Ornette Coleman —
Who's Crazy? ... CD Freedom/Tokuma (Japan), 1965. Used 2 CDs ... Just Sold Out!
Reissue of this hard to get album, originally issued as two separate LPs, on the small French IRI imprint. Excellent work from Ornette – recorded in Paris in 1966 for the film Who's Crazy, featuring him on alto, violin, and trumpet – with a wonderfully playful feel thoroughout, plus ... read more CD

Esoteric Circle —
George Russell Presents The Esoteric Circle ... CD Freedom/BGP (UK), 1971. Used ... Out Of Stock
Groundbreaking sounds from the Norwegian scene of the late 60s – an album that's got George Russell's name on the cover, but which actually features brilliant performances from a quartet who'd go onto become huge names in the ECM scene of the 70s! Yet the sound here is quite different than ... read more CD

Julius Hemphill —
Coon Bid'ness ... CD Freedom (UK), 1972/1975. Used ... Out Of Stock
2 different sessions by Julius Hemphill – one from 1975, with Arthur Blythe, Hamiet Bluiett, and Abdul Wadud; the other from 1972, with Bluiett, Wadud, and Baikida Carroll. The 1972 session's a bit more interesting, and was recorded in St. Louis by Oliver Sain (of all people!). It's one ... read more CD
Julius Hemphill (Mbari) —
Dogon AD (with bonus track) (LP sleeve edition) ... CD Freedom/International Phonograph, 1972/1977. Used Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A seminal session from the St Louis scene of the early 70s – one that was humming nearly as much as Chicago was with the AACM at the time! As with the larger organization in the Windy City, St Louis had the Black Artists Group – of which Julius Hemphill was a key member, forming fresh ... read more CD

Andrew Hill —
Spiral ... CD Freedom (Germany), 1975. Used ... Out Of Stock
Really beautiful 70s work from pianist Andrew Hill – one of his few sessions from this part of the decade to feature a larger set of players – some really wonderful guests that make some real magic with Hill's brilliant compositions! At the start of the 70s, Andrew had announced a back ... read more CD

Cecil Taylor —
Indent ... CD Freedom (Germany), 1973. Used ... Out Of Stock
A beautiful solo piano set by Cecil Taylor – recorded live in Ohio in 1973, and originally released on his own small Unit Core label. The work is a perfect example of how Cecil was stretching himself at the time – working in a mode that was part free jazz, part 70s spiritualism, ... read more CD

Cecil Taylor —
Live At The Cafe Montmartre (2CD set) ... CD Freedom/Tokuma (Japan), 1962/1997. Used 2CDs ... Just Sold Out!
Seminal material from Cecil Taylor – an explosive album that was one of the first to show the world just how much his style had evolved since the late 50s! When Taylor first showed up on the scene, he was already a pianist that was going farther out than just about anyone – but by the ... read more CD

Cecil Taylor —
Nefertiti The Beautiful One Has Come (Live At The Cafe Montmartre) ... CD Arista/Freedom/Revenant, 1962. Used 2 CDs ... Out Of Stock
Excellent Revenant reissue that brings together the full set from Cecil's 1962 performance at Cafe Monmartre. He's playing here in a trio that has Jimmy Lyons on alto and Sonny Murray on drums, and the music's a key link between his later seventies stuff, and his earlier work that you can find on ... read more CD

Richard Teitelbaum with Anthony Braxton —
Time Zones ... CD Freedom, 1976. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of Anthony Braxton's most compelling albums of the 70s – a series of sonic explorations recorded with electronic music artist Richard Teitelbaum – whose work on a variety of moog synthesizers makes for a very groundbreaking accompaniment to Braxton's work on soprano, alto, and bass ... read more CD
Randy Weston —
Carnival ... CD Freedom (Germany), 1974. Used ... Out Of Stock
An unusual record for Randy Weston – a freewheeling live set recorded at Montreux in 1974, with Billy Harper joining Weston's group on tenor and flute, playing long spiritual solos that work wonderfully next to Weston's spiralling piano lines! Harper's searching quality really opens up the ... read more CD
