Dave Pike
Times Out Of MindMuse, 1976. Used
Mellower than some of Dave's MPS records – with not as much psychedelic playing, but still some great jazzy grooves, laid out in a nice electric vein! The lineup includes vibes, electric piano, art, tenor, and guitar – and the best tracks have a dancing modal mode that shows that Pike ... CD (Jazz CD)
Chi Sound/Southbound (UK), 1980/1981. Used
2 great later gems from The Dells – both essential sides of their later catalog! I Touched A Dream is an especially tremendous record – a bit smoother than before, but still much more daring vocally than most other harmony groups at the time, cutting through some smoother arrangements ... CD (Soul CD)
Cesar Ascarrunz
Cesar 830Flying Dutchman/BGP (UK), 1975. Used
Lost Latin funk from the Bay Area scene of the 70s – and an album that may well blow away better-known work by groups like Malo, Azteca, or El Chicano! The album's near-perfect right from the start – and brings in plenty of New York elements to the groove, thanks to the inclusion of a ... CD (Latin CD)
Kent/Ace (UK), Late 60s. Used
CD...$9.99
18.99
Deep soul is special soul – a certain breed of soul music that features extremely emotive vocal performances, and the kind of gut-level delivery of lyrics you'd find in the best work by legends like Otis Redding or James Carr! Yet despite the fame of those big names, the style is maybe best ... CD (Soul CD)
Sir Mix-A-Lot
SwassDef American/Rhym Cartel, 1988. Used
Tracks include "Buttermilk Biscuits (Keep On Square Dancin)", "Posse On Broadway", "Gold", "Swass", "Rippin", "Mall Dropper", "Hip Hop Soldier", "Iron Man", "Bremelo", "Square Dance Rap", and "Ro ... CD (Hip Hop CD)

Tracks by Neneh Cherry, The Neville Brothers, Debbie Harry, David Byre, Tom Waits, U2, Les Negresses Vertes, Erasure, Jungle Brothers, Jimmy Somerville, Jody Watley and more. CD (Funky Compilations CD)
Meat Loaf
Bat Out Of HellColumbia, 1977. Used
The classic! Todd Rundgren production, Jim Steinman songs, and lots of classics like "Bat Out Of Hell" and "Paradise By The Dashboard Light". Plus, we went to high school with Karla DeVito! CD (Rock CD)
Billy Cobham
CrosswindsAtlantic (UK), 1974. Used
A masterful album from Billy Cobham – and maybe the best 70s record to really demonstrate the unique place he found for himself in 70s fusion! The album soars with a sound that really lives up to its cover image – but it's also not the heavy-jamming affair of some of Billy's more ... CD (Jazz CD)
Yes
FragileAtlantic, 1972. Used
Classic! Fragile is the one that catapulted Yes to unlikely stardom, and in so doing, it brought adventurous, proggy rock to mainstream audience – pretty much changing the face of rock for at least a decade to come! Rick Wakeman's arrival and his spacier electronic keyboards have a lot to do ... CD (Rock CD)
Michael Cochrane
ElementsSoul Note (Italy), 1986. Used
A really soulful groover from the glory days of the Soul Note scene – a killer set that crackles with the kind of energy of some of the best 70s sides on Muse – like work by Woody Shaw or Kenny Barron! Pianist Michael Cochrane leads a hip quintet with Tom Harrell on trumpet and Bob ... CD (Jazz CD)
Philip Glass
PowaqqatsiElektra, 1988. Used
The follow-up to Koyaanisqatsi – and almost as beautiful! CD (Out Sound CD)
Andrew Hill
Black FireBlue Note, 1963. Used
Insanely wonderful music from Andrew Hill – a lean, stripped-down session that has Hill working at his firey best – in a space that's somewhere between the "new thing" recordings of Jackie McLean, and the brooding brilliance of Andrew's later Smokestack session! The group ... CD (Jazz CD)
Icon/Nonesuch, 1985. Used
A groundbreaking album, put together by Zorn and a group of downtown New York hipsters, as a fitting hommage to the genius of Ennio Morricone! The track list sticks to mostly the bigger known numbers, and the album's got a darkness that we'd actually say was a bit out of place, considering the ... CD (Jazz CD)
Tina Brooks
True BlueBlue Note, 1960. Used
One of the greatest albums ever for Blue Note – and the only album recorded by tenor player Tina Brooks that was issued during his lifetime! The album's nearly perfect – and features Brooks' edgey tenor set in an all star group that includes Duke Jordan on piano, Freddie Hubbard on ... CD (Jazz CD)
