Jan Akkerman ... LP Atlantic, 1978. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A very different album than usual from Jan Akkerman – but in a really nice way! The album's not nearly as guitar-heavy and rock-leaning as some of Jan's other sets from the 70s – and has a bubbling sort of soul-based finish, one that's arranged by Akkerman with some help from Mike ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jan Akkerman Live ... LP Atlantic, 1978. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A late 70s live set from space jazz/jazz rock guitar guru Jan Akkerman – rolling from spacious, sparely haunting atmospherics to tighter, sax and keys punctuated fusion jams! This live set was his Atlantic followed up his self titled album, and it grooves in similar territory – not as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tabernakel ... LP Atco, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Guitarist Jan Akkerman bridges many worlds here – deftly stepping between spare acoustic guitar modes and some much more dynamic electric ones – but all with a sense of care and vision that really makes the record come together! The set begins with a few themes from John Dowland, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic, 1976. Near Mint- ... $8.99
Jan Akkerman did plenty of unusual projects in the 70s, and this album may well be the best of them – an outing with vocalist Kaz Lux, whose unique phrasing really helps give the music a lot of focus! Akkerman's still hanging nicely between rock, funk, and jazz – but the use of vocals ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a tracklist sticker, some ring and edge wear, and is bent at the top left corner.)
Manny Albam —
Blues Is Everybody's Business ... LP Coral, 1955. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A great 4-part suite that rivals any of Manny Albam's other sessions from the time – including Jazz Greats Of Our Time, or Jazz New York – and, like that one, a set that's filled with top-shelf jazz talents at the time! The tracks here are all quite long, and done in a bluesy mode that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Heavy gold label Citation series pressing with deep groove, with intact booklet inside the gatefold. Cover looks great, with minimal wear.)
Manny Albam —
Soul Of The City ... LP Solid State, 1966. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A wonderful little session from Manny Albam – one that continues the strong tradition of larger group jazz arranging he began in the 60s, but which takes it to an even deeper level! Manny composed the entire set as kind of a "city suite" in jazz – one that paints the picture ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ronnie Aldrich —
That Aldrich Feeling ... LP London, 1965. Sealed Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
The Aldrich feeling is certainly in place here – that beautiful twin-piano approach that almost has Ronnie's keys "answering" themselves as they move from speaker to speaker on the record! The orchestrations here are light and often a bit groovy – not the hippest of 60s easy, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Joe Alexander —
Blue Jubilee ... LP Jazzland, 1960. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A soul jazz masterpiece – and one of the rarest albums on the Jazzland label! Tenorist Joe Alexander has a mean, raw tone on the set – clearly influenced by the early 60s soul jazz generation, but also with some nicely off-beat tones that give him a really unique feel. He's backed ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Monty Alexander —
Unlimited Love (aka Monty Strikes Again) ... LP MPS (Germany), 1974. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of the most obscure 70s albums by Monty Alexander for MPS – and a sweet set of piano grooves recorded live in 1974! The album features Monty's group with the great Ernest Ranglin on guitar – working in a mixture of straighter jazz and a few funky numbers that hang nicely on warm ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Pleasure Bent ... LP New Jazz/Prestige, 1961. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the few albums ever cut by this incredible tenor sax player – a wonderful talent that we only know from a handful of records – all of which we love! This date's got a bold sound that very much lives up to its cover, and Alexander's placement on Prestige's New Jazz label – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese-only reissue pressing!)
Lorez Alexandria —
Alexandria The Great ... LP Impulse, 1964. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $11.99
A beautiful album from Lorez Alexanderia – one of her two excellent sessions for Impulse! The record was cut after Lorez recorded some great sides for the Argo label – and it works off the strength of those sides, taking her unique vocal approach, forged in R&B, but smoothed by ...

More Of The Great Lorez Alexandria ... LP Impulse, 1964. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A beautiful album by one of our favorite jazz singers! Lorez Alexandria is in a perfect setting here – singing with subtly sophisticated backings that really let her take charge, and direct the songs tightly with her incredibly soulful vocals! Instrumentation is mostly in a small combo ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sings The Songs of Johnny Mercer Vol 1 ... LP Discovery, 1981. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
While not as funky as some of her other records for Discovery, this tasty session of vocal tracks still has Lorez singing in a beautifully soulful style, of the type that she's finally getting recognition for these days! The lady has always been one of our favorite vocalists, and she's got some ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

RCA, 1957. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A swing session, but one from the late 50's that has more of an edge to it than you'd expect. The group includes Buster Bailey, J.C.
