Cannonball Adderley — Cannonball Adderley Quintet At The Lighthouse ... LP

Riverside, 1960. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!

Fantastic work from the Cannonball Adderley Quintet – one of their greatest performances from the seminal early 60s years! The band at this time includes Cannon on alto, Nat on cornet, Victor Feldman on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums – and although Feldman's not as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Stereo black label pressing, with microphone logo, silver text, and deep groove. Vinyl has oxidation and plays with light surface noise. Cover has initials in marker. The back cover has 4 corner peel spots from tape removal.)

Nat Adderley — Naturally! ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1961. Used ... $8.99

A strong showcase for young Nat Adderley's talents on cornet – and an album that's got a different feel that his work with his more famous brother's combo at the same time! The style here is simple – Nat blowing with 2 different quartets – one with Joe Zawinul on piano, Sam Jones ... read more CD

(Out of print.)

Joe Alexander — Blue Jubilee ... LP

Jazzland, 1960. Very Good ... Out Of Stock

A soul jazz masterpiece – and one of the rarest albums on the Jazzland label! Tenorist Joe Alexander has a mean, raw tone on the set – clearly influenced by the early 60s soul jazz generation, but also with some nicely off-beat tones that give him a really unique feel. He's backed ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Atomic — Feet Music ... CD

Jazzland/Universal (UK), 2002. Used ... Out Of Stock

The most truly jazz-based group on Norway's hip Jazzland label – a quintet of players that know how to push an avant garde solo into a groove, and vice versa! The album's free-thinking and quite striking – as some tracks crackle with the energy of an early Mingus record, filtered ... (New Grooves, Jazz) read more CD

(Out of print.)

Atomic — Here Comes Everybody ... CD

Jazzland (Norway), 2012. Used ... Out Of Stock

Quite possibly the greatest album to date from Atomic – a set that steps out with a bold, rich sound right from the start – giving the whole thing the feel of some lost classic slice of avant jazz, but with a freshness that definitely marks the set with plenty of Atomic energy too! The ... read more CD

Atomic — Lucidity ... CD

Jazzland (Norway), 2015. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

The title's a great one, as the album may well be the clearest musical vision we've heard from Atomic so far – a wonderful record that has the group at a level that's slightly more tuneful and straightforward, but all without losing any of their previous edge! There's still some key free ... read more CD

Atomic — Retrograde (3CD box set) ... CD

Jazzland (Norway), 2007/2008. Used 3CD ... Out Of Stock

An incredible 3CD set from Atomic – the increasingly amazing group of Scandinavian scene firebrands Fredrik Ljungkvist on reeds, Mangus Broo on trumpet, Havard Wiik on piano, Ingegbrigt Haker Flaten on bass and Paal Nilssen-Love on drums & percussion – who separately, and as a unit ... read more CD

(In nice shape!)

Atomic — Theater Tilters Vols 1 & 2 ... CD

Jazzland (Norway), 2010. Used 2 CDs ... Out Of Stock

Bold, brilliant work from Atomic – some of their most striking material ever, and surely a performance that must have tilted the theater they recorded it in! The live set features the group wrapped together tighter than ever – mixing free improv energy with a deeper sensitivity to ... read more CD

Chet Baker — Chet Baker With Fifty Italian Strings (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD

Jazzland/Riverside (Japan), 1959. Used ... Out Of Stock

One of the better-known sessions from Chet's time in Italy at the end of the 50s – a really beautiful album that has Chet working with a string orchestra in a set of lush arrangements that really bring a lot to his sound! The album really sounds great – not sleepy, but warm and ... read more CD

Walter Benton — Out Of This World ... LP

Jazzland, 1960. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

One of the few sessions ever recorded by tenor player Walter Benton – a great talent with a very strong voice, coming out of a gutsier 50s era, and growing into a capable hardbop player by the time of this set. The album's got Benton playing in a quintet that features Freddie Hubbard on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Orange label Jazzland pressing with deep groove. Vinyl is great – cover has some light wear, and a small bit of tape in one corner.)

Junior Cook — Junior's Cookin' ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1961. Used ... Out Of Stock

Junior's definitely cooking on this session – working with trumpeter Blue Mitchell at a time when both players were members of the Horace Silver Quintet – but in a groove that's somewhat different than the Silver sound overall! Junior Cook's tenor really is tremendous on the record ... read more CD

(1999 OJC pressing.)

Tadd Dameron — Classics Of Modern Jazz Vol 3 – The Tadd Dameron Band ... LP

Jazzland, Late 40s/1962. Near Mint- ... $23.99

One of the few albums to feature the work of the legendary Tadd Dameron from his formative early years in bop – a time when Dameron's modernist modes were really helping to shape the sound of the scene! The groups are all pretty darn smoking, and the record features some classic work by Fats ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Orange label Jazzland pressing with deep groove.)

