Groundbreaking work from the Spencer Davis Group – the first edition of the combo, with a young Steve Winwood on vocals – heard here on 37 tracks that comprise both the a and b-side recordings of a huge run of early singles! There's a wonderful transformation over the course of the records here – as the group gets even more soulful, starts shaking off some of the rougher sounds of their roots, and really hitting a tremendously tight sound! Steve Winwood was really at the height of his powers here – singing at a level to rival any of the best blue-eyed American soul singers of the 60s, with a raspy edge that comes through the spare arrangements beautifully. Drums are nice and tight, handled by Pete York – and the cool thing about the set is that the b-sides are often some very interesting cuts that really expand the group's sound. Titles include "Dust My Blues", "Gimme Some Loving", "Neighbour Neighbour", "Stevie's Groover", "Blues In F", "Sittin & Thinkin", "Strong Love", "It Hurts Me So", "This Hammer", "Keep On Running", "Take This Hurt Off Me", "Searchin", "Time Seller", "Hey Darling", "On The Green Light", and "Goodbye Stevie". CD

One of the best records ever by Sylvia Telles – a very tight set of bossa grooves, with some warm and complicated arrangements by the great Moacir Santos! Santos' influence on the session is felt especially on the tracks that feature him soloing on alto and flute – adding in some dark edges that work wonderfully with Sylvia's vocals, and really transform familiar tunes into strange new versions. The whole thing's got a sense of depth that's right up there with the best Elenco work of the 60s – a much more sophisticated take on the bossa than you'd hear from American sessions at the time. Titles include "Samba Do Aviao", "Dorme", "Rio", "Vagamente", "Amor E Paz", and "Voce E Eu". LP, Vinyl record album

Legendary early Sylvia Telles bossa session, recorded in the US, with accompaniment by Barney Kessel, Bill Hitchcock, and Calvin Jackson. The set's got a good jazzy feel, and Sylvia's voice is nice and strong, as on her best early recordings. The record's a darn tough one to find (we've never seen it before), and this reissue is a beautiful looking package! Tracks include "Manha De Carnaval", "Amor Sem Adeus", "Imaginacao", "Tra La La La La", "Meu Mundo E Voce", and "Cancao Que Morre No Ar". LP, Vinyl record album

Produced by Abe Voco Kesh – with a lot of added bass and drums mixed into the core trio! LP, Vinyl record album

Fantastic work by one of our favorite Brazilian singers! Geraldo Vandre's work pre-dated the young MPB/Tropicalia generation that included Caetano, Gal Costa, and Gilberto Gil – but even in those days, he wrote with a complicated approach and sophisticated style that spoke volumes of the years to come in Brazilian music. By the time of this 1970 session, Vandre's talents are in full bloom – and although he may be eclipsed by some of the other exiled giants from the same time, this album's a masterpiece in the Brazilian singer/songwriter tradition, and Vandre's voice is fantastic! Recorded in Paris, and featuring the tracks "Bandeira Branca", "Sarabanda", "De America", "Vem, Vem", and "Na Terra Como No Ceu". LP, Vinyl record album

A stunning compilation of work by the great Scott Walker – one that focuses exclusively on his own compositions, and which has been remastered and repackaged with full lyrics to the songs! The selection is impeccable, and includes most of the best tracks from Scott's first five albums – plus the rare "The Plague", which was only ever issued as a b-side to a single during the 60s! Other tracks include "The Bridge", "Little Things (That Keep Us Together)", "The Amorous Humphrey Plugg", "Time Operator", "The War Is Over", "Copenhagen", "Plastic Palace People", "The Girls From The Streets", "Big Louise", "The Seventh Seal", "Montague Terrace", "Such A Small Love", "The Old Man's Back Again", "Angels Of Ashes", "Prologue", and "We Came Through". CD

A record that's way better than you might guess – and a key document of the creative orchestrations of the great John Dankworth! The set features tunes inspired by the writings of Charles Dickens – but the writing and interpretation is 60s modern all the way through – thanks to a crack lineup that includes Tubby Hayes and Dick Morriseey on tenors, Ronnie Ross on baritone, Tony Coe on clarinet, Kenny Wheeler and Jimmy Deuchar on trumpets, and Dankworth himself on some mighty nice alto! The session swings strongly – and surprisingly nice solos dart out amidst the otherwise goofy concept of the record – thanks to Dankworth's hand for a good arrangement and a nice sense of swing! Titles include "Weller Never Did", "The Prologue", "Ghosts", "The Artful Dodger", and "Dodson & Fogg". LP, Vinyl record album

