The album that really broke the B52s out of the box – the one that took them from being an underground favorite in the clubs and the party scene, to being the kind of group that finally got the exposure they deserved!

A beautiful and rare recording – both for singer Alice Babs, and Duke Ellington himself! The session was cut in Paris in 1963 – and it's a moody, intimate album that features Duke backing up Alice with arrangements that are quieter and more subtle than those used with most other ...

Count Basie goes pop, and the results are mighty nice – a hard-swinging take on familiar tunes from the 60s, but all re-tooled the jazzy Basie way! The vibe here is right up there with the best Neal Hefti moments with the group – and although the arrangements are by Billy Byers, they've ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
We totally dig Basie's work from the mid 60s! He was working with Quincy Jones at the time – and Quince laid down some very soulful arrangements that used the best jazz elements of the Basie group to turn out some great pop instrumental tracks with a very groovy sound. This album's a ... (Jazz) read moreCD
2 early 60s Les Baxter albums on one CD, the best of which is The Soul Of The Drums – one of the rarest of all Les Baxter albums, and one of the best!

What a great combination – the Latin piano of Eddie Cano and the magical compositions of Henry Mancini!

More pop piano than some of Eddie's more hard-hitting sides – but still a set that was recorded with a small group and a relatively strong Latin feel.
