A landmark record – not only in the career of Grady Tate, but in the realm of adult vocals as well!

Nancy Wilson, Joe Henderson, Chick Corea, etc —
Echoes Of An Era 2 – The Concert ... LP Elektra, 1982. Near Mint- ... $3.99

Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 —
Ye-Me-Le ... LP A&M, 1969. Very Good+ ... $11.99
Way past the hits, and into some really great territory – a move that makes the record one of our favorite Sergio Mendes sets for A&M! The sweeter bossa pop style here is undercut with a bit more influence from late 60s Brazilian grooves – some of the more baroque turns that Sergio' ...

Cool Heat – Anita O'Day Sings Jimmy Guiffre Arrangements ... LP Verve, 1959. Near Mint- ... $14.99

1978 ... LP Rainbow Blonde, 2024. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $26.99 29.99

Carmen McRae —
I'm Coming Home Again (Japanese pressing) ... LP Trio (Japan), 1978. Near Mint- 2LP ... $18.99
A great smooth soul session from Carmen McRae – an album that's not nearly as well known as her American sides of the 70s, but which is possibly even better overall!
