Savoy, 1962. Near Mint- ... $26.99
A stunner from Bill Barron! The set's one of the few rare sides that Barron cut as a leader during the early 60s – and it ranks right up there with work by Ornette Coleman or Joe Harriott for sheer raw modern power! The group's a quintet – with Barron and Booker Ervin on tenor, Larry ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s pressing, with previously unissued track "Billie's Bounce".)
Blackhawk, 1988. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Not a trio date, but an unusual moody set – one that mostly has Kenny Barron on piano in duos with either Ron Carter or Michael Moore on bass. LP, Vinyl record album

Juju Street Songs ... LP Prestige, 1972. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Very righteous material from Gary Bartz – and one of his classic NTU Troop albums, with Andy Bey on vocals and electric piano, and the great Stafford James playing some mighty heavy bass! The tracks are nice and long, with a very soulful sound that mixes freer spiritual playing with a good ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Green label pressing. Cover has a cut corner.)

Love Affair ... LP Capitol, 1978. Very Good- ... $4.99
A wicked set from the great Gary Bartz – one done after his mid 70s association with Larry Mizell – but still very much in a similar groove! The album's a great blend of Gary's soulful alto work with sweet electric backings – often put together with that angular stepping mode he ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the lyric sleeve. Cover has some wear.)

Music Is My Sanctuary ... LP Capitol, 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
A fantastic bit of jazz funk fusion – and one of the landmark 70s albums produced by Larry Mizell! This is Gary Bartz's second (and most amazing) collaboration with Larry Mizell – a studio genius who could focus on the best talent of a jazz artist, then expand it using additional ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Basie (aka E=MC2) ... LP Roulette, 1957. Very Good+ ... $14.99
One of THE seminal Basie albums of all time – and a masterful pairing between the Count and arranger Neal Hefti! Hefti has an amazing ear for the Basie groove, and he works here to re-fit the overall sound of the group with a tighter, more fluid approach – one that ensured that they'd ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Pink & orange label pressing. Cover has some ringwear and a small split in the bottom seam.)
Roulette, 1961. Near Mint- ... $5.99
A killer set from Count Basie – recorded during the height of his years at Roulette! The back cover of the record proclaims that "Basie Is Back Home" – clearly a bit by Birdland to lay claim to being the Count's home address, which is a bit of a challenge to his KC roots! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Color bar pressing.)
Count Basie —
Basie Big Band ... LP Pablo, 1975. Very Good- ... $0.99
The Basie band is plenty big here – but never too much so to lose their confident swing of earlier years! The Count is still firmly at the helm at the time of this recording – leading and playing keys with that spacious, stepping quality that makes a Basie number of the later years ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has mostly split seams, spots of old tape and a cutout hole.)
Pablo, 1977. Very Good- Gatefold ... $1.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has initials in purple marker inside the gatefold.)
Count Basie —
Chairman of The Board ... LP Roulette, 1958. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Way before Sinatra first grabbed the "Chairman Of The Board" title for his own musical persona, Basie laid great claim to the tag with this tight little album for Roulette! The album's got the 50s Basie band working at the height of their powers – with original compositions written ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Clef, 1953. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A repackaged version of material from Count Basie's excellent Dance Session albums for Verve – no-nonsense albums that really get at the high-grooving side of the group, and which feature the kind of compelling and catchy tunes that always made them a favorite on the dancefloor! The Count ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
