CASBAH RECORDS List 50 Jazz Jazz Jazz Jazz Jazz!
1827 RONNIE APRIL'S POSITIVE ENERGY VOLUME 1 JUDE RECORDS 25.00 (SEALED)
It gives me real pleasure to be able to offer you this legendary album at such a fine price, I've been
dealing records for many years now and opportunities like this simply don't come along very often.
This is it, THE legendary release by Ronnie April's Positive Energy, pressed by Ronnie on his own
Jude imprint and distributed only locally by him without success, leading to the disappearance of all
but a few copies. An impossibly rare holy grail which has changed hands in the past for as much as
£300! Mainly though, it simply never turns up and for the most part remained unknown to most,
although "Snowflake" has been a stable of the jazzdance scene for years and the track was even
bootlegged at one point. Imagine then, my pleasure at finding a box of sealed original copies, a factory sealed box which left the pressing plant in the Bronx over a quarter of a century ago and remained untouched and unopened until now! We're talking serious sweaty palms here, people! Most importantly, the music is amazing - composer, arranger, producer, saxophonist, clarinetist and flautist, Ronnie April has performed with many greats such as Tito Puente, Frank Foster, Nat Adderley, Lionel Hampton, and Louis Armstrong, to name a few. Which, of course, explains why his first solo release is such an assured one. With Brazilian jazz dancer "Snowflake" remaining the star cut - a Joe Sample composition combining strong samba rhythms with funk coupled with some very fine sax and piano solos and swirling female vocals - this is one smoking tune! There's a lot more to this album too, it has a really cool jazzy disco sound which happens to be very much in favour today, a kind of deep disco feel with strong jazz flavours and tons of female vocals/scats. Think a jazzy, funky version of Milton Hamilton's 'My Love Supreme' and that whole underground disco scene, and you've got the sound of "Dancer's Theme" with it's great funky bassline, gliding keys, flying horn solos and solid club groove! "Rasmonde" features some really deep Rhodes grooving as does "Sure, Sure, Sure", while "Diamonds For Ida" has a killer uptempo modal/scats feel... Phew!!
28 ANTHONY ORTEGA A DELANTO JAZZZ 90.00
Never heard of this Jazzz label, (must be rarrre.. !) In demand & yes, very rarrre private press deep jazz from '75. Anthony Ortega played sax on such classic dates as Mannix, Mission Impossible etc Dig the funky jazz of "A Delanto" and flute-driven, airy groove on "Capricorn".2168 STEPHANE HOUBEN STEPHANE HOUBEN PRIVATE ISSUE (BEL) sold
Ultra-rare jazz from Belgium, brilliant sextet that deliver an amazing version of "Veracruz", great
brazilian rhythms with jazz guitar and delicate flute solos riding the groove and a really fresh sounding arrangement! Jazz club heaven.

343 ROBIN KENYATTA GIRL FROM MARTINIQUE ECM (GERMANY) 20.00
Early ECM release (recorded 1970, with Wolfgang Dauner) which stretches beyond the more abstract, atmospheric releases the label is commonly associated with, hitting the right groove on "Blues For Your Mama", with warm, funky bass & clavinet rhythms providing the bedrock for the sax & piano to let loose. Breaks!
345 HAROLD DUMONT HAROLD DUMONT SINGS DUKE ELLINGTON CLEEMO 40.00

common presing fault for this label at the time. Sax/trumpet/vibes/piano sextet with Elvin Jones on
drums. "Dakar", "Hello Frisco".1841 FRONTLINERS FRONTLINERS '87 UNDERCURRENT (SEALED) sold

United Frontliners (I'm down to my last few copies on that one now, take note - see website!). This

day, including Count Basie, Sarah Vaughan & Frank Sinatra, to name a few. This was his one and
only solo release and includes "Silly Savage" - clocking in at just under two and a half minutes, it's

weapon for years with jazz club DJs in the know!

Karolak & Co. Lots to choose from - the opener "Outline", "She's Always Angry" featuring a tempting
'Milestones' type rhythm, but the standout has to be the lovely, modal "Promenade Through Empty
Streets". Brilliant!

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

the highest order, with wife Kathryn Moses on flute. The 13 minute plus epic title track is the standout, although the Blue Mitchell-style funky jazz of "Hidden Strength also rates very highly. Personally I go for the Brazilian-tinged "Dreamship", lovely key-changes and fierce flute!

