Lonnie plays live with a tight group that includes tenor, guitar, and some very heavy drumming – really wailing at a level that was surprising for funky organists of the time, and which really set the pace for a whole new generation! The players are more obscure than on ... read more CD

Blue Note, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
A seminal album from Hammond giant Lonnie Smith – a bold statement that really gives the organist his own identity after some killer work in the combos of Lou Donaldson and George Benson! Lonnie's one of the key flag-fliers of the new style of funky organ jazz – a mode different from ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Blue Note (Japan), 1969. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A stone killer from organist Lonnie Smith – one of his completely cooking early albums for Blue Note, and a hard-burner all the way through!

Lonnie Smith —
When The Night Is Right ... LP Chiaroscuro, 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
Great later work from Lonnie Smith – a set that's quite different than his initial Hammond material for Blue Note – but equally excellent in its own sort of way! The album has Lonnie playing both Fender Rhodes and organ – the former with this sweet, tight groove that's mighty ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Steeplechase (Denmark), 1978. Near Mint- ... $6.99
A strong return to form for trumpeter Louis Smith – emerging here in the late 70s with a wonderfully fluid sound! Smith's trumpet and flugelhorn work are very much in the spirit of the recordings he and his soul jazz contemporaries made for Blue Note back in the late 50s and early 60s – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Blue Note, 1957. Used ... $8.99
A really hard-edged set from trumpeter Louis Smith – one of his only two albums as a leader from the early years, and a heck of a great little album, thanks to tenor work by Charlie Rouse! Rouse is blowing beautifully here in one of his classic pre-Monk appearances – recorded at a time ... read more CD

Tampa/VSOP, 1953. Used ... $18.99
Wonderful early work from pianist Paul Smith – an artist who recorded most famously for Capitol, but who's heard here in a rare session that originally appeared as a 10" LP on the Skylark label, and was later expanded to a full LP on Tampa! The sound is very spare and moody – very ... read more CD

Red Chrysanthemums – Live 1977 ... CD Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1977. New Copy ... $11.99
An unreleased set of solo performances from trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith – one that we'd rank right up there with his most adventurous work of the 70s! Smith comes across wonderfully on the record – full of soul and imagination, and easily as impressive on his solo instruments as ... read more CD
Mercury, Late 40s. Very Good ... $13.99
Incredible work from one of our favorite talents ever on the alto sax – a player who was almost to that instrument what Ben Webster was to the tenor! The collection features a number of laidback small group numbers that really show a strong focus on Willie Smith's amazing sound – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bethlehem, 1956. Very Good+ ... $19.99
A real lost gem on Bethlehem Records – and one of the few albums to feature this tremendous saxophonist in the lead! Frank Socolow was one of the great unsung reed players of the 50s – and although he lay hidden in some of the larger combos of the early part of the decade, he ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Soft Machine —
Six ... LP Columbia, 1973. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $29.99
A beautifully burning double-length set from Soft Machine – proof that the group were really at the height of their powers during the early 70s – magically blending together jazz, rock, and fusion into one soaringly spacey new sound! The work here is a key fore-runner of countless ... (Rock, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Victor (Japan), 2019. New Copy ... $34.99
The cover image is maybe a bit more cosmic than usual for this hip Japanese jazz group – and the sound within definitely follows suit, and maybe makes the album one of the most compelling we've heard from Soil & Pimp Sessions in years! We've loved these guys right from the start, and ... (New Grooves, Jazz) read more CD

Liberty, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $14.99
One of a few albums released in the US by the famous French pianist Martial Solal – a player who'd made a bit of a splash in the early 60s, when he was making a few appearances in America. This album presents a Solal that's more straightforward, more traditional than on later, more avant ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Capitol, 1963. Very Good ... $5.99
Early 60s issue of some of Solal's French recordings from the time – featuring a mixture of solo tracks and trio ones, played with help from Guy Pedersen on bass and Daniel Humair on drums. The work's not as out as some of Solal's later recordings, but it has a pronounced modernist air that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Favorite (France), 2018. New Copy ... $16.99
Great sounds from Andre Solomko – an artist who's been giving us some great 70s-styled music in recent years, and may well have topped himself with this fantastic set! Andre plays alto and soprano sax, in a setting that's got the warm glow of a sweet 70s fusion record – but this time ... (Deep Funk, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Fantastic instrumental fusion from Brazil – a killer set from the combo who came from Milton Nascimento's scene, and often backed him up in the early 70s!
