Grant Green —
Alive! (180 gram pressing) ... LP Blue Note, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
A really fantastic album from guitarist Grant Green – a set that's every bit as great as his other Blue Note funk albums from the time – but in a very different way!

Tyshawn Sorey —
Continuing ... LP PI Recordings, 2023. New Copy 2LP ... $28.99 31.98

Home Brewed ... LP British Progressive Jazz (UK), 1976. New Copy ... $21.99 24.99
A fantastic session from the 70s UK jazz scene, and one that's maybe as important to fans of the Canterbury scene as well – given the unusual legacies of the three players involved!

Midnight Crisp EP ... LP First Word (UK), 2022. New Copy ... $22.99 24.99
A set that furthers Takuya Kuroda's experiments in pushing farther past the jazz of his roots – still graced with plenty of strong trumpet work and bold solo lines – but amidst rhythms that have a nice complexity, and which really push the envelope at times – mostly played live, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ariel ... LP Pick Up/Jazz Room (UK), 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 28.99
Brazilian fusion from Denmark – a really wonderful set from this cool Scandinavian combo!

Everything Happens To Me (180 gram purple vinyl pressing) ... LP Timeless/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1983. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 34.99
Chet Baker blows trumpet here with one of the tightest rhythm sections of his later albums – a killer trio led by pianist Kirk Lightsey, who also gets in some great solos here too!

Montreux Alexander – Live! At The Montreux Festival (green vinyl pressing) (2024 Record Store Day Release) ... LP MPS (Germany), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $31.99
A stone classic from pianist Monty Alexander – a live date recorded for MPS in the mid 70s, and a set with even more fire than his studio sides for the label!
