Directions – Unreleased Recordings 1960 to 1970 (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD CBS/Sony (Japan), 1960s/1970. Used 2 CDs ... Out Of Stock
A surprisingly nice set of tracks that were recorded for Columbia during the 60s, but not issued until the time of this 1981 compilation.

Miles Davis —
Miles Ahead (Japanese pressing) ... CD CBS/Sony (Japan), 1957. Used ... Out Of Stock
A masterful meeting of two 50s modern jazz talents – the trumpet of Miles Davis balanced with the arrangements of Gil Evans – with results that have made the album one of Miles' greatest ever! The sound here is completely sublime – as Davis gets all chromatic and spooky over ... read more CD
(Includes obi!)
Miles Davis —
Miles In Antibes (aka Miles Davis In Europe) ... CD CBS (Holland), 1963. Used ... Out Of Stock
A wonderful live set from the Seven Steps-era Miles group – with rhythm by Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams – and tunes that are all in that transformative mode that really showed Miles hitting a new voice at the time! Tenorist George Coleman's playing with the group on ... read more CD
Miles Davis —
Miles In Tokyo – Live In Concert (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD CBS/Sony (Japan), 1964. Used Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

Miles Davis —
Sketches Of Spain ... CD CBS, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock
A beautiful collaboration between Miles Davis and the great Gil Evans – and perhaps the most perfectly realized of all their projects! The album's got a wonderfully unified feel – as it begins with long compositions that have a distinct Spanish-tinge (and not a Latin-tinge, which is an ... read more CD
(Artwork has light age spots.)
CBS (Holland), 1958. Used ... $6.99
A lost Duke Ellington gem from the late 50s – a session that has a decidedly different look than some of his other records of the time! We don't know if the Duke was into Sun Ra – but it almost seems like he was copping his thunder with this title and band name – a fair bit more ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Bill Evans —
Montreux II ... CD CBS, 1970. Used ... Out Of Stock
A brilliant return to Montreux from Bill Evans – working here with a trio that includes some killer bass work by Eddie Gomez! The set's an acoustic one – despite its appearance on electric powerhouse CTI – but Evans' work on the piano has an electricity that's all its own, ... read more CD
Joe Farrell —
Joe Farrell Quartet ... CD CTI/CBS, 1970. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of Joe Farrell's first LPs as a leader – and a stellar session that's easily one of the early high points for the legendary CTI label! Farrell had been making some great noise in the underground during the late 60s – but here, he bursts forth as one heck of a soulful cat – ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Herbie Hancock —
Herbie Hancock Trio (1977) ... CD CBS (Japan), 1977. Used ... Out Of Stock
An unusual 70s album from Herbie Hancock – first in that it was only issued in Japan at the time, and second in that it was an all-acoustic set that came out at a time when Herbie was mostly working in an electric mode! Yet that previous work definitely informs the sound here – as ... read more CD
Herbie Hancock —
Piano (Japanese pressing) ... CD CBS/Sony (Japan), 1979. Used ... Out Of Stock
A rare one from Herbie Hancock – with a very unique sound for the time! The set was recorded in Tokyo, and only issued for the Japanese market – and it features Herbie playing solo acoustic piano, working in a very warm intimate setting that's quite different from his more electric ... read more CD

Silver's Blue ... CD CBS/Portrait, 1956. Used ... Out Of Stock
Killer early work from Horace Silver – and a rare non-Blue Note session from the 50s! The album's Horace's only date for Columbia, and it's got a feel that's similar to some of the Jazz Messengers' hardbop recordings for the label at the time – cooking with a soulful intensity at the ... read more CD
CBS, 1986. Used ... $6.99 9.99
A smooth groovers from the mid 80s by Lonnie Liston Smith – a lot better than you might think for the time! Though this side's a set that leans a bit more towards being a straight jazz effort than some of Smith's more cosmic recordings of earlier years, it's got a sweet mellow feel – ... read more CD
(Out of print and sealed with a small cutout hole through the case spine.)
James Blood Ulmer —
Odyssey ... CD CBS/Sony, 1983. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of our favorite Ulmer records, probably because there's a nice groove running underneath most of the numbers, in a sort of post-Prime Time 80s out-funk sort of way. It never drops into a flat out back beat, but there's always some sense of time, while Ulmer's guitar and Charles Burnham's ... read more CD

Weather Report at the height of their 70s fame – captured live in a double-length set, very much the practice for jazz superstars of the time! The format is familiar – but the liveness gives the album a slightly different feel than their studio sets – a sound that echoes out ... read more CD
(Columbia Jazz Contemporary Masters pressing.)

Heavy Weather ... CD CBS, 1977. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the biggest hits ever for Weather Report – thanks to Joe Zawinul's leadoff track "Birdland" – one of those tunes that entered the canon immediately, and saw countless covers pop up over the years – kind of a rare thing for a jazz tune at this point in time! The ... read more CD

Weather Report Live In Tokyo (Japanese pressing) ... CD CBS (Japan), 1972. Used 2CD ... Out Of Stock
