Brilliant mellow bossa release exclusively out in Germany on the Intercord sister label Xenophon. Not an easy find either, promo copy in flawless condition.

Rare and in-demand Polish Bossa Nova release. Za Szyba is the track most people are after but there are other gems hidden on this scarce Muza release. Few soft hairlines but overall a nice VG+ copy.

Mastermind composer and arranger Lalo Schifrin is back in Rio and the result is an exceptional bossa nova / bossa jazz record. Highlight are a brilliant version of Jobim's Samba De Uma Nota So, Ouca and Boato but it i...

Old news that Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer loved his Bossa Nova and even in the early days of Saba he was keen to record some of Brazils finest talents. All quality here but highlights are Sylvia Telles's Dicussao and Ed...

Tried and tested method for a bit of December romance, flip this Ramsey Lewis and flip a few pancakes to go with it. Job done, guaranteed! US Cadet original with punchhole, vinyl is solid EX.

What better way to kick-start December than with a glass of rum toddy, legs up and the soothing voice of Ella Fitzgerald on your turntables. US original with many soft marks but still an enjoayble listen. Merry Christ...

Killer upbeat library latin jazz from Duncan Lamont. Big dancefloor tunes in Eruption, Nigh Flight and Madrilenos. A-side has got some scratches causing some clicks but thankfully on the less interesting parts, the b-...

Very rare latin release by library jazz man Duncan Lamont featuring scat vocals by Barbara Moore. Looks like an all easy listening affair but some pretty upbeat grooves on here as well. Check the jazzy On A Shoestring.

Very rare latin jazz compilation with Opa, Flora Purim and Pete & Sheila Escovedo among the contributors. As the tittle suggest the record mixes straight latin with jazz fusion. There are nice breakbeat drums on Stanl...

Seriously slept on Cal Tjader recording with Clare Fisher involved. Where Is Love is a nice clubby tune, wonderful oriental vibes on Reza but check the tittle track, one of the best midtempo latin jazz funk pieces I h...

Off the radar MPS recording that blends George Shearing's smooth piano jazz with some mellow latin vibes through Chino Valdes and Carmelo Garcia on congas and timbales respectively. Backing by Siggi Schwab and Rusty J...

Hey Mrs Jones, a brilliant soul jazz / latin dancer that is always a popular choice and sounds great played out. A few boogaloo tunes on here as well. Minty condition Chess International with promo stamp on label. Rar...

Brilliant Afro Cuban dancefloor jazz by Jerry Gonzales and The Fort Apache Band. Should be a popular choice bot for latin jazz and salsa fans. Jerry Gonzales credentials are strong backing several of the heavy hitters...

Highly recommended latin jazz by Gerry Mulligan and Astor Piazzolla who collaborated on a number of albums. This one is their best. Packed with symphonic pieces it is a joy to listen to and should also sit well with ...

World renowned accordionist Astor Piazzolla with a great jazzed up live set from Vienna. Obviousy influenced by Tango but again he was never shy of exploring different directions which comes to show on this quintet re...

This is where a very long and very successful carrer started for Mr Isaac Lee Hayes. The sound is very different to his signature pieces but some really wonderful jazzed up soul vibes here. German Atlantic pressing fr...

Stunning Metronome 1st pressing that in my eyes should receive grail status because it is not just very very hard to come by but also very very good. The famous Kühn Brother are joined by Stu Martin, Volker Kriegel an...

Very rare French leftfield jazz record. This second Pantincruel album is a little less experimental than their debut but still, they are not shy of the abstract and progressive sounds. Enjoy their take of Don Cherry's...

Essential free jazz release by the John Tchicai led quartet. Wonderful experimental pieces mixed with poetry. Although different to its predecessor Mohawk, I find that this self titled recording from 1965 matches the ...

With Masahiko Sato, Peter Warren and Pierre Favre recording together no wonder really that this record is such a hard catch. Recorded live at Studio 70 in Munich you get almost 45 minuttes of excellent free jazz. Cove...
