Jazz -- In Stock -- LPs  

The sticks are up, and Bobby Hutcherson is at the top of his game -- hitting a whole new groove here in this sublime session of modal numbers for Blue Note -- a slightly warmer set than his more modern albums of the "new thing" years, and a great indication of the directions he'd take in... read more

One of the sweet soulful albums that Bobby cut during his partnership with tenorist Harold Land, and a record that also has the group joined by Chick Corea, who's still playing quite nicely at this point. The quintet is rounded out by Reggie Johnson on bass and Joe Chambers on drums, and the... read more

An oft-overlooked gem from 70s Blue Note -- possibly because it's a mixed-leader album, or because it features an unusual setting -- but a great little record that's especially nice for the Bobby Hutcherson material! As you'd guess from the title, there's a larger orchestra working with the... read more

One of the most roosty albums on Blue Note -- and a fairly straight session of African percussion tracks by Solomon Ilori and his Afro Drum Ensemble. Unlike similar albums by Art Blakey, this one lacks any strong sort of jazz component -- and really just features fairly straight African tracks,... read more

Beautiful trio material from Italian pianist Enrico Intra -- a player with a great sense of rhythm, and a nice sharp edge in his music! Intra's piano is quite modern at times, although never in ways that are too out or academic -- always coming back to the inside for some warmer notes that really... read more

A classic! This is one of the rarest of the rare of all Blue Note albums -- and it's the only-ever session cut as a leader by the great tenor player Fred Jackson!

Milt's definitely in a new setting here -- playing with a good little soul jazz combo that includes Jimmy Heath on tenor, McCoy Tyner on piano, and Bob Cranshaw on bass. The overall sound is much tighter than Milt's earlier work -- with a focus on groovy short cuts that have a nice... read more

One of the best-known 50s jazz sessions from the Savoy label -- a laidback classic that's a great illustration of the label's shift in modes after the early bop years!

An incredible collaboration from John Coltrane and Milt Jackson -- and one that gives Milt one of his sharpest records ever! The setting is relatively straight -- tenor from Coltrane, vibes from Jackson -- plus rhythm from Hank Jones on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Connie Kay on drums. Yet... read more

A sweet soul jazz burner from Willis Jackson -- one that features his combo with Pat Martino on guitar and Carl Wilson on organ, as well as some great trumpet lines form Frank Robinson -- shimmering nicely over the top of the tunes!

Willis is anything but loose on this set -- as the band and him are grooving in some wonderfully uptight soul jazz lines! The format's a bit more gutbuckety than some of his later work, with Carl Wilson playing chunky Hammond grooves, Frank Robinson punching it up on trumpet, and Bill Jones... read more

One of Willis Jackson's rarest -- and a very groovy set from the late 60s, one that features organ work by the great Trudy Pitts, guitar by Wild Bill Jennings, and conga by Victor Allende! Not only that, but the set's driven by some electric bass work by Jimmy Lewis -- and has a groove that's... read more

The title's righter than you might think -- as Willis DOES play with feeling, despite a cheesy-looking cover that might make you think otherwise! The groove here is tight and smooth 70s jazz funk -- very much in the mode of some of the more fully-arranged Kudu and CTI albums of the time, with... read more

A classic set of soul jazz tracks from Gator Tail and Brother Jack McDuff -- recorded in a raw grooving style, very similar to that used on some of their live recordings from the same time. The core of the group features Bill Jennings on guitar and Wendell Marshall on bass, but some of the rhythm... read more

Collection of jazz tunes recorded for the Prestige label in the 60s, all with girl's names for titles, which we guess puts one in the mood for love. . .Still it's a nice collection of tunes: Wardell gray "Sweet Loraine", Shirley Scott "Laura", Yusef Lateef "Anastasia",... read more

A new age title, but a great straight-ahead set from Ahmad Jamal -- played with all the fluidity of his many years in jazz!

This mid 60s set for Cadet finds Jamal and his trio, featuring Jamil Nasser on bass and Frank Gant on drums playing it cool despite the title -- which is actually the Irving Berlin penned lead track. Other tracks include a rendition of Sonny Rollins' "St. Thomas", the latin-tinged "M... read more

A compelling title -- as the record was recorded at Nola Penthouse Studios in New York, one of the hippest places to lay down tracks at the time -- but the cover shows an image of the Playboy building in Chicago, famous from the TV show Playboy's Penthouse, Hugh Hefner's first foray into television!... read more

The "revisited" in the title refers to Jamal's earlier success on Argo records with a recording of "Poinciana" -- one that forever made the tune his, thanks to a long-flowing approach that took the familiar standard, and turned it into the perfect foil for Jamal's expressive... read more

One of Ahmad Jamal's great mid 80s sets for Atlantic Records -- recorded in a spacious acoustic mode that has Jamal crafting beautiful tones on the Steinway, yet never falling into overindulgence!

