Style: Polish Jazz

Format: LP
Label: Muza

Year: 1965 (Stereo version)

Condition: VG/VG (looks VG plays VG+)

Nothing less than one of the holy grails in polish jazz. Led by Jan Ptaszyn Wróblewski on tenor and Wojciech Karolak on piano this seminal recording is one of the finest european jazz records of that time...  Vinyl shows surface scuffs but plays great - mostly proper VG+ with lightest background crackle at the beginning of each side and between the tracks. The thin paper cover looks great for that age.

Style: Soul Jazz!

Format: LP

Label: Philips

Year: 1965

Condition: VG/VG (vinyl shows hairlines / cover shows ringwear)

Original first Stereo pressing of this milestone of a record. The vinyl shows hairlines that leave the playback unaffected at most parts. There are some pops in Ne Me Quitte Pas (which is think is the weakest part here - her french got better over the years...) and in the instrumental Blues On Purpose. It is very listenable ;)

 
Style: Outer Space Jazz

Format: LP
Label: Saturn Research

Year: 1985

Condition: NM/VG+

Amazing copy of this Sun Rarity (excuse me, please).

The cover was handcoloured by the artist or friends of the artist and purchased like this at a concert. There's a note by the man who purchased in on the back. I felt so free no to remove it as it's a nice reference. Musically a great trip with spiritual chants and synth overdrives.

Style: Jazz con Bass

Format: LP
Label: CTI (US)

Year: 1975

Condition: NM/VG+

Lovely copy of this Ron Carter gem from the mid seventies. He's traveling a similar route as Coltrane on "Olé" or Miles's drawing "Sketches Of Spain" when translating Spanish themes into jazz lingo. Of course the number one double bass player on the planet makes the trip worthwhile (Hubert Laws on flute blowing us into iberian air). And then Carter adds a cherry on top by gving us a bass reinterpretation of So What  - and that is a jawdropper. For those who like it funky - enjoy that side trip to Arkansas and cool down...

Format: LP
Label: Någarå

Year: 1978

Condition: NM/VG+  

A seminal post-Dzyan Kraut-Fusion album by Peter Giger, Günter Lenz and Eddy Marron. Trilok Gurtu featured on tabla, conga & percussion. Expect experiments, unusual structures and some humor. Expect a whole lot of funky percussion too. Hammerplatte!

Condition: M/M still sealed  

So deep and so beautiful. all the way through. Music and African Songbird might be the oustanding tracks followed by Winnie Mandela. Music might be one of my all time favourite songs ever...

Style: Organic Jazz / Spiritual Kraut

Format: LP

Label: Jazz Haus Musik

Year: 1982

Condition: NM/NM (incl. Insert)

The first Boury LP in amazing condition. The booklet insert is also included. Anyway it's about the music and not the packaging and the music is simply wonderful. Organic and partially psychedelic jazz meandering into progressive krautrock. The sound that you'd expect to hear on an early 70s Dauner LP ... Changed hands for for some money.

Style: Freedom Bass Suite

Format: LP
Label: Ring

Year: 1976

Condition: VG/VG+

One of the european kings on bass. And for sure the experimental bass kaiser. You wouldn't guess how entertaining a bass solo album can be. If his name doesn't ring a bell: Ali Haurand played with Third Eye, The Jan Huydts Trio, Tony Oxley, Wilton Gaynar, etc, etc. My first double copy went into the hands of Thurston Moore...

This copy here has an audible scratch in B1. No skips but quite a few pops (well around 20 rounds) Rest is NM. Priced accordingly

Style:  Modal Jazz

Format: LP
Label: Trend

Year: 1983

Condition: NM/VG tiny wobc, sticker shadow on front

Don't be put off by the production date. This record indeed sounds timeless - well at least not like 1983. In my opinion a fantastic Jazz album in the tradition of the Kenny Clarke & Francy Boland Big Band etc. Among the players: infamous Fritz Münzer (Second Direction) on flute and Chuck Tscheschner (King Pin Meh, Sound Factory Inc.) on bass. Of course Wolfgang Lauth is doing a great job on the vibes.... The album features some wonderful waltzes and even a short trip to brazil.

I call this friendly, deep and also a tiny bit esoteric. Timeless compositions meet versatile improvisations. Highly recommended!

Style: Swedish Modern

Format: LP
Label: Philips

Year: 1973

Condition: NM/NM

Modern Jazz from two swedish milestones that sounds pretty cool, if you know what I mean. Especially when it explores the world. If I wouldn't know it should have been Nasi Goreng from Indonesia I would have guessed for Harissa. Delicious anyway!
