Funked Up East (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCowyry-xWRrdbQWlWkvq5fQ) has been on YouTube for seven or so years, and almost every video is an album of Warsaw Pact or Soviet jazz (or various types of non-top-40 music) running from the 1960s to the early 1990s. I found it while looking for the WFMU floating record (http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2005/07/wfmus_amazing_f.html), which is this trad jazz Gershwin album done by the Leonid Chizhik Trio in Moscow, 1977 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP1_V_QvnDM).
You get Soviet Estonian bossanova (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLXmO4AlE38), the Andrzej Trzaskowski Sextet playing with Ted Curson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCRe8OwFwk8) in Poland (1967), Vagif Mustafa Zadeh (also spelled "Vaqif Mustafazadə"*) from Soviet Azerbaijan doing jazz fusion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyMovivSh-Q) in 1979, the Rolf Kühn Quintett's album (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxYejExNdbU) Solarius from East Germany (1965) - all that's the tip of the iceberg. The channel also has unreleased stuff, such as the Soviet garage band Lel' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD5D9VZigQc), Yuri Morozov's electronic space album Human Extinction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIcgGc3cb-k), etc.

* In Azerbaijani. It's a Turkic language that is mutually intelligible with Turkish; the people are also known as Azeris or "Azerbaijani Turks."

Special mention for this album because of the cover:

It's like a day at the DMV*!
(Or the MVC if you live in New Jersey.)

My favorite Soviet era jazz band = The Ganelin Trio. They have such a playful spirit. They also can play beautifully when they want to.
