My Friend Louis ... CD DIW (Japan), 1992. Used ... $16.99
One of the true soul jazz classics of the 90s! Although Andrew Cyrille is better known for some of his more "out" material, we totally dig this 1992 album – because it's got a sweeping spiritual feel, and a very soulful groove that recalls 70s work by players like Billy Harper or ... read more CD
(Out of print 1992 Japanese pressing with obi.)
Art Farmer/MCA (Japan), 1960. Used ... $13.99
Landmark work by one of the greatest jazz outfits of the early 60s! Art Farmer and Benny Golson were both known as well-composed players during the 50s – strongly soulful, but often with a fine sense of arrangement that usually tended towards the lyrical side of things. With this group, ... read more CD

Pepper Jam – Most Valuable Unissued Live Recording Of Art Pepper In 1975 ... CD Jazzbank (Japan), 1975. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A really unusual 70s recording from Art Pepper – quite different than most of his better-known work from the time!

Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echoes —
Cosmic Funk ... CD Flying Dutchman/BMG (Japan), 1974. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A real gem from Lonnie Liston Smith's early years in the studio – and a record that's perhaps a bit more "cosmic" than it is "funk" – but that's why we like it so much! The session has Lonnie stretching out a bit more than usual – borrowing some of the ... read more CD

Joe Farrell —
Joe Farrell Quartet ... CD CTI/CBS, 1970. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of Joe Farrell's first LPs as a leader – and a stellar session that's easily one of the early high points for the legendary CTI label! Farrell had been making some great noise in the underground during the late 60s – but here, he bursts forth as one heck of a soulful cat – ... read more CD

Duke Ellington —
Ellington Uptown ... CD Columbia/Legacy, 1952. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of Duke Ellington's standout sides for Columbia – a strong recording that revisits many of the best elements of his earlier work, and offers up some more sophisticated scoring for the 50s – thanks to extended track length in the LP generation! The tunes here are older ones, but ... read more CD

Alone With The Blues ... CD New Jazz/Prestige/OJC, 1958. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A very striking album – one of Ray Bryant's most noteworthy of the time! The album features Ray playing solo piano – quite unusual for the period, as most piano jazz records, especially his, were at least cut in a trio format – with additional bass and drums. Yet the approach ... read more CD

Thing with Neneh Cherry —
Cherry Thing ... CD Smalltown Supersound (Sweden), 2012. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A mindblowing collaboration – one that brings the soulful vocals of Nenah Cherry into play with the avant jazz sounds of The Thing – but all in a mode that's unlike anything either artist has recorded before! The mix of talents is no surprise – given that Nenah's dad is Don ... read more CD
Jaki Byard —
Freedom Together ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1966. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A beautiful bit of insanity that properly displays why we think Jaki Byard is one of the greatest overlooked talents of the 60's!
