Trion (Germany), 1981. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!

Rearward/Schema (Italy), 1963. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
A rare treasure from the early 60s Italian jazz scene – one of the earlier albums we've heard from tenor sax player Eraldo Volonte, even though he'd been active in the Italy's jazz landscape for a number of years by this point – and it's really beautiful stuff! A veteran of the Italian ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Von Moizy/Burzlaff (Germany), 1985. Near Mint- ... $49.99
With special guests Silvie Kronewald and Paul B Engel. LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover is lightly bent at the top right corner.)
Voig (Germany), 1980. Very Good+ ... $11.99
We always love work by pianist Klaus Ignatzek, but this set's a really special treat – a batch of duets with alto saxophonist Jochen Voss, served up in long, open tracks that really let both players shine! The sound is never free jazz, but clearly improvised – and there's a melodic ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some light wear.)
Dolphin, 1957. Very Good ... $11.99
With Bob Burnet on trumpet, Charlie Spero on clarinet, Russ Phillips on trombone, Reimer Hoffman on bass, Ralph Blank on piano, Spence Clark on bass sax, and Freddie Wacker on drums. LP, Vinyl record album

Music Minus One, Mid 60s. Very Good Gatefold ... $11.99
One of Mal's rare sessions for the Music Minus One label – performed by his trio with Addison Farmer on bass and Ed Shaughnessy on drums, and ostensibly designed to accompany a solo singer or instrumentalist – but equally nice on its own. The feel is a bit open, and titles include ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Missing sheet music. Vinyl plays with a few clicks.)
Victor/Alternative Fox (UK), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99
Far-reaching and incredibly soulful work from Mal Waldron and Gary Peacock! Both players are at the height of their powers here, and have a warmth and sense of interplay that makes the session one of the best they did alone or together during the time. The group's a trio, with Hiroshi Murakami ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Revue, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $16.99
Perhaps the best of the early David T Walker albums for Revue – and certainly the one that has the highest concept of all of his work for the label. The tracks move past his usual pop jazz style, and into a stretched-out mode that shows traces of Gabor Szabo, and perhaps a bit of Pat Martino ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Enja (Germany), 1981. Near Mint- ... $9.99

(Yellow label pressing with deep groove – vinyl and cover are nice!)
Interlude, 1958. Very Good ... $14.99
An unusual session, given the date – as 1957 would hardly be the year that anyone would need to "present bop" – but a great one nonetheless, and a record that we'd rank right up there with the best work of pianist George Wallington! The album's noteworthy not only because it's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Agogo (Germany), 2019. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $16.99
A funk band with horns, but one with a very different feel than the rest – as these guys have arrangements that are nicely complicated up top – in a way that has the horns moving in all these really wonderful, colorful sort of ways! Instead of the usual inspirations from 60s soul or ... (Deep Funk, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Columbia/Return To Analog (Canada), 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $16.99
A completely wonderful album from percussionist Guy Warren – a creative musician who made lots of great records over the years – but who maybe never topped himself after this gem from the late 60s UK scene!

Grover Live (180 gram gold vinyl pressing) (2020 Black Friday Release) ... LP Lightyear, 1997. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $34.99
Late live material from Grover Washington – previously unreleased, and proof that the saxophone master was still plenty darn soulful towards the end of his career!

Kudu, 1977. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $6.99

Sony (Japan), 1970. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A pivotal record in the career of this brilliant Japanese saxophonist – a set recorded in New York with a trio players from the American scene – done in a style that's even more freewheeling than most of Sadao Watanabe's previous work!

Jazzman (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 29.99
Really wonderful work from a very overlooked talent – reedman Roscoe Weathers, a player who worked the west coast in the 60s before settling in LA – then led a group with a very strong flute sound in the lead! Roscoe's music here has plenty of echoes of the spiritualism of Yusef Lateef ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Columbia/EMI (Sweden), 1972. Very Good+ ... $24.99
A really cool set – with Roby Weber on electric and acoustic piano, next to Ueli Staub on vibes – in a mode that almost has some of the funky touches and offbeat rhythms of the Dave Pike MPS records, but a bit more straight ahead!

Spotlite, 1972. Near Mint- ... $9.99

Edition (UK), 2020. New Copy ... $23.99 26.99
A really lovely little record from tenor saxophonist/pianist Ben Wendel, and a set that's definitely got a high heart – this warmth that almost belies the cover – and which comes from Ben's own work on tenor, and the very cool wordless vocals of Michael Mayo!

Savoy, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ... $19.99
One of those classic 50s sessions in which a bunch of Count Basie players split off from the bigger group and do some great small combo work on their own! The album is leader-less in its billing – but only because all the players are so well tuned to each other, and have such a simpatico ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Decca, 1956. Very Good ... $19.99
A hipper group than you'd expect – especially since they're all college kids!

An early full length album by Randy Weston – one that mostly features tunes by other composers, all given a slightly modern twist at the piano!

EMI (Japan), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $46.99
Finnish soul, by an American singer – not the same Charles Williams that you might know from 70s jazz funk albums – but an even earlier talent, really shining brightly here in a soulful Scandinavian setting!

Bethlehem, 1956. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A repackaged version of an earlier Bethlehem album by pianist Claude Williamson – originally issued with his own name as the title.

A rare early gem from Joe Lee Wilson – the singer who's probably best known to the world for his performances on Archie Shepp's late Impulse recordings.

Jazz Is Dead, 2020. New Copy 2LP ... $30.99 32.99
A great new showcase for the legendary keyboard work of Doug Carn – and a set that's very different both from his famous albums for the Black Jazz label, and some of his organ jazz records in more recent years too!

RCA, 1962. Very Good ... $24.99
A live set from this obscure Mexican jazz combo – recorded in the early 60s, in a mode that's kind of a small combo take on an Ellington sound, but with some freer twists too! The approach is nicely offbeat – starting out familiar at first, but then opening up with some offbeat ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Strand, 1959. Very Good ... $14.99
Very early work from Joe Zawinul – an unusual trio outing recorded upon Zawinul's initial arrival in the US, years before later fame with Cannonball Adderley and Weather Report!

Elektra/Nonesuch, 1987. Near Mint- ... $39.99
One of our favorite Zorn "tribute" albums from the 80s – in this case a set of long pastiche tracks that pays hommage to pulp writer Mickey Spillane, Albert Collins, and the film Forbidden Fruit.

A rare set from Zorro Five – a South African group, but one who sound a bit like some of the best Italian sound library combos of the time – really stepping out in a hip blend of riffing guitar, hard drums, and organ!