One of our favorite-ever Miles Davis albums – even if it is a soundtrack that he recorded in France! The CD issue of this material features a whopping 20 minutes of extra material, for a total of 26 moody jazz tracks that were originally recorded for the French film Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud (Elevator To The Gallows). Miles recorded this material during late-night post-gig sessions with a great group that includes French players Barney Wilen, Rene Urtreger, and Pierre Michelot, plus American ex-patriot Kenny Clarke. Wilen's playing is fantastic, and it's great to hear him and Miles together on the score's spooky meandering passages. Titles include "Nuit Sur Les Champs-Elysees", "Assassinat", "Le Petit Bal", and "Au Bar Du Petit Bac". Great stuff, and one of the best jazz soundtracks ever! CD

An incredible collaboration between Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot – one of Serge's first duet albums ever – and a gem all the way through! In the year before he cut "Je T'aime Moi Non Plus" with Jane Birkin, Serge recorded this great album with Brigitte Bardot in which he worked out many of the same ideas. The album is probably best known for the track "Bonnie & Clyde" – which has been sampled to great fame over the years – but there's loads of other great tracks on here, with a mix of styles that joins Serge's jazzy years with his softcore 70s work – very cool, very groovy, and years ahead of its time. Some tracks are duets, and some are sung individually by Serge or Brigitte, but they're all great, and titles include "Intoxicated Man", "L'eau A La Bouche", "Un Jour Comme Un Autre", "Comic Strip", and more! Arrangements by Alain Gourager, Michel Colombier, and Claude Bolling – and the cover's got a great shot of Serge & BB as Bonnie & Clyde! LP, Vinyl record album

Cool 60s work from Cleo Laine – featuring accompaniment from Brit sound library giant David Lindup – and tunes that include "Woman Talk", "Peel Me A Grape", "Fascinating Rhythm", "Bidin My Time", "Autumn Love", and "Love In Summer" – the last two of which were written by John Dankworth! LP, Vinyl record album

A crucial live set from Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers – recorded in Paris during that formative year of 1958, when Art was starting to put together the lineup that would make the Messengers a legend! Both the young Lee Morgan and Bobby Timmons are in the group, on trumpet and piano respectively – and Benny Golson handles tenor, and brings a sharp modern sense of arrangement to the music that would forever open up Art's sound! Jymie Merritt's on bass next to Blakey's drums – and the tracks are long, and have that live performance bite that makes Messengers concert recordings from this time so great. Titles include "Moanin", "Justice", "Whisper Not", "Blues March", and "I Remember Clifford". CD

A fantastic live set from Art Blakey – recorded in Paris in 1960, with a version of the Jazz Messengers that includes Lee Morgan on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on tenor, Walter Davis Jr on piano, and Jymie Merritt on bass! Best of all, though, is that the group is joined by two Paris jazz giants on two tracks – the great saxophonist Barney Wilen on tenor, and American ex-patriot Bud Powell – who was doing some of his best work in Paris at the time, and sits in on the keys instead of Davis. Wilen's incredible tone sounds great next to Shorter's horn – and all the tracks are long enough to give all soloists plenty of room to move around. Titles include "The Midget", "Bouncing With Bud", and "Dance of The Infidels". CD

One of the greatest non-blue Note albums ever recorded by Art Blakey in the early days – an album that was originally only ever issued in France, as the material here was done for a great new wave film directed by Roger Vadim! The vibe here is nicely different than some of the more familiar Blue Note albums of the time – in part because the set is a soundtrack, done in a spirit similar to the great Miles Davis French soundtrack of the same period – but also because the album features a very special appearance from the young tenor star Barney Wilen – a key player on the French scene who'd also shown up on Miles' soundtrack, and who's equally great here with Blakey! The rest of the group echoes the Jazz Messengers of the period – with Lee Morgan on trumpet, Bobby Timmons on piano, and Jymie Merritt on bass – players who do a nice job of linking the album to other Blakey work. There's also one track that's just a trio number, and another that has Blakey playing with a quartet that features Barney Wilen on soprano and Duke Jordan on piano. Titles include the classic "No Problem", and the related "No Hay Problema" – plus "Weehawken Mad Pad", "Valmontana", and "Miguel's Party". CD

