No Business (Lithuania), 1995. New Copy ... $14.99
Kang Tae Hwan plays alto sax with a rawness that's usually reserved for the tenor – a fantastic sound that really comes through beautifully here in this solo set of improvisations! The material was recorded around the same time as Kang's brilliant (and few) recordings for the Japanese market ... read more CD

Water From An Ancient Well ... LP Ekapa/Blackhawk, 1986. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A real standout for Dollar Brand – and one of those few records that features him letting loose with a slightly larger jazz group – in this case a septet of American players that features some great horn work by Ricky Ford on tenor, Carlos Ward on alto, Charles Davis on baritone, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Capitol, 1970. Very Good ... $9.99
One of the greatest jazz rock albums to come out of the British scene at the end of the 60s – a record that's filled with tight changes, bluesy overtones, and some wonderfully choppy moments – all played by a legendary lineup that includes Terry Smith on guitar, John Healing on organ, ...

Ill Considered (UK), 2019. New Copy ... $18.99
This brilliant British collective never lets us down – and here, on their majestic fifth album, they seem to soar towards the heaven even more – with a righteous spirit that comes through from the very first note, and which never seems to let up at all as they spin out some long, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ill Considered (UK), 2019. New Copy ... $28.99
A Christmas record from this fierce London collective – but one that's hardly a Christmas record at all, given that the tunes are very much in the same space as non-Holiday sounds from Ill Considered! From the notes, the tunes all appear to be seasonal favorites – but they're taken so ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

African High Life ... LP Blue Note, 1963. Near Mint- ... $9.99
One of the most roosty albums on Blue Note – and a fairly straight session of African percussion tracks by Solomon Ilori and his Afro Drum Ensemble. Unlike similar albums by Art Blakey, this one lacks any strong sort of jazz component – and really just features fairly straight African ... (Global Grooves, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

King (Japan), Mid 70s. New Copy ... $16.99
Keyboardist Masaru Imada in a really great setting – working alongside a tight trombone lineup with a really bold sound! The style's still very much in the spirit of some of Imada's other 70s records – and he plays both acoustic piano and Fender Rhodes – yet the trombone work of ... read more CD

A huge collection of work from this Japanese bossa combo – one who've quietly been giving the world some great music for more than a decade, even if only a select few have fully been able to appreciate their grooves!

AFJ, 2017. Used ... $14.99
Fantastic sounds from this ultra-hip Detroit ensemble – a contemporary group, but one whose musical message takes us back to the sounds of older acts like Fertile Ground or Oneness Of Juju! As with both of those groups, the style here mixes jazz with a wider sense of message and purpose ... read more CD
