An excellent bit of modern soul – a smooth seductive album that fits perfectly with an older mellow groove, but which also sparkles with the best recent efforts of the past decade.

$5.99
As the title says, Lenny White's streamlined his sound here – but to us that's a good thing, as it eliminates some of the overly-heavy jam sound that could ruin earlier records – making for a lean, clean groove that's mighty nice, and plenty darn soulful! Plus, Lenny's working here ... (Jazz) read moreCD

The title says it all – as the CD features 20 of the most "x rated" songs that Serge Gainsbourg ever sung! Apart from being a French pop genius, Serge Gainsbourg's equally famous for being one of the dirtiest old men in music – and on this set, you'll get a real taste of why ... (French) read moreCD
This is (we feel) one of the greatest male jazz vocal albums of the past thirty years. On this, his first album, Cleveland Watkiss sings hard and true jazz, to lyrics that he's written to songs by Monk, Wayne Shorter, and others. We've been listening to this for years, and it's really ... (Vocalists) read moreCD
A classic album from Dave – recorded at Oberlin College, the mid-Ohio haven of bohemiana, and a growing hotbed of jazz activity centered around students in the college's conservatory of music.

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! Moreno plays it cool on most of the record – singing in a spare setting that mixes acoustic ... (Brazil) read moreCD
The French-Afro funky pop sisters return – with a shiny, clubby groove on some tunes, and a deeply percussive, sweetly-orchestrated live instrumental style on others!

A haunting tribute to the late John Coltrane – not just a "friend" of McCoy Tyner, but a key musical partner back in the 60s! The album's a solo piano effort – extremely intimate, but still played with that long-flowing majesty we always love in McCoy – and two of the ... (Jazz) read moreCD
One of the few cases in jazz where an oft-played classic still resonates with power! The record itself is a key cap to Miles Davis' already-groundbreaking years of the 60s – a bold step forward, not just for his nascent electric sound, but also for jazz in general – and the benchmark ...

One of Art Blakey's first true moments of genius!
