Guitar, bass, and drums – coming together here on a set that lives up to the strong legacy of creative music we've come to expect from the legendary Dave Holland!

Timeless/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1992. New Copy ... $9.99
The legendary bassist Major Holley is on the cover here – but the group's an all-around really great affair – co-led by tenorist Joe Van Enkhuisen, and featuring work from Rein De Graaf on piano and Han Bennink on drums! We're not sure we've heard Joe before, and he's fantastic – ... read more CD

Blue Note, 1971. Used ... $9.99
A killer from Groove Holmes – one of his rarest albums ever, a one-off session recorded for Blue Note, with a group that includes a young Weldon Irvine! Weldon was a hip up-and-comer at the time – and he not only plays electric piano on the set, but contributes some of the album's best ... read more CD

Black & Blue/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1980. New Copy ... $18.99
A really cooking live set from Hammond hero Richard Groove Holmes – a record that follows strongly from his best 70s material on the Muse and Groove Merchant labels, but much more obscure overall! The tunes have that long, freewheeling vibe that always made Groove in a live setting so ... read more CD
(Part of the Black & Blue Real Jazz Classics series!)
Versatile/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... $11.99
Groove Holmes runs through a set of famous 70s film themes – or tunes associated with films – working here with larger backing arrangements from Mario Sprouse! The style is smooth, but still mighty nice – as the tunes are long, and there's lots of solo space for Groove (who plays ... read more CD
(Part of the "Versatile: Find Out Fusion" series!)
World Pacific, 1969. Very Good Gatefold ... $7.99
Groove Holmes and Gerald Wilson – a wonderful combination on this late 60s session – in a style that's everything great about mainstream LA jazz at the time!

Aketa's Disk/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1979. New Copy ... $14.99
An unusual vocal jazz session from the Japanese scene of the 70s – a record that's a bit different than some of the more staid readings of standards at the time, as singer Chiko Honda has a really nice bite to her style – and works with a small, rough-edged combo too! We might say ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more CD

Concord, 2019. New Copy ... $14.99 15.99

We're not easy ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more CD
RCA, 1966. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A sweet and mellow set from flutist Paul Horn – with a sad, sleepy, and wonderfully late nite feel! Ralph Carmichael arranged and conducted the set – and most of the tracks feature the Ralph Carmichael Singers in the background, singing in a really moody style that adds a nice edge to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label stereo pressing. Cover has a name in marker.)
Island, 1976. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $2.99
A great 70s set from Paul Horn – played in a style that's a lot straighter than most of his work from the decade! The style here almost recalls the Paul Horn of earlier jazz years – mellow and laidback, with a real sense of space and sound that's influenced clearly by bossa nova and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label pressing, includes the booklet. Cover has a cut corner.)
Columbia/Wounded Bird, 1974. New Copy ... $6.99 11.98
Nice fusiony jazz done with soul and airy atmophere by Paul Horn – including some choice covers, and sounds that range from fusiony jazz with a little bit of funk and more lilting numbers lifted by flute and wordless vocals!
