Pablo, 1983. Sealed ... $6.99
A wonderful reunion of the team of Frank Foster and Frank Wess – caught here in an easy-going and laidback style that's miles away from their work with Count Basie!

Edition Wacker (Germany), 1972. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $69.99
A brilliant set of free jazz from the German scene of the 70s – very different than other work of the time, in that there's maybe more of a future-thinking balance between sounds and silence, frenzy and fragility – all served up by a quartet that features Herbert Joos on trumpet and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
