Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd

Jazz Samba - 2026 Repress

While the 1953 Bud Shank/Laurindo Almeida recordings were the precursors of bossa nova- jazz fusion, the 1962 Stan Getz / Charlie Byrd LP Jazz Samba was the album that started the world-wide craze for this exotic genre of Brazilian jazz.

Other producers and artists were quick to exploit the Bossa Nova craze in the first half of the '60s, and whilst no longer considered a craze, the genre remains an important part of today's popular jazz scene.

"A revelatory classic. Absolutely essential for any jazz collection." - ***** Steve Huey, AllMusic

Includes the bonus tracks 'O Pato (The Duck)' & 'So Danco Samba'.

John Coltrane

My Favourite Things - 2026 Repress

My Favorite Things is one of John Coltrane 's all time bestselling LPs. Recorded in 1960 for Atlantic Records during three marathon sessions that also produced enough music for four subsequent albums: Coltrane Plays the Blues, Coltrane's Sound, and Coltrane Legacy.

The LP's title tune belongs to the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music, which at the time, might have seemed an odd choice by critics and fans. However, in Coltrane's hand the tune is spun out with an Eastern sound, a waltz reminiscent of a dervish dance, hypnotic and totally engaging. An edited version of the track was issued as a single and gained popularity across US radio stations, resulting in the LP becoming a major commercial success.

My Favorite Things features John Coltrane 's first recorded performance on soprano saxophone - an instrument gifted to him by Miles Davis.

Charles Mingus

Mingus Ah Um - 2025 Reissue

The Penguin Guide to Jazz called 'Mingus Ah Um' "an extended tribute to ancestors" and awarded it with one of their rarely given Crown accreditations. It is, in fact, one of Mingus' most personal albums, and produced a series of songs that have become standards. 'Better Git It in Your Soul' is inspired by gospel singing and preaching of the sort that Mingus would have heard as a child growing up in Watts, while 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat' is a reference to saxophonist Lester Young who had died shortly before the album was recorded.
