Chikara Ueda & Power Station

Flying Easy
Columbia/Lawson (Japan), 1980. (reissue)
A rare fusion treasure from the years when the Japanese jazz scene was really knocking it out of the park – picking up all the best influences from American jazz funk and R&B-tinged jazz, and turning them towards warmly produced records that are overflowing with soul! Keyboardist Chikar ... LP, Vinyl record album

Kyoto Jazz Massive

Message From A New Dawn
Village Again/Lawson (Japan), 2022. 2LP
The "new dawn" here is very well put – as the duo of Shuya Okino & Yoshihiro Okino are very much back in action as Kyoto Jazz Massive – working with all the soulful styles of their long legacy in music, but also drawing on some of the best jazzy currents of their other ... LP, Vinyl record album

George Kawaguchi & Hidehiko Matsumoto

George & Sleepy
Victor/Lawson (Japan), 1969. (reissue)
An incredible record from two of the biggest Japanese jazz talents of the 60s – and a set that may well be one of the best that either of them cut in the decade! Drummer George Kawaguchi's got an approach to the kit that's usually straight ahead, and full-on – but here, he diverges ... LP, Vinyl record album
Lee Mendelson Film Productions, 1975.
A really sweet 70s soundtrack from the great Vince Guaraldi – one that's very heavy on electric piano, and which also has some other keyboards as well – delivered with a nicely intimate group on most numbers, in ways that almost take Vince back to the trio years of his earliest jazz ... CD
DKR, Mid 1970s. 2LP
A rare set work from the glory days of King Tubby's studio – all handled by the young Prince Philip Smart, who was Tubby's first engineer in the legendary laboratory of Jamaican music! The tracks are definitely as dubby as promised in the title, but there's also plenty of standout vocals as ... LP, Vinyl record album

Nobuo Hara Sharps & Flats

Little Giant
Victor/Lawson (Japan), 1969. Gatefold (reissue)
A pivotal album from this hip Japanese jazz group – one that really sees them finding their own path forward, and working with really unusual material and stretching out on some longer tracks than before! The tunes here ere arranged by Masahiko Sato, Masao Yagi, Norio Maeda, and Kiyoshi ... LP, Vinyl record album
Numero, 1960s.
A Numero soundtrack for an imaginary film – one that provides a great way for the label to dig through the ever-expanding range of charming sounds in their catalog! The music here often features tunes that might not find their place in some of the other Numero sets, such as the Eccentric ... LP, Vinyl record album

Carl Allen

Tippin
Cellar Live, 2025.
The first album as a leader in many years from drummer Carl Allen – a player who's kept his talents tight working as a sideman for others, but who also really knocks it out of the park with this set – as the album's a killer trio date with Christian McBride on bass and Chris Potter on ... CD
Capitol/Sundazed, 1966. (reissue)
A fantastic set by one of the all-time great also-rans of the LA scene in the late 60s – a group who've got this fantastic blend of tuneful and sinister elements – psych mixed with all sorts of darker currents – and served up with a special quality that still makes this album a ... LP, Vinyl record album

Muriel Grossmann

Light Of The Mind
Dreamland (Australia), 2024.
A fantastic step forward for Muriel Grossmann – an artist who just keeps on expanding her talents at the same time she's expanding our minds! Murial delivers her familiar reed work here – on tenor, alto, and soprano sax – but she also brings deeper spiritual currents into play ... CD

Black Spade & The Cosmos

Overjoyed Through The Noise
Mello Music Group, 2024.
A deeply spiritual combo from the St Louis scene – one that was originally put together by Blvck Spvde, an artist who's roots were mostly in hip hop – but who here directs a larger ensemble who promise "the evolution of what you think jazz is"! The image on the front cover ... CD
Music From Memory (Netherlands), Mid 1990s. 2CDs
Ambient sounds, but informed by house music and techno – which makes for music that's very different than mellower ambient work of the decade before! By the end of the 80s, the term "ambient" had been painted a bit poorly by mainstream new age recordings – yet as the 90s ... CD

Soul Piece

Plane To Catch
April (Denmark), 2024.
A tight funky combo, and one who effortlessly mix older jazz and funk instrumental styles with just a touch of influence from Afro Funk – not in the full-on modes that you'd hear from other larger ensembles, but just in the way the rhythms work nicely with the two horns in the group! In ... CD
Compost (Germany), 2024.
A set with a lot of angular, rhythmic energy – maybe no surprise, as leader Peter Gall is a drummer – although those qualities also seem to be embraced strongly by the other members of the group – especially the pianist, Rainer Bohm – and saxophonist Wanja Slavin, who also ... LP, Vinyl record album
Reprise/Omnivore, 1972. (reissue)
Funky 70s Little Richard – very much in the spirit of his Rill Thing album, although a bit more polished! The album features production and arrangements from New Orleans soul legend Bumps Blackwell – who first handled Richard way back when – and the record's sort of divided half ... LP, Vinyl record album
WeJazz (Finland), 2024.
That's the legendary Mary Lou Williams hiding out on the front cover, and the title of this issue is a reference to one of her hippest records ever – one of a few that get strong reference in the long cover feature on the groundbreaking pianist! And the issue is overflowing with coverage of ... Magazine
Avco/Big Pink (South Korea), 1970.
A surprisingly strong set of soul-influenced, psych-delivered tunes from Liquid Smoke – a group we know little about, and who share a name with one of our least-favorite cooking ingredients! The album's got some great tunes from the 60s soul songbook, mixed with originals by the group – ... CD
Reprise/Omnivore, 1971. (reissue)
A much rootsier set than some of Little Richard's other work for Reprise Records – a record that almost goes back to the old days, but via the hipper styles of the early 70s! HB Barnum arranged and produced the set, but the groove is less funkier than some of Barnum's other work of the time ... LP, Vinyl record album
Timeless (Netherlands), 1985.
One of our favorite Woody Shaw albums from his later years – and an album that's got the same joyous spirit and free soaring feel of his best 70s work on Muse – really soaring with a sense of life and freedom in a really great way! The core group on the album is the Tone Jansa Quartet ... LP, Vinyl record album

Kashmere Stage Band

Out Of Gas But Still Burning
Kashmere Records/P-Vine (Japan), Early 1970s. (reissue)
A stunning batch of funky big band tracks from the Kashmere Stage Band – sounding a lot fuller than on their first LP – thanks to an expanded lineup that gives them a whole new sound! The group are grooving here in a mode that's a lot like classic 70s blacksploitation soundtrack work ... LP, Vinyl record album
