Pete Jolly —
Seasons (clear amber vinyl pressing) ... LP 
A&M/Future Days, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 29.99
One of our favorite-ever keyboard albums – a rare lost session from pianist Pete Jolly – one of his only electric dates, and a completely improvised set of grooves! Pete plays electric piano, organ, and even a bit of musette – jamming in the studio with help from Chuck Berghofer ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Seasons (clear green vinyl pressing) ... LP 26.99(A beautiful clear amber vinyl pressing – remastered by Kevin Gray from the original tapes!)
Ananda Shankar —
Sa Re Ga Machan ... LP Life Goes On, 1981. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 28.99
A great bit of jungle exotica from funky sitar player Ananda Shankar – composed as a full piece with an "atmosphere of twilight and the feeling of watching animals at a water hole", but with a sweeping soundtracky feel that makes it more like some lost 70s film gem in the best ...

Xavier Cugat —
Xavier Cugat Today ... LP Decca, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Very groovy stuff from Cugie! It's the late 60s, and he's got more of a pop Latin groove than earlier – and lays down some nice peppy covers of pop material, plus a few other Latin standards. Not exactly Latin soul – but not that far off, either. Includes a great version of "Samb ... (Latin, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(60s Stereo pressing. Cover has light aging, tiny bottom seam split.)
Guido & Maurizio DeAngelis —
Welcome ... LP Private Stock, 1977. Sealed ... $7.99

Ramon Somohana —
Bossa Nova ... LP Palace, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Burt Bacharach —
Portrait In Musik (aka Hit Maker!) ... LP Kapp/Vogue (Germany), 1965. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A great batch of early work from Burt Bacharach – one of the first albums to be issued under his own name, and proof that Mr B was head and shoulders above most of the other arrangers and composers of his time! At some level, the style here is a bit more traditional than some of Burt's later ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(60s pressing in the original PVC sleeve. Vinyl has light sleeve marks. Cover has some pen on the back.)
Johnny Richards —
Experiments In Sound ... LP Capitol, 1958. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Wonderful stuff from one of the most overlooked arrangers of the 50s! Richards was Stan Kenton's right hand man at one time – and he's got a style that mixes jazz and modernism in the same style as Pete Rugolo, but with a bit more of a commitment to swinging. This rare 1958 set for Capitol ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono rainbow label pressing. Cover has some ringwear and yellowed tape at the seams.)

Prevailing Airs ... LP Philips, 1969. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $4.99
... LP, Vinyl record album

Mason Williams —
Sharepickers ... LP Warner, 1971. Near Mint- ... $4.99
The last album in an amazing run of records that Mason Williams did for Warner Brothers – impossible to define in easy terms, as the whole thing is a mix of acoustic instrumentation, larger arrangements, occasional vocals, and this wonderful interplay between underground artists and top-shelf ... (Rock, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cut corner, light ringwear, some edge wear, and bumped corners.)
Various —
Greasy Mike At The Beatnik Cafe ... LP Jazzman (UK), Late 1950s/Early 1960s. New Copy ... $22.99 28.99
Greasy Mike takes on postwar hipness this time around – on a whole set of tracks that either parody beatnik culture, or embrace it fully – served up in a weird and wonderful blend of tunes in jazz, rock, Latin, and other hip styles from the late 50s and early 60s! The set follows the ... (Rock, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Greasy Mike Gets The Giggles – 14 Frantic Flippers Fraught With Frivolous Fun-Filled Frolics ... LP Jazzman (UK), Late 50s/Early 60s. New Copy ... $22.99 25.99
Weird and wild novelty numbers from the glory days of the 7" single – tunes that are mostly rockers, but which also show all the cool and unusual ways that folks were experimenting with new styles and studio modes, then putting the results on a two to three minute 45rpm chunk of vinyl ...

Arthur Lyman —
Love For Sale (Picc-A-Dilly pressing) ... LP Hi Fi/Piccadilly, 1963. Sealed ... $9.99
A record that boasts a strange image of Arthur Lyman on the front – one that almost makes him look a bit thuggish, despite the affection promised in the title! (A bit of rough trade, perhaps?) The tunes themselves are a love-centered batch of exotic instrumentals – most with "love ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s Picc-A-Dilly pressing, still sealed with a cut corner.)
Ernest Maxin Orchestra —
Great Themes From Great Movies ... LP Riverside, 1962. Very Good ... $0.99

... LP, Vinyl record album

Henry Mancini —
Symphonic Soul ... LP RCA, 1975. Very Good ... $5.99
One of Henry Mancini's grooviest LPs from the 70s – a mixture of tight large arrangements with a smooth funky edge, similar to some of his best soundtrack work at the time! The rhythm section is great – with Harvey Mason on drums and Joe Sample on keyboards, and guitar by David T ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover is great!)
Pat Williams —
Threshold ... LP Capitol, 1973. Very Good+ ... $3.99
Nice stuff from Pat Williams! Although known for mostly groovy 60s stuff (ala his legendary Verve and soundtrack work), this album features Williams hitting more of a 70s jazz funk groove, with a nice electric edge. The tracks are long, and the solos are played by Tom Scott and Marvin Stamm ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a spot of wear at the bottom, but is nice overall!)
Arthur Lyman —
Taboo (Picc-A-Dilly pressing) ... LP Hi Fi/Piccadilly, Late 50s. Sealed ... $9.99
One of Arthur Lyman's first LPs –- a brilliant set of percussively grooving tracks, modulated at a low tempo, and recorded in the Henry J. Kaiser aluminum dome in Hawaii with a sound that inspired countless other exotic groups. Art plays vibes, and is augmented by percussion and piano, plus ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s pressing on Picc-A-Dilly, still sealed with large and small cutout holes at the top right corner.)
Sandy Nelson —
Drums A Go Go (green vinyl pressing) ... LP Imperial/Sundazed, 1965. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 26.99
Drums galore from the great Sandy Nelson – an artist who was one of the most hard-burning talents on the kit, back in the day – with a propulsive quality that makes a record like this take off right from the very first note! As with so many of Sandy's instrumental classics from back ... (Rock, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
