Jan Akkerman —
Jan Akkerman ... LP Atlantic, 1978. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A very different album than usual from Jan Akkerman – but in a really nice way! The album's not nearly as guitar-heavy and rock-leaning as some of Jan's other sets from the 70s – and has a bubbling sort of soul-based finish, one that's arranged by Akkerman with some help from Mike ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jan Akkerman Live ... LP Atlantic, 1978. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A late 70s live set from space jazz/jazz rock guitar guru Jan Akkerman – rolling from spacious, sparely haunting atmospherics to tighter, sax and keys punctuated fusion jams! This live set was his Atlantic followed up his self titled album, and it grooves in similar territory – not as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic, 1976. Near Mint- ... $8.99
Jan Akkerman did plenty of unusual projects in the 70s, and this album may well be the best of them – an outing with vocalist Kaz Lux, whose unique phrasing really helps give the music a lot of focus! Akkerman's still hanging nicely between rock, funk, and jazz – but the use of vocals ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Early Atlantic Records work from the great Mose Allison – easily one of the most unique jazz artists of his time!

Mose Alive ... LP Atlantic, 1966. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of Mose's mid 60s albums for Atlantic – recorded live, with a bit more of a hip flair than some of his earlier work for Prestige and Columbia, but still with those great vocals that went onto influence a generation of beatnik jazz singers.

There's still a fair bit of Ray Charles ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono red & purple label pressing. Cover has light wear, bumped corners, a thin peeled strip at the top left, and some spotty aging, a round sticker, and some separation at the bottom in back.)
Atlantic, 1961. Very Good ... $5.99
The album's got a cheescake cover, but it's done in a very traditional mode – a style that's right up there with the best New Orelans jazz sessions on Atlantic! Wilbur DeParis works in a small combo with Sidney De Paris and Doc Cheatham on trumpets, and Garvin Bushnell on some mighty sharp ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo blue & green label pressing. Cover has some wear in the upper corner, but is great otherwise!)
Atlantic, 1956. Very Good ... $4.99
Wilbur DeParis may be working at Symphony Hall in Boston, but the sound here is pure New Orleans jazz all the way through – played in a tight small combo setting that features Wilbur on both slide and valve trombone, alongside Sidney DeParis on cornet, Omer Simeon on clarinet, Sonny White on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Atlantic, 1963. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Duke Ellington and jazz violin – a mode that's maybe not such a surprise, once you realize how important Ray Nance was to his group! Nance played trumpet, but also turned in plenty of violin solos for Ellington over the years – and here, he's joined by European greats Stephan Grappelli ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Duke Ellington —
Great Paris Concert ... LP Atlantic, 1963. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Did Ellington ever record in concert and it not be great? This wonderful double-length set from the 60s is key proof of his genius in an unfettered live setting – recorded in Paris in 1963 with plenty of dark edges! The tracks are short overall, but Duke's really at the head of the group on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Atlantic, 1973. Near Mint- ... $8.99
A great example of the way that Gil Evans really opened up his groove in the 70s – moving here way way past the cool jazz and third stream of earlier years – into a soulful style that's far groovier than might be expected! Part of the strength of the set is because of the players ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Red & green Broadway label pressing. Cover has aging, light surface wear, and a promo sticker.)
Atlantic, 1964. Very Good- ... $14.99
Beautiful work from the legendary Art Farmer – sounds from a time when the trumpeter was really coming into his own, and finding a way to carve out a special space for himself in modern jazz! The sounds here are fresh, but never overstated – blown with that compact mode that makes ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono Red & purple label pressing. Cover has light surface & edge wear.)
Clare Fischer Big Band —
Thesaurus ... LP Atlantic, 1968. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
An unusual session from the great Clare Fischer – although probably his best-known record as well! Clare cut many other jazz sides in a smaller, more intimate setting – but this album features his full talents as a larger arranger – working with a hip ensemble, and turning in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Green & red Broadway label stereo pressing.)
Sonny Fortune —
Infinity Is ... LP Atlantic, 1978. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A beautiful set from Sonny Fortune – a bit smoother than some of his earlier work, but still with a deeply soulful finish that keeps the album fresh throughout! Nearly every track was written (or co-written) by Larry Willis, who plays piano and Fender Rhodes on the set, and really feels like ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sonny Fortune —
Serengeti Minstrel ... LP Atlantic, 1977. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A great one from Sonny Fortune – done with the fusiony sound he was working so well with at the time, and still filled with a tight conception and an incredible group of musicians who bring depth and deliver some really great solos! The title track is an incredible 10 minute cut that breaks ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout hole, promo sticker, some ring and edge wear, and is lightly bent at the sides.)
Atlantic, 1979. Very Good+ ... $9.99
We love Sonny Fortune – because he always plays so great! Sonny started as more of an acoustic soul jazz player – but by the time of this session, he's working with a lot of electric backing, in a fusiony mode that should dampen his enthusiasm, but which only seems to spur him onto new ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available With Sound Reason ... CD 6.99(Cover has some ring and edge wear.)
Atlantic, 1968. Near Mint- ... $29.99
The second album by The Freedom Sounds – a very cool west coast soul jazz collective, headed by Wayne Henderson, and featuring a great mix of jazz, soul, and Latin rhythms! This set's a little more ambitious than the group's first album – with a number of tracks that groove in a very ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Von Freeman —
Doin' It Right Now ... LP Atlantic, 1972. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A classic "discovery" of tenor saxophonist Von Freeman – one that was already relatively late in his career, but a key appearance on Atlantic under the auspices of Roland Kirk! The setting here is as loose and laidback as Von needs to really do his thing – backing by a trio ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dizzy Gillespie & His Orchestra Vol 1 (10 inch LP) ... LP Atlantic, Early 50s. Good ... Out Of Stock
A really obscure album for Diz – making a rare appearance here on Atlantic Records! The LP features short tracks in a very playful boppish mode – typical of the populist Diz of the early 50s, of whom we have no complaints! Titles include "Just Blues", "Moon ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Jimmy Giuffre —
Jimmy Giuffre 3 ... LP Atlantic, 1957. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Groundbreaking trio work from the great Jimmy Giuffre – an album that cut loose both the piano and the drums – in a way that took Gerry Mulligan's earlier rhythm-less experiments with jazz, and pushed them one degree further! The group on the session features Giuffre on clarinet, tenor ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Jimmy Giuffre —
Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet (Jazzlore) ... LP Atlantic, 1956. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Beautiful work from Jimmy Giuffre – and a key album in the development of his spare sound of the late 50s! The record features Jimmy on clarinet – as you'd guess by the title – but this is no hokey set of Benny Goodman or Buddy DeFranco-type tunes. Instead, Giuffre's using the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Jimmy Giuffre —
Music Man ... LP Atlantic, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
The Music Man, made different – thanks to very fresh arrangements from Jimmy Giuffre – heard here in one of his few large group sessions for Atlantic Records!

