Jackie Cain & Roy Kral —
Bogie ... LP Fantasy, 1986. Very Good+ ...
$1.99
One of the few albums ever issued as a leader by the great Joe Cain – a wonderful Latin arranger with a really mad ear for a groove! Cain's approach is often quite choppy in the rhythms – short, hard, and very very sharp – then topped with sweeter, jazzier lines – played on ... (Latin) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Caldera's third LP for Capitol – and with more fusiony riffing than some of their earlier work for the label.

One of the great albums from Terry Callier's "second chapter" on record – a time when he was working for Elektra Records, and doing work that was a bit straighter soul than before – and also slightly jazzy as well! The record's kind of a mix of jazzy grooves and smoother soul ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Cameosis ... LP Chocolate City, 1980. Very Good+ ...
$5.99
Full-on frenetic funk from Cameo – one of the group's tightest albums, yet still without any of the too-slick sounds of later years! The sound here is amazing – and we always find ourselves wondering how a group of guys can hit such perfect grooves with just a bunch of basses, guitars, ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Massively funky work from Cameo – a set that's right in the middle of their classic early run – and still quite strong on the bass-heavy grooves the group helped inspire in countless legions of imitators!

Word Up! ... LP Atlanta/Polygram, 1986. Near Mint- ...
$14.99
A mid-80s classic from Cameo – one that showed the world that the group was still very much in the funky music game, even if their lineup had been reduced to a trio! Larry Blackmon's still at the head of the group – singing, drumming, and playing bass throughout – with plenty of ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The rhythms really take off in this late 70s burner from Can – a record that re-focuses their energy a bit from before, but with a blend of elements that's still more amazing than most of their contemporaries!

Candido's firey conga is backed by a tight jazz group conducted by Ernie Wilkins.

Tracks include " ... (Latin) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has moderate wear with splitting & aging. NOTE: Vinyl has heat warpage that makes the first track on each side unplayable.)
One of the best 50s albums from trumpeter Conte Candoli – and that's saying a heck of a lot, given how often Conte recorded during the decade! The set's got an edge you don't always find on other Candoli sessions – especially some of the large group material – and the group's ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Heavy red label pressing with deep groove. Back cover has a small streak of yellow paint and a small peeled spot from tape removal.)
A lost gem on Epic from the 50s!

An incredible early album from Eddie Cano – one that features his Latin tinged piano amidst some incredibly sharp orchestrations, all cooking up a set of tight and rhythmic readings of Ellington standards!

It took far too long for Cappadonna's Pillage LP to drop – finally hitting the streets in the late 90s – and serving as one of the best Wu related efforts of the last couple years of the decade!

Very cool work from Henson Cargill – a lesser-known talent from the Nashville scene at the start of the 70s!

The Cariocas were a swingin jazzy bossa vocal group, with a sound that was similar to the Tamba Trio, but a lot more jazzy.

Overlooked grooviness from the UK scene of the early 80s – and the best album ever from this jazzy pop combo!

A fantastic LP by Betty Carter – and one of the first she issued on her own Bet-Car label, which she formed after years of being screwed by the music industry!

A record of incredible beauty – probably our favorite of all the Betty Carter comeback albums!

Mellow magic from Betty – one of her first "comeback" albums for Verve, and an excellent set of tunes that still keeps the same feel as her 80s work on her own label.
