Vertigo/We Are Busy Bodies, 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Soaring sounds from Nucleus – one of the few UK jazz/rock combos from the start of the 70s who really found a way to keep growing and changing as the years moved on!

As Shams/Soul Town (Netherlands), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 32.99
A landmark album in the history of South African jazz – a set that marks a real shift in the way the music was put together, and maybe a new sort of sophistication that would really mark the scene in years to come!

Posi tone, 2022. New Copy ... $11.99 15.99
Pianist Caili O'Doherty has a great sort of shimmer to her tone – a sense of swing that's familiar, but nicely personal as well – a bit hard to describe in words, but a charm that grabs you instantly from the very first note! Her look on the cover, and the somewhat dated title ... read more CD

The Blue Note debut of Latin Jazz pianist Arturo O'Farrill – and a set that may well be some of his most ambitious material to date!

Verve, 1962. Used ... $6.99
A great little meeting of two of the better talents on Verve Records in the early 60s – one that pairs the warm vocals of Anita O'Day with the cool vibes of Cal Tjader – in a sweet little session that's actually one of O'Day's best from the time! The feel here is lively, and slightly ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more CD

Chico O'Farrill —
Cuban Blues ... CD Verve, 1950s. Used 2 CDs ... Just Sold Out!
Fantastic! Chico O'Farrill did some great Latin work for Verve, Norgran, and Mercury over the years – but most of it was only released on 10" LPs, and has only been the province of collectors for a number of years. Now, though, this killer 2 CD set brings together a whopping 45 sides ... (Latin, Jazz) read more CD

Claus Ogerman & Michael Brecker —
Cityscape ... CD Warner/Mosaic, 1982. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A great showcase for the talents of a young Michael Brecker – rich orchestrations by Claus Ogerman, topped by Brecker's sharp-edged, and well-stated lines on tenor! The album predates Brecker's first record as a leader by a number of years, and it shows a serious side to his playing that's ... read more CD

Aragorn/Jazzman (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy ... $6.99 16.99
A beautiful lost relic, and a monster batch of long jazzy grooves!
