Impulse/MCA, 1961. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Killer stuff by Art Blakey – one of his few non-Blue Note sessions from the time, and a hard-wailing set that features the Jazz Messengers as a sextet! The format is one that flourished briefly in these early 60s years – and in this case, the already great lineup of Lee Morgan on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s remaster. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear.)

Crusaders —
Free As The Wind ... LP MCA, 1977. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The Crusaders are really going strong at this point – in near-hit status, almost acting as the Steely Dan of LA jazz. The sound is certainly slicker than before, but in a way that's actually pretty darn nice – as Joe Sample, Wilton Felder, Stix Hooper, and Larry Carlton come together ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Crusaders —
Royal Jam – Recorded Live At The Royal Festival Hall, London ... LP MCA, 1981. Very Good 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
The Crusaders meet BB King and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sidney Reginald Garris. LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some edge wear, light dents at the opening, and some small stains in back.)
MCA, 1979. Near Mint- ... $9.99
One of our favorite albums ever from The Crusaders – a set that really sums up all the tightness they'd forged in the 70s, while still showing a new sense of soul and funk as well – expertly balanced with flawless LA production! The album may well be the group's equivalent of a Steely ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Tan label pressing. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a promo stamp.)
MCA, 1974. Near Mint- ... $2.99
A live set from Deodato – but one that's very much in the mode of his best CTI studio sessions – with soaring, over the top keyboard work that's totally great – backed by some tightly compressed guitar, bass, and drums, with just enough funk in the mix to keep things interesting! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 80s blue label MCA pressing. Cover has some ringwear, edge wear, and is bent a bit at the corners.)
Deodato —
Very Together ... LP MCA, 1976. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Great keyboard funk from Deodato – one of his excellent mid 70s sessions for MCA, all of which are sometimes eclipsed by his CTI work, but still equally groovy! As with most of the other MCA records, the songs here are shorter than before – but in a way that allows for even more punch ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Deodato —
Whirlwinds ... LP MCA, 1974. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $6.99
Sweet keyboard soul from Deodato – a set that steps off nicely from the strengths of his big hits on CTI, hitting a similarly flowing groove that's really great! The instrumentation here is a bit more expanded than before, but never in a way that buries the keyboards – and Deodato's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original black label pressing. A nice copy.)
MCA, 1958. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $4.99

Nice Place To Be ... LP MCA, 1986. Sealed ... Out Of Stock
... LP, Vinyl record album
Nautilus/MCA, 1979. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $9.99
Great later blowing from John Klemmer – clear, clean, and extremely well-focused – with nary a dull moment throughout! The album's a mostly acoustic one – save for some keyboards from Milcho Leviev – and the sound is tremendous, very much in keeping with the farther-reaching ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Audiophile Nautilus pressing – direct to disc! Cover has light wear.)
Kei Miho & Jazz Eleven —
Kokezaru Suite/MCA/Lawson (Japan), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
An incredible blend of jazz and traditional Japanese instrumentation – done in a style that even has some nice funky touches from time to time! The work's a really ambitious one – taking simple musical patterns at its core, but then building them up and jamming over the top as the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Charles Mingus —
Great Moments With Charles Mingus ... LP MCA/Impulse, 1960s. Near Mint- 2LP ... Out Of Stock

Oliver Nelson —
Blues & The Abstract Truth (80s pressing) ... LP Impulse/MCA, 1961. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the all-time classics of early 60s mainstream jazz – and a beautiful record that showcases writing and arranging talents of Oliver Nelson! Nelson had been bumping around a variety of sessions before this one – as a leader, sideman, and arranger – but it was with this album ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear, bent corners, and a promo stamp and factory stickers in back.)
George Russell —
New York New York & Jazz In The Space Age ... LP Decca/MCA, Late 50s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A 70s issue of 2 seminal sides from George Russell, originally recorded in the 50s. The first, New York New York is a wonderful album from George Russell – and a refreshing change from his overly-academic modernist work! The session's an unusual one – a musical portrait of New York ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Joe Sample —
Voices In The Rain ... LP MCA, 1980. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Joe Sample's sitting at a grand piano on the cover, and that image is a nice tip-off to the sound within – an approach that has Joe hitting some more sophisticated acoustic passages at points, while still opening up into the soulful groove we'd expect from his legacy as a core member of The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Solution —
Cordon Bleu ... LP Rocket/MCA, 1975. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A pretty nice set of 70s fusion – rock-influenced at times, but still pretty spare, jazzy, and with some nice funky moments! The best tracks are the ones in which the band kicks back and opens up over a jam – stretching out with some spacious work on guitar, sax, and keyboards – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
MCA, 1985. Near Mint- ... $4.99
