Looking Ahead
Looking Ahead is the debut album by American jazz musician Ken McIntyre, recorded with fellow alto saxophonist Eric Dolphy in 1960 and released on the New Jazz label in January 1961.

He played a whole fleet of reed instruments, inc…

Ornette On Tenor

Amoroso
When this album landed on the turntables in 1977, João Gilberto, the Nestor and father of bossa nova, had long enjoyed praise for his life’s work which was still far from complete. His straightforward, sometimes dry and rasping voice sounds out distinctively in the mezzo piano and forges his totally unique and personal style of playing Latin jazz with international appeal. With "Wave", "Triste", "Caminhos Cruzados" and "Zingaro" he brings together on this LP four splendid numbers by his congenia…

Who Are You?
There was once a time when The Masque’s rare, fiery $400+ single, ‘Lady Of The Land’ b/w ‘Wake Up In The Morning,’ was thought to be unreleased material by Jim Morrison and The Doors — listening to it, it’s quite clear why. And that’s a pretty good starting point for appreciating the Masque. After all, what more could you ask for c. 1970?
