Catalyst, 1993/1994. Used ... Out Of Stock
Albert Dailey —
Renaissance ... LP 
Catalyst/Trading Places (UK), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
An overlooked gem from this great pianist – one of his few dates as a leader, and maybe the boldest of them all – as the session really soars with a heck of a lot of spiritual energy! The vibe here is maybe more in the Muse Records side of the spectrum than Strata East, but that's OK ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Catalyst/Real Gone, 1977. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $25.99 26.99
A great one from bassist Henry Franklin – a player best known for his Black Jazz recordings of the mid 70s, but who here delivers a session that's every bit as tasty as those, and perhaps a bit more sophisticated! His group on the records includes some excellent west coast spiritual players ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ahmad Jamal —
Recorded Live At Oil Can Harry's ... LP Catalyst, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A hip west coast set from Ahmad Jamal – recorded up in British Columbia with a quintet lineup – all in a sound that's even more spacious and free-flowing than some of his Impulse albums from the same stretch! The group features the mighty Calvin Keys on guitar, plus John Heard on bass, ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Irene Kral —
Kral Space ... LP Catalyst, 1977. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Hip, breezy, and wonderful! Irene Kral's a good vocalist, but she's never been one of our favorites – until we heard this album! The record's a totally hip batch of jazzy tracks with a 70s approach to the kind of underground songwriter styles used in the 60s by artists like Jackie & Roy ...

Kral Space ... CD Catalyst/Collectables, 1977. Used ... Out Of Stock
Hip, breezy, and wonderful – a totally hip batch of jazzy tracks with a 70s approach to the kind of underground songwriter styles used in the 60s by artists like Jackie & Roy or Bob Dorough. No surprise that Kral sings some tracks by cronies of those singers – like Tommy Wolf, Fran ... (Vocalists) read more CD
Catalyst/Trading Places (Italy), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 29.99
One of the best albums ever from Japanese pianist Masabumi Kikuchi – a set that continues his development as a wonderfully expressive player on his instrument, but one that also opens up with a bit more bite at times, too – thanks to the presence of some sharp-edged contemporaries! The ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Catalyst, 1973. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A very unusual session for Carmen McRae – a live recording that features only her vocals and piano, on spare readings of a number of sophisticated songs that ably demonstrate the class and care she was bringing to her work at the time! The approach is quite different from some of the ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available (Cover has some ring and edge wear, light aging, and small seam splits.)

Don Menza —
First Flight – Complete Recordings ... CD Catalyst/Fresh Sound (Spain), 1976. New Copy 2CD ... Out Of Stock
Wicked work from saxophonist Don Menza – really stretching out here in a massively beautiful 70s session for Catalyst Records! Menza was a heck of a player, but one who mostly kept things pretty close to the chest – yet on this album, he blows with a soulful, flowing tone that's simply ... (Jazz) read more CD
Helen Merrill —
Autumn Love ... LP Catalyst, 1967. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of those great 60s sessions that Helen Merrill cut in Tokyo – with backing from Takeshi Inomata annd his West Liners group! Titles includes "September In The Rain", "Goodbye", "Round Midnight", "Autumn In New York", "Two Sleepy People", ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Helen Merrill with Teddy Wilson —
Helen Sings, Teddy Swings ... LP Victor/Catalyst, 1970. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Helen sings, Teddy swings, and the album's a great little session from Merrill's key years recording in Japan! There's a simple, unadorned quality to the record that's really great – a mode that Helen wasn't even using back in her earlier years in the US, and which almost helps her recapture ...

Catalyst/Trading Places, 1976. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $25.99 34.99
A warm set of groovers from Flip Nunez – a San Francisco-based pianist with a great Latin tinge, working here in a fantastic setting that makes for one of his greatest recordings! The album was recorded in SF in 1976, and it's got the laidback groove of some of the best sides coming from the ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sonny Stitt —
I Remember Bird ... LP Catalyst, 1977. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Stitt remembers Bird? How could he ever forget him – given the fact that as an alto saxophonist, Stitt always had to work hard to avoid any comparisons! Seriously, though, this is a nice set of boppish material that moves past the usual Charlie Parker tribute – and in fact, none of ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Catalyst/Trading Places, 1976. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $25.99 34.99
Funky keyboard work from Frank Strazzeri – a player who's really stretching out here in the 70s, with a massively cosmic vibe you'd never have guessed from his earlier work! Strazzeri had recorded and played heavily around the LA scene by the time of this mid 70s release – but most of ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
