Nat Adderley —
Calling Out Loud ... LP 
CTI/A&M, 1968. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A pretty great little album from Nat – recorded with arrangements by Bill Fischer, who gives the record a tightly compressed big band sound that's perfect for Nat's sharp funky horn! The album's not exactly "funk", but there's plenty of it in the mix – as lead horn grooves ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Nat Adderley —
You Baby ... LP CTI/A&M, 1968. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A really great record from this hip horn player – a set on which Nat Adderley demonstrates that he can be as funky as brother Cannonball, in a nice set of short groovers recorded for CTI from the late 60s! The record is one of Nat's few funky ones, and he's got some nice backing by Joe ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Airto —
Fingers ... LP CTI, 1973. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
One of Airto's greatest records ever – a really hard hitting batch of tracks that mix sharp-edged fusion lines with some earthier Brazilian percussion touches – all in a way that nicely steps off of Airto's first few American releases, and warms the groove up with a nice dose of ...

Airto —
Free ... LP CTI, 1972. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the coolest, grooviest albums you'll ever hear from the legendary percussionist Airto – a set that mixes his own Brazilian roots with the electric genius of 70s CTI – all with stunning results!

Patti Austin —
Havana Candy ... LP CTI, 1977. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Havana Candy, indeed – as singer Patti Austin's in her sweetest mode of the 70s – stepping off of years of background vocals for others, and really emerging as a great soul star on her own!

Chet Baker —
She Was Too Good To Me ... LP CTI, 1974. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A great return to form for Chet Baker – his first record in a number of years away from the studio, and proof that his genius could adapt to just about any setting! The album's got a tight focus that's probably one of the keys to its success – a set of arrangements by Don Sebesky that ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original stereo pressing with Van Gelder stamp.)
Chet Baker/CTI, 1982. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A great later date from CTI – proof that the label still had its magic going on well into the 80s! The session's a larger group effort headed up by Don Sebesky, and featuring key solos by Chet Baker, Jim Hall, and Hubert Laws – all of whom get plenty of room to do their thing on the ...

La Cuna ... LP CTI, 1981. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A nice jammer from the "second wind" period of CTI – and a strong return to Latin jazz for Ray!

George Benson —
Bad Benson ... LP CTI, 1974. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Pretty mellow stuff from George Benson, but with some nice moments!

George Benson —
Beyond The Blue Horizon ... LP CTI, 1970. Very Good Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A great early CTI session by George Benson, and one of the most stripped-down, straight-ahead funky records he did for the label!

George Benson —
Body Talk ... LP CTI, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!

George Benson In Concert – Carnegie Hall ... LP CTI, 1976. Very Good Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Sweet CTI grooving from George Benson – one of his hardest-hitting albums of the time!

Pacific Fire ... LP CTI, 1975. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Unusual work from the great George Benson – a wonderful session that was recorded by CTI during George's classic years for the label – but issued only briefly a number of years later, and slightly lost amongst the rest of his catalog!

Chris & Cosey —
Elemental 7 ... LP CTI (UK), 1983. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of our favorite projects from the early years of Chris & Cosey – music done for a video release, but still very much like their own studio records of the time – yet with less vocals, and more sonic elements in the mix – so that the whole thing feels like a rare nugget from ...

Deodato In Concert – Live At The Felt Forum ... LP CTI, 1974. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An excellent little live set from Deodato – hard to believe because the sound's just as tight and funky as his studio albums, and possibly even more interesting because he manages to pull it off equally well in a live setting!

Pure Desmond ... LP CTI, 1974. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
An album of sublime understatement from alto genius Paul Desmond!

The first album from Seawind – and a killer batch of jazzy soul tracks all the way through!

Beautiful work from Randy Weston – and a unique electric session from the 70s!