A crackling hard batch of tracks from 60s sax giant Tubby Hayes – and the kind of record that will dispel any doubts you've ever had about British jazz scene! Hayes is at the prime of his form here, and he wails on tenor, soprano, and vibes – along with his great quintet that included Gordon Beck and Jimmy Deuchar. The set's fantastic, and the kind of album that you'd swear was on Blue Note, if you didn't hear a British voice announcing the tracks – and the energy and vitality of the group is apparent on every track – working with an intensity that rivals the best work on American labels at the time! Tracks include "Yeah!", "Half A Sawbuck", and "The Sausage Scraper". CD

... LP, Vinyl record album

A folk funk masterpiece from Korea – sung with breathy brilliance by female singer Kim Jung Mi, and featuring some great fuzzy backgrounds from guitarist Shin Jung Hyun! Although not in English, the record has a very similar feel to some of the hippest British female work of the same period – a style that takes older folk styles and gives them a trippier, more psychedelic twist – largely through the use of echoey production that makes the voice sound all flanged-out next to the guitar, but also through some spacious arrangements that give most of the record a nicely floating sort of feel! Titles are all in Korean, as are the lyrics – but the record's got an undeniably universal appeal. This excellent vinyl reissue from Lion includes English translations of the titles! They include "Wind", "Spring","Unknowingly", "Your Dream", Blow Spring Breeze" and more. 10 tracks in all. LP, Vinyl record album

The brilliant debut LP of British tenorist Dick Morrissey – one of England's strongest players of the 60s, as you'll hear in this crackling set! The album features Morrissey working in a quartet – playing the tenor in a manner that's got all the liveliness and warmth of a player like Ronnie Scott or Tubby Hayes, but which also has a slightly angular quality in the tone, almost in the mode of some of the Tristano-ites, especially Warne Marsh. The writing is very inventive – and the tracks have a confident driving tone that's quite refreshing all the way through. Titles include "A Bench In The Park", "Sanctity", "Mildew", "Happy Feet", "Jellyroll", and "Gurney Was Here". LP, Vinyl record album

Not the 60s album titled Blues Etude – but a 70s Japanese album that features that track, plus "Meditation", "Call Me", "Autumn Leaves", "Misty", "Moanin", and "Shadow Of Your Smile". LP, Vinyl record album

... 7-inch, Vinyl record

Amazing! Although Scott Walker had issued one solo album before this one, Scott 2 is the record that really has his true genius beginning to shine through! The record still features Scott singing dark moody takes on 60s pop tunes – like "Best Of Both Worlds" and "Black Sheep Boy" – plus the usual round of Brel tunes – including "Jackie" and "The Girls & The Dogs", but it's also got some of his best songwriting ever, etched out in incredible original compositions like "The Amorous Humphrey Plugg", "The Girls From The Streets", and "Plastic Palace People". Those three songs alone might have been enough if Scott had stopped there in his career – as they're perfectly realized visions that match the world of Brecht, Bergman, and Sartre he'd been steeping himself in. Orchestrations are sublime on all tracks, and the record's one we'll treasure forever! CD

Produced in coordination with Amnesty International. Music from Johnny Cash, Raphael Saadiq, Rise Against, Pete Townshend, Bettye Lavette, Brett Dennen, Ziggy Marley, My Morning Jacket, Sting, Steve Earle & Lucia Micarelli, Joan Baez, Joe Perry, Sinead O Connor & more. CD

Sweet sweet work from Jane Birkin – an early solo set that steps strongly off of her classic duets with Serge Gainsbourg! In a way, this album's as much a record by Serge as it is by Jane – since Serge wrote almost all the tracks, and since the arrangements are handled by the legendary Jean-Claude Vannier – who worked famously with Gainsbourg on Melody Nelson and other funky recordings! The set's got a slow, sexy, funky vibe – very similar to the Gainsbourg/Vannier collaborations – and maybe even sexier, given the way that Jane Birkin handles her breathy vocals. There's some sweet guitar bits that go great with Jane's delivery of the material – and the whole thing's an essential part of the Gainsbourg/Birkin canon. Tracks include "Help Camionneur!", "Banana Boat", "Kawasaki", "Leur Plaisir Sans Moi", and "Les Capotes Anglaises". CD