Eddie Lockjaw Davis & Johnny Griffin — Griff & Lock ... LP

Jazzland, 1961. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Classic tenors head-to-head – as Griff & Lock lay out one of their excellent 2 tenor classics from the early 60s! The rhythm section's deeply soulful – with Junior Mance on piano, Larry Gales on bass, and Ben Riley on drums – and the album grooves through some long blowers, a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Don Elliott — Double Trumpet Doings (aka New Counterpoint For Six Valves) ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1955. Used ... Out Of Stock

One of the most modern moments from Don Elliott in the 50s – a twin-trumpet album that's awash in counterpoint experiments of the time! Trumpeter Rusty Dedrick joins Don in the frontline – working together in tight head arrangements that have a strong chamber feel to them, but then ... read more CD

Red Garland — Solar ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1962. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

An obscure little quartet session from Red Garland – recorded with Les Spann on both guitar and flute, caught at a time when he was just starting to make waves on the New York scene! The presence of Spann gives the record a decidedly different feel than most of Garland's work on Prestige ... read more CD

(Out of print.)

Paul Gonsalves — Gettin' Together ... LP

Jazzland, 1960. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

A great small combo set from tenorist Paul Gonsalves – one of his best albums away from Duke Ellington, and a record that really opens up with his tremendous tone on the tenor! The group's a great small combo, with more of a soul jazz groove than usual for Paul – Nat Adderley on cornet ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dexter Gordon — Resurgence (aka Resugrence Of Dexter Gordon) ... LP

Jazzland/Prestige, 1960. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

An excellent album by Dexter Gordon – his first after a number of years spent without recording in the late 50s, and one that marked a real return to serious growth as a player during the 60s! The album takes the same approach as Dexter's soon to be recorded Blue Note classics – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Early 80s pressing. NOTE: Majority of cover is stained and wavy. Vinyl is nice.)

Johnny Griffin & Eddie Lockjaw Davis — Lookin At Monk ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1961. Used ... $18.99

The twin-tenor duo of Johnny Griffin and Eddie Lockjaw Davis were really on fire in the early 60s – and unlike other pairings of the time, they often brought a strong dose of modernism to their music – as you'll hear in these great interpretations of tunes by Thelonious Monk! The ... read more CD

(1998 OJC pressing.)

Joe Harriott — Free Form ... CD

Jazzland/Gott Discs (UK), 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock

Essential! This is the landmark album that forever put saxophonist Joe Harriott on the map, and it's a brilliant batch of tracks that prove that Harriott was advancing the jazz avant garde in England as much as players like Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor were advancing it in America. Despite ... read more CD

Clifford Jordan — Starting Time ... LP

Jazzland, 1961. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

A great early Clifford Jordan record, and a tight bit of jazz from this great Chicago tenor player. Another Chicago favorite, Wilbur Ware, is on bass, and a young Cedar Walton's playing piano, and with warmth like that, Jordan and trumpeter Kenny Dorham sound great next to each other. Loads of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ola Kvernberg — Night Driver ... CD

Jazzland/Universal (Norway), 2006. Used ... Out Of Stock

A beautifully bracing title from this hip Scandinavian trio – one of the best recent releases on the mighty Jazzland label – very much up to the high standards of the imprint! The group here is a slightly unusual one – a trio with violin from Ola Kvernberg, plus bass and drums ... read more CD

(Out of print.)

Harold Land — Eastward Ho – Harold Land In New York ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock

A great record – and easily one of Harold Land's best! The session brings Land in from the west coast, and records him in New York with his regular rhythm combo that included the great Amos Trice on piano, Clarence Jones on bass, and Joe Peters on drums. But, added to that quartet is the ... read more CD

Harold Land — West Coast Blues ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1960. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

One of our favorite albums ever from Harold Land, and a great set that has a hard soul jazz feel – despite the "west coast" in the title. Harold's playing with a great group that includes Barry Harris, Joe Gordon, and Sam Jones – as well as guitarist Wes Montgomery, who's ... read more CD

(Out of print.)

Johnny Lytle — Blue Vibes ... LP

Jazzland, 1960. Very Good ... Out Of Stock

Excellent grooves that mix together vibes and organ! This is one of the early albums cut by soul jazz vibist Johnny Lytle – and although it's more stripped-down than later work, it's still got a nice groove, and a feel that's quite different from work by other jazz vibes players at the time. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Junior Mance — Junior Mance Trio At The Village Vanguard ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1961. Used ... Out Of Stock

A firey little trio session from Junior Mance – one that features tracks taken at a pace that's even more uptempo than usual, and which really pushes his skills on the keys! The speed of the set is by no means a detriment to Mance's soulful playing – and if anything, the record stands ... read more CD

Junior Mance — Junior's Blues/Happy Time/Big Chief (with bonus tracks) ... CD

Riverside/Jazzland/American Jazz Classics, 1961/1962. Used 2CD ... Out Of Stock

Includes two complete Jazzland LPs, a Riverside album, and excerpts from two 1961 live radio broadcasts from Birdland in NYC! CD

