big band led by Oliver Nelson.

Shirley Scott — Great Scott!! (Impulse) ... LP

Impulse, 1964. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

Shirley Scott — On A Clear Day ... LP

Impulse, 1966. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

One of the best Shirley Scott albums ever – a wonderfully groovy little set that seems to stand head and shoulders above some of her other trio dates of the 60s! Shirley really hits a nice clean groove here – a sense of tone we don't always hear this beautifully on earlier Prestige ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
