Verve, 1958. (reissue)
LP...$36.99 38.99 ... On June 28, 2024
Blues-a-plenty, but still pretty darn jazzy too – as the "blues" in the title is just Verve's code for the way the album's put together – loose, unstructured, and a great format for Johnny Hodges to do some wonderful blowing on alto sax! The album also features strong work ... LP, Vinyl record album

Columbia/J-Digs (Japan), 1971. (reissue)
LP ... About May 17, 2024
Heavy funk from Japan's Soul Media combo – and one of the group's great 70s outings with the engimatic Sammy on vocals! Sammy's got this raw, raspy style that might owe a bit to Janis Joplin at times – but also nods strongly to the work of the American underground at others – ... LP, Vinyl record album

Jiro Inagaki & His Soul Media

Head Rock
Columbia/J-Digs (Japan), 1970. (reissue)
LP ... About May 17, 2024

Takeo Moriyama

Smile
Columbia/J-Digs (Japan), 1981. (reissue)
LP ... About May 17, 2024
An album with a sweet title, but a very hard groove – a stone stormer from Japanese drummer Takeo Moriyama – put together with these soaring reed lines that almost make the whole thing feel like an early 70s album from Elvin Jones! There's a very spiritual feel to the music at times ... LP, Vinyl record album

Audiographic, Late 2010s. 5CD
CD...$48.99 54.99 ... About May 15, 2024
A wonderful testament to the mindblowing collaborative powers of reedman Ken Vandermark – one of the most consistently creative saxophonists of the past few decades, and a spirit with a heart that's as big as his music! Ken's a wonder by himself, but one of the things that's always really ... CD

Nate Wooley & Ken Vandermark

Deeply Discounted II/Sequences Of Snow
Audiographic, 2019.
LP...$20.99 24.99 ... About May 15, 2024
Two fantastic side-long improvisations – but we hardly would have expected anything less, given that the proceedings feature Nate Wooley on trumpet, and Ken Vandermark on tenor and soprano clarinet!

Three Blind Mice/Sony (Japan), 1975. (reissue)
LP...$41.99 49.99 ... About June 26, 2024
Deeply personal work from Japanese saxophonist Hidefumi Toki – a player who manages accomplish a great deal in a fairly stripped down setting – filling spare space with gentle notes on alto and soprano sax, often delivered with a nicely raspy tone! The group here is a quartet – ... LP, Vinyl record album
Three Blind Mice/Sony (Japan), 1973. (reissue)
LP...$41.99 49.99 ... About June 26, 2024
A really great little set from Japanese bassist Isao Suzuki – a rare player who goes way way past traditional modes of his chosen instrument, into richly creative territory that rivals the 70s experiments of Ron Carter! Like Carter, Suzuki's never content to just let the bass be a source in ... LP, Vinyl record album

LP ... On May 3, 2024 (delayed)
An unusual little session for Kenny Dorham – one in which he sings as well as plays trumpet – perhaps taking a page out of Chet Baker's book, but with a completely different approach!

The Art Ensemble at the height of their powers – really letting loose on the Parisian scene of the late 60s, where they found a great audience for all the new ideas they'd been brewing up back home! The album's definitely one that has the group's unique ethos coming into focus – that ... CD

LP...$27.99 29.99 ... On May 10, 2024
A tight batch of organ groovers with a raw R&B feel, recorded by the obscure St Louis organist Sam Lazar – with a very young Grant Green on guitar!

Surprisingly wonderful work from Kenny!

One of the first true moments of genius from tenorist Joe Henderson – his debut as a leader for Blue Note, and a set that already has him knocking it out of the park, and setting a tone for a whole new generation! Right at the start, Joe was as distinct a saxophonist as recent predecessors ... CD
