Moshi ... LP Saravah (France), 1972. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
A wild and groundbreaking record recorded by the great French tenor player Barney Wilen! Although he got his start as a bebopper in the 50's, Wilen sort of dropped out of sight by the end of the 60's – and only emerged from time to time to cut strangely experimental sides. This record is ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Storyville, 1954. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A beautiful little concept for a beautiful little album – a "duologue" in which Lee Wiley sings one track, then Ellis Larkins plays the next, and so on – making for a split LP, but one with a lot of variety along the way!

A long-overdue reissue of the three Blue Note albums recorded by tenor sax giant Don Wilkerson!

Everest, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $11.99
One of the few albums ever cut by Ernie Wilkins as a leader – despite his presence as an arranger on countless jazz sessions of the 50s and 60s!
