Jazz -- In Stock -- LPs  

One of Sonny's brilliant west coast sessions for Contemporary -- records that shouldn't sparkle as much as they do, but which actually stand with his best work of the 50s! Sonny's blowing in front of a session of "leaders" that includes Hampton Hawes, Barney Kessel, Leroy Vinnegar,... read more

Nice batch of tracks that had been recorded earlier in Rollins career (during the late 50s), but which were unearthed in 1962 in an effort to cash in on Rollins' return to jazz playing. Even though the motivation behind the album was a bit mercenary, though, it's a nice thing that it came out --... read more

A groundbreaking album from Rollins, largely for the extended track "Tenor Madness", which runs on for 13 minutes, and features him and Coltrane blowing head to head -- redefining the sound of the tenor sax in jazz through the course of that amazing track! Backing is by the Red... read more

One of Sonny Rollins' sweetest electric sessions from the 70s -- a date that features Patrice Rushen handling some keyboards, and Lee Ritenour on guitar -- but Sonny blowing solid, soulful tenor all the way through! The setting is the sort that might initially turn off fans of Rollins' classic era... read more

A very unique album from Sonny Rollins -- one that features him blowing tenor over some Latin-based rhythms that have a tight uptempo feel. The core group on the album features Jim Hall on guitar, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and Ben Riley on drums -- but they're augmented by larger arrangements that mix... read more

An unbelievably fantastic album, and perhaps the greatest one that Dom Um Romao ever did! Dom recorded this one in America with a blend of Brazilian and New York musicians -- creating an incredible sound that's unlike anything else we can think of! We'd place this record next to the best electric... read more

An incredible set of Brazilian jazz -- one of the few albums that percussionist Dom Um Romao recorded as a leader, and sublime all the way through! The record's got a wonderful blend of funky fusion and Brazilian percussion -- and features a group from two continents that includes Sivuca on organ,... read more

One of the first albums ever cut as a leader by trombonist Frank Rosolino -- a hip set issued under the Kenton Presents banner for Capitol in the mid 50s, and featuring the company of other Kenton-ites like Charlie Mariano, Max Bennett, Mel Lewis, and Pete Jolly. The tracks have a simple west... read more

One of the best albums on the rare Mode label -- and a great quintet side by trombonist Frank Rosolino! The group here features Vince Guaraldi on piano, Richie Kamuca on tenor, Monty Budwig on bass, and Stan Levy on drums -- and the sound's a lot harder than you'd expect from the combo. Guraldi's... read more

Very nice little LA jazz session -- not necessarily for Rosolino's trombone, which is still pretty nice, but really for the presence of Charlie Mariano, who gets a good chance to lay down some great solos in the session's small quintet with Walter Norris, Max Bennett, and Stan Levy. The tracks are... read more

A great later effort from tenor sax giant Charlie Rouse -- a record that's quite different than his 50s hardbop or his 60s modernist work with Thelonious Monk -- but still pretty darn great in its own sort of way! The album features Rouse working with a larger ensemble in a batch of tracks that... read more

A brilliant record -- much more straight forward, and straight ahead, than much of Rudd's other work, which is why we like it so much! The album's an ingeniously subtle affair -- with Rudd on trombone and French horn, working with a small group that features Sheila Jordan on vocals, Hod O'Brien on... read more

Heavy fusion from Argentina -- an experimental album from the early 70s, played by a very hip group! The quintet features a lineup that includes some great Fender Rhodes by Fernando Gelbard, plus bass, drums, and soprano sax -- all coming together in a style that's partially influenced by electric... read more

Sheesh, Howard Rumsey sure knew how to stick his name on a lot of records! (He must have been trying to give Norman Granz and Leonard Feather a run for their money!) Fortunately, most of them were also great -- like this one, which features flute duets between Bob Cooper and either Bud Shank or... read more

A great little record -- and one that gets past the over-used "Howard Rumsey Lighthouse" name, to move into a set of 50s west coast jazz at its best! The core group features Bob Cooper, Frank Rosolino, Stu Williamson, Stan Levy, Victor Feldman, and Rumsey -- and for the session, they're... read more

Patrice Rushen's second album -- and a very sweet batch of keyboard funk! The record has Patrice working in a groove that's almost like that of Herbie Hancock at the time -- using lots of electric piano, clavinet, and synth to craft some mighty fine jazz funk grooves. The group's a monster... read more

