MPS, 1975. Very Good ... $3.99
One of George Duke's best albums for the MPS label – and a set that has a sound that's a little bit more soul than before! The album uses a fair bit of vocals alongside Duke's funky keyboards – but in a way that's not nearly as smooth as some of his albums for Epic, and which still ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Soulful Drums Of Joe Dukes ... LP Prestige, 1964. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Soulful and pounding! Joe Dukes is one of the greatest soul jazz drummers ever – the key to the unique sound that Jack McDuff had during his big rise to fame in the mid 60s, a combination of tightly funky rhythms underneath, with a freer approach to the top of the kit that worked perfectly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

One of the more African-styled albums recorded by bassist Johnny Dyani – recorded with a septet that includes extra percussion and steel drums, in a groove that recalls Dyani's best work with British jazz players of the early 70s!

GAD (Poland), 1979. New Copy ... $9.99
Dzamble may not be a household name, but they're a tight fusion group from late 70s Poland – and one who also seem to have an ear for the best side of the AOR scene too!

Great later work from bop modernist Jon Eardley – a set that features duets between his flugelhorn and the piano of Mick Pyne! LP, Vinyl record album
Columbia, 1980. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of Charles Earland's sweet albums from his years at Columbia Records – done in a mode that's much more R&B than his earliest work, but in a style that's still A-OK with us! The groove here is greatly helped out by arrangements from Tom Washington, Weldon Irvine, and Marcus Miller ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Columbia, 1980. Very Good+ ... $16.99
Two jazz funk monsters from Charles Earland's later years at Columbia, one with an unstoppably club-oriented groove and the more mellow, spaced out flip, both with great R&B vocals and none of his inimitable jazzy touch on the keys lost, either! 12-inch, Vinyl record
("Unofficial" white label pressing.)
Columbia, 1983. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A great little groover from keyboardist Charles Earland – and an album that definitely lives up to its title! There's plenty of street sounds going on here – lots of modern R&B modes that echo the changing styles of early 80s soul music, especially on the east coast! And as part ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Milestone, 1988. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A wonderfully grooving late 80s set from Earland, with a great cast of supporting players, though their names may not be as well known as some of the heavies on his other records, the group has a wonderful vibe throughout the side. Ignore the couple of tracks that this record (and all of his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mercury, 1976. Very Good ... $4.99
One of the most spiritual, soulful albums ever from the great Charles Earland – a set that's almost his answer to the keyboard styles of Lonnie Liston Smith in the 70s – and done with a very spiritual vibe! We love Earland on Hammond – but here he also plays Fender Rhodes, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Living Black ... LP Prestige, 1970. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A stone cold live date from Charles Earland – recorded in Newark, at just the sort of club where he got his start!

Muse, 1981. Near Mint- ... $24.99

Milestone, 1989. Near Mint- ... $3.99
A nice later set from the mighty burner, after he returned to the more bluesy organ based format from the more R&B and fusion inflected sets he'd released throughout the late 70s and early 80s. Though the rough edges are a bit more smoothed out on some of the numbers than we'd care for, the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Roulette, Early 60s. Very Good ... $6.99
An overlooked gem from trumpeter Harry Edison – small group material cut for Roulette Records, with a sound that's maybe a bit deeper than some of his earlier albums in the 50s!

Together Again! ... CD Contemporary/OJC, 1961. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Two of the best west coast boppers of the postwar years – back together again in a killer revival date cut by Contemporary Records! As the title implies, the set's got a backward-looking sort of feel – at least for the early 60s recording date – but from the perspective of our ... read more CD