1863 FRIEDRICH GULDA IT'S ALL ONE MPS(SPA) 20.00
Although he is best known for his classical music interprtations, jazz was his first love and MPS was
the perfect place for him to wig out at leisure with no limits or boundaries. Quite the weird fellow, he
was known for sometimes performing piano concerts totally naked! Here, he is fully clothed and
playing as a duet with piano and electric piano vs Klaus Weiss on drums. Gatefold issue.

"Take Five", "Blue Bossa"
1831 DON SEBESKY GIANT BOX CTI(DBL) sold
Absolutely no idea as to why this double LP release came to be housed in this unique, extravagant

anyone who's anyone is on here - Billy Cobham, Bob James, Randy Brecker, Hubert Laws, Freddie
Hubbard, Grover Washington Jr., George Benson, Airto, Ron Carter to name just a few out of what
feels like a cast of thousands! The seventies and their magnificent excesses... Thankfully the music

Fly/Circles"

"Simbi", "Sambita", "Merci Bon Dieu" and the highlight for me: "Diskette", a killer tune with deep,
deep interlocking bass & conga grooves plus awe-inspiring piano riffs, it's a dancefloor bomb and has
a groove that just keeps on going!
1945 GIMMICKS! MUSIC IS WHAT WE LIKE TO PLAY POLYDOR(SWE) 50.00
Sweden's answer to Sergio Mendes coming through with the goods once again on their super-funky
version of War's "Slippin' Into Darkness".
1946 KIS RAKFOGO FUSTI BALOGH KREM(HUN) 40.00
Fierce afro-funk, Mombasa-style, recorded in Hungary? You better believe it baby! Blistering keys,
deep bass, heavy drums & horns, it's the afro-fusion experience "Kemenysepre"!1947 VOODOO FAMILY VOODOO FAMILY SOUKOUS(FRA) sold

free-flowing psychedelia and chants, crazy wah-wah licks and on point keys. "Oh Kibino", "You're
Nice So Nice", "We Have To Build A Nation" etc!
1948 THE IMPOSSIBLES STAGE SHOW.. IN HIS BEST SWINGING MOOD STAGE SHOW (THAI) 250.00
'The one with the white cover and them standing in a line'. Might sound like the tag for an episode of
'Friends', but using descriptions like this only underlines how RARE a piece of vinyl can be
sometimes, where there's just so little info to go round. This is indeed The Impossibles, as in the Thai
funk group who did a hot (pepper) album for Philips. This one, however, is on a whole different level of rarity, seeing as it was only released locally, with tiny (I've heard 100-200) numbers being pressed up for the few Bangkok locals who bought vinyl at the time. The music's insane, with hot funky versions of everything from "Funky Party" & "I Can't Get Enough Of Your Love Baby" to "Pick Up The Pieces" & "Superstition", breaks, beats, the lot!

475 SYLVESTER SYLVESTER AND THE HOT BAND BLUE THUMB 15.00
Early release, put together when still kicking around on Haight St., finding himself and playing with
the Hot Band. Sylvester hadn't fully come into his own as an artist, but the version of "Southern Man"
in funky rock style is killah! The album itself comes with a unique 'scratch'n sniff' flower on the front
and a full size poster of Sylvester!1932 SYLVESTER SYLVESTER FANTASY 15.00
At one point in the late-seventies, Sylvester really started to mature as an artist, successfully teaming
up with the Two Tons of Fun and (more questionably!), with Honey Records' boss Harvey Fuqua. His
flamboyant, exhuberant nature and soulful gospel roots translate perfectly on what is probably the
epitome of joyful abandon on record, with the full seven minute celebration of life that is "Over & Over", soulful disco hedonism at its finest!484 LUTHER THIS CLOSE TO YOU COTILLION (SEALED) 35.00

Brilliant modern soul & boogie, with a nice left-field jazzy touch in that indie vein and great female vocals by Glenda Eskew & Brenda Marshall. "I Need Your Love" - is probably the biggest cut on here, funky, funky soulful boogie! But there's loads to choose from - check out the funky "Night Music", squelchy synths and slap bass with female choruses and a bad ass boogie beat! "Always On My Mind" - great mid-tempo floater, "City Lights", easy hand-clapping vibe, uplifting instro jazzy theme.

Only So Much Oil In The Ground", an uptempo funky club classic, with a theme that is even
more relevant today than it was 30 years ago!1922 ASHA PUTHLI ASHA PUTHLI CBS(HOL) 25.00
Asha Puthli's first album, from 1974, an excellent set of funky soul tunes, with backings that are a
mixture of spacey electric, futuristic funk and organic feel. My personal fave is the awesome take on
J.J. Cale's "Right Down Here", with that undeniably dope intro, irresitibly danceable groove and her
unique, off-kilter vocals.

