John Tchicai plays the music of Thelonious Monk, and a few of his own tunes too – in a wonderful set that shows beautifully why we always look out for work from this enigmatic saxophonist! There's definitely a Monkish vibe to the record, but Tchicai's approach is often quite personal too ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A great little record – of the type you could hardly make this well today! The Tea Company are an obscure psychedelic act, clearly concerned with all things "tea" (wink wink!) – and working in a free and open style that's a bit trippier than that of the usual psyche-pop ...

Seminal sides from the legendary Jack Teagarden – recorded during his prime years, with less of the broken-down feel of his later dates (not that we mind that, as it's one of the things that make those records so endearing!)

A beautiful collection of early important work from Jack Teagarden – and one of the best vinyl portrayals of his genius from these key years!

A beautiful portrait of the later Jack Teagarden – that musician who'd matured wonderfully with age, and really brought the best of that experience to bear on his records like this!

The Teen Queens were a hip R&B duo who deserve a lot more credit than their silly name might make you think. They had a style that was part raw R&B, and part 60s girl group, years before the girl group format was around long enough to become a cliche! (Soul) LP, Vinyl record album
