Afro-Harping ... CD 
Cadet/Verve, 1968. Used ... $36.99
One of the grooviest records ever – a sublime blend of African percussion, soulful orchestrations, and Dorothy Ashby's amazing electric harp!

Bobby Hackett —
Creole Cookin ... LP Verve, 1967. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Bobby in pretty familiar territory – playing mostly trad numbers, in a New Orleans jazz mode, but with some slight Verve 60s touches.

Luiz Henrique & Walter Wanderley —
Popcorn ... LP Verve, 1969. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An excellent collaboration between two of Verve's best Brazilian artists of the late 60s – the groovy organist Walter Wanderley, and the breezy breathy vocalist Luiz Henrique! The set is a perfect example of the way that Verve took bossa playing and gave it a groovy production twist – ... (Brazil, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Kenyon Hopkins —
Verve Sound Tour – France ... LP Verve, Mid 60s. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Part of a great series that was released in conjunction with Esquire Magazine. The album's a nice split gatefold package filled with a book chock full of photos of 60's France, with cool travel notes. The disc combines sound effects and music (we think by Kenyon Hopkins), to create the effect of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cool middle-split cover, with booklet! Cover has light wear and an ink stamp.)
Jackie & Roy —
Lovesick ... LP Verve, Mid 60s. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Wonderfully groovy work from the team of Jackie Cain & Roy Kral – a set that has the pair moving into much hipper modes for the 60s, and really taking off from the greatness of earlier records! Backing is still by Roy's core trio, with acoustic piano at the lead – but the addition ... (Vocalists, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available (MGM stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has minimal wear and a lightly bumped corner.)

Quincy Jones —
Big Band Bossa Nova ... CD Mercury/Verve, 1962. Used ... Out Of Stock
Perhaps THE greatest Quincy Jones album of the 60s – a hard-swinging batch of big band bossa tunes – and one of the greatest American takes on the bossa sound ever! Quincy really brings a lot of soul to the set – syncopating the bottom end of the tunes to really bring out the ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more CD
Verve, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... $3.99 5.99
A really goofy little record – one that has the great Spike Jones taking on the hi-fi generation – demonstrating the qualities of your system with a huge amount of sound effects mixed with music! LP, Vinyl record album

Verve, Mid 60s. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $4.99
A pretty cool record from legendary drummer Gene Krupa – filled with loads of unusual percussion, all played live for the recording – set to arrangements by George Williams that are mighty dynamic! Tunes are sometimes from classical sources, but swung in a completely different way! (Jazz, Now Sound) LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo MGM pressing. A great copy!)
Gary McFarland —
In Sound ... LP Verve, 1965. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
One of the grooviest albums of the 60s – a sublime blend of jazz, bossa, and easy – and a set that definitely lives up to its title! The album's probably the most perfect realization of the unique groove that Gary McFarland was going for back in the day – a mix of vibes, ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Verve, 1968. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $14.99
Great stuff from Gary – one of his more obscure albums, and a record dedicated to the signs of the Zodiac! The tracks are a mixture of Gary's usual easy jazz approach – with vibes, whistling, and bossa-style rhythms showing up a lot – plus a few more driving numbers that are more ...

(MGM stereo pressing. Cover has some ring and edge wear.)
Verve, 1964. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $9.99
A dream of a record from Gary McFarland – lightly jazzy instrumentals with a warm bossa nova undercurrent!

Lalo Schifrin —
Dissection & Reconstruction Of Music – Marquis De Sade ... LP Verve, 1966. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
The Marquis De Sade never sounded so sweet! For some strange reason, Schifrin decided to pay a musical hommage to De Sade with this one – but fortunately, he's not punishing himself with the subject matter at all, and is sticking to his jazzy bossa guns. The arrangements have a tight Verve ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Verve, 1964. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $9.99
The great Lalo Schifrin plays piano and leads a crack group of studio players through some larger orchestral material with a nice jazzy feel! The overall approach is similar to Lalo's classic 60s soundtrack work – with nice solos arching out over sweeping strings and orchestral passages, and ...

MGM/Verve, 1963. Used ... $9.99
A wonderful album from Lalo Schfrin! This one mixes together bossa piano and sweeping string arrangements – in a style that's incredibly dark-edged and driving, with a sound that's at once spooky and lovely – a dancing groove that makes the best tracks really sparkle! The album's ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more CD

Pat Williams —
Heavy Vibrations ... LP Verve, 1969. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Beautiful Verve madness, and a darkly twisted batch of easy instrumentals, put together by the silent genius Pat Williams. The songs are mostly covers – like "Whiter Shade of Pale", "Get Back", "Joy Joy", and "River Deep Mountain High" – and the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue label stereo pressing. Cover has some edge wear, yellowing from age, mostly in back, center split in the spine, and is bent a bit at the bottom right corner.)
Verve, 1964. New Copy (reissue)... $27.99 29.99
One of the grooviest albums recorded by trombonist Kai Winding in the 60s – a set that follows the larger ensemble mode he moved to after parting ways with trombonist JJ Johnson, yet one that also has some surprisingly groovy elements in the mix! The album was recorded in Nashville, and ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(180 gram pressing – pressed at Third Man!)
Kai Winding —
Soul Surfin' ... LP Verve, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A very groovy little record from the famous Kai Winding – hardly the trombone jazz outing you might have guessed from Kai's famous work with JJ Johnson – and instead, an electrified set that's got plenty of cool 60s touches! Winding does play trombone, but the group also features lots ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
