Motema, 2017. New Copy ... $11.99 14.99
The best sort of Thelonious Monk set in our opinion – the kind of record that draws heavily from the legacy of the master, but also delivers something completely new and fresh! Let's face it, Monk would wince at the idea of folks just copying his style and ideas – and Joey Alexander ... (Jazz) read more CD
Ropeadope, 2018. New Copy ... $9.99 14.98
Saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin is even more smoking here than on her previous album for Motema – much more from the streets, as you might guess from the album! Benjamin handles all the sax solos, and composed the music as well – but the set's a very collaborative effort, and is filled ... (Jazz) read more CD
Motema, 2017. New Copy ... $11.99 14.98
That's the state of New Jersey on the cover – represented with an image that's as beautiful as the music on the set – a nicely bold statement from drummer Mark Guiliana, who works here with a mighty strong quartet! The group features some especially great tenor from Jason Rigby – ... (Jazz) read more CD

Hudson (DeJohnette/Motema, 2017. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A group who take their name from the Hudson River Valley – beautifully pictured here on the front cover – and a quartet who work in an equally expansive array of sounds – all sharp elements of tone and timing from a lineup that features Jack DeJohnette on drums, John Scofield on ...

Diaspora/Motema, 1995. Used ... $8.99
The great second session from drummer Babatunde Lea as a leader – recorded 15 years after his first famous album, Levels Of Consciousness! The vibe here is a bit straighter than that spiritual jazz classic – but the soul's equally deep – a tight, visionary batch of music that's ... (Jazz) read more CD

Motema, 2008. Used 2CDs ... $9.99
A beautiful tribute to the greatness of Leon Thomas – put together by one of the few cats who could get it right! Given that Babatunde Lea's other music already takes us back to the days when Thomas sang with Pharoah Sanders – his leadership on a date like this is a natural – as ... (Jazz) read more CD
Joe Locke/Motema, 2012. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Joe Locke's vibes, and some great work on Fender Rhodes and piano from Geoffrey Keezer – wrapped up beautifully in a mode that makes for one of the best records from either player in a number of years! From the notes, it's clear that the album's definitely a co-led session – with ... (Jazz) read more CD
Motema, 2018. New Copy ... $11.99 14.99
The first full album from Deva Mahal – a relatively young singer, but one who comes across with a power that makes us think that she's been recording for years! Deva's definitely got a contemporary soul approach, but works with a rasp in her vocals that's a bit blues-influenced too – ... (Neo Soul) read more CD

Donny McCaslin —
Beyond Now ... CD Motema, 2016. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Reedman Donny McCaslin's been making records for many years now – but he also seems to have gotten a new sort of inspiration from his work with David Bowie on his final recording – at a level that really seems to influence his sound here! The record's still very much a jazz session ... (Jazz) read more CD
Motema, 2017. New Copy ... $11.99 14.99
Round, warm sounds from bassist Charnett Moffett – working here on both acoustic and electric bass, always with that laidback sense of flow that always made his older work so great! Moffett seems to shape each tune in a different way – and he's joined in this pursuit by guitarist ... (Jazz) read more CD
Motema, 2018. New Copy ... $11.99 14.99
David Murray finds a fantastic new outlet for his many talents here – working with the younger songwriter Saul Williams – who delivers some fantastic lyrics throughout!

Motema, 2018. New Copy ... $11.99 14.99