Excellent jazz from French soundtracks of the late 50s! The bulk of the set is taken up with Art Blakey's wornderful score to the film Des Femmes Disparaissent – which features work by Jazz Messengers Lee Morgan, Bobby Timmons, and Benny Golson, recorded in Paris in 1958, with a hip swinging hardbop sound. These tracks make up 17 titles on the CD – with songs that include "Mambo Dans La Voiture", "Merlin", "Tom", "Nasol", and "Blues Pour Vava", plus a few solo drum tracks that are really great! 4 more tracks are from the rare ep-only soundtrack to Les Tricheurs – played by a Jazz At The Philharmonic group that includes Stan Getz, Oscar Peterson, Coleman Hawkins, and Roy Eldridge. Tracks on those numbers include "Les Tricheurs", "Phil's Tune", and "Mic's Jump". CD

A great European repackaging of the Jazz Immortal album by Clifford Brown – one that includes a very groovy cover! The set features seminal west coast recordings by Brown – recorded in LA in 1954, with a mixture of hard bop and lyricism, in that sparkling mode that Brownie left as his indelible imprint on the west coast scene of the 50s! Players include Bob Gordon on baritone, Stu Williamson on trombone, Zoot Sims on tenor, and Russ Freeman on piano – and Jack Montrose arranged the set. Titles include "Tiny Capers", "Bones For Jones", "Joy Spring", "Finders Keepers", and "Daahoud". LP, Vinyl record album

One of Oscar Brown's great ones, recorded live at the Cellar Door in Washington before an enthusiastic crowd of hipsters! The record's a beautiful mix of soul, jazz, and folk – in the same Chicago tradition that spawned Terry Callier (although Brown's style has a bit more of a "show" feel to it). There's a lot of great stuff on here, and most of it doesn't appear on Oscar's other albums in studio versions. Tracks include "Call of the City", "Muffled Drums", "Maxine", "Brother Where Are You?", and more! Backing's by a tight little combo that includes Floyd Morris and Phil Upchurch – and this CD has a very groovy little gatefold package! CD

A landmark meeting of two Brazilian generations – important songwriter Dorival Caymmi, the man who introduced a new sense of poetry to Brazilian music – and the great Antonio Carlos Jobim, the man who revolutionized the world with his bossa nova arrangements! This set has a nicely lean vibe – the best Elenco Records style, served up with Jobim's sense of space and timing – as a perfect match for the vocals of Caymmi, who maybe sounds his best in this mode! There's lots of jazzy instrumentation on the set too – including great work on flute from Danilio Caymmi and guitar from the young Dori Caymmi – both soon to become big talents on their own. Nana Caymmi sings a bit too (her first on record?) – and titles include "Sem Voce", "Berimbau", "Tristeza De Nos Dois", "Vae De Vez", and "Das Rosas". LP, Vinyl record album

A fantastic set of tracks recorded during Gal's best years! This set was originally issued as 2LP set in 1975 – and it brings together lots of her finest moments from the early days – including the Tropicalia years! It includes a huge amount of tracks that were difficult to find for years in the years before CDs, and were pretty tough to track down on CD, too! 24 tracks in all, including "London, London", "Candeias", "Divino, Maravilhoso", "Voce Nao Entende Nada", "Falsa Baiana:, "Relance", "Que Pena", "Baby", "Barato Total", "Nao Identificado", "Meu Nome E Gal", "Avarandado", "Flor De Maracuja" and many more! LP, Vinyl record album

