No Room For Squares (180 gram pressing) ... LP Blue Note, 1963. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 28.99
No room for squares with grooves this great – a classic Hank Mobley session from the mid 60s, and one that really shows the growth in his style at the time!

From Left To Right ... LP MGM/Elemental, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
One of our favorite albums ever from Bill Evans – an amazing session of Fender Rhodes material that's quite different than most of his other work!

Bernard Purdie's first album as a leader for Prestige – cut right after he'd hipped up plenty of other sessions for the label with his famous funky drums!

San Francisco (180 gram pressing) ... LP Blue Note, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 28.99
Genius, pure genius!

But You Caint Use My Phone (purple vinyl pressing) ... LP Motown, 2016. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
A really great project from Erykah Badu – a set that's quite spare compared to the fuller sound and energy of her New Amerykah records – done in a bedroom studio in Dallas with producer Zach Witness!

Charles Mingus —
Charles Mingus Quintet plus Max Roach ... CD Debut/OJC, 1955. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of Charles Mingus' greatest albums from the early days – and a record that shows him making the shift into the groundbreaking style that would characterize his excellent work of the late 50s!

Spinners —
8 ... LP Atlantic, 1977. Very Good+ ... $3.99
Eight Atlantic albums, and The Spinners are still going strong – sounding really wonderful here, thanks to Philly backings from the great Thom Bell!

Jarrod Lawson —
Jarrod Lawson ... CD Dome, 2014. Used ... $19.99
A stunning debut from Jarrod Lawson – a singer we fell in love with right away – and who we'd rank right up there with some our favorite mellow soul artists of the 70s! Yes, the cover's got a look that's more indie rock – but Jarrod's got this righteous vibe and sense of flow ... (Neo Soul) read more CD

Stanley Turrentine —
Cherry (80s pressing) ... LP CTI, 1972. Very Good+ ... $14.99
One of the best CTI albums from the early 70s – and one of Stanley Turrentine's funkiest records as well! The album's got a sharper edge than most other Turrentine albums of the time – a quality that goes beyond Stan's already soulful approach to the tenor, and which brings in some ...

Santa Esmeralda —
Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (original cover) ... LP Philips (France), 1977. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A seminal bit of crossover disco from the mid 70s – and a record that broke big on its title reworking of The Animals' earlier hit! Leroy Gomez heads the group on vocals and alto sax – and brings a slight Latin flourish to the album – mixing strings with some brassier "Spanis ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

One of the great ones! No kidding, Jaki Byard was an amazing talent in the 60s – and records like this one are rare treasures to be sought-after by any serious jazz fan.
