Katalyst —
Nine Lives ... CD 
Alpha Pup, 2021. Used ... $9.99
Warm jazzy goodness from Katalyst – a west coast group comprised of musicians who normally back bigger names in soul, jazz, and hip hop – but who here work in a vibe that's all their own, on a set of tunes that are improvised freely, yet still have a groove! The music is often spacey ... (Jazz, Deep Funk) read more CD

Television Themes ... CD Acid Jazz (UK), 2018. Used ... $8.99
A fantastic little album from the great Matt Berry – quite different than some of his other records, but in a really great way!

Thee Sacred Souls ... LP 
Daptone, 2022. New Copy ... $23.99 24.99
The extra "e" in the name of Thee Sacred Souls really takes us back – to the legendary Thee Midniters of the scene in east LA – a scene whose sound clearly had a big influence on this contemporary trio! As with the best work of that older generation, there's a heartbreakingly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Orquesta Akokan —
Caracoles (blue vinyl pressing with bonus download) ... LP Daptone, 2024. New Copy ... $24.99 25.99
A contemporary record, but one with a very timeless vibe – music that seems to evoke a vintage Havana, almost in the years before the revolution – as Orquesta Akokan deliver a wicked mix of percussion, basslines, and horns – all topped with fantastic vocals from Kiko Ruiz and a ...

Mr President —
Hips Shaking (with bonus track) ... CD Favorite (France), 2014. Used ... $8.99
The coolest work we've heard so far from this Patchworks side project – a record that fuses together equal parts 70s jazz, funk, and soul – with just the right smattering of global influences as well! There's a tightness to the set that we really love – careful instrumentation ... read more CD
Khruangbin —
Con Todo El Mundo ... LP Dead Oceans, 2018. Near Mint- ... $24.99
A funky combo, but one with a real difference – as they seem to find whole new corners of the globe in which to work their magic – almost an imagined space of cultural criss-crossing, all set to some mighty funky bass and drums! The core element here is the guitar – which echoes ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Carlton Jumel Smith —
1634 Lexington Avenue ... CD Timmion, 2019. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The long-overdue debut of Carlton Jumel Smith – a soul singer with roots at the Harlem address listed in the title, and who's slowly been working his way around the globe in recent years! Those global travels are key to the success of this set – as Smith works very tightly in Finland's ... read more CD
(Cover appears to be signed by the artist.)
Kevin Fingier Collective —
El Sonido De Fingier Records ... CD Fingier/Acid Jazz (UK), 2023. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A really cool collection of cuts that were originally issued as 7" singles in recent years, but which work perfectly together here as a full length set that introduces the world to the deeply funky talents of Kevin Finigier! Kevin hails from Argentina, but has a deep love of American soul and ... read more CD

Lady Blackbird —
Slang Spirituals ... CD BMG (UK), 2024. New Copy ... $12.99 13.99
Soaring, righteous sounds from Lady Blackbird – a set that's even more powerful overall than her previous record – and that's saying a heck of a lot! The set has some numbers that have a gospel-drenched inspiration – rising up and soaring to the heavens – and even the ... (Neo Soul, Deep Funk) read more CD
Also available Slang Spirituals ... LP 26.99
Various —
Krautrock ... LP Funk Night, 2024. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
A set with "Krautrock" in the title – but one that's got a tighter, funkier feel than some of the longer-form work of the early 70s German prog generation! These artists definitely reference that period in music, and make great use of vintage-sounding keyboards, guitars, and other ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Guy Hamper Trio with James Taylor —
Dog Jaw Woman ... LP Damaged Goods (UK), 2024. New Copy ... $20.99 23.99
A funky little record, and one that comes from the surprising late life pairing of garage rock guitarist Billy Childish and Hammond hero James Taylor – both key figures on the UK scene for decades, coming together here in one mighty session of really raw grooves! The music is maybe in the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Penza Penza —
Alto E Primitivo ... LP Funk Night, 2024. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
Raw funky sounds from Penza Penza – maybe one of the best psychedelic funk bands we've ever heard, and for good reason too – given that Misha Panfilov is involved, and really helps the group find their sound! The production is wonderful – all sorts of weird bits and spaces around ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Misha Panfilov —
To The Mesosphere & Beyond ... LP Funk Night, 2024. New Copy ... $16.99 21.99
The spacey sound of the title definitely gets the groove right here – as the funky currents of the great Misha Panfilov are trained on some more cosmic elements than usual – almost as if his group here is trying for the sort of territory you might expect from Sun Ra! The music has lots ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Misha Panfilov Sound Combo —
Astral Schlagers – The Singles Collection ... LP Funk Night, 2019. New Copy (reissue)... $16.99 19.99
Fantastic funk from one of the hippest combos currently working on the planet – the mighty Misha Panfilov Sound Combo, a group who effortlessly blend 70s-style funk with some sweet spacey sounds! The "astral" in the title here is very well-placed – as there's a slightly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(2024 pressing.)
Penza Penza —
Electricolorized ... LP Funk Night, 2023. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
There's plenty of electric colors here – a great blend of the many elements from this large European funk ensemble, all filtered down into a mighty nice groove from Misha Panfilov!

Misha Panfilov —
Plan X ... LP Funk Night, 2022. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
A special sort of project from the great Misha Panfilov, but one that's very much in line with the psychedelic sound of his funky 45s – as the set here is all instrumental, and features tracks recorded by Misha for a stage performance! Yet this is hardly familiar soundtrack music – as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jake Ferguson with Malcolm Catto —
Emotions Run Dry – Madlib Invazion Library Series Vol 2 ... LP Madlib Invazion, 2023. Very Good+ ... $11.99
Maybe the heaviest set of sound library grooves you'll ever hear – but that's probably no surprise, given that the package features some key Heliocentrics elements in the mix – including lots of psychedelic production next to fierce work on drums from Malcolm Catto and Jake Ferguson! ... (Sound Library, Deep Funk) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(NOTE – Vinyl has small clusters of marks that click a bit on "M For Drums" and "Dune".)
Various —
Truth To Power Project (3LP smoky clear vinyl pressing) ... LP Eastwood Music Group, 2021. Near Mint- 3LP ... $9.99
A very cool set from the Texas scene – one that's overflowing with new work by some of the hippest soul, funk, and hip hop artists in the Lonestar State – and a few others too! The set features work from Black Pumas, Leon Bridges, N'Dambi, Sha La Das, Holy Hive, Badbadnotgood, Ghost ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bobby Previte —
Coalition Of The Willing ... CD Ropeadope, 2006. Used ... $5.99
One of the hippest records we've heard in years from drummer Bobby Previte – a record that has him getting some great help from Charlie Hunter, Stanton Moore, and Skerik – yet which also still resonates with some the artier touches of his earlier years as well! Previte's directly here ... (Jazz, Deep Funk) read more CD
Andre Solomko —
Le Deltaplane ... CD Favorite (France), 2018. Used ... $9.99
Great sounds from Andre Solomko – an artist who's been giving us some great 70s-styled music in recent years, and may well have topped himself with this fantastic set! Andre plays alto and soprano sax, in a setting that's got the warm glow of a sweet 70s fusion record – but this time ... read more CD
