Prestige/OJC, 1964. Used ... $9.99
One of the gems that Lucky Thompson cut on his return to the US in the mid 60s – and one of the few albums from that time that got wide release! The album's a laidback quartet session that has Lucky blowing both tenor and his new love, soprano sax, with a group that includes Hank Jones on ... (Jazz) read more CD

Riverside/OJC, Early 60s. Used ... $19.99
One of Bobby Timmons' most obscure trio sessions from the early years – recorded at the tail end of the Riverside years, which is probably why the album disappeared so quickly! The set's in a similar format to some of Bobby's other records for Riverside – a trio set with either Sam ... (Jazz) read more CD

Bobby Timmons —
Sweet & Soulful Sounds ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1962. Used ... Out Of Stock
A wonderful mellow trio session from Bobby Timmons – done with a spare, relaxed approach that's a nice contrast to the recordings he was making for Prestige around the same time – but which still has the same deep, soulful approach to the piano that makes those records so great! Half a ... (Jazz) read more CD

Bobby Timmons —
This Here Is Bobby Timmons ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock
Fantastic early work from pianist Bobby Timmons – a set that shows all the brilliant young genius that marked his playing at the time! Although only a trio session, the album grooves with the best sort of vibe that you'd find in Bobby's recordings with Art Blakey or Cannonball Adderley ... (Jazz) read more CD

Cal Tjader —
Jazz At The Blackhawk ... CD Fantasy/OJC, 1957. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A real standout session from Cal Tjader – a straight jazz side from the late 50s, recorded with a hip group that includes Vince Guaraldi on piano, Gene Wright on bass, and Al Torre on drums. Although Cal's possibly better-remembered for his Latin work of the time, the record is a good ... (Jazz) read more CD

Cal Tjader —
Latin Kick ... CD Fantasy/OJC, 1956. Used ... Out Of Stock
Excellent 50s Latin work from Cal Tjader – and a set that boasts some especially nice tenor from the legendary Brew Moore! Moore's sound here anchors the date nicely – bringing in a bit more of a bottom sound than usual for a Cal Tjader Latin date – really rooting the record with ... (Jazz) read more CD
Cal Tjader —
Tjader Plays Tjazz ... CD Fantasy/OJC, 1955. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The title gets it right on this one – as the set's one of Cal's greatest straight jazz albums of the early years – done in a harder, and more soulful mode than some of his Latin-based sets from the time! The album features 2 different groups, both of them great – a main quintet ... (Jazz) read more CD

McCoy Tyner —
Echoes Of A Friend ... CD Milestone/OJC, 1972. Used ... Out Of Stock
A haunting tribute to the late John Coltrane – not just a "friend" of McCoy Tyner, but a key musical partner back in the 60s! The album's a solo piano effort – extremely intimate, but still played with that long-flowing majesty we always love in McCoy – and two of the ... (Jazz) read more CD

Leroy Vinnegar —
Leroy Walks Again! ... CD Contemporary/OJC, 1963. Used ... Out Of Stock
A totally wonderful session from bassist Leroy Vinnegar – different than some of his other, straighter sides – in that the lineup here is full of wonderful up-and-coming players, plus some key cool forces on the LA scene! The album features vibes from a very young Roy Ayers – ... (Jazz) read more CD

Mal Waldron —
Mal 1 ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1956. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the best records Mal Waldron ever made, and a blinding hard bop session featuring a tight quintet with knock-down-dead front horn lines! The record really follows strongly in the mode of some of Waldron's contributions to Prestige blowing sessions from the same period – but it's also ... (Jazz) read more CD

Mal Waldron with Eric Dolphy & Booker Ervin —
Quest ... CD New Jazz/OJC, 1961. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Pivotal work from Waldron – stepping out of the blowing session mode, emerging as one of the 60s most striking moderinists. Like a lot of Waldron's records from the time, this set shows an amazing desire for new forms and modern ideas, and the mix of players – Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin ... (Jazz) read more CD

George Wallington Trios ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1952/1953. Used ... Out Of Stock
This is the kind of killer bop piano stuff that made Wallington a legend early on – collecting classic trios originally recorded for release as 10" LP in the early days of Prestige!

George Wallington —
Jazz For The Carriage Trade ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1956. Used ... Out Of Stock
Sublime work from pianist George Wallington – and one of his best albums ever!

Prestige/OJC, 1955. Used ... $6.99
A real standout in the catalog of pianist George Wallington – a very cooking live set, recorded at the Cafe Bohemia with an expanded quintet! The record supposedly showcases Wallington's style (or gimmick) – called "The Peck", and explained as a series of incomplete phrases ... (Jazz) read more CD

Wilbur Ware —
Chicago Sound ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1957. Used ... Out Of Stock
A stone cold smoker from the Chicago scene of the 50s – the kind of record we're proud to say came from our hometown! The album brings together the best of some of the under-recognized players in the Windy City at the time – including bassist Wilbur Ware, alto saxophonist John Jenkins, ... (Jazz) read more CD
Doug Watkins —
Soulnik ... CD New Jazz/OJC, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the few albums ever cut as a leader by the legendary bassist Doug Watkins! Although Watkins was one heck of a hardbop bassist in his day, he shows a new side on this enigmatic album from the early 60s – one that has him playing cello as the frontman for a group that includes Yusef ...

Riverside/OJC, 1956. Used ... $11.99
One of our favorite Randy Weston albums from the early years – a set that moves past his simple trio and solo format, to offer some key experimentation with horns – in this case the creative work of Cecil Payne on baritone sax! Payne plays on most of the record – save for two ... (Jazz) read more CD

Don Wilkerson —
Texas Twister ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the rarest albums by this great Texas tenor player – and the kind of album we're very happy to see reissued! This heavy little gem was one of the few sides that Wilkerson cut under his own name – and it was the only one recorded away from Blue Note, as part of Cannonball ... (Jazz) read more CD

Joe Williams Live ... CD Fantasy/OJC, 1973. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the nice records made by Joe during his funky comeback of the late 60s/early 70s.

Lem Winchester & Benny Golson —
Winchester Special ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1959. Used ... Out Of Stock
Maybe the greatest album ever from vibist Lem Winchester – an early soulful star on his instrument, but one who was taken from us all too soon! Lem's got this groove that really brings the instrument forward a lot – a harder touch that rivals that of Johnny Lytle, but a looser, freer ... (Jazz) read more CD

Awakening!! ... CD Contemporary/OJC, 1961. Used ... Out Of Stock
Fantastic work by this obscure LA legend!

Contemporary/OJC, 1963. Used ... $26.99
An amazing album by the great lost altoist Jimmy Woods! Woods is a key part of the LA postwar jazz scene – with an alto style that's a link between Ornette's modernist tone and the more inside playing of other LA boppers. In a way, he's sort of a soul jazz Anthony Ortega – with the ... (Jazz) read more CD

Early Quintets ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1954/1959. Used ... Out Of Stock
Really wonderful work from alto genius Phil Woods – already showing a sense of tone and timing that breaks him away from all the Charlie Parker devotees on the market!

Larry Young —
Groove Street ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1962. Used ... Out Of Stock
A very tight early session by the great organist Larry Young! The album's quite different than Young's later Blue Note work – more in-the-pocket soul jazz, but filled with the expansive sensibility that would later have him take off for the heavens. The biggest example of this tendency is ... (Jazz) read more CD
