One of the best vocal jazz albums that Prestige ever released, and a nice batch of soulful titles by this former Ellington vocalist.

Elektra/Wounded Bird, 1982. Used ... $2.99
Really beautiful work from the team of Red Rodney and Ira Sullivan – hardly the sort of stuff we might have heard from the players a decade or two before – and a sophisticated batch of tunes that has them stretching out in rich musical directions! There's little of the boppish roots of ... read more CD
Mack Avenue, 2019. New Copy ... $15.99 17.99
A record that's recorded by a duo, but one that's got a much fuller sound than you might expect – thanks to the magic of overdub, and to some great production help from Quincy Jones! Alfredo Rodriguez plays piano, Fender Rhodes, and keyboards – Pedro Martinez plays percussion – ... read more CD
Jazz Men/Jazz Detective (UK), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99
A fantastic album of soulful jazz – and one that's got a lot more staying power than the macrame craze of the 70s!

Extra Lovely, 2019. New Copy ... $19.99 20.00
A really beautiful record by young Chilean pianist Enrique Rodriguez – a set that's got little more going on than piano and keyboards, but which really makes the most of those elements!

Amigo E Pra Essas Coisas (Brazil), 1982. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Sweet album of Brazilian fusion from the early 80s, with the good mix of Brazilian rhythms and warm reed and piano solo styles that so many groups were playing with at the time.

No Business (Lithuania), 2016. New Copy ... $8.99
A great large group recording from bassist Jason Roebke – and maybe one of his best records so far!

Focus, 1981. Near Mint- ... $2.99
A very cool, very unusual album from the hip singer Bobbi Rogers – a vocalist we might put in the company of Blossom Dearie!
