Yasuko Agawa —
Flyin' Over ... CD 
Victor/Beatball (Korea), 1978. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Hauntingly beautiful work from Yasuko Agawa – a set that has some echoes of older jazz and bossa at points, but also slides out in a smooth 70s soul mode too! As on her previous album, arrangements here are all by Susumu Arima – who also produced – and he's quite a maestro when ... (Japanese, Vocalists) read more CD
Yasuko Agawa —
Sunglow ... CD Victor/Beatball (Korea), 1981. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A classic groover from Yasuko Agawa – proof that the Japanese scene had an ear for soul in the years before Monday Michiru! The early 80s set is made up from equal parts jazz, soul, and Brazilian influences – all used nicely with tight, fusiony production that really works nicely with ...

Yasuko Agawa —
Sweet Menu ... CD Victor/Beatball (Korea), 1979. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Yasuko's on the menu, and she's as sweet as can be on this late 70s set – an album that's even more soul-based than some of her previous efforts! The grooves are nicely upbeat here – hitting a style that's certainly club, but which also has a bit of a funky fusion too – thanks to ... (Japanese, Vocalists) read more CD
Yasuko Agawa —
Yasuko Love Bird ... CD Victor/Beatball (Korea), 1977. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A wonderful early album from this hip Japanese singer – done in a mix of jazz and soul that reminds us a lot of Marlena Shaw! The overall style here is perhaps a bit more on the jazz side of the spectrum, but the arrangements and production are definitely influenced by American R&B of ... (Japanese, Vocalists) read more CD
Chaka Khan —
Classikhan – Featuring The London Symphony Orchestra (Japanese pressing – with bonus track) ... CD Victor (Japan), 2004. Used ... Out Of Stock
A silly title, but a surprisingly nice LP – one that takes Chaka back to the style she used on her classic Echoes Of An Era session – the 80s jazz side in which she recreated an older style of jazz vocal work! Chaka's working here with backings by the London Symphony Orchestra, but the ... (Soul, Vocalists) read more CD

Baystate/Victor (Japan), 1973. Used ... $24.99
A very unusual session for Carmen McRae – a live recording that features only her vocals and piano, on spare readings of a number of sophisticated songs that ably demonstrate the class and care she was bringing to her work at the time! The approach is quite different from some of the ... read more CD

Helen Merrill with Teddy Wilson —
Helen Sings, Teddy Swings ... LP Victor/Catalyst, 1970. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Helen sings, Teddy swings, and the album's a great little session from Merrill's key years recording in Japan! There's a simple, unadorned quality to the record that's really great – a mode that Helen wasn't even using back in her earlier years in the US, and which almost helps her recapture ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
