Count Basie & The Kansas City Three – For The Second Time ... LP Pablo, 1975. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A Count Basie trio set – the second meeting of the Kansas City Three, a combo that features Ray Brown on bass an Louis Bellson on drums! Basie's really great here – out front, and moving with modes that are quite different than his fuller group sessions – surprisingly sensitive ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Louie Bellson & Walfredo De Los Reyes —
Ecue – Ritmos Cubanos (OJC pressing) ... LP Pablo/OJC, 1978. Sealed ... $14.99
A strangely wonderful Latin set with a very drum-heavy approach! Cuban percussionist Walfredo plays in a large group with Louie Belson on the regular kit and "moog drum" – and the rest of the group features strong Latin players like Francisco Aguabella, Clare Fischer, Emil Richards ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 90s OJC pressing, still sealed with review sticker.)
George Benson/Prestige/OJC, 1964. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The first album ever cut by George Benson as a leader – a cooker of a soul jazz set, recorded back when George was the guitarist in Jack McDuff's classic 60s quartet! The album's almost a McDuff Quartet one – since Jack's on Hammond and Red Holloway is on tenor – but the group's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Clifford Brown —
Clifford Brown Memorial Album (Prestige) ... LP Prestige/OJC, 1953. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Early 50s material recorded by the late Clifford Brown – issued here in a classic "memorial" package slightly after his death in 1956! And while Brown never recorded much for Prestige – and never really as a leader – these sides are still a great example of his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Clifford Brown Memorial (Prestige) ... CD 3.99

Japanese reedman Sadao Watanabe joins this hip trio on alto – with Hank Jones on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums! LP, Vinyl record album
Prestige/OJC, 1957. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
Classic early John Coltrane for Prestige – less a bold statement as a leader than a strong batch of blowing session-styled tracks that show how well Coltrane could hold his own with more established players! The groups on the set vary from track to track – and feature players that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
John Coltrane —
Lush Life ... LP Prestige/OJC, 1957/1958. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A beautiful little album from the young John Coltrane, and one that hides its strong sense of depth behind a familiar jazz standard used as a title! In some way, the record is almost experimental for the time – as side one features the tenor of Coltrane alongside just the bass of Earl May ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Prestige/OJC, 1958. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
A bold early statement from a young John Coltrane – and an album that really has him expanding his talents as a tenor soloist! Coltrane's working here in open-ended quartet format – with backing from the Red Garland trio that includes Paul Chambers and Art Taylor – on a set of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Bob Cooper —
Coop – The Music of Bob Cooper ... LP Contemporary, 1957. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A tremendous early album from this west coast tenorist – really breaking out here in a smaller group setting than usual! Coop plays tenor, in a group with Victor Feldman on vibes, Loy Levy on piano, Frank Rosolino on tormbone, and Mel Lewis on drums! LP, Vinyl record album
(Original mono pressing, with deep groove – a very nice copy!)
Prestige/OJC, 1957. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
A seminal set from the young Miles Davis – working here on one of his legendary pairings with tenorist John Coltrane, who's equally important to the sound of the session as Miles! Tracks are long, and mix up some modern modes with remade ballads – both sublime expressions of the new ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
New Jazz/OJC, 1960. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
Eric Dolphy's first album ever as a leader – recorded almost immediately after his arrival on the New York scene! The sound here is already bolder and stronger than the Dolphy experiments on the west coast – sharp-edged and freely exploratory, in a way that pushes the playful lyricism ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Outward Bound ... CD 2.99
Riverside/OJC, 1958. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
Everybody Digs Bill Evans – or at least it certainly seems that way from the cover endorsements by Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley, and Ahmad Jamal – but the real proof is in the record, and the set is a great one from Bill's classic years on Riverside! Evans is at the peak of his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Riverside/OJC, 1958. New Copy (reissue)... On April 20, 2024
Everybody Digs Bill Evans – or at least it certainly seems that way from the cover endorsements by Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley, and Ahmad Jamal – but the real proof is in the record, and the set is a great one from Bill's classic years on Riverside! Evans is at the peak of his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Bill Evans —
How My Heart Sings ... LP Riverside/OJC, 1962. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Magical music from the very first note – the kind of record you need to hear if you've ever doubted the genius of Bill Evans!

Also available How My Heart Sings ... CD 7.99
Bill Evans —
Portrait In Jazz ... LP Riverside/OJC, 1959. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A classic set to feature the Bill Evans Trio with the great Scott Lafaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums! Listening to the set we're reminded of what always brings us back to Evans' playing – a quality that's often described as moody, but which is really is quite spry and lively throughout ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tommy Flanagan —
Tommy Flanagan 3 – Montreux 77 ... LP Pablo/OJC, 1977. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A sweet Tommy Flanagan trio date – recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1977, but with a warmth and intimacy that's like catchy Tommy at a small club date! Trio members include Keter Betts on bass and Bobby Durham on drums – but the focus is very strongly on Flanagan's piano ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Charlie Mariano —
Boston All Stars ... LP OJC, Early 50s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Vital early Prestige work from alto sax great Charlie Mariano – who's fronting a quintet of Boston All Stars!

Debut/OJC, Mid 50s. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
Seminal early work from Charles Mingus – a session that really shows him beginning to work in tightly arranged, deeply resonant styles – pushing much more deeply towards the brilliance of the late 50s! The set's recorded with a great lineup that includes Mal Waldron, Max Roach, and the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Thelonious Monk —
Alone In San Francisco ... LP Riverside/OJC, 1959. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A classic solo piano album from Thelonious Monk – recorded live in San Francisco, and maybe one of his best albums ever in the format!

Also available Alone In San Francisco ... CD 6.99
Thelonious Monk —
Brilliant Corners ... LP Riverside/OJC, 1956. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A brilliant title for this brilliant album from Thelonious Monk – a set that really has him coming back strongly in the second half of the 50s – with a new talent for arrangements that really goes past his previous work! Monk's piano and compositions are every bit as great as before ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Brilliant Corners ... CD 3.99
Oscar Pettiford —
New Oscar Pettiford Sextet ... LP Debut/OJC, Early 50s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Although bassist Oscar Pettiford left a huge influence on jazz before his untimely death, there's not actually that many fantastic records in which he's featured as a leader. Fortunately, this is one of the few, and it's a sparkling set of modernist inflected bop tunes played by a group that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Max Roach —
Deeds Not Words ... LP Riverside/OJC, 1958. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A seminal set from Max Roach – the start of his more righteous stretch in jazz, as you might guess from the title of the album! At some level, the record's got a bit of the feel of the post-Clifford Brown Mercury years from Roach – but at another, it's stretching out towards the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Prestige/OJC, 1956. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
A groundbreaking album from Sonny Rollins, largely for the extended track "Tenor Madness", which runs on for 13 minutes, and features him and Coltrane blowing head to head – redefining the sound of the tenor sax in jazz through the course of that amazing track! Backing is by the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Contemporary/OJC, 1957. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 24.99
A classic set that brings the east coast tenor of Sonny Rollins into contact with a west coast rhythm section of Ray Brown and Shelly Manne! Despite Rollins' silly look on the cover, and the album's overall "western" theme, the session's a brilliant one – right up there with Sonny's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
