Des Femmes Disparaissent
Art Blakey was the new hero on the Paris jazz scene, thanks to his Olympia concert on November 22nd 1958, and his subsequent appearances at the Club St. Germain. People swore by his 'Blues March' and 'Moanin', so why not get him to do the soundtrack for the film Molinaro just finished? The only problem, albeit a major one, was that time was short, so an original score was out of the question: the Jazz Messengers would have to preach the good word by other means. Fortunately, the band's tenor and…
From Ear To Ear
From the streets of Brooklyn comes La Fantástica, a brash, big‑band Latin orchestra whose debut on Joe Bataan’s Ghetto Records produced an underground salsa gem laced with unexpected psychedelic soul. Originally released in 1971, From Ear To Ear pairs hard‑driving Latin rhythms with the beguiling, English‑language slow‑burn of “Latin Blues,” a track that blurs salsa, soul, and psych textures.
Ghetto Records was Joe Bataan’s bold bid for independence — a label born from frustration with an indust…
Change Up The Groove
Dive into the vibrant soundscape of the 1970s with “Change Up the Groove”, a hidden gem from Roy Ayers Ubiquity's early years on Polygram. Often overlooked compared to his more famous records, this work overflows with soul and is a true masterclass in fusing jazz and funk, perfectly capturing Ayers' evolution as he connected his jazz roots with the sharp, driving rhythms of 1970s funk. From the very first track, Ayers' signature vibraphone shines brightly, bringing emotion and rhythm. The album …

Malarial Dream
On Malarial Dream, Alvarius B. drifts out of Cairo with a fevered, mostly instrumental songbook that bends late‑period Sun City Girls melancholy through Middle Eastern modes, psych‑warped folk and the quiet volatility of a hand‑picked Cairo/avant‑jazz ensemble.
Heavy Soul Dance Party
On Heavy Soul Dance Party, Saint Tropez Orchestra boil their library‑funk fantasies down to pure floor business: 11 cuts of raw, four‑track psych‑soul and break-heavy grooves that sound like they’ve been beamed straight from a 1972 basement to your local sound system.
Thèmes et Atmosphères Volume Two
On Thèmes et Atmosphères Volume Two, Saint Tropez Orchestra turbo‑charges its fake‑soundtrack brief into a sweat‑slicked library‑funk fantasia: breaks, bass and Hammond‑driven strut custom‑built for crate‑diggers, b‑boys and imaginary 1970s spy reels.
Foraging
On Foraging, The Blassics Experiment dig deeper into their analogue-funk soil, spinning nature-tuned grooves and mossy dub atmospheres into an eight-track crate of break-ready instrumentals that feel both forest-floor organic and dancefloor precise.

Komos Cowboys
Guitar and Pedal Steel duets by Nicholas Merz (New Orthodox) and Pat Murano (Decimus)
'Komos Cowboys are here. Here with a LP debut. A debut that winds through the living room like a lab coat experiment, already in progress. Yea it doesn't feel like the first word from these chaps, instead it's as if someone just flipped on the flashlight or the Zoom recorder and the Cowboys didn't look up. The result- a sliding, blinking scene report on something that's been rolling for some time now. Maybe the…
