Herb Alpert —
Rise (expanded edition) ... CD A&M/Shout Factory, 1979. Used ... Out Of Stock
A whole new level of genius for Herb Alpert – a record that's light years away from his earlier work with the Tijuana Brass, and which has the trumpeter stepping strongly into the world of smooth jazzy fusion!

Chet Baker —
You Can't Go Home Again ... CD A&M, 1977. Used ... Out Of Stock
A surprisingly great electric session by Chet Baker from the 70s – and a record that's got a bit more force and power than most of his other sets at the time!

1975 – The Duets ... CD A&M/Verve, 1975. Used ... Out Of Stock
Excellent mid 70s duet jazz from pianist Dave Brubeck & alto Paul Desmond! Duets 1975 is a nicely laidback work from the duo – playing here with no other accompaniment, in a spare set of material that's incredibly fragile and intimate – and all the better for that. The move is a ... read more CD

A&M, 1989. Used ... $6.99
A really back to basics album from trumpeter Don Cherry – or maybe a set that goes back to basics that Don didn't even have, given that most folks initially heard him in the freewheeling group of Ornette Coleman! The album's straighter than his work with Ornette, and also different than his ... read more CD

Don Cherry —
Brown Rice ... CD A&M (Germany), 1976. Used ... Out Of Stock

Roger Kellaway —
Cello Quartet ... CD A&M, 1971. Used ... Out Of Stock
A large, ambitious early 70s experiment in "chamber jazz" from pianist/composer Roger Kellaway – a really haunting set with the sweep you'd be much more in store for on a classical or chamber orchestra record, but with an earthbound core, chords and tonal shifts of a piano jazz ... read more CD

Wes Montgomery —
Day In The Life ... CD CTI/A&M, 1967. Used ... Out Of Stock
Mindblowing!

Also available Day In The Life ... LP 14.99
Sun Ra —
Blue Delight ... CD A&M, 1989. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
