Golden Classics ... LP Collectables, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ...
Just Sold Out!
Heavenly soul by one of the best voices to come out of the New York Uptown Soul scene of the 60s!

A rare bit of early bossa jazz from the US – an obscure 1959 session by Charlie Byrd, and one that predates most of his more famous work on Riverside, Columbia, and Verve! The session's a bit different than most of Charlie's lighter bossa recordings – in that it features his acoustic ... (Jazz) read moreCD

A very nice album cut by Gilberto Gil in the US in the late 70s – one that features production by Sergio Mendes, and sound that's a strong mix of jazz, soul, and Brazilian grooves! The record kind of fits in with the Elektra modern soul work at the time – a smooth blend of jazz and ... (Brazil) read moreCD
For some odd reason, the Collectables label chose to release albums by two different artists on one CD. We should be mad at them for that, but we can't get that angry, since we're extremely happy to have this Jimmy Giuffre album back in print again! Travelin' Light is one of Giuffre's best albums ...

One of the best records that Chico Hamilton cut during the 50s – and one that features Eric Dolphy, who was with Chico's group for a short while!

Dreamy harmony jazz from the great Hi-Los – one of the hippest groups of the 50s, with a sweet quartet approach similar to The Four Freshmen, and which had a huge effect on pop in the 60s! The tunes on the set feature the group working with either Frank Comstock or Marty Paich – in an ... (Vocalists) read moreCD

A heck of a great 60s soul album – one that we'd rank right up there with the best by the Impressions from the time – perfectly put together without a bit of filler!

2 wonderful albums from pianist Peter Nero – a real maestro of the keys, but also a player who worked in a lean and stripped-down style that was never cloying or overly sentimental, like some of the mood music pianists of the 50s! The albums both have a style that's dramatic one moment, ... (Now Sound) read moreCD
Two great albums on one CD. First up is Here's Helen – great later work by singer Helen O'Connell – a vocalist best known for her classic early 40s recordings with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, but who sounds pretty darn great at this point in her career! The style is much different ... (Vocalists) read moreCD

After Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker came head to head with James Brown in the mid 70s, they broke off and formed the Horny Horns contingent – a tight funky backing section that's featured on a number of late 70s funk sessions, and which also recorded some extremely nice numbers on their own! ...

One of the grooviest albums ever by Attila Zoller – an oft-overlooked Hungarian guitar player who only issued a few records here in the US!