Excellent sampler of her great stuff for Prestige from the 70's, with one track from each of the great LPs Prelusion and Before The Dawn, and the rest pulled from Shout It Out, which is our favorite. Much more soul jazz and funky fusion oriented than her later crossover work for Elektra, this... read more

A great set from Patrice Rushen -- very different than her later R&B work from the 80s! The record's her first, and at the time, Patrice was much more of a jazz artist -- working here with a cool west coast set of players (Joe Henderson on tenor, Hadley Caliman on alto and soprano, and Oscar... read more

A great set from Patrice Rushen -- very different than her later R&B work from the 80s! The record's her first, and at the time, Patrice was much more of a jazz artist -- working here with a cool west coast set of players (Joe Henderson on tenor, Hadley Caliman on alto and soprano, and Oscar... read more

A sweet little post-Black Jazz session from pianist Gene Russell -- done with a style that's a bit more straight overall, but still plenty darn nice! The feel here is often laidback and relaxed -- kind of a small club jazz groove, but augmented with funkier touches on a few of the album's best... read more

French reissue of a nice little set from Russell -- not to be confused with the Riverside LP with a similar title. Not as arch-modern as some of his later work, with strong playing in kind of that east coast chamber jazz mode that you'd find in some of the other RCA sides of the time. Players... read more

An important larger work from George Russell -- a suite for jazz orchestra, and one that offers up a mix of cool keyboards and dark-toned reeds! The ensemble is a fairly large one, but the record still retains a good sense of space -- a slow-building quality that's almost more evocative than some... read more

One of the great albums that Pee Wee Russell recorded for Impulse during the late 60's, when they brought him back for some great comeback LPs in a number of different settings. This one has him playing as the main soloist with Oliver Nelson's orchestra. As with most of Nelson's work from the 60's... read more

Incredible! This is a stunning set of African-inspired jazzy percussion tracks -- similar to some of the work done by Art Blakey on his Orgy In Rhythm albums, but with a lot better horn work, and with an overall conception that's much more unified! AK Salim did some sleepier work for Savoy in the... read more

God, we love this record -- and we're not ashamed to admit it! Sure, it sold a gazillion copies -- and sure, for some folks it showed the true demise of the Crusaders ensemble. But for us, it's a masterpiece of smooth fusion, and a landmark album of easy jazz that spawned countless imitators that... read more

Amazing funky jazz from the 70s -- a completely rare little set recorded in the Bay Area scene of the time -- featuring hip trumpet work from Woody Shaw, and lots of cool keyboards from Patrick Gleeson! The feel here is somewhere in the territory of work that Gleeson did with Herbie Hancock in the... read more

A righteous cover, a righteous title, and a righteous little session that features one long song that spans the entire length of the album! "Black Unity" may well be Pharoah Sanders' freest expression on record to date -- but it's also still got all the hallmarks of his best moments on... read more

A wonderful reunion of Pharoah Sanders and vocalist Leon Thomas -- and a set that captures a lot of the same energy as the pair's previous record -- Karma! Thomas' vocals are in wonderful form for the set -- stretching out soulfully on the extended classic "Hum-Allah-Hum-Allah-Hum-Allah"... read more

Quite a nice little album from Pharoah -- the kind of session we always overlooked when we were digging for Impulse titles, and which we're now going back to, and almost appreciating more than the classic ones! The album's a quartet session -- recorded live, of course -- with a freely swinging... read more

Pharoah Sanders is working here with some excellent horn players in the frontline -- Woody Shaw on trumpet and Gary Bartz on alto sax -- both of whom really bring a lot of power to the record! As with some of Sanders' other Impulse albums of the period, the record only features two long songs --... read more

... read more

Jazz, blues, rock, and soul collide -- in one of Merl's messed-up sets for Fantasy, recorded with a wealth of players that show the true crossover spirit of the Bay Area scene. Merl's on keyboards, and joining him are Jerry Garcia, Tom Fogerty, Bill Vitt, The Hawkins Singers, and "a fifth of... read more

... read more

One of the grooviest cats of the 60s -- heard here in an amazing array of jazz, bossa, and soundtrack recordings! Lalo Schifrin first rose to fame working in the group of Dizzy Gillespie, but by the time of these sides he was already stepping out strongly on his own -- as one of the freshest... read more

