Timi Yuro —
Amazing Timi Yuro – The Mercury Years ... CD 
Mercury (UK), Mid 60s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Amazing is right – as Timi Yuro's one of the most soulful voices of the 60s, but a singer who's often overlooked because her work fell into a unique space between jazz and soul! The CD offers a much-needed look at Timi's mid-60s years on the Mercury label – a key point of maturity, and ... (Soul, Vocalists) read more CD

Marlena Shaw —
Spice Of Life ... CD Cadet, 1969. Used ... $7.99
An amazing batch of sophisticated soul tracks – and a favorite with the righteous groove scene! On the surface, the record's a combination of jazz and soul tracks in the same mode that you'd find on some of Nancy Wilson's albums for Capitol during the same time – but digging deeper, ...

It's Your World ... LP Arista, 1976. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
A standout set from Gil Scott-Heron – and that's saying a lot, given the strength of his other 70s work!

Esther Phillips —
Performance (Japanese pressing) ... CD Kudu/King (Japan), 1974. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Not a live album – as you might think from the title – but a tight batch of tunes that shows the full funk and soul talents of the legendary Esther Phillips!

Sarah Vaughan —
You're Mine You (with bonus tracks) ... CD Roulette, 1962. Used ... $1.99
Sarah Vaughan gets some great backings here from Quincy Jones – who brings a nice sort of punch to the record, and makes it one of her grooviest from the early 60s! The style's still somewhat traditional – not as much in moddish Jones modes from a few years later – but there's ... read more CD

Ernestine Anderson —
Big City ... CD Concord, 1983. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Ernestine Anderson at the height of her powers – caught during a very successful run at Concord Records, where she was easily one of the hippest things going down at the time! The group here is a trio, and very tight – Hank Jones on piano, Monty Budwig on bass, and Jeff Hamilton on ... read more CD

After Hours (Roulette) ... CD Roulette, 1961. Used ... $1.99

Who Is This Bitch, Anyway? ... CD Blue Note, 1975. Used ... $13.99
A great record from the mid 70s – one that has Marlena Shaw further developing her style as a sophisticated soul diva with a sharp modern edge!

Lou Rawls —
Black & Blue ... LP Capitol, 1962. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
Quite possibly the first truly great Lou Rawls album for Capitol – an all-out swinging jazz session done with arrangements by Onzy Matthews, in a mode that firmly helped put the Lou Rawls sound on the map!

Nina Simone —
At The Village Gate ... LP Colpix, 1961. Very Good ... $13.99
An album recorded relatively early in the career of singer Nina Simone – but a set that already shows the very unique approach that would make her a legend by the time the 60s moved on!

Etta Jones —
Don't Go To Strangers ... LP Prestige, 1960. Very Good ... $6.99
Could anyone ever utter a sexier line than "Don't go to strangers, come to me?" We think not, and it's material like that that makes the album a real killer from Etta Jones – one of her best from the 60s, cut when she was really developing her skills as a vocalist, but still had ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Peggy Lee —
Black Coffee With Peggy Lee ... LP Decca, 1953. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Wonderfully spare early jazz sides by Peggy, and the kind of material that's not easy to find amidst the bulk of her pop-oriented work. The album's a moving set of ballads and torchy numbers, recorded in small-combo fashion, in a style that's similar to some of Chris Connor's later Bethlehem work. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Carmen McRae —
By Special Request ... LP Decca, 1955. Very Good ... $9.99
A cool session for Decca that has Carmen McRae's vocals flowing out wonderfully amidst some very haunting backings!

Dakota Staton —
Time To Swing (with bonus tracks) ... CD Capitol/DRG, 1959. Used ... $18.99
It's time to swing, but with a classy sound throughout – very much the best mix of modes Dakota Staton brought to her key early years at Capitol Records! Backings are by Sid Feller, and are pretty darn jazzy throughout – more so than some of Sid's other work of the time – a ... read more CD
(Out of print, thin cutout notch through spine.)
Dakota Staton —
Dynamic! (with bonus tracks) ... CD Capitol, 1958. Used ... $3.99
The title certainly gets it right – as Dakota Staton is definitely dynamic on this one, but not in a way that's hokey or forced at all! Instead, the record nicely lifts Staton from some of the more laidback and bluesy modes of her other 50s records – into a fuller range of styles that ... read more CD
(2006 pressing.)
George Shearing Quintet/Capitol, 1957. Used ... $9.99
Wonderful late 50s jazz from the LA scene – not just because singer Dakota Staton is at the best of her youthful prime, but also because the Shearing group on the set is great too!
