Why Not/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1975. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the most beautiful albums ever recorded by this legendary AACM pianist!

✨✧ Air — Air Raid ... CD
Why Not (Japan), 1976. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A seminal 70s set from the legendary Air trio – and one of their wonderful non-American dates from the early years – material recorded overseas, where this famous AACM trio was maybe getting more attention than in the US! The album was originally a Japanese-only album, and it's easily ... (Jazz) read more CD

✨✧ Air — Air Song ... CD
Why Not (UK), 1975. Used ... Out Of Stock
A tremendous album from Air – recorded in their native Chicago, but one of the landmark 70s sessions on Japan's Why Not label!

Kenny Barron — IMO Live ... CD
Why Not/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1982. New Copy ... $19.99 24.99
A really free-wheeling live album from Kenny Barron – cut originally as a Japanese-only session for the ultra-hip Why Not label, and done with a sound that's a bit different than some of his American work of the time! The group's a trio – with Buster Williams on bass and Ben Riley on ... (Jazz) read more CD

✨✧ Joe Bonner — Triangle ... CD
Why Not/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1975. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A simply amazing session by pianist Joe Bonner – arguably his best ever! The album is one of a rare few that were cut for the Japanese Why Not label during the mid 70s, and like the others in the series, it features an American spiritual jazz player working far far past his usual mode. ...

✨✧ Ted Curson — Blue Piccolo (with bonus tracks) ... CD
Why Not/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1976. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of the hippest records ever cut by trumpeter Ted Curson – and that's saying a lot, because all his records are pretty darn hip! Curson's working in a quartet with Jim McNeely on piano, Cecil McBee on bass, and Steve McCall on drums – and the group's a lot tighter than some of ... (Jazz) read more CD

✨✧ Andrew Cyrille — Junction ... CD
Why Not/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1976. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A really fantastic album from the legendary drummer Andrew Cyrille – a record that shouldn't be confused with the similarly-titled American set from the same time – as this one is a much more obscure Japanese record, and one that features a sublime spiritual avant sound throughout! The ... (Jazz) read more CD

✨✧ Chico & Von Freeman — Lord Riff And Me ... CD
Why Not (UK), 1987. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of Chico's greatest recordings of the 80s – and a hip Japanese-only set that also features work from his father, Von Freeman! The set's a no-nonsense batch of tracks that bridges Chico's spiritual avant leanings and Von's roots in a Chicago hardbop tradition – and the rhythm group ... (Jazz) read more CD

Fumio Karashima — Landscape (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD
Why Not/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... $20.99 24.99
We love the 70s work of Japanese pianist Fumio Karashima – and this album is one of our favorites from the decade! Fumio's got this way of being both bold and lyrical at the same time – long flows on the keyboard that are partly in the school of McCoy Tyner, but used to transform the ... (Jazz) read more CD

A New York group, but recorded here for the Japanese Why Not label – an imprint best known for its spiritual jazz sessions of the 70s, making a nice later impression here with this under-recorded combo!

Why Not/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1976. New Copy ... $20.99 24.99
One of the few sessions ever cut as a leader by soul jazz trumpeter Charles Sullivan – a brilliant talent who shone brightly in the mid 70s, working in hip small groups that were very much in the Strata East mode. This rare Japanese-only set has Sullivan working with Rene McLean, Kenny ... (Jazz) read more CD

Why Not (UK), 1976. Used ... $9.99
Maybe the best Joe Lee Wilson album you can ever get! Joe Lee Wilson's got a spiritual jazz vocal style that's in the vein of Leon Thomas, but which often falls short of Thomas' greatness on other recordings – yet here, though, he's totally great – hitting a beautifully soulful vein ...