Mexican jazz piano wizard and the man responsible for such stunning (and impossibly rare!) tunes as
"En Fa" delivers another couple of aces here, check out the beautiful "Como Vuelo De Un Avestruz",
a hypnotic, swaying samba-jazz number with uplifting female vocals. The flip features a driving
Brazilian jazz cut "El Minuto", with sparkling percussion and horn solos.
2002 GERARDO BATIZ BUGAMBILIA PENTAGRAMA (MEX) 40.00
Gerardo's deft touch and imagination come into play for the samba-funk tune "Menguere" which mixes the funky bass groove with scats, jazzy piano and, as a flourish, a cool rhythm augmented by Gerardo himself on steel drum!
2003 ISLA ISLA PENTAGRAMA ESP. (MEX) 100.00
Early project for main man Gerardo Batiz, and it's a really rare indie production released only through
Pentagrama's special product division. Top quality, earthy, jazzy latin sounds, with the strong melodic
content and songwriting that is Batiz's trademark, on deep tunes like "Mali", "Kamusekele" and the
standout for me, "Rupesh" - rippling piano riffs, sweet flute and humming chorus.
2004 MIRASOL COLORES MIRASOL COLORES RCA(SPA PROMO) 40.00
Sparkling latin-jazz & latin fusion set, rare Spanish-only release incs. "La Dormilona".

2007 LA REVOLUCION DE EMILIANO ZAPATA LA NUEVA ONDA DE DIMECA (MEX) 100.00
Mexican psyche-rock garage heroes were at an interesting transitional point here, having decided to
take a radically new route. The year was 1975, and before they made the definitive move into the (lucrative) ballads market, they first decided to experiment with the 'new groove' and cut this cool album, adding wah-wah guitar, congas and tasty horns to their all-new funky mix. The result is a couple of latin-funk bangers - "Mujer Latina" & the breakbeat-driven "Ella Tiene Eso", as well the superb, uplifting folk-funk groove "You Are My Dream". Rare!
2008 PEACE AND LOVE PEACE AND LOVE DENVER (MEX SEALED) 30.00
Later issue of this rare piece, just managed to unearth a handful of these! Far out Mexican latin-funk
with brassy intensity - "Latin Feelin". The absolute killer is "We Got The Power" which bursts into life
with a piano/percussion theme which is then taken over by the larger than life horns. This funky vocal
monster then builds up with layers of percussion, a breakdown, a change in tempo.. excellent!
2009 LOUIE RAMIREZ A DIFFERENT SHADE OF BLACK COTIQUE(SEALED) 25.00
Wicked, very effective Nuyorican latin-jazz set from '76, best known for the super-funky latin disco
version of "Do It Anyway You Wanna" - an essential club spin!2010 ANDY HARLOW LA MUSICA BRAVA VAYA(SEALED) sold
Great latin set from '74, quintessential sounds from the one and only Andy Harlow - there's also a
secret weapon tucked away at the end of the b-side, the latin-jazz club bomb "Batumbique" - samba
rhythms, whistles, a voiceover detailing the various nuances of the rhythms and it all explodes
into a celebratory climax with full horn section and batucada beats - parrtay!
2011 DE KALAFE DE KALAFE PALACIO(VEN) 100.00
Mega-rare Venezuelan release from this psych/garage female singer, who ditches her rock baggage
and explores her roots instead, serving up along the way what is one of the best ever versions of "Ye
Me Le". It's a blinding take, a dancefloor cert with exhuberant vocals and rootsy acoustic stylings
backed by a deceptively tough rhythm section, plus horns, swinging percussion, the works!
2012 MARQUEZ PA-CA HISPAVOX(SPA) sold
Double-rare Spanish original issue on Hispavox, crazy demand for this very fine slab of latin-funk with
all the awesome tunes, including the club classic "Melao" etc!

