Theses are six albums I've particularly loved recently, some new to me and some upgrades of favourite albums ... also Reza added his own six recent favourites in the comments , so I've added them at the base. Hope you enjoy these!
"Schoolhouse Bigband Funk Vol 1". One of the best funky bigband comps ever. Seriously. Really. I don't care if you don't like "bigband", just get it at Fraykerbreaks.
Minority Band - "Journey to the Shore" (1980). Great private press jazz/funk at A Pyrex Scholar 
The Lightmen Plus One - "Energy Control Centre" (1972) Pure wonderfulness at Private Press
A new FLAC rip of one of my very favourite library records, "The Brazilian Suite" (1970) by composer/arranger Rogerio Duprat at Loronix.
FLAC rip of the Brazil classic "Tropical" by Meireles & Copa 7 at new blog Guitar and the Wind. You need this.
Cuban jazz banger "2" from Emiliano Salvador at Orgy In Rhythm.PLUS : SIX FROM REZA

thanks a bunch guys
thanks Simon and Reza for the heads up!!
blimey, i'd missed 4 of those Simon. the minority band is a bit tasty, not had a chance to listen to the other ones yet. Thanks Reza for the killer links as well
thanks for the recommendations.
@ Katonah - well glad you didn't miss your own one at least :)
@ Reza - Thanks for those. Yes, you've marked me right, the Tom Harrell is great, love the "Afro Drums" as well.
Re the 1975 "Dr Tree" one from NZ - the drummer from that one worked on an album by Don Burrows the next year that I'll have up in the near future, it's got an expanded version of that nice (but short) opening track "The Twilight Zone".
Thanks for comments guys.
@ Reza again (see comment above first) - I've added your six at the base of the post. The Arnie Lawrence seems unavailable right now, could be a temp Divshare problem ...
Thanks for the promotion! Being displayed here doubled the number of downloads of 'Tropical'.
Hey Simon, thanx for the 'pointers' and 'directions' to all these superb music. You surpass yourself all the time. Many thanks to Reza too.
Cheers guys.
Minority Band is terrific!!
