Dexter Gordon —
One Flight Up (180 gram pressing) ... LP Blue Note, 1964. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $36.99 38.99
An unusual set for both Dexter and Blue Note – first, because the set was recorded in Europe (not at Rudy Van Gelder's), and second because the tracks are all quite long!

Rumproller (180 gram pressing) ... LP Blue Note, 1965. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 27.99
A great album by Lee Morgan – and one not to pass up!

Sweet electric funk from trumpeter Donald Byrd – one of his first forays into an electric mode, and done in a style that's very different than his better-known soul fusion of the mid 70s!

Genius, pure genius!

John Coltrane —
Lush Life ... LP Prestige/OJC, 1957/1958. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
A beautiful little album from the young John Coltrane, and one that hides its strong sense of depth behind a familiar jazz standard used as a title!
