MFP (UK), Early 60s. Very Good ... $14.99
Striking early work from the great Martial Solal – maybe not as avant as some of his later material, but still pretty modern and distinct overall!

Spectator/SeriE.WOC (Italy), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $44.99
An incredibly soulful set of jazz from the Danish scene at the start of the 70s – and a record that's much more in keeping with the spiritual sounds of the American underground at the time!

Posi tone, 2019. New Copy ... $11.99 17.98
A record that definitely lives up to its promised title – as the whole thing brims over with excellent work from players you might know from other albums on the Posi-Tone label! The group name doesn't get at the heart of the sound, though – as there's a sharp, soulful focus to the ... read more CD
Intakt (Switzerland), 2018. New Copy ... $17.99 19.99

Black Saint (Italy), 1986. Used ... $14.99
A seminal album from the 80s New York scene – not only because it brought some long-overdue attention to Sonny Clark (whose records were mostly out of print at the time), but also because it reminded the world that John Zorn could blow hardbop!

Johnny's Disk/Studio Mule (Germany), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $33.99 35.98
An overlooked gem from this hip Japanese singer – a vocalist who's got a different take on jazzy modes than some of her contemporaries – with a raspy vibe that's maybe closer to the work of European vocalists like Karin Krog or Monica Zetterlund at their best! Mayumi Sonada has none of ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Luv N' Haight/Ubiquity, Early 70s. Used ... $13.99