1195 LES CHAKACHAS ESO ES EL AMOR RCA(FRA DBL) 25.00
(vg+ small sticker tear front cover) Confusingly, The Chakachas also released a single isssue LP with
the same title, another double LP also with the same title, and this one, provisionally titled for the
purpose of this list, 'the one with the soft-focus bikini-clad girl playing the congas'. Either way, this one doesn't turn up very often... "Canalla"

2020 ESQUEIXADA SNIFF EN CONCERT ZELESTE(SPA) 25.00
Different and original sounding fusion with strong jazz and latin elements, the standout track is
"Negreta 'Sabrosona' ", an intense number which features extended jazz guitar work a la Wes
Montgomery over a sweet, fast but subtle latin refrain. Over on the flip there's a similar thing going on
in a much more spaced out way with "Ecos Cosmics", dedicated to Lonnie Liston Smith.
2021 ALDEMARO ROMERO AND HIS ONDA NUEVA COLUMBIA (PROMO) 40.00
Hard to find original US issue! Snappy latin & bossa grooves from Venezuela in his unique 'New Groove' style, with scat vocals, airy jazzy stylings and that 60s Italian flick orchestral kind of feel. "El Catire", "Pajarillo En Nueva Onda"

1177 JAYME MARQUES EN DIRECTO RCA(SPA DBL) 100.00
BACK IN STOCK! His rarest LP by far! They didn't press too many of these because back in those
days a double LP retailed for double the price, see? Which is a pity, because it's right up there with
his finest work - there's that highly infectious funky samba "O Sapo" - essential club dynamite! For
lovers of jazz-samba, "Quintessencia" is one to cherish, plus there's loads more inc. "Abre Alas" etc
2025 SIVUCA SIVUCA VANGUARD (BRA) 20.00

2036 TRIO MOCOTO TRIO MOCOTO ARLEQUIM (BRA) 25.00

loping soulful bossa "Nao Adianta".

Buenos Aires, 1972 and these guys were on fire! Pedro Dos Santos never ceases to amaze with his
percussive ingenuity and rhythmic flair, together they explore the outer limits of the bossa groove most successfully.
2057 SEBASTIAO TAPAJOS/PEDRO DOS SANTOS VOL.2 TROVA(ARG) 40.00
Killer album recorded in Argentina in '72, featuring "Tornei A Caminhar" great funky little floor filler,
unique in that it seamlessly laces a jazzy vocal bossa with a mean-sounding brass section, as well as
providing a showcase for rhythm-master Pedro Dos Santos to unleash his extensive percussive
armoury. It may seem hard to believe when listening to this excellent groove that the sounds originate
from all manner of humble household objects, including a matchbox, a spoon and an empty can of
deodorant!
2058 LITO NEBBIA CANCIONES PARA CADA UNO VOL.1 DIORAMA (ARG) 25.00
Mixing pop and jazz sensibilities, the album includes a track which was recorded with the US market
in mind, and which results in a mad, off-kilter jazz-dancer with brazilian rhythms, rousing, soulful
vocals and cosmic-tinged Rhodes, synth & Arp lines going off on top!
2059 VARIOUS/ARTISTS SUCESSOS ZIP No4 ZIP(PORT) 40.00
Very rare comp which is sought after for the inclusion of a unique Portuguese prog band track (Petrus
Castrus), but which is featured here for the inclusion of a Fernando Tordo cut which is only otherwise
available as a very rare 7" (see sevens section!). The song in question is "Cai-Cai" and features Fernando Tordo in full bossa-groove mode, a funky mid-tempo dancer which kicks off with a cool, bass-driven beat, a blast of horns and picks up the pace with orchestral swells in full effect!

Excellent, super-funky version of "On Broadway", kicking off with a massive drumbreak and a killer
deep bassline, the tune keeps the lowdown mid-tempo pressure while adding layer upon layer with
killer, spooky piano-lines, choruses and even a mad steel drum groove which appears periodically to
send things over the top! Three trippy facts about this obscure album - Bob Babbitt is on bass, Candido on congas, Tito Puente on timbales!

Identity crisis or what? Not reggae at all, but rather, quality funk is the name of the game from the
mysterious Barracudas. Wide-ranging choice of good tunes to pick from, in a Lafayette/Cane & Able
heavy funk vein. They do a firin' version of Barrabas's "Woman" (breakdown!), get in cool, laidback

1449 ARENA ARENA CRYSTAL CLEAR (AUS) 100.00

library LP, but it's more likely a private pressing for the Crystal Clear recording studio. Tons of
beats/samples, and a couple of totally smoking funky fusion cuts "The Long One" & "Turkish
Defunked".
1592 CHUS MARTINEZ Y SU CONJUNTO RITMO YOUNG TREBOL(SPA) 30.00

