Roost, 1947/1953. Sealed ... $11.99 29.99
Not the famous Verve Records pairing of Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker – but instead a more obscure live date from 1947, but one that really lets you hear the genius that happens when both players take the stage! The tunes have this approach that really hits at the most creative side of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Johnny Hartman —
And I Thought About You ... LP Roost, 1958. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
An obscure set from Johnny Hartman – cut in the years before his more famous Impulse recordings, and with a mellower, lusher sound that casts his incredible vocals in a warm romantic setting! The orchestrations are by the little-known Rudy Traylor, and have a full feel that's similar to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s Spanish Fresh Sound reissue. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Roost, 1956. Near Mint- ... $43.99 49.99
Early work by singer Beverly Kenny – a great 50s jazz vocalist who never got her due, but who managed to make some pretty fine records at the time! This album's one of them, and features backings from Ralph Burns – not as dark and moody as some of his other work of the 50s, and in a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Charlie Parker —
All Star Sextet ... LP Roost, Early 50s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Classic bop session work, featuring Bird, Miles, JJ Johnson, Max Roach, Duke Jordan, and Tommy Potter. There's no surprises here, but the playing's tight as a tick, and the short tracks are a fierce declaration of the bop idiom. Titles include "Bongo Bop", "Bird Feathers", ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Johnny Smith —
In A Sentimental Mood (10 inch LP) ... LP Roost, 1954. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Mighty nice early work from this jazz guitar genius – the kind of open, airy sounds that made Johnny Smith a legend right from the start!

(A nice clean copy – and cover is nice, with no splits!)

Roost, Early 50s. Very Good+ ... $14.99 24.99
A beautiful document of some of the most laidback jazz ever recorded – the sublime 50s recordings of the Johnny Smith quintet, done at a time when the lineup included Stan Getz!

Roost, 1956. Very Good ... $38.99
The title might sound a bit clinical, but the music within is anything but – and instead is that sort of special, magical work that always makes Sonny Stitt a real cut above most of his contemporaries! The notes try to link Stitt to Charlie Parker – but apart from a postwar sense of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue label Royal Roost pressing – a nice clean copy. Cover is nice too.)
Sonny Stitt —
Sonny Side Of Stitt ... LP Roost, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Sublime work from Stitt! The record has a subtle genius that's impossible to describe with words – as Stitt's tone and economy on the album's solos are the pure stuff that you only find after panning through an endless stream of post-bop LPs by players of his generation. The album's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Roost, Mid 50s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Beautiful Roost material from Sonny Stitt – solid, mature, and extremely well-placed lines on the alto sax – all caught at a level that's higher than most of his contemporaries were dising out at the time! The boppier side of Stitt's roots is nicely suppressed here – and in its ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Stitt Goes Latin ... LP Roost, 1963. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Sonny Stitt goes Latin – and the results are tremendous!
