Dave Pike —
Manhattan Latin ... CD Verve, 1964. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A real lost chapter in the career of vibist Dave Pike – an obscure one-off Latin session recorded for Decca in the mid 60s! The album was done in the years between Pike's first few early jazz sides and his later tripped-out sessions for MPS and Vortex – and features Dave leading a ... (Jazz, Latin) read more CD

Dalecarlia Recordings 1971 to 1972 ... CD Mellotronen (Sweden), Early 70s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Mindblowing work from the legendary Latin percussionist Sabu Martinez – some extremely heavy sides recorded overseas during his time on the Swedish scene in the 70s, some of which are appearing here for the first time ever!

Kako Y Su Combo Vol 2 ... CD Alegre, 1962. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Classic early stuff by Kako, and a record that was released right around the time of his Tribute To Noro Morales.

A killer collection of champeta work from the Caribbean coast of Colombia – music that still has plenty of local touches, but also shares a lot with African imports of the time – a really unique little hybrid that makes for plenty of heavy rhythms! The sound is quite unique – a ... read more CD

Spanish Harlem Orchestra Featuring Ruben Blades —
Across 110th Street ... CD Libertad, 2004. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The second album from Spanish Harlem Orchestra – an ensemble of veteran Latin players who groove with a really classic sound!

Chollo Rivera & The Latin Soul Drives —
By Chollo ... CD Cotique, 1969. Used ... Just Sold Out!
An obscure classic from the Latin Soul generation – the standout set recorded by the young Chollo Rivera and his strangely-named group The Latin Drives! The set's got equal parts soul and equal parts Latin – in a way that's similar to some of Joe Bataan's albums for Fania from the same ... read more CD

Ralfi Pagan —
Ralfi Pagan ... CD Fania, Late 60s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The first album by the king of falsetto Latin soul! Ralfi sang in a beautiful souful way that presaged the style that most of the later east coast male vocal groups would take up, with lots of high notes, and a good weepy sound – alternating lyrics in Spanish and English. Nice Latin ... read more CD

Pete Rodriguez —
Latin Soul Man ... CD Alegre, 1969. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of the rarest albums by Pete Rodriguez – and key set of music well deserving of the title Latin Soul Man!

Two great lost titles from the Atlantic jazz catalog of the 60s!

One of our favorite Latin jazz albums ever – and a truly amazing record!

One of the sweeeeet club groovers recorded by Joe Bataan in the the early 80s – and an album that has a bit more of a disco feel than before, but which still stays firmly in the Latinized Salsoul sound that Bataan helped to forge and name!
