Buddy DeFranco —
Buddy DeFranco Takes You To The Stars (10 inch LP) ... LP 
GNP, Early 50s. Good ... Out Of Stock
A really rare quartet date, on a par with Buddy's work for Verve and MGM – with Kenny Drew on piano, Eugene Wright on bass, and Art Blakey on drums! LP, Vinyl record album
GNP, 1948. Near Mint- ... $11.99
A legendary bit of cubop! Diz is playing here with the band that virtually invented Latin Jazz – the one that featured Chano Pozo on conga, plus great soloists like James Moody and Ernie Henry – all blowing beautifully in a style that's one of the most perfect realizations of the cubop ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Light blue label pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear and is bent a bit at the corners.)

Earl Hines (Vintage Series) ... LP GNP, 1950. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
... LP, Vinyl record album
Milt Jackson —
Wizard Of The Vibes (GNP) ... LP GNP, 1954. Sealed ... Out Of Stock
Milt Jackson and JJ Johnson – working here together on 1954 session cut in New York – but some of which features contributions from the famous French pianist Henri Renaud! At this point in their career, Jackson and Johnson had a very similar modern swing – and the record makes ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Frank Morgan —
Frank Morgan ... LP GNP, Mid 50s. Sealed ... Out Of Stock
Seminal session that was virtually one of the only west coast attempts to replicate the famous "cubop" mix of bebop and Latin that had been evolving over the years in the New York scene. Machito percussionists like Jose Mangual and Ubaldo Nieto join a west coast group that includes alto ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 70s stereo pressing, still sealed with a sticker spot and a small hole in front.)
Gerry Mulligan Quartet —
Gene Norman Presents The Gerry Mulligan Quartet Vol 3 (10-inch) ... LP GNP, 1954. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Very cool combo work from Gerry Mulligan – and very much in the Pacific Jazz style of the time, given that Chet Baker is in the group on trumpet! There's no piano at all – just Carson Smith on bass and Larry Bunker on drums – and Mulligan is already at his modern best! LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing – nice and clean! Cover has light wear in one corner, but no splits and is otherwise very nice.)
Lyle Murphy —
New Orbits In Sound ... LP GNP, 1959. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An obscure west coast set – featuring some very hard-driving big band arrangements, short but with breakout solos that really keep things moving along at a good pace. Murphy wrote and arranged most of the material – cool little offbeat tunes, many with a space theme to match the cover ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Dave Pell's Prez Conference with Joe Williams —
Prez & Joe – In Celebration Of Lester Young ... LP GNP, 1979. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Django Reinhardt on guitar and Stephane Grappelli on violin. CD
Max Roach & Clifford Brown —
Best Of Max Roach & Clifford Brown In Concert ... CD GNP (Japan), 1954. Used ... Out Of Stock
It's hard to overstate the influence of Max Roach and Clifford Brown on the west coast scene of the 50s – as the two players helped draw out the bop sound of LA that was quickly getting lost in the cool jazz shuffle of the time, and gave it a strength and focus that not only made the group ... read more CD
(Includes obi. Booklet has light aging.)
George Shearing —
On The Sunny Side Of The Strip ... CD Capitol/GNP, 1958. Used ... Out Of Stock
Sunny and swinging – an overlooked Capitol Records treasure from George Shearing – and one with a group that really helped set the sound of groovy jazz in the 60s! The players here are all wonderful – Emil Richards on vibes, Toots Thielemans on guitar, and Al McKibbon on bass ... read more CD
Jack Sheldon —
Jack Sheldon & His All Stars ... CD GNP, 1957. Used ... Out Of Stock
Really great work from trumpeter Jack Sheldon – a bigger band record that doesn't suppress his horn, and which instead really gives him a tight energy that he doesn't always have on other records! Sheldon's playing here with a pretty nice group of players – including Billy Root, who ... read more CD

A great set of tracks that features Wayne's early work as a leader – all recorded for the Vee Jay label, either under his name, or with the Young Lions group.

A perfect example of why the Charlie Ventura group was one of the most popular live acts on the west coast scene of it's day!
