Given the popularity of all three rhythms listed in the title, it's no surprise that Tito would think of them as his "loves" – especially since they'd all helped spur on new energy in Latin music! But over and above the rhythms, the album itself is one of Tito's greatest from the ... LP, Vinyl record album (Latin LP)

Ray Parker steps out here with the other woman – with a groove that's somewhat different than his earlier sound with Raydio! There's a slightly sharper edge than before – almost a rockish influence in some of the instrumentation, which is a key factor in helping Parker's crossover in ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul LP)

Sublime late live work from Bill Evans – a well-recorded performance for French radio, and one that really stands out from some of the scratchier late 70s concerts on the market!

This set features 12 of Deon's great soul work recorded with Ollie for the Detroit-based Carla label from the 60s – and they're ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul LP)

Bracingly modern work from trumpeter Don Ellis – recorded quite early in his career, long before he broke out with his funkier big band of the late 60s and early 70s! The Ellis heard here is a clear-headed, fresh-thinking player – one who's keenly aware of the changes going on in jazz ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)

A mini disco symphony from Norman Whitfield and Undisputed Truth – just the kind of track to make us get up and go down to the clubs! The tune is a great extension of the righteous Whitfield sound forged back at Motown – deepened here a bit and extended into the disco years, but still ... 12-inch, Vinyl record (Soul 12-inch)

A collection of work from the short-lived Gherkin Records – a late 80s Chicago house label that wasn't nearly as well-known as Trax or DJ International, but who produced some great work nonetheless!

Proof that even a tiger can change his stripes! The album's a rare instrumental outing from Denny McLain – a 60s pitching star on the Detroit Tigers, but also a heck of a nice little organ player in a small combo setting!

Excellent American release from the brilliant Brazilian fusion outfit Azymuth.