An overlooked soul jazz treasure from tenorist David Schnitter -- recorded with lots of warm tones, and buoyant kind of a Strata East sensibility! Schnitter stretches out in long, well-crafted solos -- sounding a bit like Ricky Ford or Clifford Jordan at the time -- situated well in a group that... read more

With Charles Owens, Bunk Gardner, Ann Patterson, and Schulman on reeds. Titles include "Scarlatti", "Toccata In F", "Nightcap", "Let's Talk", "But Not For Me", and "This Can't Be Love".... read more

Beautiful work from Italian saxophonist Enzo Scoppa -- a player who's known for his work in the Modern Jazz Gang, and in the Santucci-Scoppa combo -- but who sounds almost better here on his own as a leader! Enzo plays both tenor and soprano sax -- all with a depth of soul and care of tone that... read more

A very laidback and open album from Bobby Scott -- quite different than some of his more tightly arranged work! The album's a relaxed jazz set that focuses on Bobby's piano and vibes work -- the latter of which is a nice surprise, and which has some Victor Feldman-like sensitivity that we really... read more

A fantastic early LP by the amazing Jimmy Scott -- billed here as "Little Jimmy Scott"! Jimmy's fragile voice is in perfect form as he runs through a set that includes tracks like "Someone to Watch Over Me", "When Did You Leave Heaven", and "Why Don't You Open Up... read more

A simple formula, but one of Shirley's best records from the mid 60s, and a tight batch of quartet tracks that also features Stanley Turrentine on tenor. The title cut's a classic jazz stepper in Chicago, with a subtly loping groove that works pretty darn well. Other tracks include "Blue... read more

Swinging organ tracks from Shirley, with large band backing by Oliver Nelson, very much in the mode of Jimmy Smith's albums with Nelson on Verve! Includes a nice reading of the theme from "Shot In The Dark", plus "Hoe Down", "Shadows Of Paris", and "Great... read more

Early Shirley Scott at her best -- working with husband Stanley Turrentine (listed in the notes as "Stan Turner") to craft a great set of soul jazz tracks! The mood is laidback and easygoing, and honestly, it's Turrentine's deeply soulful solos that really make the set crackle --... read more

Hip Twist indeed -- as Shirley's joined here by husband Stanley Turrentine, whose tenor work on any Scott album always takes it to the next level! Stan's tone is still nice and raw here -- blowing out some hard and soulful lines that are the perfect complement to Shirley's more composed work on... read more

A great album from Shirley Scott -- with some excellent arrangements by Gary McFarland! We've always felt that Shirley plays best when she's not leading the group -- when someone else is handling the arrangements, so that she can groove mightily on her own -- and this album is a perfect... read more

One of Shirley Scott's trippy albums for Cadet, when she was being recorded with groups that were larger than usual -- which was, in our opinion, a good thing, since her organ solos were backed up by more than the usual bass and drums, and she was given a more creative setting to open up in. This... read more

Straight organ trio stuff from Shirley, with her as the lead soloist, backed by either George Duvivier or George Tucker on bass and Arthur Edgehill on drums. The tracks are mostly standards -- "Bye Bye Blackbird", "S'posin", "Indiana", "Summertime", "It... read more

Nice one -- and a record that's heavier-duty than Shirley's other ones on Prestige. The album (which might have been recorded in earlier days), supports a great group on the b-side, which includes Wally Richardson, Ronell Bright, Peck Morrison, and Roy Haynes. The expanded lineup works nicely --... read more

Sure, a number of Shirley's early Prestige sessions were real snoozers -- but this album, with husband Stanley Turrentine on tenor, cooks nicely, and has a lot more going on than usual. The pair were a great team while they lasted, and this album's one of their best together -- as you'll hear on... read more

Collection of soul jazz sides Shirley cut with her husband Stanley Turrentine. There's a number of rhythm sections represented here, with greats like Grasella Oliphant & Cnady Finch, and some nice slow burning organ & tenor workouts, like "The Very Thought Of You", "Out Of... read more

A wide range of styles here from saxophonist Tom Scott -- some tracks that are in the funkier fusion he scored with in the 70s, but others that have some soul and pop touches as well! Scott's horn is still nice and sharp when he gets to step out in the solo spotlight -- more so on the instrumental... read more

