Chet Baker —
Four – Chet Baker In Tokyo ... LP 
Paddle Wheel/King (Japan), 1987. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A set recorded in Tokyo, but one that has the great Chet Baker working with players from the Dutch and American scenes – all coming together in a quartet session that's maybe one of the strongest records from Chet's later years! The material was recorded live – and Chet's got a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited Japanese pressing – beautiful vinyl, with obi!)
Paddle Wheel/King (Japan), 1987. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 49.99
Late work from Chet Baker, but great work too – and sounds that have Baker returning to an incredibly strong sense of force in the final year of his life! We love some of Chet's records from earlier in the decade, but many of those are a bit laidback – kind of a beautiful exploration ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Beautiful Japanese pressing – limited edition, with obi!)
King/Cinedelic (Italy), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $30.99 36.99
Nothing innocent about this record – because the groove is hard and heavy, wild and trippy – a really heady brew of funky jazz and more psychedelic influences – all recorded with some weird sounds in the background too! The album's a great one from Japanese groove pioneer Takeshi ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
King/Mr Bongo (UK), Late 60s. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $27.99 33.98
60s jazz meets Japanese bamboo flute – all in a session with a great mix of groovy and exotic touches! The record's a unique meeting of jazz and folkloric elements – done in a style that's a bit like some of the late 60s sessions of this nature on MPS, but a fair bit groovier overall ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Mystery Kindaichi Band —
Adventures Of Kindaichi Kosuke (Kindaichikosuke No Boken) ... LP King/We Want Sounds (France), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
There's a vampire with a flute on the cover – and that image alone is more than enough to make us drop the needle on this rare Japanese gem from the 70s! And fortunately, the sound of the music is equally cool – funky fusion with some nicely spacey currents – almost a Mizell ... (Japanese, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Hideo Shiraki —
Hideo Shiraki Plays Bossa Nova ... LP King/Jazz Room (UK), 1962. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Bossa jazz from 60s Japan – a set recorded right around the same time that Verve first started hitting bossa grooves in the US! The sound here is sharper than a Verve bossa album, though – with some of the same hardbop inflections you'd hear on other Hideo Shiraki albums from the time ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Hideo Shiraki Plays Bossa Nova ... CD 14.99
King/We Want Sounds (UK), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... $31.99 34.99
One of the greatest records ever from Japanese drummer Masahiko Togashi – a rare European session that features the talents of Don Cherry on trumpet and Charlie Haden on bass! The session's one of Cherry's most compelling performances from the time – a really loose and free date that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
King/Lawson (Japan), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $42.99 49.99
Great 70s work from Japanese pianist Masao Yagui – a set that's got some fusion elements, but which also holds onto some of his earlier modern energies as well! The lineup here is relatively large – with Yagui on piano and keyboards, plus Akira Miyazawa on tenor, Shigeo Suziki on alto, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
