Impulse, 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $24.99
A record that's a lot more jazz than you'd guess from the title – a seminal set from the mighty Mel Brown!

A great early trio session from Ray Bryant – the kind of record that instantly shows why he caught such fire on the scene!

Guitar Artistry Of Charlie Byrd ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1960. Used ... $5.99

A wailer!
