Fantastic funky organ from Jacky Giordano – a European keyboardist who seems to sparkle in just about every style he tries on!

Le Tres Jazz Club (France), Mid 70s. New Copy ... $32.99
Keyboardist Jacky Giordano really steps out here – in an "organ plus" mode that also features work on a fair bit of other electric keys too!

Soul Note (Italy), 1983. Sealed ... $9.99
A pretty electric set from reedman Jimmy Giuffre – a record that moves between fusion touches and some of the freer modes of Giuffre's later years!

Atlantic, 1956. Very Good ... $14.99
Beautiful work from Jimmy Giuffre – and a key album in the development of his spare sound of the late 50s! The record features Jimmy on clarinet – as you'd guess by the title – but this is no hokey set of Benny Goodman or Buddy DeFranco-type tunes. Instead, Giuffre's using the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A tribute to Billie Holiday – with Johnny Griffin's tenor fronting some larger backing on strings and brass – but hipper than most efforts of this type, thanks to some great arrangements by Melba Liston and Norman Simmons! The record's a good change from some of Johnny's more full-on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Blue Note, Late 50s/1975. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $19.99
Excellent 2-fer that brings together 2 of the hardest hardbop albums ever to be recorded for Blue Note! The set includes Johnny Griffin, John Coltrane, and Hank Mobley jamming together on the classic Blowing Session LP (also known as Johnny Griffin, BN 1559); and it's also got John Gilmore and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Timeless, 1979. Near Mint- ... $5.99
The Jamfs are definitely coming on this one – as Johnny Griffin opens up into some of his most badass soloing of the 70s, caught here in an open-ended European styled mode! The album really features only 2 long tracks – recorded in the Cafe Montmartre style that Dexter Gordon used most ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Geneva/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $31.99
A very very cool record – an unusual take on the music to The Connection – that hip early 60s play that featured a more famous version of the soundtrack on Blue Note Records! This version's much more obscure – part of a "localization" that occurred when the play would ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Black & White/Third Man, 1981. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99
An overlooked gem from the Detroit scene of the early 80s – played by a group who came after the generation of Tribe and Strata Records, but who went on to have some really slow-burning influence in their own sort of way! The music definitely has echoes of the loft and spiritual jazz scenes ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Komos (France), 2019. New Copy ... $22.99
A really different take on the music of Don Cherry – but one that we're guessing Don would have really approved of himself! The "acoustronics" in the group's name slightly gives away the vibe – as there's definitely acoustic elements, but also a fair bit of electronics – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
