Louis Armstrong —
Satchmo At Pasadena ... LP Decca, 1951. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A cool California concert from Louis Armstrong – surprisingly intimate, despite the setting – and recorded with a less-polished feel than some of his other 50s live dates!

Sweet Smell Of Success ... LP Decca, 1957. Good ... Out Of Stock
The full orchestral version of the Sweet Smell Of Success soundtrack – but done in a style that's almost as jazzy and swinging as the small combo one!

Decca, 1955. Very Good+ ... $9.99
One of the greatest jazz soundtracks of all time!

Ella Fitzgearld —
Songs In A Mellow Mood ... LP Decca, 1954. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Peggy Lee —
Black Coffee With Peggy Lee ... LP Decca, 1953. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Wonderfully spare early jazz sides by Peggy, and the kind of material that's not easy to find amidst the bulk of her pop-oriented work. The album's a moving set of ballads and torchy numbers, recorded in small-combo fashion, in a style that's similar to some of Chris Connor's later Bethlehem work. ...

Carmen McRae —
Blue Moon ... LP Decca, 1956. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Some of the hippest early work ever cut by Carmen McRae – with backings by Tadd Dameron and Jimmy Mundy, and a great selection of songs that brings out all the sophistication in Carmen's style, yet stays away from overly-done standards and love numbers. The set's a perfect example of how ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Carmen McRae —
By Special Request ... LP Decca, 1955. Very Good ... $9.99
A cool session for Decca that has Carmen McRae's vocals flowing out wonderfully amidst some very haunting backings!

Carmen McRae —
Carmen For Cool Ones ... LP Decca, 1958. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Hip early work from Carmen McCrae – with jazzy arrangements by Fred Katz, featuring mostly west coast players running through some off-kilter backings that give Carmen a different sound than usual.

Decca (UK), 1965. Very Good+ ... $19.99 24.99
Lovely lovely work from Dudley Moore – known to most as a comedic actor, but also a heck of a jazz pianist, and head of his own groovy trio during the 60s!

Decca, 1967. Very Good ... $7.99
Excellent work from this soulful piano combo – a group who were a lot like the Three Sounds, but who added in extra percussion on congas and bongos from the great Percy France!
