Cina Voice, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $19.99
We don't know much about Hanna Ahroni, but the set does feature some very groovy arrangements from HB Barnum – on titles that include "Taste Of Honey", "Corcovado", "Deux Larmes", "Al Di La", and "Padam Padam". LP, Vinyl record album
Uni, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Very nice pop soul session, with production by Calvin Carter, and a sound that's similar to some of the Capitol LA soul sessions from the late 60s. Sandra sings in an easy loungey voice, and covers tracks like "Wedding Bell Blues", "She Will Break Your Heart", and "Ooh ... (Soul, Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

(80s Danish pressing.)
Discovery, 1981. Near Mint- ... $11.99
While not as funky as some of her other records for Discovery, this tasty session of vocal tracks still has Lorez singing in a beautifully soulful style, of the type that she's finally getting recognition for these days!

Survival, 1976. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Avant jazz meets The Blues, as Rashied Ali and combo back up singer Royal Blue on this set of tracks released on Ali's own label. Blue's style isn't as heavy-handed as you'd expect, and at times, it shares a bit with 70's singers like Joe Lee Wilson. The band includes Marvin Blackman, Charles ...

(Original rpessing!)
Atlantic, 1966. Near Mint- ... $9.99
One of Mose's mid 60s albums for Atlantic – recorded live, with a bit more of a hip flair than some of his earlier work for Prestige and Columbia, but still with those great vocals that went onto influence a generation of beatnik jazz singers. Mose has more than a bit of New Orleans in his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Red & green label pressing.)
Prestige, Late 50s/Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A strange title, but the record's a pretty nice collection of Mose Allison's early work for Prestige – a collection that focuses only on his instrumental work as a pianist, and doesn't include any of his better-known vocals! Mose is a pretty great talent on the keys, and these tracks have ... (Jazz, Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue trident label stereo pressing with Van Gelder stamp.)
Prestige, 1958. Very Good ... $14.99
A pivotal album for Mose Allison – and one of the first records to ever feature his voice, even if only on one track! During the 50s, Allison was mostly known for his work as a bop-styled pianist – on records by Stan Getz and others – but at the end of the decade, he really ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow & black label NJ pressing with deep groove and RVG etch. Cover has a small center split)
Prestige, 1958. Very Good ... $24.99
Tremendous early work from the great Mose Allison – a Prestige album that captures Mose when he was coming off some straighter jazz years as a pianist, but also working to discover his own unique groove as well! Mose plays piano, but also sings on three tracks, and plays trumpet on one more ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Concord, 1985. Near Mint- ... $3.99
A great cooker from the glory days of Ernestine Anderson on Concord Records – a time when the singer was rediscovered, and revamped in a bit of a bluesy mode – reaching a wide new audience at the time!

(Red label pressing with deep groove. Cover is discolored from age.)
Liberty, Late 50s. Very Good ... $24.99
A beautiful little vocal set – and not nearly as gimmicky as you'd expect! The album's "presented" by Martin Denny, but overall it's a pretty straight jazz set – featuring vocals by Japanese/Hawaiian Ethel, sung in a cool and moody style that's got lots of 50s west coast ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Swedish Society (Sweden), 1972. Near Mint- ... $19.99

Kapp/Elemental (Spain), 1965. New Copy ... $12.99
A great batch of early work from Burt Bacharach – one of the first albums to be issued under his own name, and proof that Mr B was head and shoulders above most of the other arrangers and composers of his time!

Columbia, 1957. Very Good ... $2.99
A great Tony Bennett LP – very different than others from the time (or any time!) in that the format pairs the master vocalist with the "who's who" of drummers and percussionists of the late 50s – including Art Blakey, Jo Jones, Candido, and Sabu. The sound is as majestic and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sonorama (Germany), 1968. Sealed ... $9.99
A really unusual slice of work from pianist Elsie Bianchi – not just because the tracks here have never been heard before, but also because they feature Elsie playing some Hammond, in addition to her usual piano – and the recording was also made in Atlanta, and not some of the European ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Nothing Was Sweeter Than The Boswell Sisters ... LP Ace Of Hearts (UK), Early 30s. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Well, there might have been a few things sweeter than the Boswell Sisters (home made cherry pie comes to mind!), but this set does a pretty good job of showing the lovely ladies at their early best – by presenting an array of key singles from the early 30s, most of which just feature the trio' ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Clea Bradford With Oliver Nelson & Clark Terry ... LP New Jazz, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $48.99
A really great record from singer Clea Bradford – a soulful talent of the 60s who hardly recorded much, but always knocked it out of the park!

Atlantic, 1973. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Sweet 70s funk from the great Oscar Brown – quite a change from his jazz-based work of the 60s, but a great new sitting for all of his wonderful wit and warmth!

A surprisingly groovy set of tunes – from a singer that we really only know from Biker Soundtracks!

Elektra, 1978. Very Good ... $8.99
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!

Terry Callier's first album – recorded in 1964 when he was a wee teen hanging around Chicago's folk scene!
