LP...$29.99
33.99
A fantastic blend of fusion and prog from the Argentine scene of the 70s – and an album that never lets up at all – really burning with these long tracks that are full of jazzy solos, and just a touch of vocals from the leader! Litto Nebbia produced the set, and steps out on this ... LP, Vinyl record album (Rock LP)
Modern Harmonic, 1950s/1960s/1970s. 3CD
A wonderful collection of work from the legendary Sun Ra – put together for a documentary on his enigmatic life and music, and packaged with a copy of the film on blu-ray too! The music alone is enough – a really well-chosen collection of tunes that leans heavily on the earliest years ... CD (Jazz CD)
Audio Fidelity/Real Gone, 1969. (reissue)
LP...$27.99
33.99
One of the coolest albums ever cut by Bob Azzam – an Egyptian singer who worked in a variety of modes during the 60s, but who really knocks it out of the park with this oddity from the end of the decade! The album's definitely a rock set, but one that's cut by someone who's a bigger showman ... LP, Vinyl record album (Rock LP)
Supertights
SupertightsQ Sounds (France), 2020.
LP...$25.99
29.99
A great little group, even if they're not supertight – because instead they have this great way with an easygoing flow – creating sounds that are funky, but also laidback – as the jazzy instrumentation really gets a chance to find its own way, all while the group never tries to ... LP, Vinyl record album (Deep Funk LP)
Guo Yongzhang
Zhuizi SelectionsOld Heaven (China), 2019.
CD...$17.99
23.99
A great album from the Old Heaven label – one that most folks know for its excellent series of improvised music, but one that's also been doing a lot to unite that music with older elements of Chinese culture! This album's a great example of that – as it reworks an older tradition of ... CD (Global Grooves CD)
Osibisa
Black Magic Night – Osibisa Live At The Royal Festival Hall (180 gram blue & gold vinyl pressing)Prestige Elite, 1977. 2LP (reissue)
LP...$37.99
39.99
A surprisingly strong set from Osibisa – one that's got a full, rich, soulful feel – much better than we might have expected for an album recorded at the Royal Festival Hall! The venue's no surprise, though, given that Osibisa were clearly on top of their game at the time – and ... LP, Vinyl record album (Global Grooves LP)
Children Of Zeus
As The World BurnsFirst Word (UK), 2026.
Great work from Children Of Zeus – a Manchester duo who have a wonderful way of blending hip hop and soul – an approach that should make them huge over on our side of the Atlantic, and which makes this great third album an underground gem through and through! The record's got this mix ... CD (Neo Soul CD)
Nechazz
Pieces Of A DreamHabibi Funk (Germany), Late 1980s.
A fantastic bit of 80s soul from Nechazz – certainly not a household name in the US, and maybe not even one in Jordan – where he recorded these tracks in his home studio during the latter part of the decade! The music is very much in an American soul, right down to the English language ... CD (Global Grooves CD)
Joe Chambers with Larry Young
Double Exposure (180 gram pressing)Muse/Time Traveler, 1978. (reissue)
LP...$39.99
40.99
A wonderful album of duets between drummer Joe Chambers and the legendary organist Larry Young – a set done right before Young passed away at a too-young age, one that features some of his most compelling work of the 70s! The format is a bit unusual for both musicians – as Chambers ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
John Kaizan Neptune with Arakawa Band
Bamboo (green vinyl pressing)Toshiba/Universal (Japan), 1980. (reissue)
LP...$33.99
49.99
Bamboo flute and funky grooves – a great little set that mixes the talents of John Kaizan Neptune with the electric jazz of the Arakawa Band – in a way that recalls American work from the Kudu generation! Although other players often play the bamboo flute with a sleepier sound – ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Transversales Disques (France), Late 1960s/1970s.
