Lorez Alexandria —
Baltimore Oriole/
Argo, 1963. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Moody moody jazz from Lorez Alexandria – a tune so nice she had to cut it twice – and both versions are great!

Urana/Celeste (Japan), 1979. Used ... $14.99
Alive were one of the hippest all-female combos of their time – and although they were marginalized in the womyn's music ghetto for most of their career, they've got a great sound that's been rediscovered over the years by crate-diggers and jazz dancers!

Atlantic/Collectables, 1968. Used ... $4.99
Great Atlantic work from Mose – cut in the early years of his rediscovery by the hippie crowd, but with a tight small combo mode that recalls his classic 50s recordings for Prestige!

Herb Alpert with Lani Hall —
Steppin' Out ... CD Shout Factory, 2013. Used ... $3.99
A great groove from Herb Alpert – and a set that almost returns him back to his best fusion styles of the 70s!

RCA, 1960. Very Good+ ... $1.99
A very unique outing – a set that mixes the sweet harmonies of The Ames Brothers with wild backings from Esquivel!
