Dave Brubeck with Gerry Mulligan —
Last Set At Newport ... LP Atlantic, 1972. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A rare meeting of 2 modern talents from the 50s – joined together in one unique performance from the Newport Jazz Festival in 1971! The baritone sax of Gerry Mulligan's a nice contrast to the usual Brubeck alto of Paul Desmond – long-departed from Dave's combo by this time, but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 70s Rockefeller label pressing with Warner rim logo. Cover has ringwear, some yellowing from age, and some stains and blemishes on front and back.)
Columbia, Early 60s. Very Good Gatefold ... $3.99
A great Brubeck side project – featuring music by Dave and lyrics by Iola Brubeck – kind of a reworking of the Gilbert & Sullivan musical, but with a hip 60s swinging jazz vibe – and a story about the importance of American jazz musicians as cultural ambassadors in the postwar ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo 360 Sound pressing. Cover has wear, and some staining along the edges.)
EG, 1979. Near Mint- ... $14.99

Wild About Basie! ... LP Capitol, 1962. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!

(Mono pressing. Cover has minimal surface wear.)
Jazz Odyssey (France), Early 1970s. Very Good ... $11.99
A fantastic pairing of talents – brought together here in a set focused on spare duets between drummer Jo Jones and organist Milt Buckner – both American jazz musicians from a slightly earlier age, given a chance to really stretch out in a great way during the early 70s – taken ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(The first track on side two has some crackling – the rest of the record is nice.)
Dennis Budimir —
Second Coming ... LP Revelation, 1963. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Fantastic work from guitarist Dennis Budimir – heard in a setting that's far from some of the studio material he was doing at the time – with bass from Gary Peacock and Bobby West, plus Bill Goodwin on drums. Includes a few very long tracks with great improvisation! LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has minimal wear.)
Atlantic, 1986. Very Good ... $1.99
An 80s classic from guitarist Hiram Bullock – a fusion set with a lot more smooth edges than the gritty surface of Hiram's well-played guitar on the cover! The set's quite polished, but still pretty great – never too overdone, and still based mostly around instrumentation by a core ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a promo stamp & cutout notch.)
Dan (Japan), 1949. Near Mint- ... $19.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Late 70s issue. Includes the insert. Cover has light wear.)
Decca, 1960. Very Good Gatefold ... $6.99 11.99
A beautiful tribute to New York from jazz arranger Ralph Burns – perhaps one of the best of that odd postwar genre – the LP-long salute to the Big Apple! This set's got an unusual approach – great instrumentation from Burns, on a par with his more famous jazz scoring of the 50s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Comes with the amazing photo book inside – loads of great images and text. Cover has a gloss bubble on one corner, but looks great overall.)
Cadet, 1967. Near Mint- ... $13.99 16.99
A really wonderful Chess/Cadet session from the 60s – not the bop-styled record you might expect from the 52nd Street reference in the title! Instead, the whole thing's more of a cool Chicago take on soul jazz – with these great large arrangements from Richard Evans, backing strong ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s orange label stereo pressing. Cover has a cutout notch and light wear.)
Cadet, 1966. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Straight, strong, and soulful sounds from guitarist Kenny Burrell – quite possibly one of his best albums of the 60s, thanks to a really well-focused sound throughout! The groove here is nice and tight – a cooking little rhythm section that features Richard Wyands on piano, Martin ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s pink & orange label pressing. Cover has a cut corner, in great shape otherwise!)
Verve, 1963. Very Good ... $16.99
A surprisingly great meeting between Kenny Burrell and Jimmy Smith – and a set that's one of Jimmy's standout small combo sessions for Verve! The feel here is much more Jimmy Smith at Blue Note than some of the bigger group Verve dates of the 60s – and Kenny Burrell's sensitive guitar ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono MGM pressing. Cover has some light wear.)
Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane —
Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane ... LP Prestige, 1958. Near Mint- ... $24.99
One of our favorite Kenny Burrell albums – and a record with a much deeper feel than lots of his other work! Kenny cut this album with John Coltrane in 1958 – and the session's a real standout in both of their careers at the time – Kenny's, for being a well-crafted, highly-focused ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(2016 OJC pressing on black vinyl.)
Prestige, 1958. Near Mint- ... $24.99
One of our favorite Kenny Burrell albums – and a record with a much deeper feel than lots of his other work!

(Green label pressing. Cover has a trace of a price sticker and light wear.)
Atlantic, 1971. Very Good+ ... $9.99 11.99
Hip work from both players – and Jarrett plays electric piano and soprano sax too – in a group that also features Sam Brown on guitar, Steve Swallow on bass, and Bill Goodwin on drums. Titles include "Como En Vietnam", "Fortune Smiles", "The Raven Speaks", ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Broadway label stereo pressing.)
ECM, 1974. Very Good+ ... $14.99
One of Gary Burton's more free-flowing albums of the 70s – a bit more fusion than some of his other work of the time, with key guitar contributions from Mick Goodrick and a young Pat Metheney! The album's still filled with plenty of Burton's great work on vibes, but the guitars also soar ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, small blemishes, and is bent at the bottom left corner.)
Jaki Byard —
On The Spot! ... LP Prestige, 1967. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
One of the great ones! No kidding, Jaki Byard was an amazing talent in the 60s – and records like this one are rare treasures to be sought-after by any serious jazz fan. Byard had an incredible range of talents and influences – and, like his frequent bandmate Roland Kirk, he could ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue trident label stereo pressing with Van Gelder stamp. Cover has light edge & ring wear.)
Savoy, Mid 40s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $7.99
Great small group work from Don Byas – some of his most important American sides of the 40s! Other players include Rudy Williams on alto, Emmett Berry and Benny Harris on trumpet, Jimmy Jones and Clyde Hart on piano, and Slam Stewart on bass. LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Columbia, 1961. Sealed ... $14.99 18.99
A gem of a session from the European expatriot scene of the postwar years – not really a tribute to Cannonball Adderley, but a rare meeting of Bud Powell and Don Byas in the studio, produced by Cannonball in Paris in 1961! The record has a tremendous amount of fire and focus – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Still sealed. Cover has a cut corner.)
