Pacific Jazz, 1958. Used ... $5.99
Forget the Ellington in the title, because this is more a moody album of west coast chamber jazz, in the best tradition of the Chico Hamilton group!

Nemperor/Atlantic, 1975. Sealed ... $8.99
A surprisingly great early album from Jan Hammer – the keyboardist who went onto do some pretty drecky albums in later years, but who still has a surprising amount of sensitivity at this point!

Excellent Kudu work from one of the greatest organists of the 70s – a player who really stretched out and opened up his groove during the decade!
