Maysa Leak's a singer we never tire of hearing – a vocalist who's worked out a subtle, soulful set of classics over the past decade or two – working often with Incognito, and also sounding equally great on her own!

Ghost SongNonesuch, 2022. Used
A fantastic new chapter in music from Cecile McLorin Salvant – a singer who's only been with us for a little more than a decade, has already gotten a Grammy and a MacArthur Genius Grant – yet hasn't let that stop her from being even more creative than ever! Cecile's still very much a ... CD (Vocalists CD)
Brothers
Don't Stop NowRCA, 1976. Very Good+
Great stuff – and the kind of group that would be easy to overlook if the tracks weren't so good!

LP, Vinyl record album (Soul LP)
Aretha Franklin
Aretha's GoldAtlantic, 1969. Very Good+
It's hard to believe that after just a few short years of recording for Atlantic records, Aretha Franklin could come up with enough gold records to warrant a full album of hits for the label – but that's definitely the case with this classic collection from 1969! The fantastic evolution of ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul LP)

LP...$54.99
59.99
A second great statement from the "corner club" of Milton Nascimento – that special assemblage of musicians from his home territory of Minas Gerais, augmented here in slight ways that maybe make the album an even more ambitious record than the first! All the best artists from the ... LP, Vinyl record album (Brazil LP)
Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin IVAtlantic, 1971. Used
Hard rock perfected! It's around Led Zeppelin IV that you can easily say that the group moved up from being incredibly great to flat-out legendary – really in a class by themselves, although maybe they'd already reached that point with the sublime sounds of the previous three records! There' ... CD (Rock CD)
Jim Hall
Live In TokyoKing (Japan), 1976. Used
A rare 70s set from guitarist Jim Hall – one that's got a cover that recalls Blue Note artwork used for Kenny Burrell, and recorded with a strong sound to match! The record's got maybe a bit more bite than some of Jim's airier sessions from the 70s – a strong power with Hall in the ... CD (Jazz CD)

Townes Van Zandt
For The Sake Of The Song (with download)Tomato/Fat Possum, 1968. New Copy
The great debut of Townes Van Zandt! On the level of pure songwriting, it's masterful – Townes was pretty much in peak form on that front even on the debut!

LP...$19.99

Easily our favorite album ever by Ann Peebles – not just for the beathead title track, but also because it seems to be the one record where she brings a bit something extra to the studio!

Stone RollinColumbia, 2011. Used
The second set for Columbia by evolving R&B great Raphael Saadiq – possibly the best album he's ever done!

Ronny Jordan
Antidote4th & Broadway, 1992. Used
A classic bit of London funky guitar from Ronny Jordan – the heir apparent to Grant Green and Ivan Boogaloo Joe Jones – and one of the best new players of his generation! The set takes the older funky guitar styles of the 60s soul jazz generation, and fuses it with a 90s nujazz ... CD (Jazz CD)
Gil Melle
Andromeda StrainIntrada, 1971. Used
Amazing stuff from the legendary jazz musician Gil Melle! By this time in his career, Melle had dropped his standard baritone – and had begun experimenting with loads of early electronics.

Irma (Italy), 1996. Used
Italy's great answer to the Mojo Club comps, and a great mix of jazz, soul, and other groovy musics that get a lot of play in the kind of hip clubs that we never seem to have over here in the states. A great 14 track mix of cuts that never stops to entertain, and which sounds great in a cool ... CD (Funky Compilations CD)

Jack McDuff
Gin & OrangeCadet/Dusty Groove, 1969. Used
Fuzzy, funky genius from the great Jack McDuff – a killer late 60s set done for Chess Records, and one that mixes his own searing Hammond with wicked arrangements from the mighty Richard Evans!

Jazzman (UK), 1960s/1970s. Used
A killer collection of grooves from the always-hip Jazzman label – a dozen tracks previously issued by the imprint on 45s, now brought together in one nicely-priced CD!

New Black Poet – Small Talk At 125th & LenoxFlying Dutchman/RCA, Early 70s. Used
Gil Scott-Heron's first album – and his angriest! Unlike some of Gil's other albums – which have a sweet jazzy vibe and a mix of mellow soul styles – this one's a lot rawer, and features Gil rapping loud over very heavy percussion backing. All the work is his own, and the album's ... CD (Soul CD)
Various
BrotherhoodLuv N' Haight, 1994. Used
One of the best Luv N Haight compilations, probably our favorite in their eclectic series that set a benchmark for so many funky compilations to follow!

Sun & MoonSoulnari, 2005. Used
Finally – the first full length album by Jiva, a group that we've loved for their singles in recent years, and have been dying to hear more of! Jiva are one of the strongest acts on the current Atlanta scene – a warmly soulful group who've also got a nice touch of jazz – and a ... CD (Neo Soul CD)
