Billy Taylor —
Midnight Piano ... LP 
Capitol, 1964. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock
A really great album from Billy Taylor – way fresher than most of his other records of the time, especially his trio work! The main reason for this is Oliver Nelson – who crafts some incredibly soulful backings for Billy on the album's tracks, twisting through soul jazz big band ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Cover is great!)
Billy Taylor —
Right Here, Right Now! ... LP Capitol, 1963. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of the best Billy Taylor albums of the 60s – thanks to some great big band backing by Oliver Nelson! Nelson's touch was golden at this point, and he could make just about any instrumentalist swing like a hammer – which is what he does with Taylor on this album, taking his normally ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jack Teagarden —
Swing Low Sweet Spiritual ... LP Capitol, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Jack Teagarden sings and swings on trombone – that unique groove that was a key updating of his trad style in these later years!

George Van Eps —
George Van Eps' Seven String Guitar ... LP Capitol, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Very moody stuff – especially for the time it was recorded! The album came out in the late 60s, a time when most guitarists were plugging in, fuzzing out, and really getting crazy – but George Van Eps was still keeping his cool, playing gently swinging lines on his unique 7 string ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

George Van Eps —
My Guitar ... LP Capitol, 1966. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

Roulette/Capitol, 1960/1963. Used ... $14.99
Incredible work by Randy Weston – light years ahead of his trio material from just a few years before! The album is one of his most progressive from the early years, and features an extended suite dedicated to the newly-won freedoms of the African Nations – with occasional lyrics by ... read more CD
(1990 pressing.)

Nice stuff from Pat Williams!
