The "Paris Blues" theme is a dark, somber composition that is supposedly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Don Elliott Sings ... LP Bethlehem, 1955. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Don Elliott puts down his mellophone and starts to sing – and the results are a surprisingly strong set that's one of his standouts of the 50s! Don's got a limited range, but more than makes up for it with his sense of personality – a mode that's a bit like Jackie Paris or Matt Dennis ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Don Ellis —
Autumn ... CD Columbia/Wounded Bird, 1968. Used ... Out Of Stock
An album of explosive power and imagination from Don Ellis – a set that shows him very firmly shaking off the more academic mode of earlier years, and heading into hipper, more youth-oriented directions!
