Blues A-Plenty ... CD Verve (Japan), 1958. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Blues-a-plenty, but still pretty darn jazzy too – as the "blues" in the title is just Verve's code for the way the album's put together – loose, unstructured, and a great format for Johnny Hodges to do some wonderful blowing on alto sax! The album also features strong work ... read more CD

Miles Davis —
Sketches Of Spain (2CD Legacy edition – with bonus tracks) ... CD Columbia, 1960. Used 2 CDs ... $14.99
A beautiful collaboration between Miles Davis and the great Gil Evans – and perhaps the most perfectly realized of all their projects! The album's got a wonderfully unified feel – as it begins with long compositions that have a distinct Spanish-tinge (and not a Latin-tinge, which is an ... read more CD

Ahmad Jamal —
Awakening ... CD Impulse, 1970. Used ... $9.99
A mindblowing album from Ahmad Jamal – a fantastic start to the 70s, and a set of music that shows just how far the pianist had come in just a few short years! The album's all acoustic, but has some of that spacious flow that Jamal would bring to his work on Fender Rhodes – with an ... read more CD

John Coltrane —
Crescent (20 bit remaster) ... CD Impulse, 1964. Used ... $4.99
Sharp-edged John Coltrane at his best – a record that we'd rank right up there with Love Supreme, and which is a key transition point in Coltrane's musical ideas! There's a very strong edge to Coltrane's tone here – and even on the mellower ballads, he plays with a sound not always ... read more CD

Archie Shepp —
Splashes – Tribute To Wilbur Little ... CD L+R Records/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1987. Used ... $12.99
An overlooked gem in the career of tenorist Archie Shepp – one of those fantastically soulful European recordings that sometimes get missed, given that Shepp was recording so much and in so many ways overseas during these later years! The style here is a wonderful distillation of the modes ... read more CD

Louis Sclavis —
Lost On The Way ... CD ECM (Germany), 2009. Used ... $9.99
A nice set for ECM for French avant garde jazz veteran Louis Sclavis – bit more linear in instrumentation than some of his more experimental work – but with a heavy mood and muscular angularity that hits the spot just right! Sclavis plays both soprano sax and clarinet on the set, with ... read more CD

A fantastic album by Pharoah Sanders – one of his later albums for Impulse, but one of his best!

One of Roland Kirk's moodiest albums – and a record that really helped him find a big new audience in the 60s! The approach here is a bit different than some of Kirk's more bombastic jazz albums from previous years – gentle, and almost spiritual at times – thanks to heavy use of ... read more CD