Souls Of Mischief
93 'Til InfinityJive, 1993. Used
Contains the tracks "That's When Ya Lost", "Let Em Know", "Live & Let Live", "93 'Til Infinity", "Disseshowedo", "Tell Me Who Profits", "What A Way To Go Out", and "Make Your Mind Up". 14 tracks in all. CD (Hip Hop CD)
Donny Hathaway
These Songs For You, Live!Atlantic/Rhino, Early 70s. Used
A fantastic document of the genius of Donny Hathaway – and a set that shows that the 70s soul legend was every bit as wonderful live as he was in the studio! The set features a huge number of unreleased tracks by Donny – grouped with numbers pulled from his two successful 70s live sets ... CD (Soul CD)
Hugh Masekela
Best Of MasekelaUni, Late 60s. Very Good+
A compilation of some of Masekela's more famous tunes. Most of the songs are composed by Masekela but they also include tracks like Jobim's "Felicidade" and Webb's "Up-Up & Away". The record contains "Grazing In The Grass", "Coincidence", "Chisa&quo ... LP, Vinyl record album (Global Grooves LP)
Ralph MacDonald
Sound Of A DrumMarlin, 1976. Very Good+
A crucial album from percussionist Ralph MacDonald – a set that not only catapulted him into the limelight, after strong work on countless records for other artists – but a record that also gave Ralph some long-standing fame, thanks to some key groovers on the set! The album's got a ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul LP)
Sugar Hill Gang
Sugar Hill GangSugar Hill, 1979. Very Good+ Gatefold
The eponymous LP by the Sugar Hill Gang – with some of the most infectious late 70s/early 80s grooves ever laid to wax! This is one of the first-ever full-length hip hop albums – cut on the success of the massive "Rapper's Delight" single! The record purports to feature ... LP, Vinyl record album (Hip Hop LP)
Primitivo Y Su Combo
Yo Vuelvo Pa'GosaMary Lou/Salsa, Mid 60s. Used
Heavy! This is a stunning rare album from the mid 60s – and it's got a raw raw sound that's definitely in keeping with the "primitivo" tag in the name of the group! The record kicks off with a monster descarga, driven to a mad mad beat by a rolling piano/conga groove. It then ... CD (Latin CD)

CD (Jazz CD)
Ahmad Jamal
Chamber Music Of The New JazzVerve/Argo, 1955. Used
Beautiful work from Jamal's early Chicago years – and a perfectly titled set that really gets at the differences he made in modern jazz! The tunes are wonderfully fluid, soulful, and swinging – but not in the gutbuckety style of other trios of the time, more in a lightly modern style ... CD (Jazz CD)
John Coltrane
Coltrane – Deluxe EditionImpulse, 1962. Used 2 CDs
One of Coltrane's best early albums for Impulse – a warm set of modally grooving tracks, picking up where My Favorite Things left off! The group here features McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones – perfectly fitting with Coltrane's tenor and soprano sax, and transforming ... CD (Jazz CD)
Max Roach & Clifford Brown
Historic California Concerts 1954Fresh Sound (Spain), 1954. Used
It's hard to overstate the influence of Max Roach and Clifford Brown on the west coast scene of the 50s – as the two players helped draw out the bop sound of LA that was quickly getting lost in the cool jazz shuffle of the time, and gave it a strength and focus that not only made the group ... CD (Jazz CD)
John Coltrane
BahiaPrestige/OJC, Late 50s. Used
An album issued in the years after John Coltrane left the Prestige Records label – but a set that includes some very compelling sounds from the early years, really showing the tenorist in a strongly spiritual transition! Coltrane plays tenor throughout, and the record also features the Red ... CD (Jazz CD)
Moondog
More Moondog/Prestige/OJC, 1956/1957. Used
Incredible work from the enigmatic Moondog – and a great CD that brings together his rare 2nd and 3rd albums for the Prestige label! The work here is quite different than some of Moondog's later, more serious compositions – in a mode that's much earthier, personal, and spontaneous ... CD (Out Sound CD)
Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy
Odyssey Of Funk & Popular Music – Vol 1Birdology/Atlantic, 1997. Used
