... LP, Vinyl record album
(Red vinyl pressing, in the cover with blue illustration. Cover has light surface wear and taped seams.)
Prestige/New Jazz, Late 50s. Very Good ... $19.99
Fantastic early work from Gil Evans – emerging here in this early session as an already far-thinking modernist. The tracks are shorter and less ambitious than some of Evans' work on Impulse, but the group is excellent – and even in a shorter format, the conception of the work still ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Blue Note, Late 50s. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $9.99
Blue Note 2-fer that brings together some of Gil Evans' great modernist jazz pieces for the World Pacific label.

Atlantic, 1973. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A great example of the way that Gil Evans really opened up his groove in the 70s – moving here way way past the cool jazz and third stream of earlier years – into a soulful style that's far groovier than might be expected! Part of the strength of the set is because of the players ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

RCA/Bluebird, 1976. Used ... $7.99
A pretty great 70s album from Gil Evans – a set that's got some great use of electric instrumentation, and a mighty groove on the best cuts! The overall approach is different than the early modernist sound of Gil Evans, but still very striking – a 70s equivalent to Gil's famous 60s ... read more CD

Spacious fusion from Extra Ball – one of Poland's best electric jazz ensembles of the late 70s, working here in a style that's dynamic, yet not as overly jamming as some of the group's rock-influenced contemporaries on the European scene! Leader of the group Jaroslaw Smietana plays guitar ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Futura (France), 2017. New Copy ... $7.99 16.99
An interesting singer, with an approach that's definitely all her own – one that has Caroline Faber singing alongside just the guitar or Richard Bonnet and drums of Eric Dambrin – both players who can be abstract at some points, and nicely laid back at others! We like that second style ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more CD

Prestige, 1955/1969. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $9.99
2 different slices of work from Tal Farlow! First is the 1955 album Red Norvo With Strings – originally issued under Norvo's name – a "with strings" session with a difference!

Norgran, Early 50s. Very Good+ ... $79.99
A gem of an album by Farlow – and one of the rarest sessions by this groundbreaking jazz guitarist!

Farlow's tone is ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Prestige, 1969. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A great little return to form for Tal Farlow – his first recording in a decade, and a rare Prestige side that features a groovy quartet with John Scully on piano, Jack Six on bass and Alan Dawson on drums. There's a different vibe here than Tal's work for Verve – a bit more open, but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Concord, 1977. Near Mint- ... $7.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
Verve, 1956. Used ... $5.99
One of Tal's most compelling albums of the 50s – a drummer-less trio session, recorded with Eddie Costa on piano and Vinnie Burke on bass. Tal's tone is as great as always – edgily carving out some rhythms with the trio, swinging more gently than the title might imply, in a mode that ... read more CD

United Artists, 1959. Very Good ... $19.99
A rare Latin outing from trumpeter Art Farmer – one that has him working with the mighty Cuban arranger Chico O'Farrill!

(Red label pressing, with deep groove. Cover has completely split seams held together with pieces of tape, with some overall wear and aging.)
Columbia, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... $6.99
Baroque Sketches shows the wider reaching side of Art Farmer, and features him soloing over large arrangements of material that have a distinct "baroque" approach. The settings are complicated, but Farmer's deft work is more than enough to match the scene – and he responds with a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(360 Sound stereo pressing. Cover has a lightly bent corner and a Demonstration stamp on back.)
United Artists, 1959. Very Good ... $9.99
A great little album by this wonderful trumpeter – and one that we passed up for years because we were afraid of the words "brass" and "shout" in the title! If you're a Farmer fan, though, don't worry about this being some sort of snoozy "bold n brassy" session ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mercury, 1962. Very Good ... $6.99
A beautiful set of tracks that features Art Farmer soloing on flugelhorn over larger arrangements by Oliver Nelson.

One of the most magical records ever from this legendary group – a set that swings as hard and soulfully as some of their previous sessions, yet also has a sharper, more modern vibe as well! Of course, this latter aspect is no surprise – once you realize that a young Grachan Moncur is ... read more CD
Soul Note (Italy), 1983. Near Mint- ... $8.99
A wonderful later date from the Art Farmer/Benny Golson Jazztet – key proof that the ensemble continued to grow strongly long after their initial recordings in the 60s!

Jazztet & John Lewis ... CD Argo/Universal (Japan), 1960/1961. New Copy ... $13.99

The album features interpretations of Lewis' work by the great Farmer/Golson Jazztet – and is a pretty ... read more CD
Moon (Germany), 1968. Used ... $16.99
A beautiful lost chapter in the career of Art Farmer – a set from a time when Farmer was working with some slightly larger groups, in a style that had some wonderfully soulful touches!

RCA, 1957. Very Good+ ... $8.99

Clean Feed, 2017. New Copy ... $9.99

World Pacific, 1962. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Victor Feldman plays piano and vibes on this trio set of tracks from the score to the hit Broadway show.

Prestige, 1961. Very Good- ... $9.99
Great work from one of the most under-rated tenor players of the 60s! Jimmy Forrest was an excellent player who made only a handful of recordings at the time – but he blows with a deep confidence that should have made him one of the biggest new stars on the scene. This set's one of Jimmy's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dobre/Shout (Japan), Early 70s. New Copy ... $22.99
One of the greatest albums of Hammond jazz ever recorded – and a darn funky one at that! Bobby Forrester may not look like a hipster on the cover, but this set grooves like some of the best early 70s work by Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff, and Groove Holmes – hitting hard with some really ... read more CD
Atlantic, 1977. Near Mint- ... $6.99
A great one from Sonny Fortune – done with the fusiony sound he was working so well with at the time, and still filled with a tight conception and an incredible group of musicians who bring depth and deliver some really great solos! The title track is an incredible 10 minute cut that breaks ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Waves Of Dreams ... LP A&M/Horizon, 1976. Very Good Gatefold ... $1.99
A really wonderful album by Sonny Fortune – recorded for a major label, sure, but with the soulful depth of some of his earlier work for the indies! Sonny's on alto, flute, and soprano sax – and also plays a bit of percussion and some slight mini moog – not too much, as the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Cache Cache (UK), Late 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99
One of the strangest collaborations of the post-punk years in England – a one-off project that unites reedman Lol Coxhill with Gerry & The Holograms – an offbeat combo who were perfect for the odd range of ideas that Coxhill always wanted to express! Lol's best known these days for ... (Rock, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Jazz Eyes (Italy), 2007. Used ... $6.99
Wonderful work from drummer Al Foster – a musician who's been making wonderful work for many decades, but hardly ever gets the chance to record as a leader! We've really loved all of Al's record dates over the years, and this record really lives up to our expectations – a subtle, ... read more CD
