Mr Bongo Record Club – Vol 4Mr Bongo (UK), Late 60s/1970s.
CD...$10.99
11.98
Maybe the coolest entry so far in this excellent series – and proof that the Mr Bongo label has gone much farther in recent years than it ever did in the past! Years back, Bongo was known as a hotbed of Latin and Brazilian music – but the sounds here are also rare funk and soul, other ... CD (Funky Compilations CD)
Kraftwerk
Soest LiveInnerspace (UK), 1970.
Rare early work from Kraftwerk – a live performance done at a time when the group was maybe more tied to the freakier, fuzzier side of the German scene than some of their later spare electronics – stepping out here on long tracks that really show a great ability to jam in an extended ... CD (Rock CD)
Various
Tokyo DreamingSony/We Want Sounds (UK), Early 80s.
A great dip into the wide world of Japanese pop in the early 80s – a set that does a nice job of bringing in some elements from the world of jazz, and showing just how much a range of electric modes flowed together in Tokyo at the time! Some of these artists were doing more offbeat work, ... CD (Funky Compilations CD)
Manu Dibango
NegropolitainesFremeaux & Associates (France), Early 90s.
CD...$16.99
18.99
A really great project from the legendary saxophonist Manu Dibango – a set that's almost a return to more rootsy territory after his more upbeat grooves of the 80s – even though Manu was always a bit more of a hybrid player overall! The set was originally issued in two different ... CD (Global Grooves CD)
Horace Tapscott
Songs Of The UnsungInterplay/Survival Research (Australia), 1978. (reissue)
Solo piano work from the magical Horace Tapscott – a blend of original compositions, plus work by hip composers like Cal Massey and Elmo Hope – key modern jazz talents with whom Tapscott genuinely shares a lineage! Tapscott's got the usual fluid touch on the keys – opening forth ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Robert Glasper
Dillalude Suite (2020 Japan Record Day Release)Blue Note (Japan), 2020.
A really special record from Robert Glasper – as you might guess from the reference to J Dilla in the title! The record is just an EP, but it brings together some of Glasper's hippest moments of the past few years – as the set features the three part "J Dillalude", with ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Piero Umiliani
Lounge SideRambling (Japan), Late 60s.
Sublime soundtrack work from one of our favorite Italian composers – the mighty Piero Umiliani – a man who gave the world plenty of weird sounds over the years, but who could also come up with a really dreamy sort of groove! Most of this work is a mix of jazz and bossa with some of the ... CD (Soundtracks CD)
Strawberry (UK), Mid 60s. 3CD
A really well-titled compilation – one that gets at the special mix of music that was happening in the London mod scene of the 60s – a blend of styles that's way different than was going on here in the US at the time! There's certainly some bigger names on the collection – but ... CD (Rock CD)
Legendary Beyons
Legendary BeyonsAlbina Music Trust, 1977. (reissue)
Damn great work from the Legendary Beyons – a soul group from late 70s Portland, but one who could easily go head to head with some of the hipper New Jersey and Philly acts of the early part of the decade! The group have fantastic harmonies – and are able to serve them up on these ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul LP)
Eric Reed
For Such A Time As ThisSmoke Sessions, 2020.
CD...$13.99
16.99
Eric Reed steps out here in a strong array of modes – solo, trio, and quartet – all of which really show the depth he's developed in recent years – a strong step forward from the already-great territory of his earlier records! The pianist really knows how to balance his talents ... CD (Jazz CD)
Daniel Humair
Drum ThingFremeaux & Associates (France), 2020.
Fantastic work from drummer Daniel Humair – a hugely important creative musician, still very much at the top of his game! Humair was one of the first European percussionists to really set his instrument free from conventions of timekeeping – to open up more possibilities for melody, ... CD (Jazz CD)
Tom Ze
RaridadesWarner (Brazil), Late 60s/Early 70s.
A fantastic collection of rare work from the young Tom Ze – obscure tracks from 7" singles, compilations, and festival performances too – all brought together as a counterpart to his full length albums on the Continental and RGE labels! As singles, a few of these tracks are maybe ... CD (Brazil CD)
Jacques Loussier, Andre Hodier, Andre Previn, & Claude Bolling
Musique Classique Et Jazz – La Naissance Du Crossover 1958 to 1962Fremeaux & Associates (France), Late 50s/Early 60s. 2CD
CD...$22.99
29.99
A well-done look at a style that would break big on the European scene of the mid 60s – the mixture of jazz performance and classical melodies – presented here in a slightly different way by some of the genre's true pioneers! Jacques Loussier recorded famous albums of Bach tunes done ... CD (Jazz CD)
Piero Umiliani
Romantic SideRambling (Japan), Late 60s.
Don't think "romance" – at least not in the sleepy sort of American romance music from the 60s – and think "groovy" instead, and maybe a bit of "sexy" too – as these tunes are pure cinematic gems from Italian composer Piero Umiliani! Like the other ... CD (Soundtracks CD)
Evelyn Champagne King
Evelyn Champagne King – The RCA Albums 1977 to 1985 (8CD set)RCA/Soulmusic.com (UK), Late 70s/Early 80s. 8CD
A massive collection of music – eight full albums from Evelyn Champagne King, plus bonus tracks as well! King was a hell of a singer who came along at just the right time – as cool and classy enough to have sung jazz in decades before, but with a richness that also really fit the ... CD (Soul CD)
Black & Blue/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1970/1973.
Great work from this Chicago group – material recorded in France, but which wails with the best sound of the small blues clubs on the south side at the time! The core group features Louis Myers on guitar and harmonica, Dave Myers on bass, and Fred Below on drums – joined by Eddie ... CD (Blues CD)
MGM/Vivid (Japan), 1968.
A really groovy little record – a set of really catchy pop psych numbers, all of which get the added benefit of larger arrangements from producer Alan Lorber! Orpheus are clearly good enough on their own – a great ear for mixing trippier touches and catchier lyrics – but the ... CD (Rock CD)
Andrew Cyrille
Ode To The Living Tree (180 gram pressing)Venus (Japan), 1994.
Pure genius from Andrew Cyrille – a record that's got a bit more of a soaring, spiritual vibe than some of his more freely improvised work of the past – a set that marks a key chapter in this stretch of the drummer's career, similar to his album on DIW at the same time! The group is ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Soul Jazz (UK), 1970s/Early 80s. 2CD
A really fantastic compilation – and one that will take your collection of German electronic music far past the familiar territory of Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream! This series has always been great, but it also seems like the longer it goes, the deeper it digs – which is definitely ... CD (Funky Compilations CD)
Kamaal Williams
Wu HenBlack Focus, 2020.
Keyboardist Kamaal Williams is light years ahead of his first record here – and that's saying a lot, as that album was already pretty darn far-reaching! The music still has plenty of Fender Rhodes and keyboards, and other jazz elements that include tenor from Quinn Mason – but the ... CD (Jazz CD)
