Cadence, 1978. Near Mint- ... $24.99
The first album ever on the Cadence Records label – and a doozy of a date that set the tone for greatness to come!

ECM (Germany), 1989. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A nicely varied live set from this trio of key ECM players of the 80s – captured here with the same sense of sound as some of their studio recordings – which must have been something amazing to hear in person! Abercrombie's still very chromatic at this point in his career – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Columbia, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Like the music in most of John Cassavetes films, this LP's a weird mish mash of styles, sounds, and snippets – but it's also got a very emotional edge to it, like all of Cassavetes' films. Jack Ackerman did most of the music, and Teo Macero arranged and conducted all of it. Weird stuff, but ... (Soundtracks, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Jewel, 1979. Very Good+ ... $39.99

Capitol, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A great lost chapter in the Cannonball/David Axelrod story!

The record features ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Capitol, 1970. Very Good 2LP Gatefold ... $8.99
Fantastic work from the massive electric years of the Cannonball Adderley Quintet – one of the group's last records to feature the keyboards of Joe Zawinul – and also one of the heaviest from the time!

Flying Dutchman, 1972. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $19.99
Reedman Harold Alexander cut very few albums as a leader – and this is one of the best!

Avant jazz meets The Blues, as Rashied Ali and combo back up singer Royal Blue on this set of tracks released on Ali's own label.
