A&M, 1975. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $11.99
One of our favorite Paul Desmond records of all time – a set of understated brilliance that really lets him display his genius!

RCA (Japan), 1963. Used ... $11.99
That's "Take Ten", not "Take Five" – a great title cut that echoes Paul Desmond's previous work with Dave Brubeck – but which then gives way quickly to some sweet bossa-styled grooves done with guitar from Jim Hall! The album's one of the strongest of the ... read more CD

Fontana (Japan), 1965. Used ... $26.99
A rare bit of Dutch jazz from the 60s – a hip quintet led by pianist Cees Slinger, and featuring a cooking lineup that's every bit as great as groups coming out of the British or French scenes at the time. Slinger was the pianist in the legendary Wessel Icken trio – and through his ... read more CD

Visions (with bonus tracks) ... CD Steeplechase, 1979. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Walt Dickerson and Sun Ra are reunited – after only playing together on the seminal 60s album Impressions Of A Patch Of Blue!

Mack Avenue, 2023. New Copy ... $16.99 17.99
