An odd little session for Miles Davis – playing here with a great group, but one that's made up of musicians who are all uncommon sidemen for him, even at this early point in his career! Britt Woodman (a nom-du-date?) is on trombone, and Charles Mingus and Elvin Jones are in the rhythm ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Maroon label flat edge Debut pressing. Vinyl has a short click on "There's No You", but the rest is nice and clean. Cover has light wear, some aging, with a split spine and bottom seam.)
Capitol, Late 40s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Legendary early work from trumpeter Miles Davis – late 40s sessions for Capitol Records that are completely different than the bop material he was cutting with Charlie Parker and on his own! Instead, these sides have Miles working with a complex, more arranged style – built up with a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Live material on LP here for the first time ever!)
Columbia/4 Men With Beards, 1974. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $23.99 27.99
Some of Miles noisiest, freest playing from the 70s – recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1974, and originally issued only in Japan – most likely because the album was so darn noisy, Columbia was scared to release it to the American market! As with other Davis gems from this time, the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Columbia, 1959. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 25.98
What can we say? This is the ultimate Miles Davis album – the one that includes so many songs that we've heard way too much in Starbucks, in retail stores, or at a friend's house who claims to be a "jazz expert", but is really a yuppie dilettante. Yet somehow, over all the years, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Miles Davis Vol 2 (Blue Note 1502) ... LP Blue Note, Early 50s. Very Good ... $29.99
Volume 2 of a pair of LPs that brought together Miles Davis' early recordings for Blue Note – some excellent sessions recorded in 1952, 1953, and 1954, featuring Miles' young trumpet blowing in a wonderful mix of cool, bop, lyrical, and modern jazz. The style's a bit rougher than later years ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Liberty stereo pressing.)
Columbia, 1966. Very Good- ... $18.99
Miles Smiles, but his grin is a wry one – given the angular energy of the set!

Milestones ... LP Columbia, 1958. Very Good ... $14.99
One of our 50s favorites by Miles Davis – and a record that offers the same twin-sax sound as his classic Kind Of Blue – with both John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley working alongside Miles in the group! Rhythm here is by the Prestige-era trio of Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s stereo pressing.)
Rhino, 1986. New Copy 2LP ... $28.99 31.98
Great lost work from Miles Davis – early material recorded for Warner Brothers in the mid 80s, and never released at the time – now finally uncovered from the vaults, and presented with a few slight contemporary touches!

SFP/SAM (France), 1965. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
One of the first true moments of genius from saxophonist Nathan Davis – a mid 60s European session cut for the tiny SFP label – and a record that's even rarer than his early classics for MPS! The sound here is similar to the MPS sides – a mixture of soul jazz and modal jazz ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Oracle ... LP International Anthem, 2019. New Copy ... $20.99 21.99
Beautiful solo sounds from Angel Bat Dawid – a Chicago clarinetist who works here with the same inventive spirit as the other contemporary artists on the International Anthem label!

Black Space Tapes ... LP Stones Throw, 2019. New Copy ... $16.99 17.99
Spiritual sounds from the west coast underground – and a set that's maybe got a few more avant moments than other records of this kind! Jamael Dean plays piano in a shifting landscape of musicians – one that features percussion and production from the great Carlos Nino, some strings ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

... LP, Vinyl record album
Verve, 1958. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A very hip session that has Buddy working with some of the fresher modern players on the scene at the time – all in a groove that echoes with some of the sharpest notes we've heard from his clarinet in the 50s! The ensemble has a really dreamy feel – with flute from Herbie Mann, vibes ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(MGM pressing. Cover has some splitting on the spine and top seam.)
Verve, 1957. Near Mint- ... $19.99
Older tunes, redone beautifully by Buddy DeFranco – in a sweetly open-ended style that makes the album one of his best for Verve! The album was done in 2 different sessions – one with Ray Linn on trumpet, Jimmy Rowles on piano, and Barney Kessel on guitar – the other with George ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Buddy DeFranco & Oscar Peterson —
Buddy DeFranco & Oscar Peterson Play George Gershwin ... LP Norgran, 1954. Very Good+ ... $34.99
As the title indicates, the session features Buddy DeFranco and Oscar Peterson – but the real guy we wanna thank here is arranger Russ Garcia! Unlike some of the other Verve "soloist with the Peterson Trio" albums of the 50s, this one is more of a shared effort that has Buddy and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label Norgran pressing, with trumpeter logo and deep groove. Cover has taped top and bottom seams, but is otherwise nice.)
Pablo, 1985. Near Mint- ... $3.99
A great reunion of Buddy DeFranco and Oscar Peterson – two players who recorded together famously for Verve in the 50s, working here on an 80s date under the supervision of old Verve head Norman Granz! The setting here is even more loose and laidback than in the 50s – that mellow Pablo ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
