Buddy Childers —
Sam Songs/
Liberty/Fresh Sound (Spain), 1955/1956. Used ... Out Of Stock
A great look at west coast trumpeter Buddy Childers – a player who's name frequently shows up in larger group sessions of the 50s, but who rarely ever recorded as a leader at the time! The package brings together both of Childers' albums for Liberty – Sam Songs, recorded in 1955 with a ... read more CD

Sonny Criss Plays Cole Porter ... CD Liberty (Japan), 1956. Used ... Out Of Stock
Sonny Criss plays Cole Porter – and the results are way greater than the sum of the parts – even though those parts are already pretty darn great! Criss' alto sax has a superb tone at this time – razor-sharp, and nicely crisp – yet still filled with warmth that sets it ... read more CD

Midnight Creeper (Applause edition) ... CD Liberty/Applause, 1968. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A really formative album – not just as part of the key second chapter of alto genius Lou Donaldson, but also as the start of a huge generation of jazz funk grooves to come!

Introducing Jane Fielding ... LP Jazz West, 1955. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Freddie Hubbard —
Mistral ... LP East Wind/Liberty, 1981. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An overlooked gem from Freddie Hubbard – a late fusion outing, done for the Japanese market at a time when most of his American work was returning to more acoustic modes!

Liberty/Cinedelic (Italy), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 34.99
A great and groovy early album from Volker Kriegel – the German guitarist who'd cut some very trippy work for the MPS label in the 70s – but a player who steps out here in a sweet soul jazz mode at the end of the 60s! Volker's still got the same wickedly sharp style on guitar you'd ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ronnie Laws —
Solid Ground ... LP Liberty, 1981. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Sweetly soulful grooves from the great Ronnie Laws – and proof that even in his smoother years, Ronnie still had plenty of room for jazz in the mix!

Bobby Troup —
Do Re Mi ... LP Liberty, 1958. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
We love Bobby Troup, and we love records like this that show what a lost link he was in styles of male jazz vocal singing that keep turning up with singers like Harry Connick Jr and some of his contemporaries!
