Nat Adderley —
Calling Out Loud ... LP CTI/A&M, 1968. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A pretty great little album from Nat – recorded with arrangements by Bill Fischer, who gives the record a tightly compressed big band sound that's perfect for Nat's sharp funky horn! The album's not exactly "funk", but there's plenty of it in the mix – as lead horn grooves ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Nat Adderley —
You Baby ... LP CTI/A&M, 1968. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A really great record from this hip horn player – a set on which Nat Adderley demonstrates that he can be as funky as brother Cannonball, in a nice set of short groovers recorded for CTI from the late 60s! The record is one of Nat's few funky ones, and he's got some nice backing by Joe ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Herb Alpert —
Blow Your Own Horn ... LP A&M, 1983. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A great one from the later Herb – one of those sets that has him turning his strong talent for a trumpet solo in the direction of soulful fusion and R&B-inflected jazz – maybe taking a page from the book of Chuck Mangione or Maynard Ferguson in the process, but definitely giving ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Herb Alpert —
Keep Your Eye On Me ... LP A&M, 1987. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Herb Alpert & Hugh Masekela ... LP A&M, 1978. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Two top trumpet talents – coming together beautifully on this groovy late 70s set! Both Herb Alpert and Hugh Masekela had a big rise to fame in the 60s – Herb, for his Tijuana Brass albums on A&M – and Hugh, for the way that he brought South African jazz currents to the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has faint ring wear.)
A&M, 1976. Near Mint- ... $7.99
One of Gato Barbieri's later recordings – but don't hold that against it! The set's a smoother effort than most of Gato's earlier work, but it's also still pretty darn soulful – done in a way that allows plenty of space for his raspy reed work on tenor to flow over the top of larger ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve, with bent corners. Cover has light ringwear, some edge wear, and a small section at the top where some writing in pen was removed.)
Gato Barbieri —
Tropico ... LP A&M, 1978. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A far reaching late 70s set from Gato Barbieri – a record that blends fusiony jazz funk, lush stings, and Latin rhythms and fluid solos on a varied batch of tunes! One of the more interesting things about the production is that those varied approaches often come into play within the same ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cutout notch.)
George Benson —
Other Side Of Abbey Road ... LP CTI/A&M, 1969. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A wonderfully wicked album – one that sold so many copies that it's sometimes hard to remember how great it is! George takes on all of Abbey Road – or just about all of it – as he runs through some of the most beautiful tracks The Beatles ever wrote, like "Golden ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Later grey label A&M pressing in a non-gatefold cover, with wide obi. Cover has some ring and edge wear, yellowing from age, some faded marker and light stains in front, and a yellowed sticker spot in back.)
Anthony Braxton —
Seven Standards 1985 Vol 2 ... LP Magenta/A&M, 1985. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
If you've never heard Anthony Braxton play straight jazz, you owe it to yourself to check out this performance – it's a delight, like some of his few straight sets!

Dave Brubeck & Paul Desmond —
1975 – The Duets ... LP A&M, 1975. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Excellent mid 70s duet jazz from pianist Dave Brubeck & alto Paul Desmond! Duets 1975 is a nicely laidback work from the duo – playing here with no other accompaniment, in a spare set of material that's incredibly fragile and intimate – and all the better for that. The move is a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available 1975 – The Duets (LP sleeve edition) ... CD 2.99(Cover has price code stickers and a partially unglued bottom seam.)
Artie Butler —
Have You Met Miss Jones? ... LP A&M, 1968. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

Don Cherry —
Art Deco ... LP A&M, 1989. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A really back to basics album from trumpeter Don Cherry – or maybe a set that goes back to basics that Don didn't even have, given that most folks initially heard him in the freewheeling group of Ornette Coleman! The album's straighter than his work with Ornette, and also different than his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Don Cherry —
Don Cherry (aka Brown Rice) ... LP Horizon/A&M, 1976. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $19.99
Mindblowing music from the great Don Cherry – quite a statement, given how much fantastic sounds Cherry had already given us by this point in his career! In the years before this set, Don had worked in some very free, avant modes – and also explored a fair bit of global styles too ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Paul Desmond —
Bridge Over Troubled Water ... LP A&M, 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
The legendary alto saxophonist Paul Desmond serves up his own versions of key tunes by Simon & Garfunkel – with results that are simply amazing, and very different than the originals!

