Continuing on the jazz tip more rare as hen's teeth jazz from the sixties and seventies or thereabouts.
Pete La Roca - Bliss (1967)
With elements of Latin, oriental and afro sounds threaded throughout this LP it’s not the most straightforward recording to capture with words. Featuring Chick Corea, John Gilmore and Walter Brooker the pedigree is without doubt there but La Roca’s treatment of percussive sounds bring out something very special in each of the players. The stand out track for me is simply titled ‘Bliss’. While the track does, for me at least, bring forward this emotion there’s also some sadness infused that stems from Brooker's bass which makes this track a bitter sweet dose of aural opium.

More very rare jazz stuff including some sitars and way out grooves -
Harry Beckett - Rolly's Tune
A 1970 classic from the Barbados-born trumpeter, arranged by Graham Collier taken from the album Flare Up. This is essential for anyone interested in British jazz: the triple-sax front line is comprised of John Surman, Alan Skidmore and Mike Osborne, with Chris Laurence and John Webb on bass and drums alternately, Frank Ricotti on vibes and congas, and John Taylor's uncredited Fender Rhodes piano.