Stellar early 70s work from John Dankwork – in a 2CD set! Full Circle is simply one of the greatest albums we've ever heard from the Brit maestro – a big band album as in earlier years, but one done with lots of hip 70s touches! The feel here is halfway between that of sound library grooving and some of the larger group 70s sessions on MPS – often funky at times, but with freshly modern solo work that breaks out from the larger ensemble nicely to accentuate the mood of the tunes. Players include Alan Branscombe on vibes, John Taylor on piano, Joe Moretti on guitar, and Kenny Wheeler on trumpet – and tunes include Mike Vickers' "Eleven Plus", Mike Gibbs' "A Family Joy" and "Triple Portrait", Keith Jarrett's "Grow Your Own", and Dankworth's "Academy One" and "Earthman". Also features a nice bass-y take on "You Are Too Beautiful". Lifeline is another great one – also reminding us of some of the larger MPS projects of the same time. The tracks have a bit of an electric glow in the basswork and production, but the main focus is on acoustic big band grooving – with breakout solos, and some tighter ensemble passages. Includes the sweet suite "Lifeline", which has a few funky moments – plus"Tomorrow's World", "WRVR", and "Fighting The Flab". Players include Don Rendell, Tony Hymas, Ken Gibson, and Dankworth himself. CD

This one appears to include some moments from the Black Orpheus soundtrack, but it's also got "Outros Successos De Antonio Carlos Jobim e Vinicius De Moraes com A Lyra De Xopoto" – all of which is to say that you'll hear some familiar themes from the film, done in a similar style, with lots of heavy percussion, ensemble instruments playing the melodies. Titles include "O Nosso Amor", "Brigas, Nunca Mais", "Chega De Saudade", "Serenata Do Adeus", and "Frevo". We're not sure if all the tracks were in the soundtrack, but the lineup's different than the American issue of the score, and all the tracks have the same sort of recording quality.

A pair of late Bud Powell albums – brought together here in a single set! First up is Blues For Bouffemont – wonderful late work from pianist Bud Powell – recorded in France, where Bud seemed to do all of his best recordings in the early 60s! The setting is a trio – with Art Taylor on drums and Michel Gaudry on bass – but as always in such a mode, Powell has a way of opening the tunes up wonderfully – exploring the boppish currents that he first helped unveil years before, but also showing a newfound lyricism that makes us wonder what strong role Bud would have played on the European scene, had he survived into the 70s! Titles include "Una Noche Con Francis", "Like Someone In Love", "Blues For Bouffemont", "Moose The Mooche", "Little Willie Leaps", and "My Old Flame". CD also features bonus tracks with a second trio – "I Know That You Know", "Star Eyes", and "There Will Never Be Another You". Next is Hot House – maybe the last album that Bud Powell ever recorded with a horn player – and a fantastic one too – as the set features tremendous work from rising tenor genius Johnny Griffin! The setting is a live one – with Guy Hayat on bass and Jacques Gervais on drums – and the group open up wonderfully to provide this really crispy setting that brings out the best in Griffin's tone – that amazing edge that he always had right from the start, but which really seemed to come into focus even more strongly during this stretch overseas! Some tracks are nice and long – especially versions of "Wee", "John's Abbey", and "Straight No Chaser" – alongside tunes that include "Bean & The Boys", "Move", and "Salt Peanuts". CD

A huge leap forward for The Pretty Things – a really dramatic move away from the rougher blues of their debut, into some very hip swinging London sounds of the 60s! There's still a gritty undercurrent here, but the music is much more British overall – a bit like the shift The Who made in their first few records, with some mod themes and instrumentation, but a lurking specter of older American work hiding in the background. The guitars and drums are plenty loud, and the album's got a really fierce kind of feel – a sinister edge that's totally great, and which shows that the group are a lot more powerful when speaking from their own point of view than that of a US bluesman. Titles include "Buzz The Jerk", "Get The Picture", "I Had A Dream", "I Want Your Love", "London Town", "Cry To Me", "Gonna Find A Substitute", and "Can't Stand The Pain". CD

Incredible work from the great Ronnie Scott! This gem of an album is rare as hen's teeth – and it captures Scott in all of his 60s glory, working between bop and modernist idioms, swinging hard as a mofo when he wanted to, but also taking time out for some wonderfully introspective solos. The record features Scott in two settings – one with a quartet (including either Ernest Ranglin on guitar or Stan Tracey on piano), the other with a larger group that features Scott as the main soloist. In either setting, though, Ronnie smokes – turning out some of the best recorded solos of his career, blowing with an intensity that matches that of 60s playing by Americans like Johnny Griffin or Sonny Stitt. Titles include "Treat It Lightly", "All About Ronnie", "They Can't Convince Me", "Sweet Lotus Blossom", and "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes". CD

