Carey Bell's Blues Harp Band with Lurrie Bell —
Goin' On Main Street ... LP 
L+R Records (Germany), 1982. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Originally an overseas release, but recorded in Chicago – with plenty of searing blues harp and vocals from Carey Bell – alongside guitar and a bit of vocals from Lurrie Bell – on some nice titles that go a bit longer than usual! (Blues) LP, Vinyl record album
Harry Edison —
Swingin' Sweets ... CD 
L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1993. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Well-crafted late work from trumpeter Harry Edison – one of those players who saw greater fame in the earlier decades of his career, but was still working at the top of his game by the date of this session! Harry blows trumpet at a level that definitely earns him his nickname "Sweets&quo ... (Jazz) read more CD

Jutta Hipp —
Cool Dogs & Two Oranges – Jutta Hip 1954 ... CD L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1954. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Incredible postwar bop recordings by one of the hippest groups in Germany! During the 50s, pianist Jutta Hipp cut a number of straighter sides for Blue Note that were recorded in the US – but this set features earlier German recordings, some later issued by Blue Note – all done with a ...

L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1962. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
Brilliant work from Austrian saxophonist Hans Koller – one of his most striking sessions of the 60s, and an incredibly rare one too! The material here was originally recorded for a sound library session, but is 60s modern jazz at its best – with Koller on tenor, working in a quartet ... (Jazz) read more CD

Hans Koller & The International Brass Company —
Festival – Live In Frankfurt ... CD L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1980. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Hans Koller is a saxophonist – one of the best on the German scene from the 60s onward – but he shares the stage here with a very hip array of brass players, in a mode that maybe makes the album one of Koller's most striking from the time! There's plenty of work from the leader himself ... (Jazz) read more CD
L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1979. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99 About June 28, 2023
Hans Koller/L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1979. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Two familiar German players, working here with the great Roland Hanna on piano – a musician who brings a beautifully open, lyrical quality to the proceedings! Guitarist Attila Zoller and tenorist Hans Koller recorded famously before, but at a level that was maybe more avant overall – ... (Jazz) read more CD
Kuhn (Rolf Kuhn) —
Don't Split ... CD L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1982. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of the coolest records we've ever heard from German reedman Rolf Kuhn – a player who worked in more traditional modes in the postwar years, but who really let his hair down and his freak fly in the 70s! This album follows very strongly in that later tradition – as it's got this ... (Jazz) read more CD
Ultra Vybe/L+R Records (Japan), 1992. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Gunter Lenz can be as great of a leader as he is a bassist – and that's definitely the case here, on a very horn-heavy session that shows off a side of Gunter's vision that you might not expect from his core instrument! The group's a sextet, with wonderfully intertwining work from Ernst ... (Jazz) read more CD
L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1979. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
Fantastic work from bassist Gunter Lenz – a set with maybe a jokey title, but a heck of a lot of power underneath – one of those overlooked German jazz gems from a very special time in the scene! The players here are aware of the farther reaches of jazz, yet work together with more ... (Jazz) read more CD

L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1964. New Copy ... $13.99 18.99
Brilliant modern jazz from German trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff – recording here in 1964, but sounding years ahead of his time, with an amazing a blend of jazz and Asian styles! The album's one of Mangelsdorff's best ever – a set of rhythmic tunes that seem clearly informed by the ... (Jazz) read more CD
L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1986/1994. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
Beautifully introspective work from reedman Emil Mangelsdorff – material that's very different than the sounds he was bringing to the German jazz scene in his youth, and which showcase the mature command he developed over his instruments during the passage of time! The record features ... (Jazz) read more CD

Emil Mangelsdorff —
Swinging Oildrops ... CD L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1966. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A very cool record, and one that's a bit beyond easy description – recorded by a group that's led by Emil Mangelsdorff on alto and clarinet, and which features piano, soprano, and tenor from a young Joki Freund – plus work from Gustl Mayer on tenor, Fritz Hartschuch on vibes, Gunter ...

L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1992. New Copy ... $13.99 18.99
A crack later set from German altoist Emil Mangelsdorff – a player who started out in more trad jazz settings in the 50s, but who's a very different musician here overall – one who seems to have absorbed all the best contemporary elements on the German scene of the 70s and 80s, then ... (Jazz) read more CD
L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1995. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
One of the more swinging later albums from reedman Charlie Mariano, but a set that's still got that special sort of edge he developed in his music from the 70s onwards – a record that has Charlie blowing both alto and soprano sax, in a quartet co-led with pianist Gregor Josephs! The rest of ... (Jazz) read more CD

L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1991. New Copy ... $7.99 18.99
A guitar/organ trio date, but one with a fresh flavor that's all its own – at a level that really gets past some of the more familiar modes for such a session! Ronald Muldrow's a guitarist who really has a strong sense of color in his approach – maybe a bit in the Wes Montgomery school ... (Jazz) read more CD
L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1991. New Copy ... $13.99 18.99
Guitarist Karl Ratzer is great enough on his own here – but he's also joined by the flugelhorn of Art Farmer on three wonderful tracks – all of which offer up a wonderfully fresh setting for Farmer! The core group has older MPS legend Fritz Pauer on piano, with Paulo Cardoso on bass ... (Jazz) read more CD
L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1995. New Copy ... $17.99 19.99
A really great variation on the trio format in jazz – one that features the really unusual combination of the tenor of Heinz Sauer, piano of Peter Reiter, and vibes of Fritz Hartschuh – the last of whom is a really unique player who brings a heck of a lot to the session! Fritz has a ... (Jazz) read more CD

L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1980. New Copy ... $7.99 18.99
An album that's way more than you'd guess from the Duke Ellington reference in the title – not a too-familiar setting for older Ellington standards – but instead some of his classic tunes, presented with just the tenor of Heinz Sauer and piano of Bob Degen! If you've never heard Sauer ... (Jazz) read more CD
Heinz Sauer Quartet —
Metal Blossoms ... CD L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1984. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The title and cover might make you think this set's a bit cold overall – but that's not the case overall, as the whole thing is a wonderfully warm demonstration of the fantastic work of Heinz Sauer on both tenor and soprano sax! The former horn is used to start out the record with a ... (Jazz) read more CD

Bert Seager —
Bert Seager Quintet – Live At The Yardbird Suite ... CD L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1989. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Long live tracks from pianist Bert Seager – a player who may well be at his best in a setting like this, as the performance really lets him open up with a sense of flow and imagination that we don't always hear on his studio sessions! The group also features tenor from Billy Drewes and ... (Jazz) read more CD

In Memory Of – First & Last Meeting In Frankfurt & Paris 1988 ... CD L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1988. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A very late session from trumpet legend Chet Baker – recording here in the very unusual company of tenorist Archie Shepp – a player that few could have imagined working together a few years before! By the time of the date, Shepp had become more of a traditionalist, but still with an ... (Jazz) read more CD
L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1994. New Copy ... $8.99 18.99
An obscure trio session – one that mixes the talents of two MPS Records stalwarts, bassist Jimmy Woode and drummer Charly Antolini – with the piano of the lesser-known Dirk Raufeisen! We'll be honest in saying that we think this might be the first time we've ever heard Dirk – but ... (Jazz) read more CD

Jim & I – Improvisations On Two Guitars ... CD L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1979. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Guitarist Jimmy Raney cut some fantastic records on the American scene during the 50s – but by the time of this set, he was working and recording a lot more overseas – often in a much more modern tone that makes him a perfect match for the guitar genius of the great Attila Zoller! Both ... (Jazz) read more CD
