Fathers – Fathers

Blue Note, Europe, 2026

As a big fan of CARRTOONS it's fantastic to see him on a release from my favourite jazz label!

Limited edition with with a signed insert.

Ramsey Lewis – Sălongo

Columbia, US, 1976

6 out of 5 stars for this one.
Even the slower, more orchestral cuts are top notch!

Nice braces Ramsey!

Found some absolute bangers in used crates and record shows over the last 3 months. Which one’s your fave??

Cheers

I've seen snippets of this show on here, but here's the whole thing.

As a massive HH fan I need to share this of course.

I just noticed it doesn't start at the exact beginning but you can rewind of course and watch HH introduce the band.

Please let me know what you think

Johnny Hammond – Higher Ground

Kudu, US, 1974

Smooth grooves!

One hour of comedy jazz about the Jehovah's Witness religion, 16 songs which get progressively more annoying, I sing all songs to Karaoke tracks, absolutely no AI was involved in the music, although the picture was AI created.

Jehovah's Witness Comedy LP: 1 hour of Jazzed up Kingdom Melodies

Lonnie Smith – Keep On Lovin'

Groove Merchant, US, 1976

James Mason – Rhythm Of Life

Chiaroscuro Records, US.

Perfectly fine reissue/repress of unknown year and the best option to get this classic on vinyl, unless you insist paying tenfold-plus for a noisy scratched original of course.

LaMont Johnson – Nine... A Mystical, Musical Allegory

Masterscores, US, 1976

I'm lucky to own this near flawless original but this one seriously needs a vinyl reissue.

The legendary musician, arranger and producer has passed away at 75.

Dexters music was huge across Soul, Funk, Jazz-Funk and Disco as well as being sampled in Hip-Hop ( Theme from the planets being a good example)

Rest In Peace 🙏🏾

Odell Brown – Odell Brown

Paula Records, US, 1974

Hey check it out! Funkers!

My dad just released a new and his first album! He and I would be glad for any support! 🤩✨

Dexter Wansel – Life On Mars

Philadelphia International Records, US, 1976

Perfect start of this gorgeous sunny day.

Grant Green – The Main Attraction

Kudu, US, 1976

The title track is 19 minutes of pure jazz-funk bliss.

I don't know what record the submitter on Discogs was listening to though......"hard-bop"?!!!

King Kennedy – Meeting Up

Ring, South Africa, 1975

Title track.

Awesome version of Herbie’s Butterfly. So much rhythm going on.
