Mainstream/Mobile Fidelity, Mid 60s. Used ... $19.99
Maynard Ferguson cut an undue number of excellent records in his early years – and this smoking set is definitely part of that group! At the time, Maynard was one of the few cats trying to find a way to move the larger band forward in jazz – finding ways to groove like Basie, but also ... read more CD

Frank Foster —
Loud Minority ... CD Mainstream/BGP (UK), 1971. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the most amazing albums ever from Frank Foster – a totally righteous set that's light years ahead of his earlier work with the Basie Band! The format here is right up there with the best on Strata East at the time – a large-group session that's filled with some of the hippest ... read more CD
Helen Merrill —
Artistry Of Helen Merrill ... CD Mainstream/Solid (Japan), 1964. Used ... Out Of Stock
A really fantastic album from singer Helen Merrill – and quite an obscure one as well! The set was recorded after Helen's initial burst to fame on the Mercury label in the 50s – and has her taking on a more laidback, more open-minded approach here in a very hip setting that includes a ...

(Sealed 2017 Japanese pressing.)
Blue Mitchell —
Blue Mitchell ... CD Mainstream/Boplicity (UK), Early 70s. Used ... Out Of Stock
A key 70s album from Blue Mitchell – and a set that's perfectly balanced between the lyricism of his mid 60s sides for Blue Note, and the electric funk of later years! The tracks are long, and have a really great vibe – plenty of room for Mitchell's sweet trumpet in the lead, with ... read more CD
(Out of print, cover of digipak case has some wear and is priced accordingly.)
Bud Powell —
Ups & Downs ... CD Mainstream/Jazz Heritage, Mid 60s. Used ... Out Of Stock
Some of the last recordings we've ever seen from bop legend Bud Powell – a mix of solo and trio material that still shows the pianist bursting with imagination! The origin of the tracks is a bit obscure – they're listed on the original album as "compiled by Experience Group ... read more CD
Max Roach & Clifford Brown —
Daahoud (Original Master Recording) ... CD Mainstream/Mobile Fidelity, 1956. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Previously unreleased work from the legendary group of Clifford Brown and Max Roach – recorded back in the 50s, when Mainstream producer Bob Shad was working on the Brown/Roach dates for Mercury – but not issued until this set in the 70s, when Shad had his own label! The music here is ... read more CD
(Out of print, please note that the booklet has ages spots and is priced accordingly.)
Clark Terry & Bob Brookmeyer —
Gingerbread (aka Gingerbread Men) ... CD Mainstream, Mid 60s. Used ... Out Of Stock
The team of Clark Terry & Bob Brookmeyer shouldn't work so well together – but on 60s classics like this they really gel together nicely – and although Terry's always been an optimist, and Brookmeyer's had a history as a modernist, the pair cut some great records together! This set' ... read more CD
Clark Terry/Mainstream, Mid 60s. Used ... Out Of Stock
Wonderful work from one of Clark Terry's best periods – and the kind of stripped-down swinging 60s set that really lets him show his most soulful side! The group features Terry on both trumpet and flugelhorn – working in co-leadership with Bob Brookmeyer on trombone – supported ... read more CD
Sarah Vaughan —
Sarah Vaughan & The Jimmy Rowles Quintet ... CD Mainstream/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1974. Used ... Out Of Stock
A fantastic 70s album from the great Sarah Vaughan – maybe one of her best small combo sessions of the decade – and a set that also makes room for some great instrumental contributions too! As you'd guess from the title, the group features the great Jimmy Rowles on piano – having ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more CD
(2017 Japanese pressing, with obi.)
Pete Yellin —
It's The Right Thing ... CD Mainstream/Solid (Japan), 1973. Used ... Out Of Stock
Sweet 70s work from saxophonist Pete Yellin – a set that's almost as noteworthy for its electric piano lines by Hal Galper as it is for Yellin's solos on alto and flute! Galper's warm keys really help add a lot to the session – bringing in a slightly righteous tone, even when tunes are ... read more CD