The 4th in Bob James legendary run of Fender Rhodes classics for CTI -- and a record that still has him working with the dark edges that made the first few so great!

A nice litle set from Bob James -- thanks to a good degree of warmth in the keyboards, which still include Fender Rhodes alongside acoustic piano and some more advanced 80s keys! While other artists of his generation were really schmaltzing things up by this point in time, Bob still keeps things... read more

Heads or tails, it's a winner every time -- as the record's one of the last clear moments of genius from keyboardist Bob James in the 70s! The sound here is stepping out a bit more from Bob's earlier sides on CTI, but there's still plenty of great keyboard work to make the album worth seeking out -... read more

Soulful 80s work from Bob James -- a record that features him working a bit with Rod Temperton of Heatwave, in a style that's got a few more soul-based modes than before! Temperton wrote half of the tracks on the record -- the tighter, catchier ones that often use a bit of backing vocals alongside... read more

Dark genius from keyboardist Bob James -- one of his seminal 70s classics for CTI! The album follows strongly in the spirit of the records One and Two -- using James' spacious approach to Fender Rhodes alongside some backings that are electric, yet have an earthily funky quality that really sets... read more

Sweet electric keys from the great Bob James -- a record that's a bit smoother than some of his first few classics for CTI, but still plenty darn nice!

One of their many fantastic live sets from The Lighthouse -- just about all of which are excellent.

Obscure little session issued briefly on Argo during the early 60s, and featuring a little known group with a vibes/piano frontline.

One of our favorite albums ever from Eddie Jefferson -- one of the last sessions he ever recorded as a leader, and a stone cooker through and through!

A very cool record that has Elvin Jones playing with Dollar Brand on piano on a number of cuts, and with a sound that's a lot more like some of Brand's Afro-grooves than it is like some of Jones' other straight jazz albums. The highlight here is "Midnight Walk", but there's loads of... read more

Elvin's in full post-Coltrane chopping away mode here -- working with Steve Grossman on saxes, whose angular style proved to be a fitting replacement for Joe Farrell, who was earlier helping Jones to forge his style.

Titles include "Blue Monk", "I Mean You", "Jackie-Ing", "Algo Bueno", and "Sippin At Bells".... read more

Amazing stuff from Ivan Boogaloo Joe Jones! Unlike some of the other players on Prestige during the early 70s -- who often got a bit weaker as the decade moved on, thanks to the departure of some of the better forces arranging and producing the records -- Jones kept on playing hard, improving his... read more

Landmark stuff -- a killer session of funky guitar jazz, and the record that gave Ivan "Boogaloo" Joe Jones his nickname! The set's a full-on wailer that really blows away Joe's first two on Prestige -- breaking out ouf the box with a killer lineup that includes Rusty Bryant on tenor,... read more

Great work from the legendary big band of Thad Jones and Mel Lewis -- a live performance recorded in Switzerland at the same time as the group's classic recordings for the Solid State label! Given that the date was recorded by Solid State producer Sonny Lester, the feel here is quite similar --... read more

The first album by the group that later went on to become Oneness Of Juju! The album was recorded with a group that featured Plunky Nakabinde and Lon Moshe on reeds and percussion -- plus Babatunde on congas and drums -- and the overall sound is very much in kind of an Art Ensemble Of Chicago mode... read more

A killer bit of west coast jazz from the 50s -- and hardly what you might expect from the title!

It is, however, one of the few sessions led by tenorist Richie Kamuca, a great player... read more

A lost chapter in the career of cellist Fred Katz -- an album recorded after his small combo work with Chico Hamilton, and sort of a larger group take on the whimsical sound of the classic Hamilton Quintet!

Rock-solid work from Wynton Kelly -- a standout trio side from the early 60s, and one of his few dates recorded for Vee Jay Records! Kelly seems to have a bit more kick here than in the 50s -- and a bit more of a down to earth quality than on his later sides for Verve -- really laying back on the... read more

An indie set from early 80s Detroit -- one that features reedman Kamau Kenyatta in the lead, working with a lineup that has mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation! Kenyatta plays soprano and tenor sax, plus a bit of acoustic piano -- and his tones are somewhat sharp-edged, but soulful --... read more

A gem by Lee Konitz -- one of his near-perfect 50s sessions for Atlantic!