A rare Fontana LP from the mid 60's – an obscure European session, cut by a crack quartet of New York avant gardists John Tchicai, Archie Shepp, Don Moore, and J.C. Moses. The sound of the record closely resembles the contemporary recordings by the New York Contemporary Five and New York Art Quartet, with lots of space, lots of warm solo passages, and a restrained "new thing" style that never gets too free or too indulgent. The LPs includes the tracks "Rufus", "Nettus", "Hoppin", and "Funeral". Great stuff, and not easily reissued elsewhere! LP, Vinyl record album

A nice little compilation of work by Caetano – featuring tunes pulled from the late 70s and early 80s, not his most crazy or striking years, but a time when he was really pulling himself together, and recording some incredibly well-written songs. Titles include "Odara", "O Quereres", "Beleza Pura", "Eclipse Oculto", "Qualquer Coisa", "Luz Do Sol", "Sampa", and "Lua E Estrela". LP, Vinyl record album

A stunning compilation of work by the great Scott Walker – one that focuses exclusively on his own compositions, and which has been remastered and repackaged with full lyrics to the songs! The selection is impeccable, and includes most of the best tracks from Scott's first five albums – plus the rare "The Plague", which was only ever issued as a b-side to a single during the 60s! Other tracks include "The Bridge", "Little Things (That Keep Us Together)", "The Amorous Humphrey Plugg", "Time Operator", "The War Is Over", "Copenhagen", "Plastic Palace People", "The Girls From The Streets", and "We Came Through". LP, Vinyl record album

A brilliant testament to the songwriting genius of Scott Walker – and an incredibly haunting batch of original tunes, filled with images of lonely madness and unactualized emotion, all sung by one of the greatest voices of the century! The album's not a record to be taken lightly – as the Scott Walker approach to music is really over the top here – almost mini-movies in sound, pasted from scenes both epic and private – all held together by an impeccable set of arrangements! The style beautifully links Walker's older pop persona with the growing sophistication in European pop – especially from the French – and with a record like this, Scott easily matches the genius of Brel, Brassens, and Gainsbourg. All titles are originals – and titles include "Rhymes Of Goodbye", "The Old Man's Back Again", "Hero Of The War", "Boy Child", "Seventh Seal", and "On Your Own Again". CD

Includes tracks by Elis Regina, Maria Bethania, Rita Lee, Egberto Gismonti, Caetano Veloso, Maysa, and more. LP, Vinyl record album

Early genius from the great Martin Carthy – the kind of set that had a huge influence on the acid folk generation to come, and one that also marks the start of a huge amount of contributions Carthy would make to the UK scene! The album is spare, with just Martin on vocals and guitar – and additional accompaniment from frequent partner Dave Swarbrick on fiddle and mandolin – both instruments used occasionally, but in really great ways. The production is wonderful – that eerie sound that makes so many of the UK folk sets so different than American ones of the 60s – and titles include "Springhill Mine Disaster", "Scarborough Fair", "Lovely Joan", "The Handsome Cabin Boy", "High Germany", and "The Trees They Do Grow High". LP, Vinyl record album

A classic set of jazz vocals from Blossom Dearie – recorded at Ronnie Scott's nightclub when she was living in London during the 60s! The set's got a nice intimate feel, and is one of Blossom's best-ever jazz recordings – a bit more live and hip than some of her Verve material, with backing from Jeff Clyne on bass and Johnnie Butts n drums. The record has little of the cocktail sound that marred some of her other releases, and more of the swinging jazz piano and vocals that you find on her best work. Blossom's voice is as unique as always, and the set's got some great groovy numbers, like "I'm Hip", "Once Upon A Summertime", "When In Rome", and "The Shape Of Things". Very nice vibe, with a good live feel and lots of interaction with the audience! CD features the bonus track "Cornflower Lavender Wallflower Blue (mono)". CD

The first in a series of groundbreaking collaborations between a young Elis Regina and Jair Rodrigues – one of Elis' first big albums ever, recorded live before a very enthusiastic crowd! The set's a mix of bossa and samba numbers – often sung in duet mode by Elis and Jair – trading lines back and forth with a tremendous sense of energy – although some tracks have each artist stepping out strongly on their own.