An excellent bit of space-age jazzy and grooviness! Don Sebesky conducts a host of crack Verve studio players, and the mix of instruments includes piano, sax, flute, guitar, and lots of moog. The basic groove has sort of a 70s funky soundtrack feel, and the instrumentation on top adds lots of... read more

One of the most ambitious albums on CTI -- a very large project in which Don Sebesky seems to work with just about everyone else who recorded for the label! The Giant Box title is apt -- as the record originally came packaged in a cardboard box -- room enough to hold the 2 records that comprised... read more

Ok, so we'll be the first to admit that Semuta aren't exactly a household name -- but that shouldn't stop you from checking out this excellent set! The group are an obscure one -- a late 70s British fusion ensemble with a strong Brazilian influence -- and they play in a sweetly soulful style that... read more

Although you may recognize Paul Serrano's name from the production credits on countless Chicago soul LPs (on just about every label), this LP's one of the few albums that the trumpeter ever cut in the straight jazz vein. It was put together as part of the "Cannonball Adderley Presents"... read more

Kind of a cool concept album for Doc Severinsen -- one that has him blowing amidst some larger suites arranged by Oliver Nelson, Harry Betts, and Tommy Newsom -- each with a slightly different feel! The set starts out with the hip "Rhapsody For Now" -- comprised of some cool 70s tunes... read more

A west coast classic -- featuring some of Bud Shank's best small group work of the mid 50s! The album has Shank playing in two different groups, one with Shorty Rogers on trumpet, one with the great Bill Perkins on tenor -- and we'll be honest in saying that Perkins' tone is incredible, a perfect... read more

5 years after they made their first set of groundbreaking Braziliany jazz tracks together, Bud Shank and Laurindo Almeida went back into the studio to record another great batch for Pacific Jazz. That second set of sessions is captured here in its entirety, and it features Shank and Almeida... read more

One of the best-ever Sonny Sharrock albums -- and one of the few that really captures the fresh genius of his approach! The set was recorded in New York during the period when Sonny had just come out of Herbie Mann's group with Roy Ayers -- but the sound is far far different than the lightly... read more

The second Folkways album from trumpeter Charles Shaw -- and even more wonderful than the first! This one changes up the groove a bit -- still sticking in Shaw's spiritual jazz vein at times, but also tripping things out a bit more with use of electric guitar and the ultra-cool "bag... read more

When we look back at these records and on his career, we feel Shaw was a pretty remarkable musician, making this sort of jazz, soaring and progressive yet totally accessible, throughout his career, which stretched into a period of the 70s and 80s when there was virtually no demand for this music. ... read more

A late date for Woody Shaw, but a great one too -- a bit more straightforward than some of his more righteous albums of the 70s, but still proof that Shaw is easily one of the greatest trumpeters of his generation! The album's got a laidback sort of feel, and features a fair bit of familiar... read more

A fantastic record -- one of Shaw's real landmarks of the 70s, and a lasting testament of soul jazz genius! The record features Shaw working with a group that includes a number of like-minded players -- Frank Strozier, Ronnie Matthews, and Stafford James -- all of whom fit together perfectly with... read more

A very groovy record -- one of two that George cut for MPS with his "Amigos" group -- essentially a Latin Percussion ensemble added to his core quintet with Sigi Schwab on guitar, Rusty Jones on drums, Andy Simpkins on bass, and Heribert Thusek on vibes. The added congas and timbales... read more

One of George's more jazz-based albums for Capitol from the 60s -- and a great set that features longer tunes, more open solos, and a young Gary Burton on vibes! The group's a quintet, with John Gray on guitar, playing in a tone that's a bit blusier than we're used to hearing with Shearing -- and... read more

Wonderful exotic work from George Shearing -- a mixture of jazz piano, Latin percussion, and lyrical guitar and vibes intertwined around the whole operation. The set's got the feel of a Martin Denny album -- but without all the easy tricks, and with a lot stronger jazz feel on the part of the... read more

Great work from Shearing -- gently Latin, in a mode that mixes his jazzy piano with percussion and flute, dancing around in a simple but strong approach to the material. Armando Peraza's in George's quintet here -- playing with the same strength that he brought to his later work with Cal Tjader --... read more

