A later album by Johnny Griffin, recorded after his return to the US during the late 70s.

Tremendous work from Johnny Griffin – one of those players whose talents never dimmed at all – and who's blowing here with all the same sharp intensity he first brought to his initial work in the 50s! The date's a tight acoustic session – with Johnny's bold tenor firmly in the ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An overlooked gem from the great Roy Haynes – a set that has a cover that looks a bit unassuming, but a vibe that's mighty nice – thanks to both the hipness of the leader, and work on the record from Bobby Hutcherson on vibes, Cecil McBee on bass, and both Stanley Cowell and George ...

Not as full on and bombastic as some of Philly Joe's heavy thunder recordings from the late 50s, but a nice album recorded for Galaxy Records at the end of the 70s!

One of those surprisingly cool 70s albums from drummer Shelly Manne – an artist who was really changing things up a lot more than some of his older LA jazz contemporaries at the time!

A New York album, but one that was oddly recorded in Burbank – and which has Art Pepper sounding very much at the top of his game!

Funky funky Bobby! "Chicken Heads" is a great little bit of tripped-out bluesy funk – perfectly done in Bobby's funky 45 mode, with guitar slowly vamping and picking out a solo, and Bobby singing with ease in a deeply soulful mode. "Mary Jane" has a similar groove – ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record

Excellent early work from Little Johnny Taylor – not to be confused with the bigger-name singer on Stax! The title's a bit of a misnomer, given that Little Johnny Taylor wasn't the biggest hitmaker of the 60s – but the album's a killer batch of his best work for the Galaxy label – ...

An overlooked 70s session from Cal Tjader – one that's definitely in the mellower mode of the spectrum, but in a way that's still plenty darn nice! The style here is part of Cal's move away from funkier work at the end of the decade – almost a return to tradition, but not a tradition ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
