Linda Carriere ... LP 
Alfa/Sony (Japan), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock

Kenny Drew Trio —
Impressions ... CD Timeless/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1988. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A beautiful album that definitely lives up to its title – and delivers some of the wonderfully impressionistic piano work that Kenny Drew was recording in the 80s – music that's very different than both his early American albums in the 50s, and some of the key accompaniment he'd provide ...

Tommy Flanagan —
Jazz Poet ... CD Alfa/Compose, 1989. Used ... Out Of Stock
A great title for this one – given the extremely poetic sound of Tommy Flanagan on the piano! For years, Tommy's had a great talent for being as bopper, yet as sensitive as a mellower, more lyrical player too – a brilliant combination that shows up instantly in the first few notes of ...

Alfa/Great Tracks (Japan), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $40.99 49.99
An album with a dreamy cover image, but one that comes across with a nicely down to earth vibe – really well-crafted arrangements from Hiroshi Satoh, who does a great job of shaping the music for the vocals of Yoichi Takizawa!

Tono Y Sus Sicodelico —
Mister Boogaloo ... LP Alfa/Vampi Soul (Spain), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A boogaloo album, but one that's a lot trippier than most – and definitely worthy of the psychedelic reference in the group's name! As with so much of the best work from the Venezuelan scene of the late 60s, the music here draws on references from up north, but really abstracts the sound ...

The album really gets at the Paris Moods of the title – as Barney blows in a warm, tender style ... (Jazz) read more CD
Barney Wilen with the Mal Waldron Trio —
French Movie Story (aka Movie Themes From France) ... CD Alfa (Japan), 1989. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the best later albums by French tenor genius Barney Wilen – a true gem that's far better than the title might indicate! The tunes, as you might guess, are all themes from French films – stretching back to the late 50s jazz/new wave days, when Wilen recorded on a few brilliant ... (Jazz) read more CD

Alfa (Japan), 1979. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $24.99
The second album from Harumi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi, not as much of an electro groove filled affair as the first, but still a great batch of quirky techno-electro Asian pop with lots of great bubbling synth touches! 8 tracks in all including "Behind The Mask", ...

Alfa/Sony (Japan), 1980s. New Copy 2LP ... $48.99 54.99
A totally cool look at a totally cool label – the early home of YMO, and an imprint that was host to some of the coolest Japanese music in the 80s! Some of the artists on the Alpha label were already rising stars by the time the company launched in 1980 – but they found a new outlet ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album
