Oscar Peterson and Harry Edison – two giants from the Verve Records scene of the 50s, reunited here in a wonderfully stripped-down setting!

Oscar Peterson & Jon Faddis ... CD Pablo/OJC, 1975. Used ... Out Of Stock
A very unusual pairing of players – pianist Oscar Peterson and trumpeter John Faddis, both working here without any other accompaniment!

Oscar Peterson & Roy Eldridge ... CD Pablo/OJC, 1975. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of those great stripped-down Peterson-plus dates for Pablo Records from the 70s – a session that features Oscar on both piano and organ, working alongside the trumpet of Roy Eldridge!

Billie Poole —
Confessin' The Blues ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1962. Used ... Out Of Stock
The title's an apt one, because Billie Poole sings here in a mode that's steeped in styles borrowed strongly from gospel and blues – but delivered more in a jazz-based mode overall! The backing here is one aspect that makes the record especially strong – a quartet with Kenny Burrell on ... (Vocalists) read more CD
Bud Powell —
Jazz At Massey Hall Vol 2 ... CD Debut/OJC, 1953. Used ... Out Of Stock
The second half of the legendary Jazz At Massey Hall performance from 1953 – a set that features the core rhythm trio, without Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie – a killer lineup that has Bud Powell on piano, Charles Mingus on bass, and Max Roach on drums!

Outskirts Of Town ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1958. Used ... Out Of Stock
Despite what you might guess from the title, the record's not a blues-based one – but a great little blowing session from an all-star array of players! It's our guess that Prestige chose to use the word "blues" in the title because "soul jazz" had yet to come into ... (Jazz) read more CD

Prestige/OJC, 1957. Used ... $8.99
Basie tribute by Basie alum playing tunes from the Count's book, this hard swinging side exemplifies the earlier swing orientation of the Prestige label, before they moved into other realms of soul jazz, bop and avant garde. Long tracks, with strong solos. (Jazz) CD

On The Sunny Side (with bonus track) ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1957. Used ... Out Of Stock
A perfect example of the great skill that Prestige had for taking a good ensemble player, and putting him into a context that really let him open up in a manner that brought his best points to light!

Prestige/OJC, 1958. Used ... $6.99
The title tells the tale on this one – as the session's a studio meeting of players all associated with Count Basie over the years – captured here in a style that's much more laidback and relaxed than the usual Basie set!

A simple title, but a great little record – one that offers up Jimmy Raney's guitar in all its best early tone – a sound on the instrument that few other players could match at the time!

Musics ... CD Galaxy/OJC, 1979. Used ... Out Of Stock
A beautifully soulful record from the great Dewey Redman – straighter than some of his 70s recordings, but in a really great way that shows that Dewey could still be quite compelling in another sort of way!

Asia Minor ... CD New Jazz/OJC, 1962. Used ... Out Of Stock
A rare treasure from British trumpeter Dizzy Reece – quite different than his albums at the time for Blue Note!

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!

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

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

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 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 ... Just Sold Out!
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

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

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!

One of the few albums ever cut as a leader by the legendary bassist Doug Watkins!

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

One of the rarest albums by this great Texas tenor player – and the kind of album we're very happy to see reissued!

One of the nice records made by Joe during his funky comeback of the late 60s/early 70s.

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
