Roulette, 1976. Sealed ... $19.99
Excellent work from Betty Carter – much more sophisticated than some of her 60s work!

No Business (Lithuania), 1987. New Copy ... $22.99
Great live work from French horn player Vincent Chancey – one of the few jazz musicians we've ever known to touch that instrument, and maybe one of the best!

Chene Noir/Heavenly Sweetness (France), 1976. New Copy ... $24.99
A spiritual set from 70s France – but one that has a very different origin than most!

Alternative Fox (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $19.99
A fantastic album from the great Don Cherry – and maybe one of the earliest examples of the way that he mixed together avant jazz and a globe's worth of influences on the European scene! The album features three long tracks – all seemingly improvised – very heavy on percussion, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(NOTE: Cover says 1979, but all other data indicates that this is the 1967 Paris Trio session.)
BYG/Actuel, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
Don Cherry really breaks out here on his classic Mu sessions from France – using the new freedoms of post-68 Paris to explore themes at a level that would set the tone for generations to come! The album's very spare, and very improvised – with Cherry on pocket trumpet, piano, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Alternative Fox (UK), 1967. New Copy ... $18.99
Four slices of genius from this important German jazz festival of the 60s – one of the leading showcases for the best in avant garde and experimental music!

Siege, 1982. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A very hip little local set from Chicago – breezy jazz tracks with some hip soulful vocals from Elaine Hamilton – all recorded in a way that sounds like some lost west coast set from the 70s! The group features piano, guitar, bass, and drums – but Elaine's vocals are the star ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic, 1965. Very Good ... $6.99
Pianist Walter Chiles and bassist Clarend Pettiford were 2 parts ofa smokin' little combo that grooved in the sort of jazz/pop style shared by similar groups like Young Holt Unlimited.

(Blue & green label pressing. Cover has some wear.)
Capitol, 1957. Very Good ... $4.99
That's "gone" – as in the way June Christy really sends us – vocals that take us to a place that few other 50s singers could ever hope to reach! June's work here is a masterpiece of melancholic understatement – far less overblown than some of her pop contemporaries, but ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Turquiose label pressing.)
EMI/Rearward (Italy), 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
One of the hippest albums ever from the team of Kenny Clarke and Francy Boland – a unique small combo session that's even groovier than their famous big band work!

All My Relations ... LP Daptone, 2019. New Copy ... $18.99 19.99
You might know Cochemea Gastelum from his work in The Dap-Kings over the years – but this time around, the saxophonist is very much his own man – blowing a version of his instruments that often seems electrified, ala classic Varitone from the late 60s – used in these really new ...

ECM (Germany), 2020. New Copy ... $24.99 25.99
Trumpeter Avishai Cohen has given us many great records over the years, yet this time around, he seems to be cooking up something extra-special – an album that still echoes some of his older ideas, but which maybe has a bit more warmth, and a bit more unity – qualities that seem to come ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Al Cohn —
Mr Music ... LP RCA, 1954. Very Good ... $9.99
A tight little record – with a strong focus on Al Cohn's solo work! Al's the lead soloist in a number of largish groups that are often tightly arranged, but which let the leader break out nicely – cutting with an edge on his tenor that's sometimes even sharper than usual. Cohn handled ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Nothing too mad here, but a wonderful record that really shows the genius of Richie Cole in the 70s!

Blue Goose, 1976. Near Mint- ... $24.99
A cool little record with vintage sounds to match its cover image from Robert Crumb – performed here by a combo with Crumb on banjo and vocals, in kind of an offbeat take on early styles from jazz and string band music! The rest of the group plays a number of different instruments – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Why Not (Japan), 1976. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of the hippest records ever cut by trumpeter Ted Curson – and that's saying a lot, because all his records are pretty darn hip!

LP, Vinyl record album
BBE (UK), 2015. Sealed ... $11.99
A really fresh groove from Dalindeo – still very much in the tight jazzy territory of their previous records, but with a strong addition of electric guitar added into the mix!

Bitches Brew ... LP Columbia, 1969. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
One of the few cases in jazz where an oft-played classic still resonates with power!

ESP ... LP Columbia, 1965. Very Good ... $39.99
An album of dark and subtle beauty – and still one of our favorite Miles Davis albums of all time!
