A classic 60s live album by Ella Fitzgerald – recorded over 2 nights at a French jazz festival in 1964, with backing by a group that includes Roy Eldridge and Tommy Flanagan. The set's got a solid jazz-based feel – and titles include "The Cricket Song", "How High The ... (Vocalists) read moreCD
A very lively, very swinging little set from Ella Fitzgerald – recorded in Germany, the site of more than one great live date from her over the years – and done in a freewheeling style that makes the record a real standout in her 60s catalog! Backing is only by a trio – Tommy ... (Vocalists) read moreCD
Ella Fitzgerald sings Broadway – but in a way that makes the tunes completely her own! Marty Paich turns in some great jazzy arrangements for the set – and the tunes are far more swinging than the usual showtunes you might expect – stripped of all their stage-bound drama, and ...

Ella swings it nicely with the orchestra of Frank DeVol on this set of standards and classics – an overlooked treat from her late 50s years – and a set that's overflowing with great little numbers!

Seminal pre-Verve work by Ella Fitzgerald – a variety of early singles from the late 40s and early 50s, collected together in one full album by Decca! Even at this point in her career, the Fitzgerald magic is firmly in place – sensitively taking on familiar lyrics on some tunes, ... (Vocalists) read moreCD
A later entry in Ella's Songbook series for Verve – but a great one too, thanks to some strong arrangements from Nelson Riddle! Riddle's working here at a level that he brought to his earlier sessions with Frank Sinatra – one that colors in the tunes with just the right amount of ... (Vocalists) read moreCD
Very cool, very groovy, and one of Ella Fitzgerald's hippest albums of the 60s! The set was recorded in San Francisco in the late 60s, but was issued by MPS in Germany as proof that the label always had an ear for bringing something different out of a mainstream artist. And although live, the ... (Vocalists) read moreCD

$5.99
Ella Fitzgerald in two different modes – "sweet" in a set of mellow ballads and love songs on side one, and "hot" in a batch of more upbeat tunes and jazzers on side two! The sweet numbers are somewhat string-heavy and soft – late night tunes that often have a bit ... (Vocalists) read moreCD

One of the great Pablo Records efforts to revisit the jazz sound of the 50s – but in fresh new ways allowed by the freer recording modes of the 70s! The album features Ella Fitgerald and Joe Pass, plus nobody else – just voice and guitar coming together in quiet, introspective ways ... (Vocalists) read moreCD
An amazing record from the team of Flack & Hathaway – one of the hippest duos in soul!

There's a definite Monkish bent to this one, in case you couldn't guess from the title – but Tommy Flanagan doesn't simply copy Monk's compositions, but also throws in a few great touches of his own!

2 albums' worth of material from the Master Trio of the early 80s – a group that featured Tommy Flanagan on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums – and which was recorded in a spirit that was very similar to the Great Jazz Trio and Super Trio – not surprising, as ...

The title's really evocative here, and so is the music – maybe the strongest solo moment we've heard from Floacist so far! The tunes have a sensual quality that grabs us right away – not cloying, commercial romantic modes – but a laidback, personal, positive vibe that's produced ... (Neo Soul) read moreCD
Flying Lotus wastes little time seizing the senses on Cosmogramma – bursting with thick, bubbling wave of electronics that float off just as quickly and make room for hypnic harp and buzzing eastern string sounds – and gets more adventurous and unrelenting from there! We've been on ... (New Grooves) read moreCD
A cerebral and sweetly soulful instrumental excursion from Flying Lotus – a headnodding journey that's as gratifying as anything we've heard from the Warp label in a long time! It's tough to get around a Prefuse comparison, especially given FL's masterful way of blending off kilter outeredge ... (New Grooves) read moreCD
A fresh EP from feverishly creative moodscape & beatcrafter Flying Lotus! FL has been on such a furious win stream in the late 00s, it's tough to keep up with him, but that's a good thing – pretty much everything he puts out is of such consistently forward progressing quality. If you're ... (New Grooves) read moreCD
Flying Lotus is not only very much alive on You're Dead! – he's as lively as ever – delivering his best, most diverse record to date!

Not the Philly soul group from the mid 70s, but rather the pairing of DJ Kent and KZA, peddling modern, soulful electronic grooves, with break inspired beats and tapestries of electronic tones bubbling over top.

Carol Fran may be a soul sensation, but she's stepping out here with a sound that's a lot more blues-based than the work we know from her 60s recordings on Roulette! That change is no surprise, though, because like many singers from her era, Carol's found sanctuary in the blues scene – which ... (Soul) read moreCD
A huge amount of work from a time when Connie Francis was really hitting it big – bridging the worlds of girl pop and female rock – and taking on a lot of other unusual material too! Done with the usual Bear Family panache – great presentation and full notes too. (Vocalists) CD
