The Salsa Picante records does not get the full credit they deserve. These guys manage to blend straight salsa with lots of funk undertones and the result is always good. Listen to Vicente for a feel. Cover is clean a...

This one practically never shows up on vinyl. German salsa unit that gets loud and fast on the percussions but also downright funky as you will hear on the clip. Rare item in beautiful conditon.

Slept on 80s latin killer from Cal Tjader. Cover indicated fire and trust me there is plenty of heat on this one. Poncho Con Dos Amigos is 6 min of pure percussion and bongo battle plus there is a solid cover fo Coltr...

Very early latin jazz recording by Cal Tjader backed by a young Willie Bobo and Mongo Santamaria. All pretty mellow stuff good for a Sunday afternoon of chilling. Later pressing with blue / white Fantasy label.

Laurindo Almeida arrangement and Bud Shank on fine form, this is strongly jazz infused latin experiment. Nice version of Round About Midnight and the lovely Harlem Samba are my favorites but overall a good listen. Ear...

Seldom seen 60s deep groove pressing by famous Cuban percussionist Humberto Canto. A fine blend of mambo, cha cha, samba and other quality cuts on here but the standout track is Piano, Tumba Y Contrabajo which is high...

Lovely clean copy of this TICO release from '69 teaming up the king and queen of salsa in Tito and Celia. Excellent stuff throughout but the take off track here is their Spanish / English cover of MacDermont's Aquariu...

This is the German pressing of Latin Soul Rock with unique cover art. Crackin latino funk from the All Stars joined by Manu Dibango, Santana, Billy Cobham and Jan Hammer. When I listen to this album I can not help wis...

Gene Page craftsmanship with Ray Barreto, Bobby Valentin, Johnny Pacheco and many other top talents, how can it be anything but funky. The famous intro of Cha Cha Cha has been sampled notoriously but listen to the bes...

Essential album by Spanish funk rockers Barrabas. Two great spins on here with Wild Safari and notably Woman who just always sounds good. US original with cut out but cover intact and in overall nice condition, scuffs...

Always in demand and for good reason. Great versions of Cantaloupe Island, Light My Fire, Quiet Village and the smooth latin groover in Viva Tirado lifted by Kid Frost. German original from 1970 with lots of scuffs an...

Hard to judge by the cover if anything sweet is on here but little did I know that Peruvian soul diva Eva Ayllon lands a killer groove that ends with a sample ready breakbeat. As expected from a Peruvian original, the...

Highly recommended guitar driven funk rock from Harvey Mandel. This guy recorded a lot more quality stuff than break beat favorite Baby Batter and this is certainly a proof. Tittle track and Uno Ino are my favorites b...

Been diggin through some folk releases of recent and came accross this little gem with a great mover in It's All Over Now that should appeal to the crossover soul DJs. Decca original with punch hole and some brushed h...

Up there among the very best German jazz funk records with Hankocks Hideaway simple a crackin spin that I think everyone would be nodding their head to. Nice clean vinyl with one mark on last track One-and-Twenty caus...

Definately one of my favorite recent prog jazz discoveries. Klaus Holst and co recorded a few quality kraut albums on Philips during the seventies only to continue the legacy with this privately pressed 82 recording t...

Mega rare debut by Toto Blanke on Vertigo that will appeal to both jazz and prog collectors. Joachim Kühn, Gerry Brown and Charly Mariano join the sensational guitarist. His skils on the strings are second to none... ...

Scarce progressive jazz rock live recording with music spanning from the funky to the very abstract. I love the keyboard vs percusiion battle on Bolero Part II and the mellow jazz funk on Flight To Kracow. Cover has g...

Stone mint copy of this experimental avantgarde jazz fusion project with two incredible talented guitarist. Nothing upbeat here but a fascinating soundscape that is useful both for listening and production. Very rare ...

Excellent and very rare debut by Irish folk duo Tir Na Nog, one of the earliest progressive folk bands. Listen to the great Looking Up that I rate as their best track overall. Original 1st pressing on Chrysalis from 1...
