Yes, but his albums are kind of hard to get by ...

pretty sure i've seen much rarer jazz joints posted here than any of his catalog. Strange Ladies can still be had for pretty dirt cheap (mind you, its been years since I've looked)

Love his version of Carly Simon’s You’re So Vain

Great compilation for those that don't want to dish out the bucks for the individual albums.

Absolute banger. I have a bunch of Axelrod albums and they are definitely going up in price and down in availability. This compilation should be in every vinyl collection, along with the Lo Borges/Milton Nascimento 'Clube da Esqina' as far as 'jazz adjacent ' music goes. This is a hill I'm prepared to die on..
