Softly With Feeling (aka Wilder N Wilder) ... LP Savoy, 1956. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the best dates ever as a leader from trumpeter Joe Wilder – and one of the few to have a really relaxed, open sort of format!

New Advanced Jazz ... LP Savoy, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
An obscure, but very moving session by this little-known pianist from the 60's.

Kai Winding/Savoy, Late 40s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A nice selection of late 40s work by a few groups, collected by Savoy as a kind of introduction to the bebop movement, a look back at the early days of bop.

Bebop Boys ... LP Savoy, Late 40s/Early 50s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
