Shiroi ... CD 
Black Focus (UK), 2018. New Copy ... $12.99 13.99

Kamaal Williams —
Return ... CD Black Focus, 2018. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
The first solo project from Kamaal Williams – and a wonderfully spiritual set that has the keyboardist really blowing us away with his talents! Williams plays plenty of Fender Rhodes on the set, mostly in a trio setting, but one that's far from standard jazz – as the rhythms often ... (Jazz, New Grooves) read more CD

Feel The Beat – Afro Funk ... CD Big Sur (Italy), 2006. Used ... $8.99
An excellent modern take on the Afro Funk genre of the 70s – one that's filled with work by current groups who really get the classic sound right!

Moreno Veloso + 2 (Domenico/Hannibal/Luaka Bop, 2001. New Copy Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
An incredible album from Moreno Veloso – the son of the famous Caetano, but an artist who's already very much his own man on this classic collaboration with the team of Kassin and Domenico!

Miss Lounge Universe – France ... CD Rambling (Japan), 2003. Used ... $18.99
A great take on recent work from France – one that focuses on tracks that have a quirky and retro approach to the groove, quite different in most places from the more famous house and techno coming out of Paris!
