Gentle-going genius from the later years of Satchmo's career – a session that has Louis on trumpet and vocals, backed by the Oscar Peterson Trio!

Nina Simone —
Fodder On My Wings ... LP Carrere/Verve, 1982. New Copy ... $22.99 24.99
An overlooked album from the legendary Nina Simone – recorded in Paris in the early 80s, and not circulated as much as some of her records from the 60s and 70s – but every bit as compelling in its own sort of way!

Dianne Reeves —
In the Moment – Live in Concert ... CD Blue Note, 2000. Used ... $3.99
Sweet sophisticated vocals from the great Dianne Reeves – singing here in a beautifully mellow live setting, more stripped-down than on a lot of her other studio albums. The group's very jazz-oriented – and Dianne shines nicely on great versions of "Afro Blue", "Triste&qu ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Lizz Wright —
Salt ... CD Verve, 2003. Used ... $5.99
A sweet young jazz singer – steeped in the traditions of Dee Dee Bridgewater and Dianne Reeves, striking out on her own in a really solid debut album!

Nancy Wilson —
Keep You Satisfied ... CD Columbia, 1986. Used ... $6.99
A great later set from Nancy Wilson – recorded in Japan with arrangements by pianist Masahiko Satoh, but in a warmly glowing mode that's right in step with Nancy's maturing vocal style! The sound is often mellow, but grooves from time to time with a jazzy flourish – kind of an even ... read more CD

(Out of print.)
Maki Asakawa —
Nothing At All To Lose ... LP Universal (Japan), 1988. New Copy (reissue)... $52.99
Japanese singer Maki Asakawa is looking a bit more down to earth than on her 70s albums, and the sound is maybe a bit more in that mode as well – helped out nicely here by American soul artist Bobby Watson – not the jazz musician, but the bassist/keyboardist, who produced the whole set ... (Rock, Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Patti Page —
Indiscretion ... LP Mercury, 1955. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Patti Page at her grown up best – sounding wonderful on this 50s album that shows that she was way more than just a pop singer – and instead a rich-toned vocalist capable of surprisingly great delivery! The backings have a slightly modern edge – not June Christy at Capitol, but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing with deep groove.)
Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 —
Equinox ... LP A&M, 1968. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
The second album by Sergio and crew – and a real push forward for the group!

Frank Sinatra —
My Way ... LP Reprise, 1969. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A standout late 60s set from ol' blue eyes – and a record that gave him one of the last great songs of his career!

Marlena ... LP Blue Note, 1973. Very Good+ ... $19.99

X-Dreams (gold vinyl pressing) ... LP Tomato/Sundazed, 1979. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 24.99

South – Yasuda Minami Live At The Rob Roy ... LP Bellwood (Japan), 1974. Near Mint- ... $39.99
A sweet swinger from this hip Japanese vocalist – one of the groovier talents of that scene in the 70s, and an artist whose name wasn't that well known on our side of the Pacific! The record's got a soulful bounce right from the start – thanks to backings from the trio of pianist ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Modern Sounds In Country & Western Music ... LP ABC, 1962. Sealed ... Just Sold Out!

Ella Fitzgerald with the Tommy Flanagan Trio —
Montreux 77 ... LP Pablo, 1977. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Ella Fitzgerald swings it nicely with the Tommy Flanagan Trio – a small group on the date for backup, but one who give this Montreux performance almost as much bounce as Ella's 70s live dates with a bigger ensemble!