A&M, 1975. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
One of our favorite Paul Desmond records of all time – a set of understated brilliance that really lets him display his genius! Desmond at this time had been lost in some other sets that respected his talents, but didn't offer the greatest proof that he'd been growing as an artist – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a taped newspaper clipping inside the gatefold.)
Paul Desmond —
Summertime ... LP CTI/A&M, 1968. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A perfect complement to Paul's other early CTI album – From The Hot Afternoon – and like that one, this album's a swirling match of tracks that mix together bossa rhythms, jazzy orchestrations, and Desmond's impeccably sharp alto sax. Don Sebesky handled the arrangements, giving the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sonny Fortune —
Waves Of Dreams ... LP A&M/Horizon, 1976. Sealed Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A really wonderful album by Sonny Fortune – recorded for a major label, sure, but with the soulful depth of some of his earlier work for the indies! Sonny's on alto, flute, and soprano sax – and also plays a bit of percussion and some slight mini moog – not too much, as the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Charlie Haden —
Closeness ... LP Horizon/A&M, 1976. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $24.99
Charlie Haden has made many wonderful albums over the years, in many different formats, both large and small – but this set holds a really special place in our heart, as it's got this close-up and intimate approach that really shows the world what a special musician Haden can be! Each track ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Jim Hall —
Jim Hall Live In Tokyo ... LP A&M (Japan), 1976. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A rare 70s set from guitarist Jim Hall! The record's got maybe a bit more bite than some of Jim's airier sessions from the 70s – a strong power with Hall in the lead not just as a sound-shaper, but also as a more pronounced force in the trio – with some surprisingly edgey moments that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Antonio Carlos Jobim —
Tide ... LP A&M, 1970. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
An incredible record – from the first off-key note to the last! The album's filled with some wonderfully moody LA studio sounds, arranged by Deodato, and a has a great swirling mix of sound that weaves around Jobim's lofty guitar and piano beautifully – complex, but still with the airy ...

Stonebone ... LP CTI/A&M, 1970. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

Pete Jolly —
Herb Alpert Presents Pete Jolly ... LP A&M, 1968. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the finest A&M records of the sixties, and one of the finest records that Pete Jolly ever cut – a fantastic little session that blends his sprightly piano with fuller backings by Marty Paich – jazzy, but also sweepingly wonderful – and presented here with a great ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Quincy Jones —
Body Heat ... LP A&M, 1974. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Also available Body Heat (SHMCD pressing) ... CD 14.99
Quincy Jones —
Dude ... LP A&M, 1981. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A super-huge album from Quincy Jones – a record that's almost like Quincy's trying to show the whole younger generation that an older master like himself can still deliver the goods!

Quincy Jones —
Live At Budokan ... LP A&M (Japan), 1981. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Quincy Jones —
Mellow Madness ... LP A&M, 1973. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A really great, oft-overlooked album from the best period of Quincy Jones!

(Includes poster.)
Quincy Jones —
Roots – Original Soundtrack ... LP A&M, 1976. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Quincy Jones may be best remembered for his funky soundtrack work of the 70s – but the man can also hit a deeper, more serious vein when he wants – as he does on this ambitious album-length project inspired by the landmark Roots mini-series!

(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cutout notch & minor corner bumps.)
Quincy Jones —
Smackwater Jack ... LP A&M, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A great bit of 70s electric work from Quincy – and probably his funkiest album ever!

The Dude at the height of his powers – serving up a smooth blend of soul and jazz that set the standard for an entire generation!

Sweet funky Q for the 70s – easily one of the coolest albums ever from Quincy Jones!

Horizon/A&M, 1978. Near Mint- ... $6.99 9.99
A standout set from keyboardist Neil Larsen – a record that crossed over big back in the 70s, and which still sounds pretty darn great in the 21st Century!

Chuck Mangione —
Fun & Games ... LP A&M, 1979. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Man ... LP A&M, 1978. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A late 70s electric effort from McCann, not quite as sublime as some his records from a few years before this, but with some funky bits, and some vocals from Les.

Wes Montgomery —
Day In The Life ... LP CTI/A&M, 1967. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

A&M/CTI, 1968. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $16.99
Beautifully lofty work from the great Wes Montgomery – a set that was recorded quite late in his too-short career, and really points the way towards some of the sophisticated sounds that might have followed, had Wes not left this planet all too soon! Don Sebesky is at the head of the charts ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