Arranged by Clare Fischer, Shearing plays a set of bossa nova standards including a few Clare Fischer compositions. The songs include "One Note Samba", "Blue Prelude", "Desafinado", "Pensativa", "On Green Dolphin Street", "Algo Novo",... read more

Titles include "Caravan", "Little Niles", "On The Street Where You Live", "Nothing But The Best", and "Little White Lies".... read more

Classic Shearing, from one of his best periods! The group's a great one -- a sublime mix of jazz and Latin, with some great players that include Armando Pereza and Willie Bobo on percussion, Johnny Rae on vibes, and Toots Thielemans on guitar and harmonica. Great moody stuff, with a fab rendition... read more

An incredible collective of musicians -- all recording here under the mighty leadership of Archie Shepp! The feel of the session is a highly collaborative one -- far more so than even Shepp's other Paris work for the BYG/Actuel label -- as a richly varied lineup that includes Leroy Jenkins, Sonny... read more

One of the most righteous albums ever from Archie Shepp -- a beautiful late Impulse set of grooves, and a record that matches the genius of Attica Blues! Shepp's working with a losse collective of players that includes Charles Greenlee, Harold Mabern, and Beaver Harris -- plus vocalists like Joe... read more

An overlooked killer from Archie Shepp -- a set that almost recalls some of the spiritual moments of his later Impulse work, and which definitely has him moving past some of the straighter sounds of this period in his career! Things are never too outside or free, but there's a balance with... read more

A great counterpart to some of Archie Shepp's studio albums for Impulse -- a live date recorded in San Francisco, with a slightly freer, sharper edge! The sound is almost free at times, but always with that strong sense of focus that Archie brought to his brilliant work of the time -- and the... read more

A great counterpart to some of Archie Shepp's studio albums for Impulse -- a live date recorded in San Francisco, with a slightly freer, sharper edge! The sound is almost free at times, but always with that strong sense of focus that Archie brought to his brilliant work of the time -- and the... read more

Pretty nice live material, and Shepp still barely hanging onto his out side, before moving into a period of greater traditionalism. He's playing here with Charles Greenlee on trombone, Dave Burrell on piano, Cameron Brown on bass, and Beaver Harris on drums -- and the tracks feature Shepp soloing... read more

A great little set from Archie Shepp -- one of his strongest of the 70s, and a real return to the kind of spiritual jamming he was doing at the end of his time with Impulse Records! The album's well-known for it's great track "Song For Mozambique" -- a spare and righteous number that... read more

One of Shepp's excellent straight sides from the late 70s -- and like the rest of the best, recorded as a Japanese-only session for Denon. The "silver" in the title is Horace Silver -- as 3 of the album's 4 long tracks are Silver compositions -- played by Shepp with a quintet that... read more

Archie Shepp at his spiritual best -- recording in Paris in 1969, and absorbing a heck of a lot pan-African influences! The centerpiece of the album is the amazing "Yasmina" -- a long track that builds with passion and fire, pulsing with an intensity that you'd expect more from Pharoah... read more

Double-length brilliance from the mighty Sahib Shihab -- a set that collects a number of killer 60s sessions with members of the Clarke Boland Big Band -- all of them great! The small combo work here is amazing -- hard-hitting modal jazz that matches, if not tops the best MPS/Saba sounds of the... read more

A legendary album from saxophonist Sahib Shihab -- a record that's gone onto become the birth of all things modal and club jazz in the current scene! Shihab always sounded great, no matter what the setting, but there was definitely something magical going on with this session -- a one-of-a-kind... read more

One of the mellowest and most laidback records ever from pianist Don Shirley -- and that's saying a lot, given the quietude of his other records! The lineup here is an unusual one -- with Shirley on both piano and organ, accompanied by two cellos and one bass -- all flowing in drumless splendor on... read more

A cornerstone of the Shorter direction in the 70s -- as Wayne works with fusion giants, like Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, and Dave Holland. He still manages to keep the whole thing real, though, and the record's a swirling mass of spiritual jazz, modal rhythms, and even a bit of Braziliana. ... read more

A great Wayne Shorter session from the mid 60s -- recorded then, but not issued until 1979, for some incredibly unexplained reason -- especially given the strength of the set! The group is distinctly modern, and features Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, James Spaulding on alto, and McCoy Tyner on piano... read more

