Mongo Santamaria —
Watermelon Man! ... LP Battle, 1962. Very Good+ ... $19.99
A seminal moment in the career of Mongo Santamaria – and probably the first record to show that he was destined for greatness! As you might guess from the title, the set features Mongo's key recording of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" – served up here in a sharp-edged ... (Latin, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono red label Battle pressing. Cover has some edge wear and aging.)
Kitty/We Want Sounds (UK), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
Funky fusion from late 70s Japan – a set that's got a bit of vocals in the lead on some tracks, but which really opens up with some sweet keyboard-heavy instrumentation! There's almost a sharper, more soul-based groove here than on other Japanese sessions of the time – and the presence ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
RCA/Mr Bongo (UK), 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
A killer set of jazz rock from early 70s Japan – and a set that's way different than Anglo albums of this nature! There's definitely a mix of horns, jazzy soloing, and electrified elements on guitar, bass, and keyboards – but the themes here are often strongly Japanese, and also ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Saxo (Belgium), Late 70s. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A great Belgian jazz tribute to the departed reedman Bobby Jaspar and guitarist Rene Thomas – not done as a simple version of their tunes, but set up with work from a reed-heavy octet – with performances from Jacques Pelzer, Steve Houben, Henry Solbach, Robert Jeanne, and John Ruocco! LP, Vinyl record album
Horo (Italy), 1974. Very Good+ ... $39.99
A splendid session – one of the best of the early Horo recordings, and a mixture of modern and straight jazz that shows off the best impulses of the label! The star here would appear to be pianist Gaslini, at least from the cover placement of his name – but Schiano's the real leading ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Verve, 1964. Very Good Gatefold ... $14.99
The great Lalo Schifrin plays piano and leads a crack group of studio players through some larger orchestral material with a nice jazzy feel!

Shirley Scott —
Blue Seven ... LP Prestige, 1961. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A standout early session from organist Shirley Scott – noteworthy in that it's a quintet recording, different than Shirley's mostly-trio output from the time!

Groovin' set of tracks that has the lady organist in two settings – one with her trio with Jimmy Cobb on drums, the other with a hard swingin' big band led by Oliver Nelson.

Impulse, Mid 60s. Very Good Gatefold ... $7.99

Mobile Fidelity/Gryphon, 1979. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $11.99
A serious later session from Don Sebesky – one that shows that he's still capable of plenty of darkness in his music, even after scoring some smoother sets in the 70s!

Wayne Shorter —
Etcetera (180 gram pressing) ... LP Blue Note, 1965. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $28.99 34.99
Don't let the title fool you, as the album's hardly an "etcetera" – not some run-on work from Wayne Shorter, but a real lost cooker from his 60s Blue Note years!

AVA, 1962. Sealed ... $4.99
A sweet little date for the AVA label – one that features the tenor and clarinet of Herb Steward set amidst lush strings from Dick Hazard! The sound is very dreamy and laidback – a great sort of late nite romantic jazz set – and Steward's horn still comes through strongly, with a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Choreo pressing. Shrinkwrap has some sticker remnants.)

(EU pressing.)
Orindal, 2019. Near Mint- ... $11.99
The most spiritual set we've heard so far from reedman Robert Stillman – a set hat's filled with slow-building tunes that provide a fantastic display for his saxophone solos! The record oddly has no credits, so we're not sure who's working with Stillman on the set – but the drummer is ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(White vinyl pressing, still with the stickered outer sleeve.)
Muse, 1981. Very Good- ... $4.99
Plenty of style here – a great later date from Sonny Stitt – one of those near-perfect gems from the years when he had fallen far from the mainstream of jazz, but could still blow with some of the best! There's a simple, almost understated quality to the date that's really wonderful ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some wear with a center split spine and masking tape along the bottom seam.)
Sonny Stitt —
Stitt Plays Bird ... LP Atlantic, 1963. Very Good+ ... $19.99
After years of staying free of comparisons with Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt steps confidently into a set of compositions by the late, great one – sounding really wonderful in his own interpretations of these classics! The album's got the same simple and focused still as Stitt's best work on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue & green label stereo pressing. Cover has a residue stain in the top right.)
Sonny Stitt —
Stomp Off Let's Go ... LP Flying Dutchman, 1976. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
An unusual late record from the legendary Sonny Stitt – a set that's got some electricity in the group, but at a level that's not entirely funky jazz! Instead, the tracks are long, and feature some well-crafted solos from the leader – and the vibe here is loose at times, a bit like the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Sonny Stitt & Red Holloway —
Just Friends ... LP Affinity (UK), 1977. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A great session of 70s bop revival from the team of Sonny Stitt and Red Holloway – working here in the warm and sunny style of the great Catalyst label!

Riverside, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $11.99
One of the most unusual albums on the Riverside label – an obscure outing from vocalist/pianist Ralph Strain – presented with a cover that lists the names of all the people who are permitted to buy the record! We're guessing that Riverside allowed unlisted folks to buy the record ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label stereo pressing, with silver text and microphone logo.)

Warner (Japan), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99
A nice little live set from Stuff – one that's recorded in Tokyo, with a groove that's a bit more open than their better-known New York live album from a few years later! The sound's somewhat rougher than the Stuff studio sessions, but in a good way – one that shows that the combo can ... (Soul, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Stuff —
Stuff It ... LP Warner/Just Sunshine, 1979. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Late 70s soul fusion from masters of the groove – perhaps the best ever by the late 70s supergroup Stuff – featuring a core group that includes Cornell Dupree, Steve Gadd, Eric Gale, and Richard Tee!
