RCA, 1968. Near Mint- ... $11.99
One of the most ambitious projects ever from vibist Gary Burton – an extended piece written by Carla Bley – and billed as "A Dark Opera Without Words"!

Crystal Silence ... LP ECM, 1972. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Mellow vibes and spacious piano – a 70s classic from the team of Chick Corea and Gary Burton, serving up some of their finest work of the decade!

Landmark, 1988. Near Mint- ... $3.99
A beautifully sensitive album from Donald Byrd – quite a change from his better-known jazz funk work of the 70s and early 80s – and part of a back-to-basics move he made in part of that latter decade!

Blue Note, 1963. Very Good ... $19.99

An essential bit of jazz funk from Donald Byrd and Larry Mizell!

(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
Verve, 1964. Very Good ... $16.99
A great album, and unlike anything else Donald Byrd ever recorded – almost mad hodgepodge of the styles Byrd used at Blue Note, as the session brings together funky soul jazz with vocal backings – linking the groove of At The Races with the choral stylings of A New Perspective! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(MGM pressing with deep groove. Vinyl has a mark that clicks on "Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child".)
Warwick, 1961. Very Good ... $79.99
Some of the best recordings that Donald Byrd and Pepper Adams ever did together!

Metro, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Given that Red was one of the few tuba players in jazz, this album certainly was "The Lowest" – at least in terms of tone, as Red spends a lot of time rumbling around in bottom notes!

RCA, 1954. Near Mint- ... $29.99
A tight little record – with a strong focus on Al Cohn's solo work!

Cohn handled ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
