Clef, Early 50s. Very Good ... $28.99
Great Verve material from Lionel Hampton – and like most of his sides for the label, a set that offers small combo grooving in a very stretched out setting! The album only features four long tracks – and Hampton's vibes are set up nicely with a trio that includes Oscar Peterson on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Heavy Clef label trumpeter logo pressing with deep groove – nice and clean! Cover has some splitting on the bottom seam, which also has a light tape trace – but this is a nice clean copy overall.)

Warner, 1969. Very Good+ ... $58.99
The start of funky funky Herbie Hancock! This album's the first to feature Herbie really breaking away from his straight jazz work – moving into a groove that's nice and funky, using electric piano along with acoustic, to forge the sound that he'd develop famously over the 70s. The album's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Future Shock ... LP Columbia, 1983. Near Mint- ... $14.99
The future is now! Or at least it seemed to be back in 1983 when Herbie teamed up with Bill Laswell to record this classic album of computer-driven keyboard grooves!

Verve, 1996. New Copy 2LP ... $51.99 56.99

The "new standard" in the title is a reference ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Columbia, 1988. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Herbie's still in electro-grooving mode here – not groundbreaking as earlier records, but still handled by Bill Laswell, and with a tackhead groove pretty firmly in place.

Speak Like A Child (180 gram pressing) ... LP Blue Note, 1968. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $25.99 28.99
A wonderful Herbie Hancock session from the 60s – a Blue Note album that's sometimes overlooked, but which really shows Herbie taking off – as he adds a nice dose of lyricism into his usual soul jazz approach from the 60s!

Columbia, 1954. Near Mint- ... $5.99
A great collection of work from one of the hippest bandleaders to emerge in the swing generation – and one of the few to be able to tie his approach to the growing worlds of modern jazz and jump jive too!

Monk Higgins —
Heavyweight ... LP United Artists, 1972. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
