RCA/Victor, Early/Mid 60s. Used 5 CDs ... $19.99
Genius in one of its purest forms! Paul Desmond's alto sax was honed to perfection by the time of these recordings – worked out through fame in the Dave Brubeck Quartet years of the late 50s and early 60s, but also relaxed in a confidence that makes these sides completely majestic, and ...

Impulse/Victor (Japan), 1969. Used ... $11.99
At the end of the 60s, Milt Jackson and Ray Brown cut some very groovy records together – teamed up in a great pairing of styles that pushed both of them way past the more standard sounds of earlier years! This album's one of the best of the bunch – as it features pianist Monty ... (Jazz) read more CD
(20 bit mastering.)
Victor (Japan), 2017. Used Gatefold ... $4.99
A great little side project from three members of the legendary Soil & Pimp Sessions combo – pianist Josei, bassist Akita, and drummer Midorin – hence the JAM name of the group! These guys may have the structure of a jazz piano trio, but their sound is something quite different ... (Jazz) read more CD

Victor/Frog (UK), 1929/1930. Used ... $14.99
Victor (Japan), 2015. New Copy ... $13.99
The other side of Monday Michiru – or, more appropriately, the early side of the great soul singer – given that her roots in jazz go very far back, to the time when she was the child of two very famous jazz musicians! This set has Monday reunited with her mother – the legendary ... (Neo Soul) read more CD
Takuya Miyahara —
Sings Russian Folksongs ... LP Victor (Japan), 1972. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Hugo Montenegro —
Good Vibrations ... LP RCA/Victor, 1969. Very Good ... $0.99
Pre-moog work from Hugo Montenegro – but a set that's still pretty darn groovy! The Beach Boys reference in the title is very well put, as Hugo's using some cool harmony vocals for the record – a chorus that definitely takes some of its inspiration from Brian Wilson, singing here both ...

(Stero pressing. Cover has wear, and marker along the top seam.)
Mops —
Psychedelic Sounds in Japan ... CD Victor/World Psychedelia (Korea), 1968/1973. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A buzzing, hard-hitting batch of pychedelic rock from Japan's The Mops – featuring some groovy, echoey tunes penned by the group and sung in their native language – plus a nice choice of passionate covers! The sound is a little bit like Love in their early rawness – and the Mops ... (Rock) read more CD
Victor (Japan), 1971. New Copy ... $19.99
Don't let the "rock" in the title fool you – as this is a jazz album all the way through, but one that has Japanese tenorist Takeru Muraoka taking on some of the hipper rock songs at the start of the 70s! Muraoka has this raspy, almost fuzzy tone at times – mixed with heavy ... (Jazz) read more CD

Victor (Japan), 1981. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Victor (Japan), 1973. Used ... $34.99
Great work from Japanese trumpeter Shunzo Ohno – a musician who's working here in the open, flowing modes explored by contemporary Terumasa Hino at the time – in a setting that also includes excellent Fender Rhodes from Miko Masuda! The tracks are all nice and long – and really ... (Jazz) read more CD

(Includes insert, and front cover has an autograph, and back cover appears to be autographed by most of the group members too!)
Victor (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... $14.99
Searingly soulful work from the group of guitarist Shungo Sawada – a player we mostly know from his groovy instrumental sides of the 60s, but who sounds plenty darn hip in this setting! The record has a nice sort of soul jazz groove on most numbers – one that takes Shungo's warmer ... (Jazz) read more CD

Soil & Pimp Sessions —
Man Steals The Stars ... CD Victor (Japan), 2019. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The cover image is maybe a bit more cosmic than usual for this hip Japanese jazz group – and the sound within definitely follows suit, and maybe makes the album one of the most compelling we've heard from Soil & Pimp Sessions in years! We've loved these guys right from the start, and ... (New Grooves) read more CD

Victor/Alternative Fox (UK), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... About June 5, 2020
Far-reaching and incredibly soulful work from Mal Waldron and Gary Peacock! Both players are at the height of their powers here, and have a warmth and sense of interplay that makes the session one of the best they did alone or together during the time. The group's a trio, with Hiroshi Murakami ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Victor (Japan), 2020. New Copy ... $32.99
We've loved saxophonist Sadao Watanabe for many years, through many different styles, and he's still sounding wonderful after all his decades in music – playing live in a laidback quartet setting, in a performance that's very heavy on his own compositions too! The backing is top-shelf, but ... (Jazz) read more CD

One of the coolest albums ever cut by Japanese wood flute player Hozan Yamamoto – a set that has him working with very groovy backings from the Sharps & Flats ensemble – who almost give the whole thing an MPS label blending of funky jazz and world music sounds! The approach is ... (Jazz) read more CD

Victor/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1960/1961. New Copy ... $24.99
Chilling work from Japanese composer Takeo Yamashita – a record that echoes with the shadows of night, blending sound effects, rough percussion, and some slight jazz instrumentation – into a sound that's a bit noir, a bit avant, and very very striking. The album works like one long ... (Jazz) read more CD
