Bear Family (Germany), 1950s/1960s. New Copy Gatefold ... $28.99 31.99
A much-needed look at the untapped musical legacy of Eden Ahbez – the west coast mystic who's best remembered for delivering the song "Nature Boy" to Nat King Cole (legendarily walking in barefooted during a recording session!) – but who also made a range of other great music ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Herb Alpert, 2017. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $22.99 24.98
A nice little Holiday album from trumpeter Herb Alpert – whose 60s set with the Tijuana Brass might well be one of our favorite Christmas albums of all time!

Whipped Cream & Other Delights ... LP A&M, 1965. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Trumpety magic from Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – a record that's known not only for its classic cover of a model dipped in whipped cream, but also for it's tremendously groovy groove!

Medallion/Kapp, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $18.99
A nice little bit of exotica – with a dreamy island feel that mixes organ, electric guitar, vibes, flutes, and percussion – in a groove that's almost like that of a surf combo gone easy, as you might guess from the name of the group. There's no real standouts here, but Joe Cain ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

United Artists, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $1.99
Hard to tell if these are new versions of songs, or simply ones lifted from Barry's UA soundtracks – but from the notes and the music, the album seems to be a unique one.

AIP, 1970. Sealed ... $33.99
Not classic exotica from Les – but some fantastic soundtrack work with a groovy late 60s feel!

A great little set from a group we know nothing about – the mysterious Brasileros, most likely a studio combo pulled together for the session by cheapo label Diplomat!

Some of the greatest work you could ever find by Lenny Bruce! This set is a brilliant re-creation of a live show that Lenny cut at midnight at Carnegie Hall on February 4, 1961.

More pop piano than some of Eddie's more hard-hitting sides – but still a set that was recorded with a small group and a relatively strong Latin feel.

Not as all-out Latin as some of Eddie's other records – but a killer batch of tunes played in his firey style!

Reprise, Early 60s. Very Good ... $14.99
A pretty darn nice record – despite what you might think!

Decca, 1959. Very Good+ ... $5.99
The frenzied piano of Carmen Cavallaro gets a nice does of Latin rhythms on this set – and the set's a great example of the way that cocktail piano and Latin were strongly linked in the New York scene of the 50s!

A great little record – and a prime example of the strong Jewish/Latin crossover that was going on in the late 50s and early 60s.

RCA, 1971. Very Good+ ... $3.99
Groovy funky moogy material from Hugo Montenegro, recorded during the time when he was making the shift from crime jazz and vocal themes to more electronic stuff with a 70s groove!
