169 MISA BLAM SECANJA BEOGRAD(YUG) sold
I couldn't figure out what was going on here until I realised that the labels are reversed on the record..

170 ZEBARON CONCERTO POUR UNE FLUTE MFP(FRA) 45.00
Currrently, I'm majorly digging the cool, acoustic, guitar-led bossa rhythms of "Le Baron", complete with strong melodic flute lead. "Melancolie" is a dreamier cut, more atmospheric and drawn out, but with a tight flute solo keeping it all together beautifully. "7 Rue Decres" brings up the mood again, but gently, featuring more of that great flute. I know not who Zebaron is, but this LP is a real surprise!

176 RODOLFO ALCHOURRON SANATA Y CLARIFICACION II PROMUSICA(ARG) 60.00

Fusion outfit Southern Exposure is an Argentine-American band, the brainchild of Rodolfo Alchourron, a guitarist with definite jazz tendencies.

Seemingly a bit of a prog collector's item (why?!), this is a bit of a tough French LP to track down! "Ananda" is the tune, sharp piano intro that breaks into cool jazz-funk with grooving bass & horns, the solos are spot on!

1389 QUINTETO MARIA JOAO SAME RADIO TRIUNFO(POR) 35.00

330 GAP MANGIONE DIANA IN THE AUTUMN WIND GRC sold

Ahhh, free-flowing, flying, jazzy madness, hard to pin down style-wise, but doesn't it just sound brilliant! It's been growing in demand lately and you just don't see it around much any more. The tunes still work a treat - "Boys With Toys".

332 JAZZ CO-OP JAZZ CO-OP PHILIPS (AUS DBL) sold

(taped seam) High quality funky jazz outfit from Australia. Recorded as a quartet in 1974, they delve deep on the modal "A-La Coltrane" - great track - but the standout has to be "Pyramid Piece" with it's rolling, percussive piano riffs and sweet soprano sax backed by a beefy drumbeat. Very hard to find now.

333 SADIK HAKIM LONDON SUITE RADIO CANADA(CAN) 60.00

Bittersweet saxophone blues for the dirty ol' backwater that is Londontown. "Greek Street Break-In" ode to rising crime in Soho features the afore-mentioned groovy sax as well as a stunning piano intro plus nice solos all round - cool tune! And London is very nice. Apart from the underground, which is extortionate.

Harry Beckett, Derek Wadsworth and co. go nuts in front of a student audience.

107 ROLAND YOUNG ISOPHONIC BOOGIE... FLOW CHART(SEALED) sold

The New Ultra Wave. Roland Young wrote and performed all the pieces on this obscure, independent release. Roland is from New Jersey, and his music is seriously out there. Trippy stuff, with some good samples. "Loveliness"

110 LAMONT JOHNSON NINE… MASTERSCORES sold

'A mystical musical allegory', according to the liner notes. Well, whatever the case, opening track "Benign Beginning" is a fat slab of funky jazz, with splashes of Fender Rhodes and none other than Blue Mitchell & Ronnie Laws laying down the heavy duty trumpet & sax solos.

Always in big demand for the Azymuth-style Brazilian club smash "Bamba" - what a tune!

"Shooting Gallery Rose"

Gatefold. Leon's debut LP smashed it's way into the public consciousness with, amongst others, a swinging version of "Bag's Groove" & conscious jazz/latin vibes on "Um, Um, Um". A voice to remember.

117 JOHNNY LYTLE LOS GRANDES DEL JAZZ SARPE(SPA) 50.00

Rare sixties modern jazz directed and arranged by Ivan Jullien. "Double Indeed"

146 DOTTS JOHNSON NATURAL JAZZ EARTH RECORDS sold

'Internationallly acclaimed' Johnson is given free reign on this small indie label, and boy does he indulge himself. Truth, poetry, music of afro-american culture, war on drugs, natural jazz.. anything's fair game. Still, he does do an interesting oddball version of "Work Song", with slow beats and growling vocals. Comes with a songbook (no expense spared!) titled - what else - Kill The Hard Drugs Pusher. Oh, and each and every sheet has various publishers crossed out with new ones written in by hand..it's 1973, ok?!

Strong improvisational madness from the very able Charles Tolliver, Stanley Cowell, Cecil McBee & Jimmy Hopps. "Orientale"

154 CSIK GUSTAV ES EGYUTESSE PEPITA(HUN) 40.00

Absolutely scorching version of "Skyscraper" by this excellent Hungarian combo. Fender and Solina worked in tandem, Azymuth-style & drenching this Brazilian fusion dancefloor classic with spirit. The cover of "Chameleon" ain't half-bad either..

156 CHARLY ANTOLINI SOUL BEAT MPS(GER) 60.00

What we have here are two sides of heavy duty, driving, dancefloor jazz. While I'm the first to admit that drummer Antolini had a tendency to cut loose on the skins a tad too often for his own good, here it's perfect - these rhythms are burning! Includes the club classics "Woe's All Over Me", "Locomotion" etc!

157 THE JOE MELOTTI QU. LIVE: AT THE FOUNDRY FOUNDRY sold

Funky jazz from New Haven self-released on private label. Includes a cover of Grover Washington's jazz-funk classic "Mr Magic" and a very different sounding version of "Eleanor Rigby", uptempo with a very cool phased Brazilian fusion style intro!

160 GRUPO SANTA MARIA JAZZ DE LA UNIVERSIDAD PRIVATE(VEN) sold

This is one of those records that rarely comes along... privately released by this Latin American college and recorded by a selection of it's finest music students. Nice work all round, the standout is "Continuous Bass" - and what a tune it is! Latin-fusion, relaxed but flowing along at a nice uptempo pace underpinned by tight bass and crisp percussion, topped with flowing fender and memorable horns. Everyone gets a workout, cool jazzy solos punctuated by the horns in the chorus, the track builds and builds - the percussion breakdown, when it comes, is awesome!

162 OPEN SKY UNIT OPEN SKY UNIT DUCHESNE(BEL) sold

Pressed in extremely limited numbers and sold only locally at concerts, this Belgian beauty lay undiscovered until only a few years ago. Practically impossible to find one these days, massive funky soul-jazz in the shape of "Sunshine Star". Killer vocals!

163 NOVI SINGERS TORPEDO MUZA(POL) 60.00

Gatefold. One of the best groups to come out of Poland at the time, and certainly untouchable when it comes to jazzy vocal scats and harmonies. A great album throughout, particularly dig the modal grooves, searing harmonies & throaty flute on "Misfit".
