Count Basie —
Chairman of The Board ... LP 
Roulette, 1958. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Way before Sinatra first grabbed the "Chairman Of The Board" title for his own musical persona, Basie laid great claim to the tag with this tight little album for Roulette!

Roulette, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A great little set – despite our initial fears about the package – and a really wonderful pairing of the talents of Count Basie and Benny Carter!

(Mono color bar label pressing with deep groove. Cover has large splits on all seams and light surface wear.)
Reprise, 1964. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Count Basie goes pop, and the results are mighty nice – a hard-swinging take on familiar tunes from the 60s, but all re-tooled the jazzy Basie way!

Reprise, 1963. Near Mint- ... $9.99 14.99
We totally dig Basie's work from the mid 60s!

United Artists, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $6.99

Count Basie brings a soulful swing to the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Music (Italy), 1959. Very Good+ ... $28.99
A sharp-edged session of tremendous trumpet and tenor interplay – served up by the legendary quintet of Gianni Basso and Oscar Valdambrini!

Clifford Brown & Max Roach ... LP EmArcy, 1954. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!

Elektra, 1956/1982. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Absolutely burning live recording of Brownie's group co led with Max Roach, and also featuring Sony Rollins.

Arista/GRP, 1981. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A key bit of jazz funk from trumpeter Tom Browne – still grooving strong here, with a sublime mix of modern soul, funky jazz, and some of the 80s groove touches that showed up on the best GRP titles from the time!

Arista, 1983. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A classic killer from trumpeter Tom Browne – a smoking set that still has all the jazz funk touches of his earlier records, yet which also picks up a bit of an electro vibe as well! The move here is a bit like that taken by some of Browne's labelmates on GRP at the time – particularly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Columbia, 1954. Very Good+ ... $14.99
The Dave Brubeck Quartet goes to college – a pretty good place for the combo, considering how many fans they had on campus in the 50s!
