Popular Westcoast cruiser with After The Love Is Gone, Leave Me Alone and Bix some of the many top tunes on here. Pretty rare find as well. French RCA pressing with disc in string EX shape, cover is EX- with faintest ...

Essential recording that has a strong following in most musical fields from soul over rock to jazz, disco or hip hop. Little wonder really as the New Yorker's talents as songwriter and performer really comes to show o...

This one is still somewhat under the radar but actually one of the best releases on the French folk label, Arion. Brilliant mix of straight samba, batucada and forro. Listen to the hypnotic vibes of A Coroa Do Rei tha...

Highly recommended split album with half the action credited Orchestra Ipanema and the other half Grupo Novo Rio. Upbeat and funky at times, chilled and jazzy at others. All in all 23 tracks fitted on two discs in lo...

Solid set of samba dancers on late seventies recording. I like the mid tempo pieces best on this one but some fast and furious stuff to be found as well. Check the enjoyable Pra Que Vou Recordar O Que Chorei for a fee...

Rare samba release by Jorge Goulart on Som Livre. My highlights are the melodic Ily Aye and Bahia De Tidos Os Deuses. Record and cover in decent EX shape, very light distortion at intro turns and run in groove.

Stunning copy of this essential Braziliano DJ item ramped with action from the likes of Wilson Simonal, Os Batuqueiros, Gal Costa, Maria Creuza, Os Originais Do Samba and many more.

Very consistent affair by the famous Brazilian duo Antonio Carlos Marques Pinto and Jose Carlos Figueiredo. Diacho De Dor, Alarme Falso and Dona Flor E Seus Dois Maridos stand out but all in all a great listen.

One of the very best JC recordings on Impulse. Africa is one magnificent opus and serves as reference point to jazz fans and music lovers accross many genres. Later Impulse ABC pressing in gatefold cover, green/blue l...

Essential recording to any vocal jazz fan or collector. Johnny Hartman is well underrated and when backed by a quartet setting for Impulse including John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones no wonder...

Funky soul jazz by Laurie Holloway reintepreting all the anthems from the Fiddler On The Roof original soundtrack. Piano lead with a great drum and double bass trio setting by Ken Baldock and KPM studio drummer Barry ...

Seldom seen Metronome pressing by Swedish trumpeter Arnold Johansson who played alongside Ake Persson and Bengt Hallberg. No reference to who is backing here but both Rune Gustafson and Sture Kallin are with him on ea...

If you thought easy listening jazz was not worth any attention this is an invitation to re-think cause what Heinz Kiessling, Werner Tautz and the rest of this gang manage to pull off here for FAN Special is pretty fun...

May not be everyones cup of tea with four violins taking turns but actually is a really enjoayble listen. Note the rhythm section by Kenny Drew, NHOP and Axel Riehl. SABA tree label original from '66 in texted gatefol...

Essential Mangelsdorff recording, here as affordable Amiga pressing. All is good on here but start with Club Trois for a little feel of what the trombone sounds like. Reduced price item as cover is bitten on one corne...

Likely one of the very first Amiga Jazz albums to be released, dating back to late 1963. It compiles the very finest names including Gustav Brom, Werner Pfüller Quintett, Jazz Optimisten, Johannes Rediske plus Manfred...

Scarce early Amiga release from the father figure of jazz in Dresden, Günther Hörig. A very broad spectrum of styles from swing to afro cuban and cool jazz on here. Super clean EX vinyl close to NM, cover has mild rin...

Great live setting by Inga Runpf and crew with several really funky pieces like Mr Bigshot or Rock Me Baby. Good solo work as well that could be sampled / mixed. Second pressing on Venus. Both records and gatefold cov...

German kraut rockers tackling the works of famous German literatist Hermann Hesse. The result is one fantastic abstract recording with an equal amount of poetry readings on space rock backing and electronic instrument...

One of only two really worthwhile Ekseption records including their take of the AWB big hitter Pick Up The Pieces that to me turned better than the original. You also get the cosmic tinged Electric Swamp plus the samp...
