A great date with tenor sax from James Clay and Harold Land – plus sublime piano from Cedar Walton! Titles include "Deception", "Evidence", "Bridgework", "Old Folks", "The Theme", and "Plexus". (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, small sticker spot, and is bent a bit at the edges.)
Early genius from Eddie Higgins – a pianist who was a big thing on the Chicago scene of the 60s, but is probably best known to most folks for his revival records of the past decade or two! The younger Higgins has more of an edge than the later one – and this self-titled debut is a ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 80s Japanese stereo promo pressing – 22YB-2017 – with obi and insert. Cover has some aging and a promo sticker in back. Obi has a small tear and is bent at the side in front, with bent corners at the seam in back.)
A rare bit of Chicago jazz, cut back when Atlantic had a brief relationship with the Dunwich imprint, which was mostly a garage-rock operation. This one, though, is a prime bit of Cadet/Argo jazz – as Higgins plays piano with pop/jazz backings by Richard Evans, done very much in the style of ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Heavyweight ... LP United Artists, 1972. Very Good+ ...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
Quite possibly the best album ever from funky maestro Monk Higgins! The record's got some of his tighest work of the time – with plenty of tight breaks, nice keyboards, and soulful sax riffs – and Monk is going full-out on the arrangements, in the manner that he used for his best late ...

An excellent batch of soulful and funky instrumental tracks – super-dope 70s work from funky arranger Monk Higgins!

An 80s groove classic – and a killer bit of Captiol Records soul from High fashion!

Maybe the best album ever from this late 70s Motown group – a set that's got the girls really stepping out with a nice degree of power – in a groove that's different than the usual female disco mode of the time! The record's got a much more fully-formed sort of feel – not just a ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Sea Shanties ... LP Liberty/Esoteric (UK), 1969. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)...
$29.9938.99
A freaky, fuzzy set from High Tide – a record that some folks know for its groundbreaking use of electric violin, but one that's equally great as a heavy guitar-driven monster! These guys definitely turn things right up to 11, right from the start – and come on with a hard-wailing ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The long-overdue return of a southern soul legend – as the great Willie Hightower returns to the Muscle Shoals scene that gave him some of his best music of the 60s!

A great little bit of modern soul – smooth, with slight jazzy touches, almost in the mode of some of the club-oriented work by Roy Ayers or Norman Connors from the same time. The album features the excellent mellow groove classic "You'll Never Know", plus other cuts with a similar ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A wonderful session by Andrew Hill – recorded in 1968, but issued only briefly in 1981 – and out of print for years! The session is a key one in understanding Hill's work – as it's a bridge between the arch modernism of his early Blue Note sides, and the more soul-oriented ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Part of the excellent Blue Note Tone Poet series – heavy vinyl and cover!)
A rare and beautiful Andrew Hill session, and one of the classic Blue Note entries into the "jazz and voices" sound that the label pioneered with Donald Byrd and Eddie Gale.

An excellent album that features loads of material from Benny Hills' early days – when he was tighter and fresher, and before he worked too many years for ITV!

Lean and bubbling rhythms from Charlie Hill – a set of tracks recorded with a slightly different approach on each number, but which comes together nicely in a style that's very much Charlie's own! The record almost feels as if Hill went through other clubby modes of the early 21st Century, ... (New Grooves) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the best of ZZ's 70s albums – recorded with a really tight down-home feel, and a style that's maybe even a bit more straight southern soul than some of his albums on smaller labels! Arrangements are by Arthur Wright, and they've got lots of warm touches that really work perfectly with ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Produced by Tommy Couch, with tracks that include ZZ's classic "Down Home Blues" – plus "Givin It Up For Your Love", "Woman Don't Go Astray", "When It Rains It Pours", and "Love Me". (Soul) LP, Vinyl record album
Great stuff from ZZ! Although you always see vinyl of ZZ's later work, it's always pretty hard to find this great stuff from the old days – when ZZ was working in a style that mixed southern soul with some funky blues, and which stands along with some of the best deep soul of the late 60s. ...

An overlooked gem from the great ZZ Hill – a set that has the singer making a brief appearance on Columbia Records, and working with the mighty Bert DeCoteaux in the process!
