Feeding Tube, 2019. New Copy ... $22.99
Guitarist Owen Maercks hadn't touched his instrument for 15 years before the start of these sessions – but right from the start, he's off and running with the sort of fuzzy frenzy that made his 70s self-titled album such a classic! According to the notes, Owen was spurred on to record by ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A real rising star on Schema Records – composer Alessandro Magnanini, best known for his hit with Mario Biondi – stepping out here in a beautiful album of his own original music! There's a fresh feel here that really opens up a new chapter at Schema – still a bit of their old ... (New Grooves, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Columbia, 1971. Used ... $3.99
A massive set of fusion from Mahavishnu Orchestra – a group that features some incredible guitar work from John McLaughlin, who sounds even more focused and driven here than on his own records!

Prestige, 1963. Very Good+ ... $34.99
Very hard to find LP by this obscure soul jazz piano giant from the early 60's. Best known as the accompanist for Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross, Mahones has a tight soulful style that's always in the pocket, and sounds like Bobby Timmons or John Wright in their best moments. This LP's unique in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono blue trident label pressing with Van Gelder stamp. Vinyl has some cosmetic press flaws, and plays with some faint surface noise towards the end of each side. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Argo/Baybridge (Japan), 1962. Near Mint- ... $14.99
An early album by vibist Mike Mainieri – who later went on to do a lot of trippier albums in the late 60s. This one's a very nice quartet side with a straight feel, and was recorded for Chess/Argo in the early 60s, at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in New Jersey. The record is a lively mix of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Very cool Japanese pressing – with obi! Cover images has a 70s photo of Mike, not the original 60s one.)
Solid State, 1969. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $19.99
An excellent lost album of funky vibes! Mike Mainieri's not always the greatest player in the world, but he really shines on this set – a solid electric groover that feels like some of the work that Dave Pike cut for MPS. Mainieri's vibes are at the core of the group, but there's also some ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Brownswood (UK), 2018. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99
A record with a soaring spirit from the contemporary London scene – a fantastic full-length statement from Maisha, a group we'd heard about over the years – but are only now getting a chance to enjoy! The group's led by drummer Jake Long, but features this really tremendous work on ... read more CD
