JJ Johnson —
First Place ... LP Columbia, 1957. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
JJ Johnson's always a cooker, but during the late 50s he cut some incredible records for the Columbia label – tight bop sessions that still stand as some of his best work!

Goodies ... LP RCA, 1965. Very Good+ ... $9.99
One of the lesser-known JJ Johnson albums of the mid 60s – and nice little session that's done with a fresh sort of style!

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

JJ Johnson's greatest album – without a doubt! This gem of a session was recorded in 1960 in New York, with an incredibly hip sextet that includes Cedar Walton, Clifford Jordan, and Freddie Hubbard. The tracks are all long, hip, and very much in a Blue Note soul jazz mode – very ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Things Are Getting Better All The Time ... LP Pablo, 1983. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A lesser-known later album from JJ Johnson – but a surprisingly great one too, recorded with a sense of fire and inspiration that's no doubt driven by the mighty Al Grey!

Columbia, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ... $9.99 11.99
One of the flashiest Columbia sessions from the team of Kai Winding and JJ Johnson – but also one of the best!

Bethlehem, 1955. Very Good+ ... $19.99 29.99

Forces Of Victory (2LP pressing – with bonus tracks) ... LP Mango/Universal (France), 1979. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $35.99 41.99
A seminal set from Linton Kwesi Johnson – the record that maybe pushed him over the top, and really marked him as one of the strongest new voices in reggae at the end of the 70s! Linton's a poet, not a singer – but his style is also more focused and clear in comparison to some of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Black Jazz/Real Gone, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $12.99 23.99
One of the few albums ever cut by reedman Rudolph Johnson – a hell of a saxophonist, and one with a great ability to combine the spiritual with the searing – a bit like Joe Farrell at his CTI best, but not as freewheeling – nicely focused, and a little bit funky in all the right ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Spring Rain ... CD 18.99
Twinight/Numero, Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
One of the best-ever soul albums to come out of Chicago – and it may well be one of the best soul albums ever!

Hi Records, 1978. Very Good ... $4.99
A different sound than usual for Syl Johnson – but a record that still has loads of those amazing vocals we love from Syl!
