Big Maybelle —
Big Maybelle Sings ... LP 
Savoy, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ... $34.99
A great collection of Maybelle's big early hits for Savoy – all featuring backings directed by Ernie Wilkins, with a nice jazzy undercurrent. Maybelle's got a robust voice that was one of the first key attempts to bridge gospel, R&B, and jazz – and the album features 10 tracks that ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Earl Anderza —
Outa Sight ... LP Pacific Jazz, 1962. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A lost treasure from the glory days of the LA soul jazz bop scene of the early 60s! Alto player Earl Anderza has this crazy tone that's unlike anything we've ever heard – and he plays with a calculated approach to atonality that hints at later work by Ayler and others – but which comes ...

LaBelle —
Moon Shadow ... LP Warner, 1972. Very Good+ ... $28.99
One of the greatest albums ever by Labelle – known especially for the massive funky title cut, which has been an in-demand groover for years!

Roland Kirk with Jack McDuff —
Funk Underneath (aka Kirk's Work) ... LP Prestige, 1966. Very Good+ ... $28.99
A strange and tasty little album that Roland Kirk made with organist Jack McDuff in the early 60s – one of his few outings in such a format, and a smoking little session that almost makes us wish he'd cut more of them! The format is relatively simple – with lots of interplay between ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue label stereo pressing with Van Gelder stamp – nice and clean! Cover has a few small wrinkles in the laminate – but this is a very nice copy overall.)
Luis Gasca —
Born To Love You ... LP Fantasy, 1974. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
One of a few great 70s albums from Luis Gasca – a funky jazz player, but one who draws on a lot of Latin influences too – all in this sweet soulful mode that echoes some of the hippest Bay Area sounds of the time! Arrangements are done with help from Joe Gallardo – who also plays ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

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!

Carlos Nino & Farmer Dave Scher —
Espacio Especial ... CD Astrolage (Japan), 2017. Used ... $16.99

Great new collection of the fantastic magical work of the great Harper's Bizarre.

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!

Cannonball Adderley Quintet In Chicago ... CD EmArcy/Verve, 1959. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A great session from 1959 – one that features John Coltrane playing tenor in a combo that's billed as being led by altoist Cannonball Adderley – but which is really more of a Miles Davis combo, without Miles!

A stunner – and one of Clark Terry's finest moments ever!
