Marlin, 1979. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Maybe one of the most soul-based records ever from percussionist Ralph MacDonald – partly because Ralph does a bit of singing, in addition to playing the heavy congas on the cover!

An overlooked 80s album from reedman Didier Malherbe – best known for his 70s experiments in jazz and prog! The style here continues that mode, but adds in a touch of fusion – but all in a way that's very tasteful, and much cooler than the cover might make you expect! LP, Vinyl record album

Different work than usual for Herbie – a series of sides recorded in Sweden in the late 50s, featuring Herbie on both flute and tenor!

Mode/Premier, 1957. Very Good+ ... $8.99
An excellent little album from the team of Herbie Mann & Buddy Collette – one that has both players using a wide range of reed instruments, and not just flute!

Herbie Mann —
Stone Flute ... LP Embryo, 1970. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $13.99
Stone flute, or stoned flute, the album's got a really laidback feel – a sound that's very open-ended, and quite different from some of the crossover classics Herbie Mann was cutting a few short years before!

A great little record, filled with loads of cross-cultural influences that make for one of the most exotic Herbie Mann albums of the 60s!

The style's clearly influenced by CTI – as Jimmy's using electric piano as much as organ – and is getting some fuller support in the backings ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has edge wear.)
Jimmy McGriff —
Thing To Come By ... LP Solid State, 1969. Very Good Gatefold ... $13.99
A really fantastic record from Hammond hero Jimmy McGriff – and one that has him opening up his groove a fair bit more than on his early Sue Records sides! Jimmy's sense of rhythm and timing here is great – really changing up and keeping things interesting – still with enough of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has light wear.)
Columbia (Japan), 1951. Good ... $1.99
John McLaughlin —
Electric Guitarist ... LP Columbia, 1978. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
A key change for John McLaughlin – post-Mahavishnu, post-Shakti, and very much the electric guitarist promised in the title! The album's one of McLaughlin's more professional fusion outings of the 70s, but still has some of the earthiness of his roots – and despite a rather large ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has bumped corners and is bent a bit at the top seam.)
John McLaughlin —
My Goal's Beyond ... LP Douglas, 1970. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $14.99
Two sides of McLaughlin, both showcasing his spiritual exploratory inclination. The first side of this album features McLaughlin in a group with Billy Cobham, Airto, Charlie Haden, Dave Liebman and Jerry Goodman plus nice Indian touches from Mahalakshmi on sitar and Badal Roy on tabla. They ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Red label pressing. Includes the red inner sleeve. Cover has light wear and bumped corners.)
Dawn/Pye, 1971. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A groundbreaking early album from guitarist John McLaughlin – a set that's a bit different than his more famous work of the mid 70s – with maybe a more avant approach, and a lot more bite as well! The set's really an equal collaboration, rather than just a McLaughlin session – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 70s US pressing. Cover has a cut corner, some ring and edge wear, round sticker spot, and some peeling from index label removal at the top left corner.)
Columbia, 1983. Near Mint- ... $4.99
An all acoustic guitar trio – tracks include "Aspan", "Chiquito", "David", "Orient Blues Suite", and the title track "Passion, Grace & Fire". LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
Blue Note, 1960. Near Mint- ... $29.99 34.99
A crackling date from Jackie McLean – a set that's got a more expansive feel than some of his earlier Blue Note work – filled with fire, far from the 50s – and really pointing the way towards his new directions to come! There's a hint of modernism in the mix, mostly on the tone ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Bluesnik ... CD 4.99(80s French analog pressing. Cover has light wear – vinyl is nice.)
Blue Note, 1964. Near Mint- ... $43.99
It certainly was time – time for Jackie McLean to break out of his older bop mode, and hit a whole new level of playing with a tight group of "new thing" compatriots like Herbie Hancock on piano, Cecil McBee on bass, and Charles Tolliver on trumpet! The record isn't as totally ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 90s Japanese pressing – BN 4179 – with insert.)
Steeplechase (Denmark), 1972. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Jackie McLean opens it up at Cafe Montmartre in Copenhagen – blowing in the long, open-ended style usually associated with live dates from the club! The format here is similar to the better-known Montmartre recordings by Dexter Gordon and Johnny Griffin – strong rhythms from a trio ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese pressing, with obi!)
Blue Note (Japan), 1962. Near Mint- ... $49.99
A wonderful quartet session from the young alto genius Jackie McLean – recorded for Blue Note in the 60s, but not issued until many years later! That issue doesn't stop the set from being a classic killer, though – as the group features the stunning Sonny Clark on piano, still very ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese King pressing, with insert. Back cover has some very light aging, but front is great.)
Jackie McLean & The Great Jazz Trio —
New Wine In Old Bottles (Inner City) ... LP East Wind/Inner City, 1978. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A very apt title – as Jackie McLean sits in for a soulful session with the Great Jazz Trio of Hank Jones, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams – all "old bottles" at this point in their career, but working together beautifully to brew some very mellow "new wine"! The album' ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Charles McPherson —
Siku Ya Bibi – Day Of The Lady (Japanese pressing) ... LP Mainstream/Teichiku (Japan), 1972. Very Good ... $14.99
One of the most distinct early dates from reedman Charles McPherson – a unique "with strings" session recorded as a tribute to Billie Holiday – and with a style that shows off sides of McPherson's playing that wouldn't show up on other records for years to come! The album's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese pressing. Cover has some splitting on the spine.)
Carmen McRae —
By Special Request ... LP Decca, 1955. Very Good ... $9.99
A cool session for Decca that has Carmen McRae's vocals flowing out wonderfully amidst some very haunting backings! The sound here is a bit unusual – given that the groups are headed by accordion Mat Mathews and pianist Dick Katz – both of whom have a good ear for unusual phrasing, and ...

(Mono small black label pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear, yellowing from age, and a split bottom seam held with yellowed clear tape.)
Time, 1962. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A wonderful set by Carmen McRae – captured at San Francisco's Sugar Hill in 1962 – backed by a tight trio! Carmen is in sweet form here, very loose and and wise, and the group knows just how to fill out the sound. She scats loosely on the opening "Sunday", nearly hits a weep ...

Liberty, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $11.99

The small combo features Emil Richards on percussion, Don Peake on guitar, and Hal Blaine on drums – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Real Time, 1981. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $7.99

Pat Metheny —
American Garage ... LP ECM, 1979. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A brilliantly evocative album from Pat Metheny – one that's got a quietly epic feel, as Pat and group soar out across the American landscape in a set of tunes that subtly explore space and sound while still remaining wonderfully fluid. There's nothing forced here, and nothing too slick ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(German pressing with barcode sticker on the back. A nice copy!)
ECM, 1982. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $16.99
A live album, but every bit as seminal as the studio sides that Pat Metheny cut for ECM at the time – and proof that the Metheny magic was clearly his own, and not just a product of studio tricks by Manfred Eicher! The set reprises tunes and themes from a variety of Metheny's earlier ECM ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(US pressing. Cover has light wear.)