Spanish singer who recorded this self-titled album in '72, a hard to find obscurity which features an
awesome version of Ennio Morricone's "Metti Una Sera A Cena", the original is a beautiful slice of
orchestral bossa with wordless vocals and this version does it justice!
2078 OLIVER'S PLANET OLIVER'S PLANET ARIOLA(SPA) sold
Sometime back in 1979, a group of seasoned Spanish session musos and studio boffins decided to
get together in the Belter & Sonoland studios (Barcelona & Madrid respectively), pool their collective
talents and go all-out cosmic on us, leaving no synthesizer undamaged in their quest for the universal groove. The result is a collection of out there disco experiments, with several hitting the Euro bullseye, funky cuts like "Mr.Sun" & "Dance Machine", as well as the interstellar wonder that is "Planetarium". Breaks!2082 THE ALAN BOWN! S/T DERAM(UK) sold

Mad West Coast hippies getting down Eastern-style with tabla, naal, dholak & sarod as well as
Crosby-style vocals and guitars, rock drums. The result is far from the acid-induced disaster you might expect - this was recorded in hazy 1971! Instead, you get cuts like the tight, funky "We Want To Be Free", which sounds satisfyingly different and original.

Believe! Massive demand for this cool'n groovy vocal scat-led tune, with a deep Fender funk'n jazz
groove, fat drums (killer breaks as well!) and all the necessary ingredients to make this tune such a
great dancer. Near impossible to find as well, recorded at Sydney restaurant 'Jason's' which doubled
up as a part-time jazz venue; this 7" was sold to patrons of said establishment, hence the extreme
rarity! Includes their other big tune on the flip - "What's The Use".

Rare! Brilliant double-sider from 1970 from this mysterious Dutch combo. Morton & the Uptights were
an offshoot of the J.J.Band, led by none other than cult legend Scott Bradford, and featuring Belgian
jazz great Philippe Catherine on guitar! The music is really amazing, a mixture of Ska & jazzy soul with a groovy & funky latino rhythm section.First up there's "Montego" and what you get is a ska flavoured groove (written by Scott
Bradford) that sounds like the slightly demented lost Jamaican cousin of Mulatu of Ethiopia, with a
really raw sound, pounding piano, great percussion & skanking horns. Over on the flip, the hypnotic
"Taurus" awaits, same deal - Scott Bradford penned, but slightly more laid back and very funky, a
steady, driving groove, brilliant eastern-hued horns and just a general feeling of exotic wonder!
2183 SERGE GAINSBOURG LE PACHA PHILIPS(FRA) 150.00
(Ex+/vg++) Mega-rare picture sleeve 60s soundtrack EP, this is always highly sought after, not just for the infamous break on the dope "Requiem Pour Un C..", here in its original release, but especially for the funky sitar freakout that is "Psychastenie", what an unholy groove!
2184 MARCIA HINES YOU GOTTA LET GO WIZARD(AUS) 350.00
Considered to be one of the rarest Australian soul/funk singles ever - this killer soulful dancer only
received an excrutiatingly limited release as a seven - no idea why - as the album then went on to
achieve platinum status in Oz! There is also a very rare, later Italian 7" issue on Digit, but copies of this og Aussie issue never turn up, and according to some sources, only 10 or so are known to exist!

Brilliant track, a must for fans of Northern and a 100 percent certified floorfiller!
2187 THE BILALIAN EXPRESS PHILLY/DISCO NIGHTS LK RECORDS sold
Oh yesss, this is ROUGH! Killer funky disco/boogie from '76. The Bilalian's drop the rudest bass a
booty can bear, all loose-limbed and raw with a great mid-tempo boogie beat to match and languid,
fonky vocals. They get real dirty in the middle, with a squelchy Sly inspired organ solo and a killer
breakdown towards the end, then a false ending, just to play with you a little more! The flip is an ace
uptempo horn-led disco groover.
2188 LATIN BREED MARANATHA GCP 75.00

2192 STEVE PARKS SADNESS IN MY SAMBA REYNOLDS 25.00
(vg+ some clicks on b-side) b/w "All In A Day" Both tunes written for "The Golden Key", an album for
Reynolds which never saw the light of day. Eventually Parks re-recorded them for his 'Moving In The

on one of his head-clearing jaunts across the border (Mexican RCA exec gave him some 12" promos), it soon became one of the key tunes of the era, being a specially extended disco version with a killer breakdown, not available on the album or 7" -and not released elsewhere - which explains why it quickly achieved such holy grail status on the disco scene!
1878 LA TOYA JACKSON STAY THE NIGHT/CAMP KUCHI KAIA POLYDOR (LTD EDITION) 25.00
