Benny, Ben, & Barney – BBB & Co ... CD 
Swingville/Prestige/OJC, 1962. Used ... Out Of Stock
A great example of why the Swingville label was such a great idea – a perfect setting for older players to have a chance to relax in the studio and really do their thing – hitting the sort of notes they might reach in a late-nite set at a club, without all the pressures to try for a ... read more CD

Buck & Buddy ... CD Swingville/OJC, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock
Beautiful blowing from Buck Clayton and Buddy Tate – captured here in the relaxed, easy-going setting of the Swingville label!

Buck Clayton & Buddy Tate —
Buck & Buddy Blow The Blues ... CD Prestige/Swingville/OJC, 1961. Used ... $7.99
A romping little session from Buck Clayton and Buddy Tate – served up in a looser, more relaxed setting than the former's albums for Columbia, and a slightly more swing-based mode than the latter's dates for Chess! Both horn players get plenty of room to solo in the open-ended Swingville ... read more CD

Coleman Hawkins —
Coleman Hawkins All Stars ... CD Prestige/Swingville/OJC, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock
Not the sprawling session you'd usually get from a record with "all stars" in the title, and instead a tight small group record that features Coleman Hawkins at his later best! The setting is an outwardly trad one – recorded for the Swingville label with Joe Thomas on trumpet and ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Prestige/Swingville/OJC, 1959. Used ... $6.99
Exellent late work by Hawk – way darker than you'd guess! The set features Coleman Hawkins as the main soloist with the Red Garland trio, and it's got a very open-ended session that has him blowing tones and phrases that you'd never hear on his earlier albums – moody, angular, and ... read more CD
Swingville/OJC, 1960. Used ... $8.99
Beautiful late work from Coleman Hawkins – mellow genius that wins us over time and time again over the years! The set's actually a twin-tenor outing – with both Hawk and Eddie Jockjaw Davis – the latter of whom, as proved with Johnny Griffin and others, is a perfect partner for ... read more CD

Coleman Hawkins with Tiny Grimes & Ray Bryant —
Blues Groove (Jazz Classics Series) ... LP Swingville, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Nice laidback blowing session that brings together the talents of guitarist Tiny Grimes and tenorist Coleman Hawkins. Hawkins is at his gutsy best here, and really kicks in deep next to Grimes' bluesy guitar. Other players on the session include Ray Bryant and Musa Kaleem, and the tracks are all ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Budd Johnson —
Let's Swing ... CD Prestige/Swingville/OJC, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock
Let's Swing – and swing Budd does, in that wonderfully easy-going manner of his – a style that seems almost effortless at times, but which always comes across with plenty of soul! Johnson's tenor is a great fit for the style of Prestige's Swingville label – as he has plenty of ... read more CD

Al Sears —
Swing's The Thing ... CD Swingville/OJC, 1960. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A big tone and a round bottom – Al Sears could always deliver the goods in any kind of setting, but sounds especially nice in this rare small group date with a keen focus on his wonderful tenor sax! The session's one of our favorite in the short-lived Swingville offshoot of Prestige – ... read more CD
(OJC pressing.)
Buddy Tate —
Tate-A-Tate ... LP Swingville/Prestige, 1960. Sealed ... Out Of Stock
A tightly swinging set that makes wonderful use of the tenor sax of Buddy Tate – recorded in a swing-based mode that's very much in the same spirit Verve was using with players of his vintage, but in a style that's slightly rougher around the edges! The whole thing's got a nicely echoing ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
