Temporarily Out Of Stock
John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, really setting fire here in a classic live performance from the mid 60s – one of those very long, open-ended concert dates that was arguably even more impressive than some of Coltrane's studio album! The set was recorded in 1965, but not issued until a few ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Jazz Way Out ... LP Savoy, 1958. Near Mint- ...
Out Of Stock
Fantastic early work by John Coltrane – an album that shows that he was already reaching far, even in the 50s! The tracks on the set are quite long – quite speculative work that predates some of the searching experiments that Trane began in the 60s, with a nice undercurrent of ...

Dial Africa ... LP Savoy, 1958/1977. Very Good+ ...
Out Of Stock
A 70s collection of some of Coltrane's groundbreaking recordings for Savoy from the late 50s – recorded in the company of a super-hip sextet with Wilbur Harden on trumpet, and done in a way so that the tracks open up nice and long, in strong modal grooves that point the way towards Trane's ...

(Cover has light staining on the edges, faint ring wear, and a promo stamp.)
2 trumpets, 2 tenors, and a heck of a lot of open-ended blowing session magic! The format for this one's incredibly loose – as might be guessed by the "leaderless" nature of the record – but the session's a great example of the Prestige blowing session mode at its best – ...

(Yellow and black label NYC 50th street pressing with deep groove and RVG stamp! Back cover has light aging, but this is a great copy overall.)
A classic all-star set from Prestige Records – cut during that late 50s stretch when they took key players to Rudy Van Gelder's, and really let them open up in the studio! The set features three great talents on tenor – John Coltrane, Paul Quinichette, and Frank Wess – the last ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A fantastic pairing of these two contemporary French acts – coming together here in a style that's even greater than the sum of their parts!

Out Of Stock
A totally great take on the music of the Velvet Underground – nothing like the original group, nor all the many later acts who were inspired by their records – and instead delivered at a level that's very in the sonic range of Lee Ranaldo and Pascal Comelade! The latter plays keyboards ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A brilliant blast from The Comet Is Coming – their second album on Impulse in less than a year – and it's as exciting as anything they've done so far! Their core vibe of mixing spiritual jazz with electronic experimentation is here in full force, but they take it new directions. While ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Comet Is Coming are one of those groups who are almost a genre unto themselves – certainly part of the rich criss-crossing of styles that has been taking place on the London scene of the past decade or so – but also a trio who've found a way to forge forward and hold the world at bay ...
