Gato Barbieri —
Last Tango In Paris ... LP United Artists, 1972. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the greatest moments ever from saxophonist Gato Barbieri – and that's saying a lot, given that by the time of this recording, he'd already had a great 60s run as an avant jazz musician, and started the 70s with a string of albums that criss-crossed jazz and South American musical ...

United Artists, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $6.99
An excellent gimmick from the United Artists label – a way of mixing their strong run of 60s soundtrack hits with the world of jazz – thanks to Count Basie and his group taking on a whole host of themes from the successful James Bond films! Count Basie brings a soulful swing to the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Back cover has a small stain and the paste-on is unglued on the top seam.)

Shirley Bassey Greatest Hits ... LP United Artists, 1976. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers —
Three Blind Mice ... LP United Artists, 1962. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A really unusual live set from the great Art Blakey – his only album for the United Artists label, but one that continues the tradition of the expanded group style he was starting to use at Blue Note! The lineup here is a sextet, one that's got even more power than the Jazz Messengers as a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono grey label pressing. Cover is nice!)
Benny Carter —
Sax A La Carter ... LP United Artists, 1960. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A bracingly simple album from Benny Carter – one recorded with small group west coast backing, in a style that really lets us focus on his wonderful tone! The set's one of Carter's most obscure from later years – a 1960 session recorded with Jimmy Rowles on piano, Leroy Vinnegar on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono black label pressing. Cover has some surface and edge wear, light aging, a small piece of green tape at the spine, and some sticker remnants in back.)
John Coltrane —
Coltrane Time ... LP United Artists, 1958. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A legendary album from a legendary moment in jazz – and one that's got a very unique lineup, given that the young tenor genius John Coltrane meets up here with the brilliant piano of Cecil Taylor! The pair were both very influential in the farther reaches of jazz, yet in very different ways ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
John Coltrane —
Coltrane Time (Douglas Collection) ... LP United Artists, 1958. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

(Early 70s issue. Cover has light wear.)
Jorge Dalto —
Chevere ... LP United Artists, 1976. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Killer fusion from keyboardist Jorge Dalto – who plays some especially great Fender Rhodes on the album, plus a bit of moog and Arp as well! The album's got a warm sound that never lets the keys get too spacey – a slight Latin undercurrent in the rhythms, and the album's slight vocals ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has minimal wear and looks nice overall.)
Blue Note/United Artists, Early 50s. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $19.99
A strange 2LP set – put together in 1971, with a cover and a gatefold format that makes it look like current electric Miles on Columbia, but a track list that features Miles early 50s recordings for Blue Note! The tracks were all recorded by Rudy Van Gelder – and the sessions feature ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original tan label pressing. Cover has a cut corner, ring and edge wear, small seam splits, light stains in back, and is bent a bit at the corners. Booklet is intact.)
Kenny Dorham —
Matador ... LP United Artists, 1962. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A brilliant album from trumpeter Kenny Dorham – a set that's maybe a bit less-known than some of his records for Blue Note, but a set that shares a lot with those classics – as it's got that similar mix of larger compositional structures and more open solo moments! Kenny's own playing ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese King pressing, with insert, GXC 3138 – a beautiful copy!)
United Artists, 1971. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $4.99

(Cover has light ring & edge wear, and a cut corner.)
Duke Ellington/United Artists, 1962. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Rarely are such "meeting of the minds" sessions worth any fuss at all – but in this case, the masterful talents of the players turn what should be a snoozy "common denominator" session into a modernist classic that still crackles with excitement after all these years! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original mono pressing, with ear, in textured cover – a nice copy! Cover has some light wear in one corner, but is very nice overall.)

The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Duke Ellington/United Artists, 1961. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
We've always loved Duke Ellington's soundtracks, and this is one of his best! The score is a moody introspective one, written for a 1961 film that starred Paul Newman as a frustrated jazz musician living in Paris. The "Paris Blues" theme is a dark, somber composition that is supposedly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Embryo —
Embryo's Rache ... LP United Artists/Loneos Editions (Netherlands), 1971. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Early prog jazz genius from the mighty Embryo – and an album that perfectly fuses their love of world rhythms and electric jamming grooves – at a level that made them one of the coolest groups on the European scene at the time! Core work here is by a trio – and the percussion by ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bill Evans & Jim Hall —
Undercurrent ... LP United Artists, 1962. Very Good- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A legendary set from the team of guitarist Jim Hall and pianist Bill Evans – both already wonderful players on their own, but really hitting a magical sort of space here together! The record is a classic in understatement – the inevitable meeting of two players who'd both made a career ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

United Artists, 1959. Very Good+ ... $24.99
A rare Latin outing from trumpeter Art Farmer – one that has him working with the mighty Cuban arranger Chico O'Farrill! The grooves here are hardly "Aztec", as Chico brings a hip postwar vibe to the session – a blend of American jazz and Latin rhythms that's totally great, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono red label pressing with deep groove. Cover has half split seams, light wear and aging, some price sticker remnants, and some light stains in back.)

