Columbia, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $16.99
Very nice work from one of Ellington's revival periods – when he was signed to Columbia in the late 50s, and recording some of the best work of his career. This set moves past the modernism of some of Duke's other sessions at the time, and offers a more straight-ahead set in true "jazz ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese pressing, with obi!)
Black Lion (Germany), 1962. Sealed ... $14.99
A sharp early 60s session from the Duke Ellington group – one that seems to draw strongly on the best late 50s work for Columbia Records, but which also seems to add in an extra crackle too! The tunes are relatively short, but the group pack plenty of punch in the small space – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Aamco, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $1.99
This one's always been a bit of an enigma – as the record's presented here with the auspicious "royal" title, yet contains no other liner notes to let you know where Duke's playing (if it's in fact a live set at all), when the recording happened, and who's in the band!

A seminal meeting of the old and new generations of jazz in the 60s – put together in perfect Impulse fashion!

Impulse, 1962. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $9.99
2 great 60s sessions from Duke Ellington – both with a key tenorist!

The approach ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Verve, Mid 50s. Very Good ... $24.99
Forget every bias you have against Herb Ellis – because this is a heck of a great little record – thanks in no small part to saxophonist Jimmy Giuffre! The style here is in a nice space between Giuffre's earlier work at Capitol and some of the gentler sounds of his later trio sides for ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Despa/Le Tres Jazz Club (France), 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99
A very cool record – and one with a sound that's as dreamy as the group's name – a laidback mix of vibes, saxes, piano, and percussion – all used in ways that are airy and open, and very different than most other underground jazz of the time! The group hail from New England, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Steamy ... LP Timmion (Finland), 2019. New Copy ... $19.99
An excellent group, and one with a really great concept – a fresh take on a format that was big in the 60s soul jazz scene, but spun out in a very unique way – both in terms of instrumentation, and in terms of the groove!

Somethin Cool (Japan), 1966. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A beautiful live performance from Bill Evans – captured here in a mid 60s stretch when he was really opening up, and hitting a new sort of flow – thanks in part to a budding relationship with the great bassist Eddie Gomez! Gomez is a key part of the album's strength here – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Verve, 1964. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Warmly wonderful live work from Bill Evans' mid 60s run for Verve – a record that was originally recorded in 1964, but sat in the can until the early 70s – then just quietly issued on the market with a bit less fanfare!

A classic set to feature the Bill Evans Trio with the great Scott Lafaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums!

Verve, 1969. Very Good- ... $7.99
One of Bill Evans' most beautiful albums from the time – and one that features the fantastic team of Jeremy Steig and Eddie Gomez, who were cutting some beautiful records for other labels at the time.

Prestige, Late 50s. Very Good ... $4.99
Fantastic early work from Gil Evans – emerging here in this early session as an already far-thinking modernist.

Jazzaggression (Estonia), 2019. New Copy ... $16.99
A very cool trio set from the mighty Greg Foat – working here with two other musicians grabbed on the fly for the recording session – but with results that are every bit as deep as any of his previous projects! Foat plays moody Fender Rhodes and Roland Juno – with this nicely ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited edition of 500 – with download!)
AFI/RML, 1973. Very Good+ ... $13.99
Obscure midwest group with Rufus Reid on bass and Art Hoyle on trumpets. There's a vague Sun Ra connection here, which mostly manifests itself in the record's cool spare spacey sound. The standout cut is "Frump Trump", which has a nice hard boogaloo sound, and a great breakbeat on the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Moserobie (Sweden), 2018. New Copy ... $14.99
This might be the first we're ever hearing from pianist Adam Forkelid – and given the sound of the album, we hope we'll be hearing a lot more for years to come! Forkelid has this wonderful approach to the piano – very bold, powerful chords – even in the mellower moments – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Concord, 1986. Near Mint- ... $6.99
The special guest here is Bobby Hutcherson, whose vibes really make the album sound great – in a quintet with George Cables on piano, Jeff Carney on bass, and Eddie Marshall on drums! LP, Vinyl record album
New Jazz, 1964. Very Good+ ... $29.99
Quite possibly the most compelling of Jimmy Forrest's early 60s albums for Prestige Records – thanks to some really full backdrops from the mighty Oliver Nelson! Although a few of the tracks on the album have the same small combo soul jazz mode as Forrest's other Prestige sides, a number of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono blue trident label Prestige pressing with Van Gelder stamp. Cove rhas some ring & edge wear and clear tape on the seams.)
Dobre, Early 70s. Very Good- ... $49.99
One of the greatest albums of Hammond jazz ever recorded – and a darn funky one at that! Bobby Forrester may not look like a hipster on the cover, but this set grooves like some of the best early 70s work by Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff, and Groove Holmes – hitting hard with some really ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has some wear and staining.)
Atlantic, 1977. Near Mint- ... $4.99
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, a promo sticker, and some wear.)
Finite, Mid 70s. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Weird bit of avant garde jazz from the mid 70's. Alex Foster plays sax and John Lewis plays drums, and the two of them lay down a number of short snappy cuts that never go too out, and which have a nice pulse to them. Titles include "Funk Pile", "The Creature Feature", and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Epic, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $34.99
An album of drum-heavy tracks recorded by drummer Panama Francis – who at this point could boast a long career working with jazz luminaries like Duke Ellington, Lucky Millinder, and Cab Calloway. The set's got Francis using his drums to cook up a rock-like beat on a set of instrumentals. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono pressing. Label has a promo sticker. Cover has a sticker spot on back.)
Columbia, 1986. Sealed ... $4.99
A bit late in Rodney's classic years for Columbia, but still pretty darn nice – although certainly much more of a soul album than before! A fair number of the tracks here have standout lyrics – sung by Brenda Russell, Philip Ingram, Frank Musker, and even Franklin himself – but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Shrinkwrap has a small hole in front.)
Westbound/Be With (UK), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99
The second great album from organist Ceasar Frazier – a tightly grooving set that expands his sound a bit from the first! All the best elements are still in place here – including funky organ from Ceasar, production from jazz funk maestro Bob Porter, and a hip range of players that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
