Hella - Acoustics CDEP Great, funny cover (open it up). "Hella's aptly titled Acoustics EP consists of six acoustic renditions of previously released songs, recorded by a version of the group that doesn't really exist anymore. In other words, this release might seem to be the.. 28-5RC074 $8.00
Alphataurus - Alphataurus CD (mini lp sleeve) Classic Italian one-shot that originally featured an amazing triple fold-out cover of a dove of peace dropping bombs out of its stomach, which is replicated here.

Hellborg, Jonas / Shawn Lane / V. Selvaganesh - Good People In Times Of Evil Hellborg plays an acoustic bass guitar, Shawn plays acoustic, and they are joined by Remember Shakti member V. Selvagenesh on udu (Indian drum). More trancendental raga/fusion greatness! "There are strong links between this group and John McLaughlin's recently reconstituted Shakti. Bassist Jonas Hellborg was once a member of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and percussionist-vocalist V. Selvaganesh is a member of the current Shakti. Like that group, this trio--with Hellborg's regular partner Shawn Lane... 28-BARD40.2 $18.00
Bisio, Michael / Kirk Knuffke - Row For William O. “The title track starts with a written structure that eventually leads to an unaccompanied bass solo which reminds these ears that, as much as I enjoy Bisio with pianist Matthew Shipp, a greater appreciation of his technique and writing comes across when he steps away from the individualistic pianist. The music is grounded, not free and wild, but that nevertheless generates close listening. Sometimes Knuffke and Bisio play in an in-between place which doesn't feel like the bass is echoing the cornet... RPR 1043 $13.00
Puente, Tito - The Big World of Tito Puente (Mega Blowout Sale) There's a local Pacifica station in DC and they have 6 hours of classic salsa, mambo and Latin music/Latin jazz every Sunday night which I stumbled across by accident and which I listen to pretty religiously now.

Fairport Convention - Full House CD (expanded ) By my best count, there are five bonus tracks on this edition of the fifth Fairport album. "Fairport Convention is a group that has always beaten the odds that's why a version of the band is working in the 21st century. By the time of this, the group's fifth album, key members Ashley Hutchings and Sandy Denny had exited the lineup, yet the group continued here without skipping a beat, for the first time without a female singer and it turned out not to make a major difference. Richard Thompson... 28-UNIJ1423011.2 $17.00

Barclay James Harvest - Barclay James Harvest and Other Short Stories 2 x CDs + 5.1 / hi-res DVD-A box set (due to weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) Third album by this British group that came out of the English progressive movement of the 60's. Their music combines elements of The Moody Blues, to whom they are always compared, but also the more mellow parts of early King Crimson and Genesis. This was their 3rd album, released in 1971 and is yet another strong symphonic rock contender. “This expanded edition of “…Other Short Stories” comprises 40 tracks and features the original UK stereo mix re-mastered from the original master tapes and... 23-PECLEC 32720 $24.00
Santana - 3 CD (Mega Blowout Sale) "Santana III is an album that undeservingly stands in the shadows behind the towering legend that is the band's second album, Abraxas. This was also the album that brought guitarist Neal Schon -- who was 17 years old -- into the original core lineup of Santana. Percussionist Thomas "Coke" Escovedo was brought in to replace (temporarily) José Chepitó Areas, who had suffered a brain aneurysm, yet who recovered quickly and rejoined the band. The rest were Carlos, organist Gregg Rolie, drummer Michael... 28-SBMK771093.2 $8.00

Pastorius, Jaco / Word Of Mouth- Tokyo 83 CD (Mega Blowout Sale) “Once they heard him play, few people disagreed with Jaco Pastorius' assessment of himself as the 'greatest bass player in the world'. His meteoric rise in 1977 to the bass chair in Weather Report and his work with Joni Mitchell, established him as a major player on the jazz and rock scenes. Broadcast by NHK radio at Shinjyuku Koseinenkin, Tokyo on 22nd May 1983, this is a rare example of his eclectic Word of Mouth small group having fun with a variety of musical styles.

Léandre, Joelle - Zurich Concert CD Joëlle Léandre: Bass “Joëlle Léandre is a living legend. It is almost impossible to list all the international greats of free music with whom Léandre has played in her decades-long career. With Zurich Concert, the magician and rebel on the double bass presents an impressive solo statement. “It is no coincidence that she once described the bass as her bedrock, her spinal column and the place where she stores her memories.

The Free Jazz Workshop came into being in 1967 but their first album, Inter Fréquences, only appeared in 1973.

Previously known only to cognoscenti through an obscure self-released three-track 7", this is the first publication of the complete album, an outrageous confection that mixes art-song and theatrical monolog with live electronics.

Oho - Okinawa CD Oho were underground semi-legends in Baltimore all during the 1970s and into the early 80s and this is their best and best-known work. I remember they were supposed to play a show with The Muffins in the late 70s and they cancelled their performance because they had all had a big fight with each other - something that I got the impression happened a lot with them!
