A really really wonderful little record – one that's far more than you might guess from it's slightly gimmicky title!

ECM, 1995. Used ... $11.99

A wonderfully warm session from tenor legend Booker Ervin – maybe not as experimental as some of Booker's other dates for Prestige Records in the 60s – but a really wonderful record that fully explores the deep tones of his Texas tenor, and still lets him come off with a bit of an edge! ... read more CD

Timeless/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1988. New Copy ... $9.99

Pronit/GAD (Poland), 1971. New Copy ... $9.99
Killer Hammond from Polish player Piotr Figiel – a player with a really wonderful sort of groove! The album's got a vibe that's halfway between the Hammond antics of Alan Hawkshaw and the freer lines of American jazzmen like Jimmy Smith or Charles Earland – augmented by other cool ... read more CD

Discovery, 1969/1980. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A great little album that was recorded in 1969 but not issued until 1980 – and which features material that's very much in the same spirit (the same sessions?) as Fischer's excellent Thesaurus album! The feel here is really magical – with Clare's piano floating gently over the top in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Pacific Jazz/International Phonograph, 1963. New Copy Gatefold ... $18.99 21.98

Atlantic, 1968. Near Mint- ... $7.99
An unusual session from the great Clare Fischer – although probably his best-known record as well!

Unique (Germany), 2002. Used ... $4.99
A fantastic bit of keyboard grooving – the third and best album by the Xaver Fischer Trio! The format is very simple – just classic-sounding electric keys, played in tandem with bass and drums, plus some occasional extra touches. The approach is great – kind of like a Ramsey ...

Verve, 1950s/1976. New Copy 2CD ... $19.99 21.99
A wonderful way to hear the genius of Ella Fitzgerald at its best – as the set features all tracks that just have the first lady of jazz singing alongside a piano – spare, open, and in a way that really lets you get all all the care and nuance that Ella can bring to a tune! Most of the ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more CD

Pablo, 1983. Sealed Gatefold ... $13.99
Don't be put off by the Al Hirschfeld image on the front of this one – because the record's a nicely laidback effort that gets way past the show biz cover! The sound here is extremely spare – and Ella's singing with only the piano of Andre Previn for accompaniment – possibly the ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

MPS (Germany), 1969. Near Mint- ... $29.99
Very cool, very groovy, and one of Ella Fitzgerald's hippest albums of the 60s! The set was recorded in San Francisco in the late 60s, but was issued by MPS in Germany as proof that the label always had an ear for bringing something different out of a mainstream artist. And although live, the ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
