It Takes A Whole Lot Of Human Feeling ... LP 
Groove Merchant, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A sweet and jazzy little session from Carmen McRae – an overlooked batch of groovy tunes recorded with small combo backing – with a hip vibe that's a bit different than some of her other 70s work! The sound's pretty soulful overall, and takes off nicely from Carmen's best moments on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)

Ms Jazz ... CD 
Groove Merchant/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1973. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Always-hip work from the great Carmen McRae – a singer who moved way past standard jazz during the second half of the 60s – to a point where she was really handling a great range of material by the start of the 70s! Carmen's voice was always great, but there's a really special quality ... read more CD
Groove Merchant, 1973/1974. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $4.99
This double-length set brings together two albums' worth of work that Carmen McRae recorded for the Groove Merchant label in the early 70s! The style here is strongly jazzy, but with a firm dose of soul too – all in a mode that follows nicely from Carmen's late 60s sessions for Atlantic ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

The style here is strongly jazzy, but with a firm dose of soul too – ... read more CD
(Original 2001 LRC pressing.)
Groove Merchant, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... $3.99
A 70s set from the great Dakota Staton – but done with a lean, jazzy vibe that really gets back to the spirit of some of her earlier recordings! The group's a small combo, with the great Norman Simmons on piano – always a great accompanist for a jazz singer, and working here with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a split top seam and ring wear.)
Groove Merchant/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1970s. New Copy ... $9.99 13.99
Great 70s live work from Sarah Vaughan – material that easily stands alongside her best for the Pablo label at the same time, but which is far more obscure overall! The notes on the CD aren't much – and obviously help enforce the obscurity of the sessions – but we can say that ... read more CD
