Dexter Gordon —
One Flight Up ... LP Blue Note, 1964. Near Mint- ... $39.99
An unusual set for both Dexter and Blue Note – first, because the set was recorded in Europe (not at Rudy Van Gelder's), and second because the tracks are all quite long!

Nothing mystifying here – as the album grabs us right from the get-go – with wonderful Fender Rhodes lines from leader Tom Grant, and plenty of soulful tenor from the great Joe Henderson!

Grab This ... LP Riverside, 1962. Very Good ... $34.99
A really obscure little session from tenorist Johnny Griffin – and one of his few dates from the time cut with an organist – in this case the up-and-coming LA player Paul Bryant!

One of our favorite Isaac Hayes albums from the post-Stax years – a wonderful late 70s set that has the man returning strongly to the mellow roots of his early solo years!

Etta James (1973) ... LP Chess, 1973. Very Good+ ... $29.99
Heavy funk from the great Etta James – one of her standout classics from the later Chess years, done with a style that's completely different than her work of the 60s!

Hymns/ECM, 1976. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $6.99

J Is For Jazz ... LP Columbia, Late 50s. Very Good ... $8.99
