Yma Sumac —
Mambo! ... LP Capitol, 1954. Very Good ... $49.99
Quite possibly our favorite album ever by the enigmatic Yma Sumac – thanks to some lively arrangements by Billy May, who gives the set a swinging jazzy groove!

ECM, 1980. Near Mint- ... $19.99

Jazzman (UK), Early 70s. Near Mint- ... $8.99
Aretha Franklin gets funky – in these rare lost tracks from the Bill Swift Trio! The group were a southern supper club combo in the 70s, but they've got a totally cooking sound that's heavy on bass on the bottom – so much so that their take on "Chain Of Fools" is arguably ... (Soul, Vocalists) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
Movietone, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $6.99
An obscure album from Sylvia Syms – issued on the short-lived Movietone label at ABC, with backing by the combo of pianist Bernie Leighton!

Janus, 1974. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Grady Tate's most obscure album – and one that's got much more of a jazzy tip than his others!

Flying Dutchman, 1972. Very Good- Gatefold ... $9.99

Flying Dutchman, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $19.99

MGM, 1963. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A pretty hip album of jazz vocal numbers by Pat Thomas – made even hipper by arrangements from Claus Ogerman and Lalo Schifrin!

Cal Tjader & Carmen McRae —
Heat Wave ... CD Concord, 1982. Used ... $7.99
In our opinion, Carmen always sounds best when she's singing with a small jazz combo backing her up – which is why we dig this tasty set from the early 80s, recorded with a great group led by Cal! The album's got some nice Latin touches – thanks to piano by Mark Levin, and conga work ... (Jazz, Vocalists) read more CD

Fantasy/OJC, 1961. Used ... $11.99
One of the few albums ever that has vibist Cal Tjader working with a vocalist – and not a bad idea, either, considering that Cal's cool style always seems to provide a compelling backdrop for a singer!

Verve, 1961. Very Good+ ... $11.99
One of Mel's best albums of jazz vocals!

Capitol, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $6.99
Very groovy! This is an excellent album of swinging tunes that Mel cut for Capitol – very much in the Now Sound vein of his Right Now album for Columbia, and like that one, a mix of late 60s pop tunes and more obscure numbers, all done in a punchy "in the lounge with" mode. Titles ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

One of our favorite recordings ever of George Gershwin's Porgy & Bess – done by Bethlehem Records in the mid 50s, and featuring nearly every one of the label's great talents at the time!

(Out of print and still sealed.)
Liberty, Mid 50s. Very Good ... $16.99
The straighter side of Bobby Troup – a set that has the singer working through a batch of tunes that are mostly standards, instead of his usual compositions – but still doing equally well in the process!