An album of incredible beauty -- and one of the key early sides that Shorter cut for Blue Note! It's nearly impossible to describe the genius of these records without playing them -- and upon playing, all words disappear in the brilliance of Shorter's incredible tone, solo imagination, and writing!... read more

A really great set of big band jazz from late 60s LA -- a lot hipper than you might think, with traces of post-Coltrane work on the solos, some funky grooves at the bottom, and a number of other nice elements that make the set sparkle like some of the better sides of this nature coming from... read more

The lyrical genius at his best! Horace plays with a tight quintet that includes Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Doug Watkins, and Louis Hayes. Hayes is particularly great, and his warm drumming brings Silver's playing into a new range that still keeps a lot of his bop roots, but which also allows more... read more

Horace had more hits than most jazz musicians of his generation -- and it's only fitting that this best-of set shows up all over the place when we go digging through jazz collections. Most of the tracks are from the late 50s/early 60s years -- when Horace's group was a perfect blending of soul... read more

Great great early work by Horace -- featuring that hard-hitting blend of styles that characterized his early recordings with Art Blakey. The tracks are short, done with a great mix of lyricism and hard-edged playing -- and the writing is superb, especially on classics like "Doodlin",... read more

Early 60s magic from Horace Silver -- working here at the height of his youthful powers! The album's a perfect example of the sound that Silver created while at Blue Note -- a lyrically melodic approach to soul jazz, but one that was able to open up the rhythms past stock riffs and gimmicks -- and... read more

An excellent Horace Silver album -- oft overlooked, perhaps because of the silly cover or "hard to tell one from the other" high-concept theme that plagued a lot of his work during the 70s for Blue Note, but a great record nonetheless! The set's got some wonderful modal/spiritual numbers... read more

Late stuff -- but still pretty great work from Horace, who's working here in a mode that's in that "high concept" style that he'd been using on his United States Of Mind LPs. The bulk of the record's got a great soul jazz style that reminds us of some of the larger group ensembles on... read more

An incredible record -- the kind of album that only Blue Note could put out, and an instant classic that will sound wonderful forever! The album's truly one of the great ones -- one of those Blue Notes that still makes you stop and pause when you hear it, even though you've heard it a million... read more

One of the most righteous Horace Silver albums for Blue Note -- and a far-reaching, politically-bent batch of tracks that feature vocals by Andy Bey, in a similar style to the work he did on the Gary Bartz records from the time -- very hip, and quite different than other jazz vocal work from other... read more

No blues here, but a hell of a great soul jazz set from Norman Simmons -- the pianist who was a big part of the early 60s scene in Chicago, and who never really recorded that many albums as a leader! The record's got a super-hip lineup -- with Clifford Jordan on tenor, Jimmy Owens on trumpet,... read more

One of the first albums ever recorded by avant alto genius Sonny Simmons -- and one of the best! The session has a raw, jagged feel -- as a loose collective of players work their way through soaring, exploratory ideas of Sonny's -- very aptly titled Music From The Spheres. Players include Barbara... read more

One of THE classic Zoot Sims small group recordings of the 50s -- recorded with a quintet lineup that includes some great valve trombone work from Bob Brookmeyer! The overall sound isn't nearly as modern as you'd expect from the title -- but given that Brookmeyer's phrasing is fresh and inventive,... read more

One of the last Jimmy Smith albums for Blue Note, and a tasty trio session that features Quentin Warren on guitar and Donald Baily on drums. The tracks are short, but very groovy -- with a tighter sound than on some of Smith's other Blue Note trio albums, and the same kind of in-the-pocket sound... read more

One of Jimmy's most classic albums for Blue Note -- and a key example of why his solo skills on the organ surpassed most of his contemporaries! The record's got a stripped-down trio group of Jimmy, guitarist Quentin Warren, and drummer Donald Bailey -- working through mostly familiar numbers, but... read more

Like all of Jimmy's late 50s live sets, this is a killer, and features wild weird grooves, strangely played solos, and the kind of genius playing that makes you understand why Blue Note went so wild over Jimmy in the first place, and recorded him as much as they did. The tracks are standards --... read more

Classic work from Jimmy Smith -- a smokin' quartet session from the early 60's, one that sports a rare appearance by Percy France on tenor on most of the tracks! France has a great raw sound that gives the session a nice little edge -- and the rest of the group features Kenny Burrell on guitar,... read more
