Eddie Lockjaw Davis —
Jazz With A Beat ... LP King, Late 50s. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock
Stunning work from Lockjaw! The album features Eddie blowing hard and heavy – much more precisely than on some of his Prestige albums, in a mode that's inflected with more R&B tenor than you'd hear on his later sets. Backing is by his trio, and the album's got a gutsy groove that's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bill Doggett —
Doggett Beat For Dancing Feet ... LP King, Late 50s. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Bill's got his groove on right for this set – quite possibly one of the greatest of his early King years, thanks to killer work from Billy Butler on guitar, Shep Shepherd on drums, and the great Clifford Scott on alto and tenor sax!

This is it – the classic stormer by Bill Doggett that made his group a hit with all the kids! The album features the original two-part version of "Honky Tonk", plus the rarer "Honky Tonk Number Three", which as a wailing bit of vocals next to the chorus. Other tracks ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Felsted/King, 1958. Near Mint- ... $18.99
A near-forgotten gem from Coleman Hawkins excellent late 50s period – recorded for the short-lived Felsted label, and done in a beautifully relaxed way! The tracks here are long and easy-going – at times even more open than Hawkins' work for Verve, and in the style he'd explore even ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s Japanese pressing, with insert. Cover has very light wear, and a Swing Journal seal of approval sticler.)
Hank Marr —
Greasy Spoon ... LP King, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Wailing organ jazz from the great Hank Marr – and possibly his greatest album! The record's got a very strong jazz feel – without as much as the R&B of some of Marr's other albums on King – and the tracks are a well-composed batch of originals that capture all the excitement ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

An excellent bit of jazz from the Chicago scene – featuring the early roots of a set of players that would go onto influence the city's soul scene in a huge way. Johnnie Pate's probably best known as the arranger behind many great soul singles – including most of the Impressions 60s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sadao Watanabe —
Sadao Watanabe (1961) ... LP King (Japan), 1961. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the sharpest altos of the east – heard here in a great early album! Sadao Watanabe sounds wonderful on the set – blowing in a quintet setting, with a groove that's a bit like Lou Donaldson on Blue Note at the same time – slightly modern at moments, but also laidback and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jazz Message From Tokyo ... LP King (Japan), 1957. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A jazz message from late 50s Tokyo – loud, proud, and proof that the Japanese scene was really coming into its own!

Poll winners from the Japanese scene of the late 50s – stepping out in a special live performance from the time!
