Cannonball Adderley —
Cannonball Adderley Quintet & Orchestra – Experience In E/Capitol, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $8.99
A great lost chapter in the Cannonball/David Axelrod story! The record features Cannon's classic quintet performing some longer, more serious works with orchestral backing – and the sound is vaguely similar to some of Axelrod's "high concept" work for Capitol. The record features ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Green label pressing. Cover has light edge wear, tiny cutout hole.)
Cannonball Adderley —
Cannonball Adderley Quintet In Chicago ... LP Mercury, 1959. Near Mint- ... $29.99
A great session from 1959 – one that features John Coltrane playing tenor in a combo that's billed as being led by altoist Cannonball Adderley – but which is really more of a Miles Davis combo, without Miles! The set was recorded in Chicago when both were stopping through the city ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Cannonball Adderley Quintet In Chicago (180 gram pressing) ... LP 36.99(180 gram Acoustic Sounds Series.)
Airto —
Seeds On The Ground – The Natural Sounds Of Airto ... LP Buddah, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $44.99
Easily one of the greatest records that Brazilian percussionist Airto ever recorded – a stunning blend roots and jazzy currents, and a set that follows strongly off his work in the group Quarteto Novo! The set's got contributions from one of his key partners in that combo – reedman ... (Brazil, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Gene Ammons —
Boss Is Back! ... LP Prestige, 1969. Very Good ... $14.99
A great comeback for tenor legend Gene Ammons – not just in a musical sense, but also because Jug had spent most of the past few years in prison – as part of the usual trumped-up drug charges that were filed against musicians at the time! At the time of this album, Ammons had not ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Gene Ammons —
Housewarmin' ... LP Trip, Early 60s. Near Mint- 2LP ... $9.99
Like some of the other issues on Trip, this set brings together some great sides that sort of fell between the cracks in an artist's career.

Gene Ammons —
Red Top (aka Golden Saxophone Of Gene Ammons) ... LP Savoy, Late 40s/Early 50s. Sealed ... $9.99

(Mid 70s Arista pressing, still sealed with a cutout hole.)
Gene Ammons —
Sock ... LP Prestige, 1965. Very Good- ... $8.99
A striking title – and a strong set of grooves, even if the tracks were pulled from a variety of different sessions, and not recorded as a unified album.

Gene Ammons & Dexter Gordon —
Chase ... LP Prestige, 1971. Very Good ... $6.99
Gritty live work from twin tenor giants Gene Ammons and Dexter Gordon – recorded in an open-ended style that's a bit like some of Gordon's famous early work on the Central Avenue scene in LA, or Ammons' famous live "battles" with Sonny Stitt!

Duke Pearson produced it (even though it wasn't for Blue Note), and the group includes Junior Mance on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and either Mickey Roker or Ajaramu on drums. Tracks ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rubaiyat Of Dorothy Ashby ... LP Cadet, 1970. Near Mint- ... $39.99
Incredible work from the amazing Dorothy Ashby – a brilliant set of funky and spiritual tunes, set to full backings from Chicago soul arranger Richard Evans!

Chet Baker/CTI, 1982. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $29.99
A great later date from CTI – proof that the label still had its magic going on well into the 80s!

Count Basie —
Easin' It – Music From The Pen Of Frank Foster ... LP Roulette, Early 60s. Very Good ... $4.99
Frank Foster is one of our favorite talents in jazz – an excellent tenorist who spent some of his key years in the Count Basie orchestra, but a player who also had a very rich career on his own as well! This album features Frank's talents really coming to the forefront of the Basie group ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Count Basie —
Pop Goes The Basie ... LP Reprise, 1964. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Count Basie goes pop, and the results are mighty nice – a hard-swinging take on familiar tunes from the 60s, but all re-tooled the jazzy Basie way! The vibe here is right up there with the best Neal Hefti moments with the group – and although the arrangements are by Billy Byers, they've ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono white label promo.)
Count Basie —
This Time By Basie! ... LP Reprise, 1963. Very Good ... $5.99
We totally dig Basie's work from the mid 60s! He was working with Quincy Jones at the time – and Quince laid down some very soulful arrangements that used the best jazz elements of the Basie group to turn out some great pop instrumental tracks with a very groovy sound. This album's a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Give Me The Night ... LP Qwest/Warner, 1980. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Yipes! This one made everyone a bucket of money – especially Quincy Jones, whose new Qwest imprint the record was one of the first to grace.

Traditionalism Revisited ... LP World Pacific, 1957. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!

John Coltrane —
Coltrane Jazz ... LP Atlantic, 1960. Very Good+ ... $24.99

John Coltrane —
Kulu Se Mama ... LP Impulse, 1966. Very Good Gatefold ... $39.99
One of our favorite albums ever from John Coltrane – but a record that's sometimes eclipsed by the genius of A Love Supreme!

John Coltrane —
Last Trane ... LP Prestige, 1957/1958. Very Good ... $14.99
A nice set – despite being kind of a put-together batch of tunes!

Multidirection ... LP Blue Note, 1970. Near Mint- ... $58.99

Hank Crawford —
Double Cross ... LP Atlantic, 1968. Very Good ... $4.99

Bitches Brew ... LP Columbia, 1969. Very Good 2LP Gatefold ... $29.99
One of the few cases in jazz where an oft-played classic still resonates with power!

Miles Davis —
ESP ... LP Columbia, 1965. Near Mint- ... $79.99
An album of dark and subtle beauty – and still one of our favorite Miles Davis albums of all time!

Miles In The Sky ... LP Columbia, 1968. Very Good ... $39.99
Miles Davis makes the electric transition – in this groundbreaking set from the late 60s!

Miles Smiles ... LP Columbia, 1966. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Miles Smiles, but his grin is a wry one – given the angular energy of the set!

Miles Davis —
Odyssey ... LP Prestige, Mid 50s. Near Mint- ... $11.99
Mid 60s issue of earlier work that Miles cut in the 50s – some great tracks that show him breaking from the tighter shorter bop work of the earlier years, and heading into some stretched out sides that have a very open-ended approach.

Miles Davis —
Porgy & Bess ... LP Columbia, 1958. Sealed ... $24.99
Way more than just a simple version of work from Porgy & Bess – and instead, a key collaboration between Miles Davis and Gil Evans – done with a sound that really transforms the tunes!

(Recent mono 180 gram pressing, still sealed with hype stickers.)
Miles Davis —
Someday My Prince Will Come ... LP Columbia, 1961. Very Good+ ... $24.99
The tenor sax here makes the album a standout – as John Coltrane still works with Miles Davis on 2 tracks for the record, but Blue Note stalwart Hank Mobley joins in on the rest!

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!

LD + 3 ... LP Blue Note, 1959. Near Mint- ... $49.99
A classic meeting between alto giant Lou Donaldson and Blue Note's crack Three Sounds combo – the great piano trio led by the mighty Gene Harris!

One of Duke's most popular albums of the 50s – but we won't hold that against him!

Duke Ellington —
Piano In The Background ... LP Columbia, 1961. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Don't let the title put you off, because this certainly isn't a session of background music – and the name simply refers to the fact that the arrangements on the set really showcase the strong horn work of the Ellington orchestra!
