Crown (Japan), 2000. New Copy ... $22.99
Some of the darkest work we've heard from soprano sax legend Steve Lacy – at least in this part of his career – some fierce work in the company of pianist Takahashi Yuji and percussionist Togashi Masahiko – who also get some time of their own on the record! The album features two ... read more CD
Bridge Sessions (France), 2017. New Copy ... $6.99
A beautiful mix of jazz improvisation and spoken word passages – done at a level that almost takes us back to the most righteous experiments of the 70s!

Eden Ladin, 2018. New Copy ... $9.99
Beautiful sounds from pianist Eden Ladin – a record with a cartoony cover, but a much more serious vibe overall – although still with a sound that's equally bursting with color! Ladin wrote all the material here, and balances acoustic piano with a bit of keyboards – alongside ... read more CD

Columbia, 1955. Very Good ... $0.99
One of the greatest records ever from Frankie Laine – a strongly jazz-based session, and one that really makes incredible use of Laine's powerful voice!

Soft Focus ... LP Timeless/Muse, 1979. Near Mint- ... $7.99
An album led by guitarist Rick Laird, but a set that's probably equally noteworthy for the presence of tenorist Joe Henderson on a few tracks – who really shines here in an overlooked late 70s session!

Great work by a player we've always loved – but who rarely gets his due!

Impulse, 1966. Very Good ... $11.99
Not just a flute session from Yusef Lateef – as the set's a record with plenty of saxophone as well as the instrument named in the title!
