Nefertiti (with bonus tracks) ... CD Columbia, 1967. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Dark genius from the always-amazing Miles Davis Quintet of the 60s – a set that's a bit more subtle than some of the group's other efforts, but no less powerful – and virtually a blueprint for countless changes to come in jazz during the next few decades! The interplay of Davis' ... read more CD

Miles Davis —
Star People (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Columbia/Sony (Japan), 1983. Used ... $7.99
Miles Davis in the early 80s – but still sounding pretty darn great, and somehow managing to take some of his best elements from the 70s and refine them into a slightly more focused groove! The tracks here are shorter than before – no side-long jams at all – but they definitely ... read more CD

Walter Davis Jr. —
Davis Cup (Japanese pressing) ... CD Blue Note (Japan), 1959. Used ... $17.99
The only Blue Note album ever cut by pianist Walter Davis Jr – but a heck of a hard-swinging set, and possibly his greatest album ever!

(Out of print.)
Walt Dickerson (& Sun Ra) —
Impressions Of A Patch Of Blue ... CD MGM/Verve, 1965. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Excellent album recorded by vibist Walt Dickerson during the mid 60's.

Lou Donaldson —
Quartet/Blue Note, 1952/1954. Used ... $7.99

Round About Midnight At The Cafe Bohemia Vol 2 ... CD Blue Note, 1956. Used ... $4.99
One of our favorite albums by Kenny Dorham – and a really different session than his usual studio work!

(Out of print first CD pressing.)
Kenny Dorham —
Trompeta Toccata (RVG remaster edition) ... CD Blue Note, 1964. Used ... $8.99
A wonderfully free-thinking set by Kenny Dorham – and a record that really breaks from his earlier work!

Kenny Dorham —
Whistle Stop (RVG remaster edition) ... CD Blue Note, 1961. Used ... Just Sold Out!

Mighty Burner – The Best Of His Highnote Recordings ... CD High Note, Late 90s. Used ... $7.99
Wonderful late work from Charles Earland – one of the few 70s players who never lost his fire!

Teddy Edwards —
Sunset Eyes (with bonus tracks) ... CD Pacific Jazz, 1959/1960. Used ... $11.99
Teddy Edwards at the height of his powers – packing a tight, soulful punch that made him one of the most popular players on the west coast in the early 60s – and a great link between earlier R&B tenorists and the leaner sound of 60s jazz! Edwards has a nice gutbuckety tone at times ... read more CD

Blue Light/Columbia/Collectables, Late 30s/1953. Used 2 CDs ... $4.99
Duke Ellington classics from 2 different decades! Blue Light is subtitled "jazz for that relaxed mood", but is actually a great compilation of early work by Ellington's group – recorded for Columbia during the years 1934 to 1939! Somehow, the tracks still end up sounding 30 years ... read more CD

Booker Ervin —
Song Book ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1964. Used ... $6.99
A wonderfully warm session from tenor legend Booker Ervin – maybe not as experimental as some of Booker's other dates for Prestige Records in the 60s – but a really wonderful record that fully explores the deep tones of his Texas tenor, and still lets him come off with a bit of an edge! ... read more CD

Bill Evans & Stan Getz —
But Beautiful ... CD Milestone, 1974. Used ... $4.99
A great pairing – one who barely recorded together, but always made magic when they did! The vibe here is different than the Evans/Getz date on Verve in the mid 60s – partly because of the live setting, but maybe also because the group is Bill's – with Eddie Gomez on bass and ... read more CD

Saying Somethin' ... CD New Jazz/OJC, 1960. Used ... $14.99
