MPS (Germany), 1967. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $89.99
One of the wildest albums ever recorded by French tenorist Barney Wilen – a mix of avant jazz and sound effects, set to wax in tribute to Lorenzo Bandini – a famous Italian racer who died tragically during the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix!

(Original German pressing – nice and clean!)
Jazztone/Sam Records (France), 1957. New Copy (reissue)... $33.99 39.99
Genius early work from a young Barney Wilen – an album issued in the US during a brief time when the French tenor star was turning a lot of heads on the American scene!

(Beautiful heavy vinyl pressing!)
Mercury/Sam Records (France), 1959. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 39.99
One of the greatest French jazz soundtracks ever – a haunting score composed and performed by sax legend Barney Wilen!

(Early 80s Japanese pressing, RJL-2547. Includes insert.)
Storyville, 1954. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A beautiful little concept for a beautiful little album – a "duologue" in which Lee Wiley sings one track, then Ellis Larkins plays the next, and so on – making for a split LP, but one with a lot of variety along the way! Wiley sings on about two thirds of the tracks on the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 80s Japanese Polydor pressing – UMV 2536. Cover has minimal wear.)
Blue Note, 1962. Near Mint- ... $43.99

Everest, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $11.99
One of the few albums ever cut by Ernie Wilkins as a leader – despite his presence as an arranger on countless jazz sessions of the 50s and 60s!

Soul Tay Shus/Tuff City, 1970s. Near Mint- ... $16.99
Rare 70s funk from Andre Williams – one of the maddest funky artists of all time! These tunes are quite different from Andre's raw R&B of the 50s, and his funky 45s of the 60s – more in a tight ensemble groove, with a P-Funky approach that has weird vocals colliding with heavy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Piney Woods Blues ... LP Delmark, 1958. Very Good+ ... $79.99

EMI/Svart (Finland), 1975. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $18.99 34.99

Moodsville, 1962. Very Good- ... $19.99
The mellow tone of Cootie Williams gets a great showcase here – a laidback quartet date that's easily one of the most relaxed, open sessions we've heard from the trumpeter!

(Green label Moodsville pressing with RVG stamp! Cover has light wear, and a center bottom seam split, but looks nice overall.)
Columbia, 1983. Near Mint- ... $7.99
There's plenty to be proud of here – as the album's a key part in the reinvention of Deniece Williams for the 80s – a great way of finding a new setting for her wonderful voice, one that helped her reach a huge new audience in the process!

Brunswick, 1968. Very Good+ ... $11.99 14.99
A really wonderful collaboration between two very unlikely partners – and a great album that really stands out as some of the best work from both artists in the 60s!

Inner City, 1978. Sealed ... $11.99 14.99
One of the hippest albums ever from singer Joe Lee Wilson – a righteous vocalist with a style we'd rank right up there with Leon Thomas or Andy Bey in the 70s!

Why Not/Trio (Japan), 1976. Near Mint- ... $28.99 33.99
Maybe the best Joe Lee Wilson album you can ever get!

Capitol, 1973. Near Mint- ... $4.99 6.99
An excellent lost album from Nancy – and one of her most original!
