Out Of Stock
A fishy little record from saxophonist Akira Miyazawa – but a great one too, and an indication that he was probably one of the greatest modernists on the Japanese scene of the time! The set's built around four long tracks – all played with a main focus on the tenor, handled here in a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Stardust ... LP Victor/Omnivore, 1979. New Copy (reissue)...
$21.9925.99
A great little record from Art Pepper – four long tracks that really have him stretching out on alto – but in a way that's maybe a bit different than some of his more burning albums on the Galaxy label at the time! The group here follows from some of the previous Artist House ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A fantastic guitarist from the Japanese scene, and a player with a tone that's unlike anyone else we can think of – the great Masayuki Takayanagi, heard here in an early session done years before his work on the Three Blind Mice label! Masayuki has a raw edge on the strings – a rasp ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Beautiful Japanese pressing – heavy gatefold cover, with obi! Note: Corner of cover has a small bump, and we have changed the price to reflect this small defect.)

There's definitely a free jazz approach taking ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Far-reaching and incredibly soulful work from Mal Waldron and Gary Peacock! Both players are at the height of their powers here, and have a warmth and sense of interplay that makes the session one of the best they did alone or together during the time.

$34.9939.99
Really evocative work from pianist Mal Waldron – a rare Japanese session cut with trumpeter Terumasa Hino, and a hip group of players who really make the set sparkle!