(Black label pressing, with a deep groove. Vinyl is nice and clean, but has a click for about three minutes on side two.)
Art Farmer —
Modern Art ... LP United Artists, 1958. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A seminal session as a leader by the young Art Farmer – recorded for United Artists, and a great set of tight lyrical tunes, played by Farmer in his sparkling style – in a group along with Benny Golson on tenor and Bill Evans on piano. Evans is a special treat here, as the 1958 session ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Bud Freeman —
Something Tender ... LP United Artists, 1962. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A spare set of duets between Freeman and duo of guitarists – George Barnes and Carl Cress. As such, it's got a much more relaxed approach than any of Freeman's other albums, and its open-ended sound really lets you hear what a talent he was on tenor. Tracks are short, but they're filled ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing in the textured cover.)
Monk Higgins —
Heavyweight ... LP United Artists, 1972. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Quite possibly the best album ever from funky maestro Monk Higgins! The record's got some of his tighest work of the time – with plenty of tight breaks, nice keyboards, and soulful sax riffs – and Monk is going full-out on the arrangements, in the manner that he used for his best late ... (Soul, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing! Cover has a small cut corner, but this is a nice copy.)
Monk Higgins —
Little Mama ... LP United Artists, 1972. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
An excellent batch of soulful and funky instrumental tracks – super-dope 70s work from funky arranger Monk Higgins!

(Original pressing. Cover has a cut corner, light ringwear, some edge wear, and is bent a bit at the spine.)
Milt Jackson —
Bags' Opus ... LP United Artists, 1959. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the greatest Milt Jackson albums ever – thanks to an incredible lineup that features Art Farmer on trumpet and Benny Golson on tenor – both of whom give the record a lot more edge than usual for Jackson! The set's almost a maturation of the earliest modern grooves that Milt ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese King Pressing – GXC 3135. Includes insert. Cover has staining and ringwear.)

King Pleasure —
Moody's Mood For Love ... LP United Artists, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
The set was recorded after King's earlier sides for the Prestige and HiFi jazz labels, but it's in a very similar style, with some wonderful vocalese-ing done in Pleasure's landmark style. He's really one of the greatest jazz singers of the 20th century, and it's unfortunate that apart from the ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
King Pleasure —
Mr Jazz (Solid State) ... LP United Artists, 1962. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Despite the fact that he's one of the most influential jazz singers of all time (and certainly one with the biggest hit, as the original recording of "I'm In the Mood For Love" probably sold more copies than most other vocalese recordings combined), King Pleasure only ever cut three full ...

Ronnie Laws —
Flame ... LP United Artists, 1978. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Ronnie Laws at the top of his early game – working in a tight mix of jazz and soul put together with some great help from Wayne Henderson's At Home Productions – very much in the hit style that team was putting out at the time! The work's surprisingly open and hip compared to efforts ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Booker Little —
Booker Little 4 & Max Roach ... LP United Artists, 1958. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
The legendary trumpeter Booker Little – paired here with drummer Max Roach, who was frequently Book's leader at the time!

Galt MacDermot —
First Natural Hair Band ... LP United Artists, 1970. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the grooviest albums by the guy who did so many groovy versions of the score to his own hit musical. This one's got the famous "Ripped Open by Metal Explosions" sample, plus some other great stuff that wasn't in Hair. Very groovy, choppy, and groovy/funky stuff here – and a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Charles Mingus —
Town Hall Concert (United Artists) ... LP United Artists, 1962. Sealed ... Out Of Stock

United Artists, 1958. Very Good ... $2.99 4.99
This is the small combo recording of tracks from the legendary jazz score to I Want To Live!

(Mono red label Microgroove pressing. Cover has surface wear.)
United Artists, 1962. Very Good ... $23.99
A confusing title, but a wonderful little record! The album's as much a Herbie Mann Latin session as it is a record by Johnny Rae – which is probably why the album's titled as such – and the group on the set features Rae on vibes, Herbie on flute, Jack Six on bass, Philly Joe Jones on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
