Charlie Parker/Debut, 1953. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A legendary live performance, and one that's often billed as a high moment in the history of bebop – a special concert-only group that brings together five key bop heavyweights – Charlie Parker on alto, Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet, Bud Powell on piano, Charles Mingus on bass, and Max ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Let 'Em Roll ... LP Blue Note, 1965. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A wonderfully wicked meeting of the minds – and a legendary bit of soul jazz from organist Big John Patton!

Way I Feel ... LP Blue Note, 1964. Near Mint- ... $49.99
A record that's every bit as cool as its cover – and one of the strongest Blue Note sessions from Hammond organ legend Big John Patton! The tracks are long, and have a great loping rhythm – a groove that Patton creates by using the bass pedals alongside the drums of Ben Dixon – a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Cover has some surface wear & aging, small splits on the top & bottom seams.)
Charlie Parker, 1961. Very Good+ ... $6.99
As you'd expect from the title, this one features Cecil Payne performing a number of Charlie Parker compositions – and for the Charlie Parker label, no less! The session has a slightly off-beat quality, given that Payne's horn is a baritone, and not an alto, like Parker's – but given ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono black label pressing with deep groove. Vinyl has a short click on "Communion".)
Savoy, 1957. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $9.99

There's a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

ECM, 1982. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A beautifully rich session from bassist Gary Peacock – one that draws equal energy from his three associates on the date – all of whom did some great ECM Records work on their own!

Blue Note, 1967. Sealed ... $29.99
One of the hippest sets that Duke Pearson ever recorded – and an all-out Blue Note soul jazz set that's even better than Pearson's classic Sweet Honey Bee!

Capitol, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $5.99 7.99
A pretty strange concept for an album – a bunch of LA jazz players get together and do versions of songs usually associated with the south!

(80s Italian pressing. Cover has surface, ring, & edge wear.)
Contemporary, 1976. Near Mint- ... $24.99
The "trip" here is a mellow one – not the soaring, spacey style you might expect in a long line of drug-reference titles for Art Pepper albums – but that difference is a-ok with us, because Art's really hitting some great new territory here, thanks to a hip trio that includes ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Village (Germany), 1980. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A sweet little album of breezy jazz – with vocals by Joan Johnson on a number of tracks, and that modally grooving post-MPS sound that still resonated strongly on a few German labels at the end of the 70s! The real star here is Peters, whose work on saxes is great – kind of pinched in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Clef, 1952/1954. Near Mint- ... $19.99 24.99
A great early example of the genius of mixing guitar with the piano of Oscar Peterson – a move that might have been inspired by the success of Ahmad Jamal, but which works equally well for Peterson's sound on the keys!

Although bassist Oscar Pettiford left a huge influence on jazz before his untimely death, there's not actually that many fantastic records in which he's featured as a leader.

Sunday Walk ... LP MPS, 1967. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
