Paradeiro ... CD BMG (Brazil), 2001. Used ...
$4.99
New work by Arnaldo Antunes – one of Brazil's most captivating talents of the past 10 years, and an artist with a penchant for cross-cultural collaboration, in the mode of Lenine or Carlinhos Brown. The set was actually produced by Brown, and has all the angular madness of some of Antunes' ... (Brazil) read moreCD
Louis Armstrong hits the Flying Dutchman label – and unlocks a whole new spiritual side of his talents – a mode that's quite different than some of his crossover pop of the 60s!

A well-titled set from Art Blakey – considering the hard-driving sound of the group! The album's one of the best from that unusual year of 1957 – almost a "lost" year for Art, when he was working away from Blue Note with a very different lineup of the Jazz Messengers than on ...

One of Blakey's best non-Blue Note sides from the time – and a killer album that sports a late 50's lineup of the Jazz Messengers that included Jackie McLean, Johnny Griffin, and Bill Hardman.

A late 90s effort from this west coast singer, on the cusp of the NuSoul movement, and with a nice nod in that direction, betraying her jazzy pedigree.
