Columbia, 1984. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $9.99
The decoy here might be in the rhythms, which are often electric, but still played live – handled by Robert Irving III on many tracks, with a cool 80s fusion sound that's mighty nice! The style of the album's a nice change from the Miles groove of the 70s – a bit leaner, with almost a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Miles Davis' last studio session before a few years of seclusion – and a really monumental effort, probably the baddest of the electric period!

Duke Ellington's Spacemen —
Cosmic Scene ... LP Columbia, 1958. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
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 LP, Vinyl record album
Don Ellis —
Autumn ... LP Columbia, 1968. Very Good+ ... 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! The group's still a bit band on most numbers – but it's one with a lean, well-craft ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Columbia, 1972. Very Good ... $1.99
Funky funky Don Ellis – a great set of electric groovers released at the same time that Don scored big with his soundtrack for The French Connection!

Don Ellis —
Don Ellis At Fillmore ... LP Columbia, 1970. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Funky madness at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium – and a searing set of tracks that rivals the best studio work from trumpeter Don Ellis!

Guitar/Columbia, 1964. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A nice early set from jazz guitar greats Herb Ellis and Charlie Byrd – who would work together much more frequently in the years to come – but sharing a rare early 60s joint set on 1964's Guitar/Guitar!

Art Farmer —
Art Farmer Quintet Plays The Great Jazz Hits ... LP Columbia, 1967. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Really great work from Art Farmer – one of a handful of records from the mid 60s that have the trumpeter picking up a slightly sharper edge than before – a nice contrast to some of his more spacious albums on labels like Argo or Atlantic! The vibe here is almost a small group take on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Art Farmer —
Baroque Sketches ... LP Columbia, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Baroque Sketches shows the wider reaching side of Art Farmer, and features him soloing over large arrangements of material that have a distinct "baroque" approach.

Art Farmer —
Time & The Place (2LP pressing) ... LP Columbia, 1967. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

Funky funky Maynard – and a sweet set of electric big band jazz that's got plenty of nice moments!

Ronnie Foster —
Delight ... LP Columbia, 1978. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A definite delight from Ronnie Foster – a post-Blue Note set that actually has the keyboardist sounding better than ever!

Columbia, 1986. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A bit late in Rodney's classic years for Columbia, but still pretty darn nice – although certainly much more of a soul album than before!

Touch Of Silk ... LP Columbia, 1980. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Smooth as silk, with plenty of soul – a classic set that has the guitar of Eric Gale produced by the legendary Allen Toussaint!

A wicked album that's one of Stan Getz's best from the 70s!
