Sawano/Jazz Shinsekai (Japan), 2013. New Copy ... $16.99 52.99

Nautilus —
Plays Standards ... LP Urban Discos/DIW (Japan), 2022. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Funky trio Nautilus plays standards, but not the kind of over-recorded songs from Cole Porter and Irving Berlin – and instead a whole host of mighty cool cuts from the likes of Herbie Hancock, Bobby Hutcherson, and Woody Shaw!
