Great and pretty unexplored jazz funk one-off project by pianist Tom Ranier. A stack of decent tracks on the WB seventies release but the highlights in my books are the vocal piece Good For You and the mellow downbeat...

Great version of the Steely Dan classic Peg and the famous fusion breakbeat tune Elephant & Castle. US original in lovely EX condition, cover with 4 cm seam spit to upper seam.

Classic Milestone piece that should appeal to contemporary jazz collectors but also fans who favour discofied jazz. Just check the mellow Woolaphant.... Harvey Mason and Don Sebersky joining Ron Carter so maybe this i...

Great and completely slept on release by James Spaulding backed by a top line up in Cedar Walton, Sam Jones, Steve Nelson and Mtume. I particular like the vocal tracks with Avery Brooks. Listen to Caravan. I challenge...

Mega rare UK Mono original from '69 on the collectable CBS Realm Jazz series. Highly recommended modern jazz quartet featuring Harry Beckert, Bud Parkes, Donald Beichtol and Lyn Dobson as guests. EX copy with the ligh...

One for the collectors looking for funk in unsual places. Jazzman Sonny Stitt is joined by a spectacular line up in Don Patterson, Idris Muhammad and Melvin Sparks to name but a few and the result is seriously funky. ...

Essential Prestige recording from 1957 by Gene Ammons and the All Stars in Art Farmer, Jackie McLean, Kenny Burrell, Mal Waldron, Doug Watkins and Arthur Taylor. A must for any serious collector. This is a near perfec...

A fine mix of bop and jazz funk from one of my favorite Prestige household names. Rud Van Gelder recording with Joe Sample, Paul Humphrey and many other talents. Always have a soft spot for Gene Ammons ability to keep...

Looking for ultra rare Italian modern jazz pressed in tiny numbers, look no further than Roberto Magris's Gruppo Jazz Marca. Lovely mix of modal and experimental pieces. This is the original 'private' pressing from 86...

Believed debut by the Roberto Magris led trio Grupo Jazz Marca. Such a fine piece of modern jazz that moves from soulful to abstract. Very very hard to find original pressing from '83. Record is strong EX, cover spine...

Seriously funky affair by Howard McGhee and the brilliant Benny Bailey. Quality from the first turn but the highlights are Get It One and the storming Funky Senor penned by Benny Bailey. Danish only pressing on Jazzcr...

Hard to find indie label jazz with Rich Matterson and Harvey Phillips putting there extraordinary talents on the Tuba to best of use. Very different and unqiue take of Summertime and a lovely verion Horace Silver's Gr...

Completely slept on big band funkster produced by John Hammond. Back to back quality really but Spain is hot and particularly Ayo is a monster. Don't tell me your not nodding to this when listening...

US stereo original BST 84195 Blue Note pressing with Van Gelder in dead wax. With a line up including Hubbard, Carter, Coleman and Anthony Williams this is essential stuff that every jazz enthusiast or collector of mu...

Excellent latin flavoured jazz recording by Horace Silver backed by Carmell Jones, Joe Henderson, Roy Brooks, even Blue Mitchell is appearing here. Second US Blue Note pressing from '79 with dark blue labels. Listen t...

Rare US stereo original BST 84097 from 1962 with Van Gelder in dead wax. Hard to say what Blue Note record I rate highest but this one certainly is a top contender. Line up is impeccable with Yusef Lateef, Curtis Full...

Surprised this one has not got more attention. Double album with lots of producer friendly drums, bass, vocals, strings. Kind of mix between classics, jazz and rock but without wanting to settle in either camp. Good a...

What to write about this obscure treassure as it as undiscovered as it gets. Private pressing with what I would guess are newcomer acts. With names like Moonboots, Cryptonics and Pegasus it is hard to predict if this ...

Avantgarde Free Jazz recording from French born Vinko Globokar that does not shy experimental recordings. Stunning NM copy, vinyl looks unplayed.

Wonderfully obscure promotion record with Milan Pilar, Albert Mangelsdorff, Ack Van Rooyen among the many musical contributors. Check out Smoky Samba turning from all cheese to some exceptional jazz trombone work by M...
