Offering ... LP 
International Anthem, 2022. New Copy Gatefold ... $23.99 25.99
Photay works here on a host of different instruments, and gets some key help from Carlos Nino on percussion – but in a set that's very much the leader's own!

Includes Misha Piatigorsky on piano, Boris Kozlov on bass and Ari Hoenig on drums. CD
Southport, 1987. Used ... $4.99
The title's a reference to the fact that the album's a long-overdue debut as a leader for pianist Willie Pickens – a player who was important in the Chicago scene for years, but had never made it into the studio until the late 80s. The set's an odd one – in that it features a fair ... read more CD

Free jazz, and lots lots more – a lost nugget from an especially creative period in the Dutch scene, headed up by cellist Tristan Honsinger!

Muse, 1992. Used ... $6.99
Soulful fusion work from bassist Lonnie Plaxico – but still with more than enough sharp edges to please our ears!

Name Brand Records, 2006. Used ... $4.99
One of the hippest recent records from Plunky – and a set that's got a much harder edge than some of the rest!

MPS (Germany), 1967. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $28.99
A really beautiful early album from the legendary Jean-Luc Ponty – a set that's maybe more straight jazz than some of his later work, and which also represents a pivotal shift in the use of the violin in jazz!
