Storyville (Denmark), 2017. New Copy ... $13.99 15.99
Not the jazz drummer Kenny Washington, but a singer with the same name – really stretching out nicely here in a live set recorded in Copenhagen! Kenny's got a warm glow to his style, which gets a nice edge on the long performances here – recorded with an overseas trio that features ... read more CD

Cleveland Watkiss —
Green Chimneys ... CD Verve, 1989. Used ... $3.99
This is (we feel) one of the greatest male jazz vocal albums of the past thirty years. On this, his first album, Cleveland Watkiss sings hard and true jazz, to lyrics that he's written to songs by Monk, Wayne Shorter, and others. We've been listening to this for years, and it's really ... read more CD

Mainstream/Solid (Japan), 1971. New Copy ... $13.99
Fully righteous work from singer Maxine Weldon – working here with bigger backings from Ernie Wilkins that mix in a bit of blues, soul, and funk! The style's never too polished, and almost has a similar feel to some of Esther Phillips' work on the Kudu label during the early 70s – ... (Soul, Vocalists) read more CD

Verve, 1960. Used Gatefold ... $4.99
A surprising treasure from Margaret Whiting! We'll be the first to admit that we're not the biggest fans of Margaret Whiting's voice – but she actually sounds pretty great here, thanks to some snappy arrangements by Russ Garcia! Garcia brings a nice sort of jazz sensibility to the album ... read more CD

RCA (Japan), 1956. Used ... $17.99
A great set of torchy ballads from Lee Wiley – a singer who virtually helped invent the genre on record with her classic sets for Columbia Records! This album's done a few years after those – and features backings by Ralph Burns, who brings a fair bit more sentimental moments to his ... read more CD

Cadence/Ace (UK), 1957. New Copy ... $10.99 18.98
Few folks have a voice as great as Andy Williams – and it sounds especially nice on these early sides done for the Cadence label! First up is the Andy Williams self-titled LP – a record that mixes Williams warm vocals with some slightly rocking arrangements – bits of Caribbean ... read more CD
Coral, Mid/Late 50s. Used ... $2.99
Fantastic work from the great Billy Williams – a reall unique figure in a special space in between standard vocals and R&B! The CD features 29 tracks in all – including lots of lesser-known gems from his Coral Records years. CD
(Out of print. CDr pressing.)

Definitive Joe Williams ... CD Verve/Blue Note, 1950s/Early 60s. Used ... $5.99
... CD
(Out of print.)
Verve, Late 50s. Used ... $7.99
An excellent album of vocals by the great Joe Williams! Joe's always been a fine singer, but with Basie, he really gets the backing he needs to do his work the best. And although this album isn't as authenico as it might be, it still comes from a time when Verve really knew how to handle singers ... read more CD
