A Love Supreme
*2026 repress* "One of the most important records ever made, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme was his pinnacle studio outing, that at once compiled all of the innovations from his past, spoke to the current of deep spirituality that liberated him from addictions to drugs and alcohol, and glimpsed at the future innovations of his final two and a half years. Recorded over two days in December 1964, Trane's classic quartet-- Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, and Jimmy Garrison -- stepped into the studio and …

A follow‑up to earlier works like Violence Patterns and Slo‑Mo / Signal Echoes, Ascend at Sharp Angles is a pop record at heart, albeit an immersive, introspective record that blends ambient textures, subtle rhythmic pulses, and delicate melodic fragments into a cohesive son…
Have You Heard About the World Coming to an End?
Death Is Not The End present a compilation gathering a cross-section of early gospel choirs and vocal harmony groups recorded between late 1920s and the mid-1950s - a period when spirituals & jubilee traditions merged with blues, jazz and early rhythm and blues, providing the musical routes for the coalescence of the civil rights movement born out of the black church. In the modern world these perennially vital recordings provide a fitting tonic for the near-dystopia we find ourselves living thr…

Unity
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** Unity is one of the great organ records precisely because it refuses to behave like one. Larry Youngbrings the Hammond into a post‑bop, modal context alongside Woody Shaw on trumpet, Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, and Elvin Jones on drums. The tunes – including originals by Young and his bandmates – are harmonically rich and structurally intriguing, offering the soloists wide latitude. Young’s playing is astonishing: he voices chords in unexpected clusters, sp…
Further Explorations
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** Further Explorations pairs Horace Silver’s piano with Art Farmer on trumpet and Clifford Jordan on tenor sax, plus Teddy Kotick on bass and Louis Hayes on drums. Silver’s blend of blues, gospel, and hard‑bop sophistication is very much in evidence, but the writing nudges things into slightly more intricate territory. Catchy themes, smart modulations, and rhythmic hooks abound, yet everything feels natural and unforced. Farmer and Jordan bring contrasting horn col…
The All Seeing Eye
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** On The All Seeing Eye, Wayne Shorter expands his canvas to a large ensemble that includes Freddie Hubbard, James Spaulding, Grachan Moncur III, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Joe Chambers, Alan Shorter, and Gene Bertoncini. Conceived as a musical cosmology, the album uses layered brass and reeds, intricate voicings, and shifting rhythmic underpinnings to explore themes of creation, judgement, and human frailty. Shorter’s own solos rise out of dense textures rather t…
Heavy Soul
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** On Heavy Soul, Ike Quebec’s big, breathy tenor is wrapped in the glow of Freddie Roach’s organ, with Milt Hinton on bass and Al Harewood on drums. The organ‑tenor setting gives the session an intimate, club‑like feel: slow blues, shuffles, and strolls that prioritise mood over flash. Quebec favours clear, singing melodies, letting the natural grain of his sound carry the emotional weight. Roach’s organ lines and comps supply warmth and subtle grit, while Hinton a…
The Cooker
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** On The Cooker, Lee Morgan fronts a quintet with Pepper Adams on baritone saxophone, Bobby Timmons at the piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and “Philly” Joe Jones on drums, and lives up to the album’s title. Recorded when he was still in his early twenties, the session showcases a trumpet voice brimming with swagger and control. The band digs into blues‑based vehicles and brisk swingers with equal commitment, Adams’ baritone adding a gruff counterweight to Morgan’s br…
Genius Of Modern Music Volume One
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** Genius of Modern Music gathers early recordings that reveal just how far ahead Thelonious Monk was thinking, with different sessions featuring combinations of Idrees Sulieman, Milt Jackson, Gene Ramey, Art Blakey, Kenny Clarke, and others. The tunes – “’Round Midnight,” “Epistrophy,” “Ruby, My Dear” and more – present themselves as puzzles: jagged melodies, off‑kilter accents, harmonies that jab when one expects glide. Monk’s pianism, all percussive attack and un…
Dialogue
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** Dialogue finds Bobby Hutcherson at the centre of a forward‑looking sextet: Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Sam Rivers on reeds, Andrew Hill on piano, Richard Davis on bass, and Joe Chambers on drums. The compositions are exploratory, blending post‑bop, free jazz, and avant‑garde impulses into structures that encourage risk‑taking. Hutcherson’s vibes oscillate between delicate, bell‑like patterns and sharply articulated lines, often bridging Rivers’ angular statements…
My Point Of View
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** My Point of View shows Herbie Hancock widening his palette with a larger band: Donald Byrd on trumpet, Garnett Brown on trombone, Hank Mobley on tenor, Grant Green on guitar, Chuck Israels on bass, Tony Williams on drums, and Patricia “Patty” T. on vocals on one track. The writing is richer and more layered, from soulful vamps to waltz‑like lyricism, yet unified by Hancock’s sense of structure and colour. The horns are given space to develop ideas; Green’s guitar…
Volume 2
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** On Volume 2, Miles Davis again fronts shifting line‑ups – including Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, and Horace Silver – in a programme that continues the exploration begun on its companion. The arrangements juxtapose brisk, tightly coiled numbers with more relaxed pieces that give Davis room to stretch his lyrical side. His phrasing shows a growing command of silence and attack; a single, slightly bent note can carry as much weight as a flurry of scales. The band’s in…
Mosaic
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** On Mosaic, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers show exactly why the band became a kind of graduate school for hard bop. This edition of the Messengers fields Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Cedar Walton at the piano, Jymie Merritt on bass, and Blakey himself driving the drums, a front line and rhythm section as elegant as they are explosive. The compositions are memorable without ever feeling formulaic, stit…
