Whipped Cream & Other Delights ... LP A&M, 1965. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Trumpety magic from Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – a record that's known not only for its classic cover of a model dipped in whipped cream, but also for it's tremendously groovy groove!

Henry Mancini —
Mancini Touch ... LP RCA, 1959. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Delightful instrumentals – not as jazzy as Mancini's regular soundtrack work, but still pretty nice! The tracks are more in an easy instrumental vein – but given Hank's style, they're still pretty cool, especially as they feature work by west coast jazzmen like Shelly Manne, Victor ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Percy Faith —
Black Magic Woman ... LP Columbia, Early 70s. Very Good ... $1.99
One of the few fantastic records that Percy Faith cut in the 70s, and one with a groove that's very different than his earlier sleepier albums! There's a distinct Latin theme here, and the tracks have a deep rumbling electric bass sound, and lots of cool organ, underpinned by soaring banks of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jackie Gleason —
Riff Jazz ... LP Capitol, Mid 50s. Near Mint- ... $3.99
We're not exactly sure what "riff jazz" is, but we can definitely say that the album's one of Jackie Gleason's jazziest from the 50s – a really hard-hitting affair that gets past the sleepier arrangements of other records, and makes great use of breakout solo work from Jimmy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Cugat Cavalcade ... LP Columbia, Late 50s. Very Good ... $3.99
One of Cugie's more popular albums – and a record that has him re-recording older hits for the hi-fi generation. There's not that much hi and fi on the record, as the groove's pretty much in the older style – but the newer recordings were done in a stereo setting, which makes for a bit ...

Capitol, 1973. Near Mint- ... $2.99
Nice stuff from Pat Williams! Although known for mostly groovy 60s stuff (ala his legendary Verve and soundtrack work), this album features Williams hitting more of a 70s jazz funk groove, with a nice electric edge. The tracks are long, and the solos are played by Tom Scott and Marvin Stamm ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
GNP, 1960s. Very Good ... $4.99
Although there were plenty of easy and studio musicians who tried to cash in on the success of the Bond-era spy soundtracks, few did it as well as Billy Strange!

Wild! If you don't know them, Spanky & Our Gang were one of the stranger pop groups of the late 60s – and they had a style that mixed sweet vocal stylings with bubble gum pop with groovy arrangements with a vague sense of nostalgia. This tiny little pop masterpiece was produced and ... (Rock, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Columbia, Early 60s. Very Good ... $3.99
One of Tony's greatest full LPs, an extremely coherent effort that's tied together with a single theme – very unique for his career at the time!

Liberty, 1963. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A set that has the trombonist hitting a great big band take on bossa nova – one that's surprisingly great overall, with some rich jazz charts penned by Bob Florence, who really helps make the whole thing sparkle! Zetner's horn is often wrapped up in additional trombones – a frontline ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Warner, 1958. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Touted as a neo-big band group, clarinet-playing Gus Bivona leads this band on some swinging, uptempo numbers that, according to the jacket, were supposed to make you feel like dancing. The songs are mainly standards such as "Theme From Picnic," C Jam Blues," "Lemon Twist," ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Capitol, 1958. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A perfect title for this lovely little gem from George Shearing – a set that mixes his familiar piano, vibes, and guitar with some bigger brass arrangements – yet all in a way that still shimmers with the sheen of satin! Shearing was smooth before anyone else could lay claim to the ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Musicor, 1977. Very Good ... $4.99
This is the second of 2 albums that the Electric Moog Orchestra cut during the 70s designed to cash in on the fame of the big sci-fi soundtracks of the time.

Motown, 1972. Very Good ... $4.99
An overlooked moment of 70s genius from The Supremes – and from the great Jimmy Webb as well – given that the pop studio genius wrote, arranged, and produced the entire album!

Warner, Late 60s. Very Good ... $1.99
Bizarre is right – and incredibly hip too! This was the group's second album – and while it has a lot of similarities with the first, it's also a lot deeper of an expression of their strange blend of harmony vocals, sweet 60s pop, and the nostalgia for the early 20th century that was ...

Warner, 1975. Sealed ... $4.99
The last album to stem from the long collaboration of Rod McKuen and Anita Kerr – but quite possibly the best as well!

More groovy drag racing stuff, recorded as part of Riverside's Hot Rod series in the early 60's. The record contains highlights from the 1961 Sebring 12-hour endurance race. There doesn't seem to be that much happening in the way of tragedies or accidents, but the record's got lots of cool car ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Decca, 1962. Very Good ... $3.99
Overlooked genius from keyboardist Earl Grant – a player who could straddle so many styles at once, and who had a sly but subtle influence on jazz, soul, and instrumental pop in the 60s! This album's got all the echoes of Grant's style at its best – slight touches of exotica, a mix of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Not as all-out Latin as some of Eddie's other records – but a killer batch of tunes played in his firey style! Eddie's a monster on the piano – hitting the keys with intensely rhythmic lines, backed here by bass, drums, and percussion, and riffing in a style that's at once fast and ...

The first, and perhaps the most conventional album by Spanky & Our Gang – but still pretty darn insane! The group are a strange mix of 60s styles – with bits of We Five, bits of Harpers Bizarre, bits of The Association – but a totally strange and totally fun approach to pop ...

Somerset, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Rizo was one of many American Latin pianists who tried to cash in on the bossa craze in the early 60s – but like so many others, his style is much more steeped in Latin playing, with a much heavier sound than some of the Brazilian keyboardists who were the true geniuses of bossa.

A mod swinger from bandleader Si Zentner – a talent who's always ready to groove with the times – which in this case means that he's got a sweet 60s style that's mighty darn nice! Si's band is a big one, but they've got a lean Liberty Records feel here – really moving nicely over ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Uni, Late 60s. Sealed ... $4.99
Late 60s easy orchestrations from the George Wilson ensemble – arranged by Richard Rome, and kind of a blend of piano-styled numbers (ala Roger Williams) and more strictly orchestral ones.

Paramount, 1973. Near Mint- ... $4.99
One of his best records, and one that's a little bit hipper, and much less cheesy than his 60's albums. The set list includes Bacharach's "The World Is A Circle", plus a cool version of "Popcorn", and "Imagine", "Blue Bach", and "Ben". LP, Vinyl record album

Mercury, 1966. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Fantastic piano work from the very groovy Horst Jankowski – an artist who's really stepping into his own with this sweet mid 60s album!
