That I have only discovered this masterpiece now is a mystery. An album release by the man of many names, Klaus Netzle, with a microchip, computer and a glass of red wine on the cover, it must have something unique on...

Strong line up here with Kristian Schulze, Jade Warrior and many other ambient heads recording for German electronics label Erdenklang. Record is a lot more 'upbeat' than you would guess at first sight. Overall a reco...

Only on German experimental label Erdenklang you'll find records with an artist playing his distuned violin while adding sampled voices of spectators at an Texan baseball match. Madness but somehow it works. Sometimes...

Not an easy find on vinyl, this Japanese ambient electro masterpiece is a highly recommended pick. Musically it moves from oriental meditative sounds to upbeat synth. Another Erdenklang must hear release. Unplayed copy!

Stunning original German Vogue 1st pressing with heavy vinyl and open cardboard cover. Musically, the soul jazz harpist Jonny Teupen's debut is an enjoayble listen that works from upbeat mod soul to mellow scat vocal ...

Truly wonderful vocal jazz with Karin Krog backed by a very strong line up including Kenny Drew, NHOP, Jon Christensen and Jan Garbarek. Not one bad tune and Karin's heartful vocals are perfectly fitted to the mellow ...

A near mint CBS 1st pressing of this German jazz masterpiece is a seriously hard catch. I personally find that Folk Mond & Flower Dream almost matches Now Jazz Ramwong in quality and that says a lot. Some free jazz an...

One of his very best and always a popular choice amoing free jazz and experimental collectors. It is very fascinating to experience the effects and melodies Mangelsdorff creates with just him and his best friend, the ...

It's the late seventies and you would expect that the trombone genius had lost a little of the energy and pace but none of that here. I guess with a band spanning Wolfgang Dauner, Eddie Gomez and Elvin Jones it is har...

Essential MPS compilation with big tunes in Klaus Weiss Orchestra Superstar, Clarke-Bolland Love For Sale and the brilliant Herbolzheimer mover Frog Dance.

Not familiar with all of the hundreds of essential MPS recordings or rather not splash out some heavy cash on all the albums this is brilliant introduction to this incredible label. Joachim-Ernst Berendt using the MPS...

Milt Buckner, Kenny Clarke and Jimmy Woode joining forces in Villingen, how can it go wrong. It tirned to be a great modal recording including the wonderful cover of Bobby Hebb's classic Sunny and his own Glady's Danc...

Rare MPS recording with the famed Detroit pianist joined by George Duvivier and British drummer Leroy Williams who later went to form the disco fusion group Atmosfear. Title track is my favorite but check the chilled ...

Why Monty Alexander does not get more attention is a mystery to me. Anyone diggin for soul jazz should be checking out his records. Cracking cover of People Make The World Go Round and the wonderful Bossa Nova Do Mari...

I am a sucker for MPS records and would not mind listening through every single one of their releases. The mighty Clark Terry backed pretty much the who's who of jazz from Cannonball Adderley to Quincy Jones but here...

Rare educational jazz release by the man who created the masterpiece Terra Contact. He is joined here by Slide Hampton, Carmell Jones, Wilton Gaynaird, Bert Thompson and more.... One side is rhythm tracks and the othe...

The title is somewhat misleading as what Manfred Schoof and Jasper Van't Hof are offering here is a lot more than a mediative soundscape. Great blend of fusion, breaks and electronics. A few ambient floaters but also ...

You could debate if this record should be in the jazz section as it was released on library label UBM but Manfred Schoof is a household name in German jazz and the music here spans from the abstract electro to jazzy f...

Another rare indie label big band recording out of Germany keeping thing funky. Some renowned names in Frank Loef (MPS) and Jürgen Seefelder (Azymuth) taking part. Listen to Guajira In My Soul for starters. NM conditi...

Off the radar big band funkster with great takes of Hancock's Maiden Voyage and Chick Corea's Spain but don't miss Koopmann's own compositions. Check the funky Snow White Wing. Near perfect NM condition vinyl and cover.
