Listen to delicious jazz served on warm vinyl with a side of snap, crackle and pop. Chill 70's era Buddy Rich featuring Sonny Fortune on the flute; jawdropping guitar technique and fluency from the incredibly overlooked Howard Roberts; classic and timeless cuts from Sonny Rollins and Horace Silver, irresistible funk from Patrice Rushen and large ensemble music as only innovator George Russell could present it. Variety is your key to happy ears. Enjoy in the player below and thank you for visiting!
