Paco De Lucia —
En Vivo Desde Teatro Real ... LP Philips (Spain), 1974. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Dig Doldinger ... LP Philips, 1963. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Although he sucked monumentally during the 70s, when he was blowing his head off with his group Passport, Klaus Doldinger was actually a damn good soul jazz tenorist during the 60s – and he cut some great groovy LPs that were issued in the US, like this one from 1963.

(Mono black label pressing with deep groove. Cover has a cutout hole.)
Philips (Netherlands), 1963. Very Good+ ... $49.99
A fantastic set from the young tenorist Klaus Doldinger – hardly jazz made in Germany, as the whole thing has a smoking soul jazz quality to rival the best on Prestige Records at the time! Klaus plays tenor throughout – in a fantastic combo that features Hammond organ from the great ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Dutch stereo pressing – a great copy! Back cover has some very light aging, but this is an excellent copy overall.)
Festival Big Band (Jerry Van Rooyen) —
Explosive! ... LP Philips (Germany), 1971. Very Good Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A killer batch of large ensemble numbers – very much in the mode of the Clarke-Boland Big Band, or some of the other groups on MPS at the time!

Philips, 1963. Very Good+ ... $9.99

New Wave ... LP Philips, 1962. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A lost bossa jazz classic from Dizzy Gillespie – recorded at a time when Lalo Schifrin was working in his combo!

Also available New Wave ... CD 16.99
Philips (Japan), 1977. Near Mint- ... $33.99

Gerry Mulligan —
Night Lights ... LP Philips, 1963. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A masterpiece from Gerry Mulligan – and one of those key 60s albums that marks such a huge shift in his sound from the 50s!