Thelonious Monk — Thelonious Monk With John Coltrane ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1957/Early 60s. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

A record that documents a meeting of two giants of modern jazz in the 50s – the angular genius Thelonious Monk, and the younger John Coltrane – a tenor player who was probably better-known for his work with Miles Davis during this period! The recordings are more Monk's than Coltrane's ... read more CD

Also available Thelonious Monk With John Coltrane (20 bit remaster) ... CD 3.99

Thelonious Monk — Thelonious Monk With John Coltrane ... LP

Jazzland, 1957/Early 60s. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Wild Bill Moore — Wild Bill's Beat ... LP

Jazzland, 1961. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

A lost session from early 60s tenor titan Wild Bill Moore – an R&B inflected player who only cut a few sides on his own, all of them a unique mix of jazz with some of the more screaming R&B saxophone tendencies! This set features Bill rocking with a Latinized rhythm section – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Lee Morgan — Take Twelve ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1962. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

A rare non-Blue Note outing from Lee Morgan – and a record that's sometimes mistaken as a large group effort because of the "twelve" in the title, but which is a tight small group set that's equally cooking as some of Lee's better known records! As with the best mid 60s Blue Note ... read more CD

(OJC pressing.)

Sal Nistico — Heavyweights/Comin On Up ... CD

Jazzland/Milestone, 1961. Used ... Out Of Stock

2 early 60s sessions by tenorist Sal Nistico – a great player who spent most of his life in bigger bands, but who also knew how to shine on small group settings like these! They sure got the title right on the CD, as Sal's playing tenor in groups that feature many heavyweights, and soul jazz ... read more CD

Mel Rhyne Sextet — Organ-izing ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock

An excellent bit of soul jazz – completely rare in the original pressing, and one of the few early albums ever cut by organist Melvin Rhyne! Rhyne first came to prominence as the organist with Wes Montgomery – and he hailed from Montgomery's hometown of Indianapolis, and had the ... read more CD

Charlie Rouse — Takin Care Of Business ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock

A wonderful small group session from tenor genius Charlie Rouse – done at the time when he was first taking off with Thelonious Monk, but in a great style that's all his own!

(Out of print OJC pressing.)

George Shearing & The Montgomery Brothers — George Shearing & The Montgomery Brothers ... LP

Jazzland, 1961. Near Mint- ... $9.99

Some of jazz's most sensitive artists get together in a lyrical set of light-handed ditties. Shearing's piano is a surprisingly nice complement to the vibes/bass/guitar sound of The Montgomery Brothers – and the group is augmented by some nice Latin percussion. Tracks are short, and titles ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Mid 70s Japanese stereo pressing – SMJ-6087 – with obi & insert. NOTE – Cover is stained and slightly flaky at the bottom 3 inches, with clear tape holding the bottom seam and obi. Obi has some wrinkling in front and is held with clear tape in back.)

(Out of print OJC pressing.)

Don Sleet — All Members ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1961. Used ... Out Of Stock

The only session we've ever seen by trumpeter Don Sleet – an early 60s talent who played in the group of drummer Lennie McBrowne, and who's working here with an all-star quartet that includes Jimmy Heath on tenor, Wynton Kelly on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums! Sleet's ... read more CD

Jazzland/Victor (Japan), 1961. Used ... Out Of Stock

Les Spann — Gemini ... CD

Jazzland/OJC, 1961. Used ... Out Of Stock

One of the few albums ever cut as a leader by Les Spann – an extremely talented jazz player who worked a lot with Dizzy Gillespie in the 50s, and Quincy Jones in the 60s! Les plays both guitar and flute on the set – grooving soulfully in a mode that recalls the stylings of Frank Wess ... read more CD

Frank Strozier — Long Night ... LP

Jazzland, 1961. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

An incredible album, and one of Strozier's best! The record is an excellent example of the maturity and modernism that was coming out of the Chicago jazz scene as it hit the early 60s – and it features Strozier's soulful alto in the company of some of the city's best players, like pianist ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rene Thomas — Guitar Groove ... CD

Jazzland, 1960. Used ... $11.99

Belgian guitarist Rene Thomas was one of the few players to break out of the postwar Paris jazz scene and actually get to record in America – and on this classic set from 1960, he's grooving with a very hip group that includes JR Monterose on tenor, Hod O'Brien on piano, and the rhythm ... read more CD

(Out of print.)

Ben Webster & Joe Zawinul — Soulmates ... LP

Riverside, 1963. Very Good ... Out Of Stock

An unusual early album by Joe Zawinul – one cut at the start of his early fame with Cannonball Adderley (and years before his success in Weather Report) – but in an easygoing way that's a perfect setting for the aging Ben Webster! Joe's not funking things up the way he did with Cannon, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
