Given that Chick Corea first got his start working in the New York Latin scene back in the 60s, the album's a bit of a return to his roots – even if the general theme here is Spanish, and not Afro-Cuban! The Corea Spanish Heart here is cast in some darker, more contemplative tones than more ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A great straight set from Chick Corea – one that has him playing acoustic piano throughout, and reclaiming some of the bolder jazz territory he first forged in the 60s! The tracks are long and soaring – very soulful in their construction, and played in a dynamic way that's surprisingly ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Dave Baby Cortez —
Tweetie Pie ... LP Roulette, Mid 60s. Very Good ...
$2.99
Not as funky as the albums he'd later cut in the early 70s, but still a lot of short groovy little organ tracks with the Baby Cortez feel to them.

Randy Crawford —
Rich & Poor ... LP Warner, 1989. Very Good+ ...
Just Sold Out!
Randy Crawford's really pushing her range nicely on this classic set from the late 80s – still very much in the jazzy soul mode that brought her big notice right from the start, but also working towards some warmer moments that helped the record cross over nicely too! Randy's range is always ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The massive first album from Creative Source – a really unique group who really helped push the ensemble vocal mode forward in the 70s!

One of the most insanely wonderful soundtracks from the late 60s – filled with weird instrumental touches and sublimely groovy vocals that really match the mad spirit of the film!

A double-length disco symphony – and a surprisingly good one at that! The set was put together by DJ Frankie Crocker – but we're guessing the real talent lies elsewhere, most likely in the talents of the session players – an all-star group that includes Billy Mitchell on piano, ...

The Crusaders are really going strong at this point – in near-hit status, almost acting as the Steely Dan of LA jazz.

The group were certainly doing something right – as this album has Joe Cuba's sextet at the top of their game, easily showing why they were one of the best groups on the New York scene of the 60s!

Classic 60s throwaway bubble gum pop to go with this soundtrack to the 60s Saturday morning cartoon Hot Wheels!

Cypress Hill's debut masterpiece – one of the biggest and best first albums in 90s hip hop!

Beautiful work from The Cyrkle – post-folk, partly-sunshine, and a treasure trove of really groovy tunes!

A later effort from James D-Train Williams, but still plenty darn great – and proof that his groove was still one of the strongest in 80s soul music!

One of the most enduring albums on the Prelude label, and a great bit of modern soul by James "D-Train" Williams.
