Loma Vista, 2020. New Copy ... $11.99 12.99
Easily the most powerful album cover and title to date from the mighty Robert Glasper – an artist who's evolved so much in recent years, he's shifted from the world of conventional jazz to the role of an elder statesman in funk, soul, and hip hop as well! This album's got all of those sides ... (Jazz, Neo Soul) read more CD
Groove Theory —
Groove Theory ... CD Epic, 1995. Used ... $2.99
The only album ever from Groove Theory – but the set that introduced the world to Amel Larrieux – whose vocal talents alone are worth the price of admission! The feel here is a bit more mainstream soul than some of Amel's later work – but given the mid 90s date of release, the ... read more CD

Melodies International, 2019. New Copy (pic cover)... $11.99 12.98
A sweet little groover from Hanna – a singer with a name that's short and sweet, which kind of matches her vocal approach too! "I Needed" is a tune with a wickedly compelling groove – sweet keyboard flows over fast bassy beats – and Hanna's lyrics pepper the tune more ...

Urbanicity, 2004. Used ... $2.99
A bold statement from this ambitious Chicago group – a righteous assemblage of musicians working in a tradition that's partly linked to the spiritual jazz of an earlier AACM era, but which is also keenly conscious of the underground soul of groups like Fertile Ground! At its core, there's a ... read more CD

Big Bucks, 2021. New Copy ... $23.99 24.99
Think what you want about Mayer Hawthorne, the man's got a way with a catchy sort of tune – and each new record seems to further that legacy, at a level that's always got us wondering why Mayer never seems to get more play in the mainstream! Mayer handles plenty of keyboards, drums, and bass ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Blue Note, 2020. New Copy ... $11.99
Derrick Hodge has given us some wonderful music over the years – and he just seems to be getting better and better with each new release – a bassist who can make his instrument sing more than most we've heard in recent years – and a player who's also wonderfully in tune with his ...

Move Next, 2016. Used ... $4.99
A stunner!

Incognito —
Positivity ... CD Talkin' Loud/Universal, 1993. Used ... $4.99
Wonderful work from Incognito – perhaps their greatest album ever! By the time of this 1993 release, this Brit funky soul combo was in perfect form – blending together classic modes of jazz funk into a tight modern blend that's lasted a lot longer than anyone might have thought at the ... read more CD
Brownswood/Rainbow Blonde, 2010. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $22.99 25.99
A brilliant second set from Jose James – and that's saying a lot, given that his debut was already a classic in our book! The sound here is a little more full, and a little more confident – a magical blend of James' raspy vocals with some jazz and funk-inflected rhythms – never ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Blue Note, 2013. Used ... $4.99
A great new chapter in the career of Jose James – and a record that really seems to take his already-amazing vocals to a whole new level!

Rainbow Blonde, 2020. New Copy ... $13.99 14.98
Really mindblowing work from Jose James – an artist we loved right from his very first record, but one who has us completely over the top with this record – a set that may well push James from the soul underground into firmly classic territory – the sort of space that will have ... read more CD
