This is the third album of BS&T which managed to be quite impressive as the previous two. BS&T 3 was another chart-topping gold hit. A great album by all means. Have fun!

Originally released as Man of Words/Man of Music, Space Oddity was David Bowie's first successful reinvention of himself. The album, produced by Tony Visconti (bar 'Space Oddity' itself which was produced by the late Gus Dudgeon), was a giant leap forward in terms of songwriting for Bowie compared to his eponymous debut, and can be considered as the first truly essential David Bowie album. Highly recommended, have fun!

BS&T 4 is the fourth album by the band Blood, Sweat & Tears, released in 1971. Singer David Clayton-Thomas contributed the Top 40 hit "Go Down Gamblin'," and he and keyboard player Dick Halligan collaborated on another chart entry, "Lisa, Listen to Me." Ex-bandleader Al Kooper even contributed a track, "John the Baptist (Holy John)". Enjoy!

As a solo artist, Diana Ross is one of the most successful female singers of the rock era. If you factor in her work as the lead singer of the Supremes in the 1960s, she may be the most successful. In this edition posted here, the U.K. edition of The Force Behind the Power, there's an additional song, "No Matter What You Do," which is a duet with Al B. Sure!. Have fun!

"Misplaced Childhood" is seen by many as the definitive Marillion album, and it is hard to argue. The music is stylistically typical of their first three albums and has far fewer flat spots than Fugazi. It also contains that most unproglike of beasts, a hit single. The infectious "Kayleigh" reached number 2 on the British charts. A great album - Have fun!

Though some will argue about whether Wayne Shorter's primary impact on jazz has been as a composer or as a saxophonist, hardly anyone will dispute his overall importance as one of jazz's leading figures over a long span of time. This edition of the album adds a fine alternate take of "Dance Cadaverous." This is a 5/5 star album! Enjoy!

Wes Montgomery was one of the great jazz guitarists, a natural extension of Charlie Christian, whose appealing use of octaves became influential and his trademark. He achieved great commercial success during his last few years, only to die prematurely. This is one of his most commercial records that made him a household name and a staple on AM radio. Have fun!

This is a truly inspiring record. Recorded in Sweden in 1965, these celebrated recordings marked Ornette Coleman's return to activity following a three-year self-imposed exile from performing in public. Ornette Coleman is considered one of the most important (and controversial) innovators of the jazz avant-garde. Enjoy this beautiful record!

This is an album of cover material by one of the great masters in rock history. It is David Bowie's kind of tribute to the sixties contains familiar and obscure covers from The Kinks, The Merseys, Yardbirds and Pink Floyd among others. Have fun!

This CD pairs two unusual Coltrane sessions made when Elvin Jones was absent from the saxophonist's quartet. His replacement on both occasions was the estimable Roy Haynes. A superb drummer who had worked regularly in the preceding years with Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, and Thelonious Monk, Haynes brought his own distinctive touch to the quartet's chemistry, an almost lacy dance around the beat and a lighter touch than Jones's powerful polyrhythms. The 1963 session produced "After the Rain," one of Coltrane's most majestic invocations, and "Dear Old Stockholm," the folk tune first recorded by Stan Getz. Here it receives an extended exploration of its minor mode, capped by a beautiful Coltrane cadenza. The 1965 session finds Coltrane in one of his most tumultuous periods, bringing singular intensity and convoluted invention to "After the Crescent" and "One Down, One Up," and meditative depth to "Dear Lord." Enjoy!

This John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman edition is very rare and hard to find anymore since the product is discontinued by the manufacturer. It was first published in 1986 by MCA. This is a German pressing of that edition which was digitally remastered from the original stereo master tapes and includes 7 songs (most of the other releases carry 6 tracks). I think some of you will appreciate this collectible item. Have fun!

This album from John Coltrane's last recordings took place in February and march 1967. This last album is not titled a s a memorial album or as an album in tribute because it was titled by Coltrane himself the Friday before his death on Monday, July 17, 1967.

Whether legendary jazz saxophonist John Coltrane was inverting bebop chord structures or inducing meditational depth with his complex melodies, he seemed to shift gears and gain new expertise with every passing year in the 1960s. Not released initially until 1977, the music on this 1992 CD was the last recording made by the classic John Coltrane Quartet. Don't miss it! have fun!

Considered by many to be the finest jazz trombonist of all time, J.J. Johnson somehow transferred the innovations of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie to his more awkward instrument, playing with such speed and deceptive ease that at one time some listeners assumed he was playing valve (rather than slide) trombone. This is one of his "hard to find" albums and a 5/5 star wise! Enjoy!
