Columbia, Late 50s/Early 60s. Used 2 CDs
How can we even begin to describe the genius of Lambert Hendricks and Ross? The group was a jazz vocal supergroup that merged three talents that had already made a big name in the bebop vocalese field – Dave Lambert, Jon Hendricks, and the lovely Annie Ross – and the project was an ...
(Vocalists CD)
Blue Note, 1994. Used
A tremendous pairing of guitarists – both musicians who first helped change the sound of the instrument in jazz during the 70s, and who somehow come together here at a level that not only brings out the best in both, but also seems to evolve the music too! Scofield and Metheny are masters of ...

Claus Ogerman featuring Jan Akkerman
Aranjuez
Jazzman, 1978. Very Good+
Claus Ogerman-listed version of one of the most sensitive 70s albums from guitarist Jan Akkerman – a set recorded with larger backings from Claus, who really helps Jan find a newly mellow side of his sound! Gone are some of the too-jamming, rock-inspired modes of Akkerman's other records ...
(Jazz LP)
Philips (Brazil), 1981. Very Good+
Maria Bethania's warmed her sound up a fair bit here from earlier releases – and is hitting the same blend of jazz overtones and larger arrangements used during the same period by Caetano Veloso and Gal Costa – both of whom were maturing at a similar pace! There's still a fair bit of ...
(Brazil LP)
Sunshine Enterprises (Austria), 2004. Used
Hi Hat, 1964. Used
Fantastic Stan Getz material from the 60s – a beautiful live set recorded right around the same time as Stan's Getz-A-Go-Go album – and, like that one, also features great vibes from Gary Burton and a bit of guest vocals from Astrud Gilberto! The main focus is on Stan's core sound with ...

Savoy, 1985. Very Good+ 2LP
Stanyan, Early 70s. Very Good+
MGM/La La Land, 1966/2011. Used
Mercury, Late 50s. Very Good+
(Maroon label stereo pressing with deep groove – FR2/FR3. Cover has light wear and a name in marker.) (Classical LP)
Atlantic, 1966. Very Good+
A heck of a great little record – one that shouldn't work so well, but it does! For the set, Sonny Stitt's blowing in front of a larger brass section – and while the prospect of a Sonny Stitt big band record might not sound that great at first, this one really kicks, largely because of ...

F Communications/Chipie, 1997. Used

Includes the songs "Rhiannon", "Don't Stop", "Go Your Own Way", "Hold Me", "Everywhere", "Gypsy", "You Make Loving Fun", "As Long As You Follow", "Dreams", "Say You Love Me", "Tusk", "L ...

Alligator, 1978. Very Good+
(Green label pressing. Cover has a cut corner.) (Blues LP)
A&M, 1986. Very Good+ 2LP
A well-recorded set that shows Joe Jackson really grabbing command of his overall sound – initially issued as a 3-sided record to fit all the music in one package!
(Rock LP)
Atlantic, 1974. Very Good+
Electric Flag keep on playing – a statement that hardly needs to be made, when you've got a group lineup as strong as this! The album's a bit later in the combo's vintage, but actually seems to have the individual members finding more focus in the company of each other than they might have ...
(Rock LP)
Mercury, 1983. Used
A huge breakout album for Def Leppard – and a record that maybe set the style for so many other mainstream hard rock acts in the mid 80s – thanks to a mix of crisp drums, searing guitars, and screaming vocals with an anthemic feel that really sends things over the top! And sure, it's ...

Warner, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold
Titles include "Wild Night", "Like A Cannonball", "Old Old Woodstock", "Tupelo Honey", "When That Evening Sun Goes Down", and "Moonshine Whiskey".

Columbia, 1977. Very Good+
(Cover has a divot on the top seam, but looks great otherwise.) (Rock LP)
Atlantic/Rhino, 1968. Used
It's the late 60s, and Eddie's creating his famous electrified Varitone sound – unique among other soul jazz players in that it actually added a lot to Eddie's work, instead of detracted from it (as with some other boppers who briefly picked up the instrument.) The Varitone's cool flat tone ...

Arista, 1986. Very Good+
With Alan Glass, Corrado Rustici, and John Raymond on guitar; Joe Plass and Randy Jackson on bass, Gigi Conaway and Kenny McDougald on drums, and Tony Gable on percussion.

Luaka Bop (Brazil), 2006. Used 2 CDs
The glorious return of Os Mutantes – a recent live performance that marks the group's first new album in many many years! The show was recorded before a very enthusiastic audience in London – at a time when the city was in the throes of a recent new wave of interest in Tropicalia ...

Compost (Germany), 2000. Used
Tracks by Rainer Truby Trio, A Forest Mighty Black, Fauna Flash, Beanfield, Move D, Taran, and more.
(New Grooves CD)
Six Degrees, 2000. Used
Take two European musicians dreaming of warmer climes, throw in an actual Brazilian singer – and you've got a pretty decent blend of styles that comes off with a pretty soulful finish! The record features loads of keyboards and samples mixed with Brazilian percussion, peppered over the top ...
(Brazil CD)
Blue Note, 1963. New Copy Gatefold
One of the greatest lost sessions ever! Legendary vibist Bobby Hutcherson recorded this set of tracks in his early days with Blue Note – but the set's never come out until now, and its release is cause for rejoicing! The material shows Hutcherson playing in a straight-ahead format, tinged ...

Tomato, 1980. Very Good+
(Original Tomato pressing. Cover has light wear.) (Blues LP)
Light In The Attic, Late 60s/Early 70s. Used
A sweet little set that definitely aims to stake out its own little territory – with a groove that lives up surprisingly well to the title! The music here is way funkier than you might expect – and comes from a time when many popular singers were working in studios staffed by cats who ...
(Funky Compilations CD)
Atlantic/32 Jazz, 1957. Used
The title definitely gets it right – as this is the real sound of Lee Konitz – the kind of extra-special approach to alto sax that made Lee one of the true modern giants of the 50s, with an approach that nobody had ever heard before! The album captures Konitz at the height of his ...
