Prayer For Peace ... LP Transatlantic/Trading Places (UK), 1969. New Copy (reissue)...
$25.9928.99
A landmark set from the freer side of the British jazz scene at the end of the 60s – a relatively open-ended session cut by alto saxophonist Trevor Watts with his Amalgam trio – a great group that features John Stevens on drums and Jeff Clyne on bass (although Barry Guy also sits in on ...

Excellent stuff – and one of Don Cherry's first global jazz experiments on record!

Renaissance ... LP Catalyst/Trading Places (UK), 1978. New Copy (reissue)...
$18.9928.99
An overlooked gem from this great pianist – one of his few dates as a leader, and maybe the boldest of them all – as the session really soars with a heck of a lot of spiritual energy! The vibe here is maybe more in the Muse Records side of the spectrum than Strata East, but that's OK ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the most obscure albums ever recorded by Screamin Jay Hawkins – and one of the best, as well – a rare session done down in Nashville, and with a rootsy vibe that works perfect for Jay's amazing voice! There's a bit less hoke here than Hawkins can sometimes have – and ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Jade Warrior ... LP Vertigo/Trading Places (UK), 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)...
Out Of Stock
The fantastic debut of Jade Warrior – a group who were one of the most unique prog acts to record for the Vertigo label in the 70s! Jade Warrior is just a trio – and unlike some of the harder-rocking power trios of the time, the group have a way of balancing softness and intensity, ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the best albums ever from Japanese pianist Masabumi Kikuchi – a set that continues his development as a wonderfully expressive player on his instrument, but one that also opens up with a bit more bite at times, too – thanks to the presence of some sharp-edged contemporaries! The ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

My Own Time And Space ... LP Catalyst/Trading Places, 1976. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)...
$25.9934.99
A warm set of groovers from Flip Nunez – a San Francisco-based pianist with a great Latin tinge, working here in a fantastic setting that makes for one of his greatest recordings!

Songs For The Gentle Man ... LP Dandelion/Trading Places, 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
The second album from the enigmatic Bridget St John – and a slightly more expanded version of the sound explored on her debut!

Samurai ... LP Greenwich/Trading Places (Italy), 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)...
Out Of Stock
A fantastic debut album from Samurai – one of those lost prog classics from the start of the 70s that still sounds years ahead of its time! The group features Dave Lawson on keyboards and vocals – and represents an amazing (and short) evolution of the sound of his music from his time ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

After The Rain ... LP Catalyst/Trading Places, 1976. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)...
$25.9934.99
Funky keyboard work from Frank Strazzeri – a player who's really stretching out here in the 70s, with a massively cosmic vibe you'd never have guessed from his earlier work! Strazzeri had recorded and played heavily around the LA scene by the time of this mid 70s release – but most of ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Outta Season ... LP Blue Thumb/Trading Places (UK), 1969. New Copy (reissue)...
$25.9928.99
A record with maybe the most famous album cover ever used by Ike and Tina Turner – and a set that's maybe one of the rawest they ever cut as well! The material was done at a time when the couple were really riding high – but instead of going for a commercial or polished sound, they ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

First Encounter ... LP Victor/Trading Places (UK), 1971. New Copy (reissue)...
$27.9929.99About April 26, 2024
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 moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the best albums ever by this British group that mixed jazz, funk, and rock – with lots of choppy guitar parts, and some nice funky drum breaks! The band had a looser sound on some of their other records, but this one is nicely compressed – especially for fans of later British ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Our favorite album by this Brit jazz rock combo from the mid 70s! The groove on this one is the most straightforward of any of the band's albums – and there's a number of nice cuts that have a strong funk sound with plenty of Afro soul influences – a great straightforward sound that ...
