Miles Davis
Get Up With It (Japanese pressing)Columbia (Japan), 1974. Used 2CD
Miles Davis' last studio session before a few years of seclusion – and a really monumental effort, probably the baddest of the electric period! The album does a great job of capturing the energy of the frenzied live sets from that time, and matching it with Teo Macero's cut and paste editing ... CD (Jazz CD)
Frank Zappa & Others
Zapped (collage cover)Warner, 1970. Very Good+
Frank Zappa's on the front, but the set's a collection of material issued on his bown Bizarre and Straight labels at Warner! Titles include "Willie The Pimp" by Frank Zappa, "I Must Have" by Tim Buckley, "Titanic Overture" by Alice Cooper, "The Blimp" by ... LP, Vinyl record album (Rock LP)

Count Basie
Sixteen Men Swinging (Dance Session Vol 1 & 2)Verve, 1953/1954. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
Two wonderful early 50s albums recorded by Count Basie for Verve – both sessions aimed at the dancefloor, and served up with an undeniably soulful groove!

Coleman Hawkins
Meets The Big Sax SectionSavoy, 1958/1979. Very Good+
A sweet little 50s session from Hawk – recorded for the World Wide subsidary of Savoy, in a great style that has plenty of room for solo space! Tracks are long, and arranged by Billy Ver Plank – with a moody small combo mode that lets Hawkins get in plenty of those edgey bits in his ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)

Resavoir
Resavoir (2023)International Anthem, 2023. Used
The second set from Resavoir – a project headed by Chicago producer/musician Will Miller, an artist who's had a lot of experience in the higher reaches of the hip hop scene – but who here gives himself over to much more personal, introspective modes! Yet the album's not a solo effort ... CD (Jazz CD)
Carlos Nino
I'm Just Chillin – On FireInternational Anthem, 2023. Used
We've been following the music of Carlos Nino for many years, and during that time he's never failed to take us on an amazing journey – yet despite that legacy, this set may well be his most visionary record in years – a tremendous summation of ideas that have been brimming around the ...

Paul Desmond
SummertimeCTI/A&M, 1968. Very Good+ Gatefold
A perfect complement to Paul's other early CTI album – From The Hot Afternoon – and like that one, this album's a swirling match of tracks that mix together bossa rhythms, jazzy orchestrations, and Desmond's impeccably sharp alto sax. Don Sebesky handled the arrangements, giving the ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Blowfly
Oldies But GoodiesWeird World, Mid 70s. Very Good+
Here's a record we wish they would have used for the soundtrack to Happy Days – Blowfly cashing in on the 50s craze in the 70s, and offering up his own off-color version of a number of classic oldies! The sound is pretty darn goofy, but also has links to Blow's roots as singer Clarence Reid ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul LP)
Stevie Wonder
Fulfillingness' First FinaleTamla, 1974. Very Good Gatefold
A fantastic 70s classic from Stevie Wonder – part of a great run of records in which he broke completely from his earlier Motown sound – and showed the world that he was one of the true musical visionaries of the decade! The righteous currents of his previous few albums are fully in ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul LP)
Booker T & The MGs
Best Of Booker T & The MGsAtlantic, 1968. Very Good+
What can we say? Booker T and crew are always tops in our book – and this album's as strong a batch of their classic singles as you'll ever find! Book's organ is the sound of a generation, and Steve Cropper's sinister vamping on guitar gives even the poppier tracks a hard edge that still ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul LP)
Antonio Carlos Jobim
PassarimVerve, 1987. Very Good
A great later album by Jobim – one that has him working with "the new band", which includes younger talents like Danilo Caymmi on flute and vocals, Sebastiao Neto on bass, Jacques Morelen baum on cello, and Paulo Jobim on guitar and vocals. Jobim's voice is wonderfully aged and ... LP, Vinyl record album (Brazil LP)

Lenny Breau
Guitar Sounds From Lenny BreauRCA, 1972. Very Good+
A great early record from guitarist Lenny Breau – done in a really spacious style that showcases both his subtle talents and his strong inspiration from Bill Evans!

Ron Carter
ParadeMilestone, 1979. Very Good+
Features some great work by Joe Henderson on tenor – in a group that features Carter on bass and piccolo bass, Chick Corea on piano, and Tony Williams on drums – plus some surprisingly nice larger horn arrangements too. Titles include "GJT", "Gypsy", "Tinderbox& ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Joe Armon-Jones
Starting TodayBrownswood (UK), 2018. Very Good+
Joe Armon Jones sings and plays lots of cool Wurlitzer electric piano on this gem of an album – but the whole thing is maybe even more of a tribute to the warmly collaborative spirit of the contemporary London scene, as it is to the talents of the man himself! There's a nicely fluid sense of ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Chico Buarque/
Dona Flor & Her Two Husbands
Peters, 1977. Very Good+
Great soundtrack work from Chico Buarque – thanks in large part to some help from Francis Hime, who arranged the whole set with the sort of backings heard on his own work! The soundtrack's best known for the Buarque groover "O Que Sera" – presented here in 2 great vocal ... LP, Vinyl record album (Brazil LP)
Elek Bacsik
Jazz Guitarist – Elek BacsikPhilips, 1962. Very Good+
Great work from one of the most unique guitarists on the European scene – working here in trio formation, with either Pierre Michelot or Michel Gaudry on bass, and Kenny Clarke or Daniel Humair on drums! The tracks are short and tight – with hints of Django, but also some other unique ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Art Blakey with Barney Wilen
Paris Jam SessionFontana, 1960. Used
A fantastic live set from Art Blakey – recorded in Paris in 1960, with a version of the Jazz Messengers that includes Lee Morgan on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on tenor, Walter Davis Jr on piano, and Jymie Merritt on bass!

Joe Venuti & Zoot Sims
Joe Venuti & Zoot SimsChiaroscuro, 1975. Very Good+
Zoot Sims really makes the album cook – adding in a lot more bop sensibility than you might expect on an album with violinist Joe Venuti – and really bringing in a heck of a lot of soul, thanks to his raspy tone on the tenor! The set's got a nicely jumping sort of feel – with ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