(Original black label pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Jan Hammer —
First Seven Days ... LP Nemperor/Atlantic, 1975. Sealed ... Out Of Stock
A surprisingly great early album from Jan Hammer – the keyboardist who went onto do some pretty drecky albums in later years, but who still has a surprising amount of sensitivity at this point! The session's a bit of a concept outing – recorded by Hammer after work in Mahavishnu ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Slide Hampton —
Jazz With A Twist ... LP Atlantic, 1962. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A firey stormer from the great Slide Hampton! The album's one of his few early sides for Atlantic – and like the others, it's a groundbreaking batch of larger group material, with slide out front on trombone, and the rest of the ensemble vamping along like a tight Blue Note combo. Players ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Slide Hampton —
Sister Salvation ... LP Atlantic, 1960. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of Slide Hampton's first albums – and a massively hard-wailing set that will make any doubters sit up and take notice! The set really packs a punch – as Slide leads a hip group that features Freddie Hubbard, Richard Williams, Bernard McKinney, and George Coleman through some ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Slide Hampton Octet —
Somethin' Sanctified ... LP Atlantic, 1960. Fair ... Out Of Stock
Sanctified, indeed – and just the kind of record to show why Slide Hampton was unlike any of his trombone-playing contemporaries! The set's got a tightness and punch that's really unique – not the compact quality of JJ Johnson and Kai Winding, but also not the hardbop of Curtis Fuller ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Eddie Harris —
Bad Luck Is All I Have ... LP Atlantic, 1975. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A nice funky soul album by Eddie – who by this point was really electrifying his sax, playing a bit of piano, and even singing in a range of different styles. The best moments are those that kind of push the envelope technique-wise – operating with a lot of different effects on the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Eddie Harris —
Best Of Eddie Harris ... LP Atlantic, Mid/Late 60s. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A collection of 60s recordings for Atlantic, starting in 1965 with Cedar Walton on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, and later in 1967 with Jodie Christian on piano, Melvin Jackson on bass, Richard Smith on drums, and Ray Barretto on percussion, and a 1968 date with Heywood ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Come On Down! ... LP Atlantic, 1970. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A really great little set that has the Chicago tenor of Eddie Harris linking up with the growing Miami soul scene of the early 70s – as Eddie "comes on down" to the Sunshine State, and records for Atlantic at the legendary Criteria Studios! Eddie's still got the electric Varitone ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Eddie Harris —
Eddie Harris Sings The Blues ... LP Atlantic, 1972. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A pretty hip album – despite a stupid title – and one that proves the Harris was always willing to keep on growing as an artist. The record does include a few blues numbers, and Eddie does sing a bit – but he does so through his electric saxophone, which creates this cool flanged- ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Eddie Harris —
Free Speech ... LP Atlantic, 1970. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Often overlooked, but a nice little record from Eddie's early electric period on Atlantic! The group is a very soulful one made up of Jodie Christian on electric piano, Louis Spears on bass, Billy Hart on drums, and Felix Henry on percussion. The overall sound is more restrained than some of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Eddie Harris —
High Voltage ... LP Atlantic, 1969. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!
Mindblowing electric work from the great Eddie Harris – heard here on his famous late 60s combo that also features bass from the great Melvin Jackson!

(1841 Broadway label pressing. Cover has surface & edge wear, small split on the bottom seam, & some drip staining on the back.)
Eddie Harris —
I Need Some Money ... LP Atlantic, 1975. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A nice little funk album from Eddie – one that shouldn't work, but does nicely, thanks to a unique approach to the groove! Eddie's still playing plenty of electric sax on the set – and is going for a sound here that's equal parts soul jazz, modal groove, and down and dirty funk! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
