Capitol, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $19.99
Once again, Cannon proves that it's not the song, it's the singer!

Cannonball Adderley —
Music You All ... LP Capitol, 1971. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Killer work from the same sessions that gave the world Cannonball Adderley's classic Black Messiah album – live material from an extended stretch as the Troubadour club in LA – featuring a very righteous, freewheeling version of Cannonball's group!

Toshiko Akiyoshi —
United Notions ... LP MGM/Metro, 1958. Near Mint- ... $24.99
A unique early large group session from pianist Toshiko Akioshi – recorded with a hip group of international players! The record's almost a precursor of some of Akioshi's better-known big band work of later years – but it's got more of a small combo feel overall, thanks to a tight ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese pressing, with obi!)
Toshiko Akiyoshi/RCA, 1974. Near Mint- ... $11.99
A 70s classic from the team of Toshiko Akioshi and Lew Tabackin – a duo who did for the jazz ensemble mode in their generation what Kenny Clarke and Francy Boland did in the 60s! The material here is wonderfully inventive – the kind of compositions that Toshiko wouldn't have even ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Capitol, 1961. Very Good ... $1.99
Discovery, 1981. Very Good+ ... $5.99
While not as funky as some of her other records for Discovery, this tasty session of vocal tracks still has Lorez singing in a beautifully soulful style, of the type that she's finally getting recognition for these days!

Warner, 1969. Near Mint- ... $39.99

Boss Tenor ... LP Prestige, 1960. Good ... Just Sold Out!
A soul jazz classic from Gene Ammons – the kind of session that easy made him "boss" on tenor – with a tone and conception that few other players could touch! The set is done in a style that's laidback, but never too loose – bouncing along in that "with conga" ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Boss Tenor (RVG remaster series) ... CD 9.99(Mono yellow and black label NJ pressing with deep groove and RVG stamp. Cover has light wear and some aging.)
Prestige, 1965. Very Good+ ... $19.99

Prestige, 1963. Very Good+ ... $28.99

Chris Anderson —
My Romance ... LP Vee Jay/RVC (Japan), 1960. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A rare session from Chicago pianist Chris Anderson – a hell of a player on the ivories, but one who's been woefully under-recorded over the years!

Earl Anderza —
Outa Sight ... LP Pacific Jazz, 1962. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A lost treasure from the glory days of the LA soul jazz bop scene of the early 60s!

Art Ensemble Of Chicago —
Fanfare For The Warriors ... LP Atlantic, 1974. Near Mint- ... $34.99

(Original pressing. Cover has a small cutout mark and a promo sticker.)
Art Ensemble Of Chicago —
Les Stances A Sophie (Nessa pressing) ... LP Nessa, 1970. Good ... Just Sold Out!
Probably the greatest album ever by the Art Ensemble of Chicago – and also one of their rarest!

Chet Baker —
Chet Baker & Crew ... LP Pacific Jazz, 1956. Sealed ... $19.99
Killer work from the late 50's by Chet! Although Baker's trumpet playing in the early part of the decade became known as one of the trademark "cool" sounds of the west coast, he started to move towards a sound that was a lot more hardbop at the end of the decade – as you'll hear on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Original gatefold pressing. Cover has a small peeled spot from sticker removal in front.)
Chet Baker Sextet —
Chet Is Back! (Jazz Images) ... LP RCA/Jazz Images, 1962. Sealed ... Just Sold Out!
One of Chet Baker's rarest albums – and a great one!

Fania, 1982. Very Good ... $19.99
A lesser-known indie session by the great Gato Barbieri – a set recorded for Fania after Gato's dates for bigger labels in the 70s, but one that's done with a really full, professional sound overall!

(Mexican sunset label pressing. Cover has minimal wear.)
ESP, 1967. Very Good+ ... $39.99
One of the first albums ever cut as a leader by reedman Gato Barbieri – and a very sharp-edged session that's quite different than his better-known work in the 70s!

Debut, 1953. Very Good ... $159.99
The earliest work on record from pianist Paul Bley – the Canadian modernist who'd become much better known for his more experimental work in later years, but who's heard here in a slightly straighter trio set!

RCA, 1970. Very Good ... $9.99
A wickedly wonderful record from Luiz Bonfa – one that has his bossa-inflected guitar style supported by larger arrangements by Marty Manning.

Eddie Bonnemere —
Jazz Orient-ed ... LP Prestige, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A great obscure one on Prestige!

Tabu, 1977. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Soaring work from guitarist Michael Boothman – a record that's probably more in a soul instrumental mode than a jazz one – but which is plenty darn great, thanks to help from a variety of top-shelf talents!

Back To Back ... LP Arista, 1976. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
