Rare live work from Johnny Cash – recorded right at the height of his late 60s fame on Columbia Records, but with a style that nicely takes his sound back to its roots! June Carter joins Cash at a few points in the performance – but most of the set jus has Johnny working with the ... (Folk/Country) read moreCD

$19.9928.99
A really compelling second set from Cat Mother & The All Night Newsboys – and quite different than the first! On their Polydor debut, the group had Jimi Hendrix at the production helm – but this time they're taking things on their own, with a feel that's nicely loose and ... (Rock) read moreCD
14 classics from the Caymmi songbook – sung by himself, and artists who include Gal Costa, Nana Caymmi, Sylvia Telles, Os Cariocas, MPB4, and Elis Regina! (Brazil) CD
Lovely later work from Nana Caymmi – just the sort of record that makes her a perfect heir to her family's strong musical tradition!

One of the few key recordings issued by baritone saxophonist Serge Chaloff before his untimely early death – a tremendous little record that really helped redefine the place of his instrument in jazz!

A fresh new chapter of the long legacy of drummer Joe Chambers – a key instrumental force in the hipper reaches of the Blue Note label in the late 60s, but an artist who seems to finally be catching up with his own work as a leader after all these years! Joe is every bit as wonderful here as ... (Jazz) read moreCD
Drummer Joe Chambers never records much as a leader – but every time he does, the album really turns out to be something special!

One of the few great records that modern bassist Paul Chambers made as a leader – a rare treasure given to the world before he left this planet all too soon!

$24.99
Excellent work from this Chicago tenorist – a killer postwar talent who was equal parts jazz and R&B! Although the cover of the record includes a picture of Eddie's wife, Dinah Washington, and the "Friend" in the title would seem to imply that she's on the album, the set's ... (Jazz) read moreCD

A really back to basics album from trumpeter Don Cherry – or maybe a set that goes back to basics that Don didn't even have, given that most folks initially heard him in the freewheeling group of Ornette Coleman!

Arguably the best of Cherry's albums for Blue Note – and a real masterpiece of soulful avant playing!

A solo piano album – tracks include "Over My Head", "Jesus Loves Me", "Walk With Me Jesus", "Holy, Holy, Holy", "Blessed Quietness", and "We Three Kings". (Jazz) CD
Much later than classic vintage for Chic, but still pretty darn great – and a record that was relatively overlooked at the time!
