LP ... On September 27, 2019
A landmark effort from the Legendary Roots Crew – one that a lot of folks hail as their greatest album – and there's a strong case to be made for that! Jazzy soul backdrops and lyrics that are both personally and culturally reflective – and it's also the best produced Roots album ... LP, Vinyl record album (Hip Hop LP)

One of the strongest 70s statements from ex-Blue Notes drummer Louis Moholo – recorded in the company of fellow expatriots and UK avant jazzers that include Johnny Dyani, Evan Parker, Kenny Wheeler, Nick Evans, Radu Malfatti, and Harry Miller. The album shifts easily between strongly ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Beastie Boys
To The 5 Boroughs (180 gram colored vinyl pressing)Capitol, 2004. 2LP (reissue)

A masterful later album by the Beastie Boys – who always preferred to put out a great record every five or six years, than a sub par album every 2 or 3! All these years after Paul's Boutique, when the world of difficult, expensive sample clearance could've kill the layers of pop pastiche ... LP, Vinyl record album (Hip Hop LP)

What can we say? The Beasties continue their manic trio hip hop style mixed with the live jazz/funk/garage (as in rock, not house) sound and keyboards by Money Mark – featuring a bunch of their classic material, and underappreciated album cuts. The Beasties could really do no wrong at this ... LP, Vinyl record album (Hip Hop LP)

Gilberto Gil (1969) (180 gram pressing)Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1969. (reissue)
LP ... About August 15, 2019
The rare 3rd album by Gilberto Gil, and a key piece of the Tropicalia puzzle – one of the most wildly experimental albums from those years, and Gil's last before going into exile! The sound is much more electric than his other albums from the late 60's – and the production, songwriting ... LP, Vinyl record album (Brazil LP)

Jutta Hipp
Jutta Hipp With Zoot SimsBlue Note, 1956. (reissue)
LP ... On October 11, 2019
A wonderful pairing of this German pianist and American tenor star Zoot Sims – and an album that may well be the greatest that Jutta Hipp ever cut! Hipp was one of the rising stars of the German postwar jazz scene in the 50s – and although she issued other American albums in the decade ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Herbie Hancock
Inventions & DimensionsBlue Note, 1963. (reissue)
LP ... On October 11, 2019
A really unique little record from Herbie Hancock – one that's almost completely improvised over Latin percussion! The setup is quite spare – and quite different than Herbie's other Blue Note work – and the group features improvised backgrounds by bassist Paul Chambers and 2 ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Joe Henderson
In N OutBlue Note, 1964. (reissue)
LP ... On October 11, 2019
A stone killer from the early Blue Note years of tenorist Joe Henderson – a key example of why the label had so much faith in him right from the start, and why Henderson's horn was quite different than so many other players of the 60s! There's a sharp edge here, but there's also a soulful ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)

Beastie Boys
Paul's Boutique (180 gram colored vinyl pressing)Capitol, 1989. (reissue)

The Dust Brothers unapologetic way of weaving very famous samples with soul, funk and film score obscurities would steal the show if ... LP, Vinyl record album (Hip Hop LP)

A fantastic document of the first-ever Ann Arbor Blues Festival – the start of a great event that would blossom into other styles of music in the 70s, but which stood as a strong blues-based event in its initial year of 1969! In some ways, the three day series of concerts is a roots answer ... LP, Vinyl record album (Blues LP)

Sublime spiritual jazz from Strata East – one of the label's rarest recordings, and one of its hippest too!

One of the best debuts in the history of hip hop – and one of the most important albums the genre ever produced! Criminal Minded is landmark for a number of reasons.
