Honest Jons (UK), 2006. New Copy 2LP ... $29.99 32.99
A real back to basics set from Tony Allen – much more strongly in his Afro Funk groove of the late 70s than other recent work, and recorded in Lagos with an earthy approach that's totally great! All the experiments and odd flourishes of recent sets have been stripped away – and Allen ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Maki Asakawa ... LP Honest Jons (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Haunting music from Japanese singer Maki Asakawa – every bit as smoky and soulful as you might guess from her image on the cover! These tracks are mostly sung in Japanese, but draw a very strong inspiration from American torch sounds of the 40s and 50s – a moody, late nite approach ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Incus/Honest Jons (UK), 1972/1973. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $29.99 32.99
A legendary meeting of free jazz talents – and one of those records that completely changed the game during the 70s! Both guitarist Derek Bailey and drummer Han Bennink work here at a level that seems completely divorced from American roots in jazz – about as strongly in the post-68 ...

Dart Drug ... LP Incus/Honest Jons (UK), 1981. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
One of the most obscure Derek Bailey albums from his initial early run on Incus Records – a set of duets with percussionist Jamie Muir – and a session that almost seems to unlock more percussive possibilities than usual in Bailey's style on the guitar! If the image on the cover is ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Impossible Love Songs From 60s Quito ... LP Honest Jons (UK), Late 60s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Beautiful work from the Ecuadorian duo of Gonzalo Benitez and Luis Alberto Valencia – a duo who have this wonderfully heartbreaking way of putting over a tune – often working with just spare accompaniment on acoustic guitar, which really lets you focus on the amazing quality of their ...

Leaf-Playing In Quito 1960 to 1965 ... LP Honest Jons (UK), Early 60s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Other-worldly sounds from a leaf-playing musician from the South American scene – an artist who takes the leaf of a ficus tree, holds it in his mouth, and creates all these unusual sounds that are very much in the territory of some sort of exotic reed instrument! The leaf solos are mixed ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Honest Jons (UK), 2022. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $29.99
The title's a bit stark, but it really gets at the sound of this wonderful record – a double-length set that's overflowing with spare percussive jams recorded in contemporary Senegal!

Honest Jons (UK), 1950s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $29.99 32.99
A long-overdue tribute to the legendary Moondog – one of the true visionaries of American music in the 20th Century!

Prestige/Honest Jons (UK), 1956/1957. New Copy ... $16.99 18.99
Incredible work from the enigmatic Moondog – and a great CD that brings together his rare 2nd and 3rd albums for the Prestige label!

EMI/Honest Jons/Astralwerks, Late 60s/Early 70s. Used ... $14.99
A treasure trove of late 60s southern soul from the great Bettye Swann – 22 tunes cut for Capitol between 1968 and 1970 after she jumped from the indie Money Records! Sadly, the move didn't turn Bettye into the major star Capitol no doubt expected to arise – and these fantastic tracks ... (Soul) read more CD

A long-overdue collection of work – one that really gets at the unusual appearance of Latin rhythms on the African scene of the postwar years! Latin sounds from Africa are nothing new, but they're one of those things that's always taken for granted, too – kind of assumed in most ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Honest Jons (UK), Late 20s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $24.99
An amazing look at the Iraqi musical scene of the 20s – pulled from a treasure trove of rare work recorded in Baghdad by EMI!

Caife/Honest Jons (UK), 1960s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $32.99
An incredible look at a very unique legacy of music – sounds from the Caife Records label in Ecuador, a company who was putting out very different music than most other Latin labels in the 60s! The work here isn't the local takes on New York and Cuban styles that were showing up in Central ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album