LP...$32.99
36.99
Stunning sounds from the French cinematic scene – a whole host of rare funky nuggets, most of which resonate with the best sound library grooves of the time! The mix of artists is great – there's a few here that you'll know from major soundtracks for bigger films, mixed with some of ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soundtracks LP)
Hiroshi Sato
Orient (green vinyl pressing)Kitty/Lawson (Japan), 1979. (reissue)
LP...$45.99
49.99
Funky fusion from late 70s Japan – a set that's got a bit of vocals in the lead on some tracks, but which really opens up with some sweet keyboard-heavy instrumentation! There's almost a sharper, more soul-based groove here than on other Japanese sessions of the time – and the presence ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)

LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Kiyoshi Sugimoto
LA Master (blue vinyl pressing)Express/Universal (Japan), 1978. (reissue)
LP...$33.99
49.99
A wonderfully soulful fusion set from late 70s Japan – one of those gems recorded at the time when their scene was arguably serving up a better version of the music than most of the labels back here in the US! Guitarist Kiyoshi Sugimoto is in the lead, and gets all sorts of great solo space ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Old Heaven (China), 2022.
CD...$17.99
22.99
Maybe the greatest recording we've ever heard of saxophonist Lao Dan – a solo set, as you'd guess from the title – and one that has him using his tenor in all these amazing ways – often with phrasing and tones that make us think he's using a different reed instrument at times, and ... CD (Jazz CD)
Bacco (Masayoshi Takanaka)
Cha Cha Me (yellow vinyl pressing)Kitty/Universal (Japan), 1979. (reissue)
LP...$29.99
46.99
A cool side project from Japanese guitar legend Masayoshi Takanaka – a set recorded with a combo who mix rock and fusion together with a cool Cali sort of style – vocals on most tracks, but still plenty of room for Takanaka's fantastic guitar in the lead! Robert Brill helped out with ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)
Misha Panfilov
Where The Birds FlyFunk Night, 2026.
An incredible record from the great Misha Panfilov, and a set that further marks his move from deep funk into the world of jazz – with sounds that are soulful, complex, and very different than his earlier work on funky 45s! There's a really modal groove to most of these tracks – kind ... LP, Vinyl record album (Deep Funk LP)
Miguel Atwood-Ferguson
Ananta – The Spirit Of John ColtraneImpulse, 2026.
An amazing record – not just because it's a fantastic tribute to the great John Coltrane, but also because it's a long-overdue recognition of the mighty talents of the equally great Miguel Atwood-Ferguson! We've been loving Miguel's music for years – his contributions to projects with ... CD (Jazz CD)
2000 Black (UK), 2026.
All the great grooves we always love from Dego – that mix of jazzy modes and crackling rhythms he's been giving us since he first rose up on the London scene many years back – but a single that also has some great vocals from Shanteh Fuller on the leadoff track, which brings a deeper ... 12-inch, Vinyl record (New Grooves 12-inch)
Ed Motta
Toc TocP-Vine (Japan), 2026.
Ed Motta is one of our favorite artists of all time – a wonderfully soulful singer from Brazil, and one who's really carried on the legacy of that scene's wave of funk and soul in the 70s – but with all these wonderful qualities of his own! Over the past 20 years, Ed's also evolved to ... CD (Neo Soul CD)
Pleasurewood
Electric Telepathy (pink & purple vinyl pressing)Farfalla (France), 2026.
A wicked set of funky instrumentals, one that's served up with plenty of freak and fuzz throughout – all at a level that makes this record even more wonderful than the group's previous set! There's all sorts of cool instruments in the mix – funky flute, electric sitar, Hammond organ, ... LP, Vinyl record album (Sound Library LP)
Strawberry (UK), Mid 1960s. 3CD
Not the Riot Squad of 80s punk rock fame, and instead an even cooler UK group from the 60s – one who recorded some amazing material with the legendary Joe Meek, and also worked with a young David Bowie too! The group had a few key singles during the period, but recorded a lot more great ... CD (Rock CD)
