Fingers ... LP 
CTI, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of Airto's greatest records ever – a really hard hitting batch of tracks that mix sharp-edged fusion lines with some earthier Brazilian percussion touches – all in a way that nicely steps off of Airto's first few American releases, and warms the groove up with a nice dose of ...

CTI, 1977. Very Good- Gatefold ... $2.99
Havana Candy, indeed – as singer Patti Austin's in her sweetest mode of the 70s – stepping off of years of background vocals for others, and really emerging as a great soul star on her own!

She Was Too Good To Me ... CD

A great return to form for Chet Baker – his first record in a number of years away from the studio, and proof that his genius could adapt to just about any setting!

George Benson In Concert – Carnegie Hall ... CD CTI/Mosaic, 1977. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

George Benson —
Good King Bad ... LP CTI, 1975. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $8.99
Sweet 70s funk from George Benson – an album that's a bit smoother than some of his earlier work, but still free from the commercial polish of his later hits!

All Blues ... LP CTI, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of Ron Carter's best from the 70s – a hip and subtle effort recorded for CTI, with a small group that includes Joe Henderson on tenor, Roland Hanna on piano, and Billy Cobham on drums!

Deodato In Concert – Live At The Felt Forum ... LP CTI, 1974. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An excellent little live set from Deodato – hard to believe because the sound's just as tight and funky as his studio albums, and possibly even more interesting because he manages to pull it off equally well in a live setting!

From The Hot Afternoon ... LP A&M/CTI, 1969. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Incredible stuff – and a record that grows more and more important to us over the years!

Something You Got ... LP CTI, 1977. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
A sweet funky album from Art Farmer– an artist we don't normally associate with 70s funk, but who does a really great job on this CTI session!
