GNP, 1967. Used ... $5.99
A pretty tasty little album from trumpeter Don Ellis – his first funky outing for Columbia Records, and a groundbreaking batch of funky big band material!

Candid (UK), 1961. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
A very unusual set by Don Ellis – and easily one of his most modern recordings ever!

Wounded Bird, 1967. New Copy 2CD ... Just Sold Out!
Excellent pre-Columbia work from trumpeter Don Ellis – a live date recorded with Tom Scott on saxes and Dave Mackay on piano – presented here in its entirety for the first time ever! The groove here is every bit as hard as on Ellis' funky classics for Columbia – but more acoustic ... read more CD
Norgran/Verve, 1956. Used ... $4.99
Herb Ellis gets a hearty helping of horns on this set – working with key performances from Jimmy Giuffre, Charlie Mariano, and Harry Edison – all of whom really round out the sound of the record!

Lonehill (Spain), 1957/1959. Used ... $8.99
We don't normally think of Herb as a bluesy player – but the title is pretty darn honest, given the great sound of this set!

Concord, 1973. Used ... $24.99
The Concord label gave guitarist Herb Ellis some of his greatest moments of the 70s – like this early cooker with guitarist Joe Pass – recorded live at the Concord Jazz Festival that gave the label its name! The 1973 performance has both players really opening up – never ... read more CD

Ray Ellis —
Ellis In Wonderland/Columbia/Collectables, 1957/1958. Used ... $8.99
Although Ray Ellis is probably best known for his sophisticated jazzy backings behind vocalists (most notably on Atlantic albums of the early and mid 60s), he's also a pretty decent jazz-based bandleader on his own – as you'll hear on these whimsical instrumental albums from the late 50s! ...

Norgran/Verve (Japan), 1954. Used ... $11.99 16.99
One of the most open-ended Tal Farlow albums for Verve – and a wonderfully laidback set that lets him open up with that incredible tone, taking the electric guitar to a whole new place in jazz, and showing that the instrument has volumes to speak in both phrasing and tone! The group's a ... read more CD
(1998 Japanese pressing.)
Prestige, 1955/1969. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $11.99
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! This one's not the sleepy orchestral jazz set that you'd expect. Instead, it's a cool modernist ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, but looks nice overall.)
Atlantic, 1964. Used ... $7.99
Beautiful work from the legendary Art Farmer – sounds from a time when the trumpeter was really coming into his own, and finding a way to carve out a special space for himself in modern jazz! The sounds here are fresh, but never overstated – blown with that compact mode that makes ... read more CD
Argo, 1961. Very Good ... $19.99
An amazingly beautiful set of tracks from Art Farmer – playing here with superb accompaniment from a young Harold Mabern on piano, in a laidback quartet format that really lets Art open up! Art's playing is fresh and creative throughout – never too over the top, and always blown with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue label stereo Argo pressing with deep groove. Cover has ringwear, edge wear, small peeled spot at the top left corner, and heavy discoloration from age in back.)
Contemporary/OJC, 1958. Used ... $9.99
A beautiful set from Art – stripped-down and elegant, cut right at that time when his tone on trumpet was evolving into something sublime. The group's a perfect one for Farmer at this point – Hank Jones, Addison Farmer, and Roy Haynes, all lyrically-minded players with just the right ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Enja/Solid (Japan), 1992. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
Never-failing genius from Art Farmer – recording here in his later years, and working in that long and open-ended mode we love so much! There's few trumpeters who could make a record like this work – but Farmer's got a tremendous ability to stretch out on longer tunes with well-crafted ... read more CD
Art Farmer —
Summer Knows ... CD East Wind/Universal (Japan), 1976. Used ... $16.99
Gently graceful work from Art Farmer – and a wonderful example of the way he was expanding his talents in the 70s! The set's got a slow burning sensuality that seems to bring even more soul out of Farmer's work on flugelhorn than before – especially on the mellower cuts, which seem ... read more CD
(Includes obi.)
East Wind/Universal (Japan), 1975. Used ... $16.99
A pretty sweet 70s set from Art Farmer – ostensibly a tribute to Duke Ellington, but really more of a gently soulful session in the mode of Art's best work of the decade! The group is the Cedar Walton trio with Walton on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums – all ... read more CD

Art Farmer & Slide Hampton —
In Concert ... CD Enja/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1986. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A wonderful pairing of players – the well-compressed flugelhorn of Art Farmer and the deeper trombone stylings of Slide Hampton – two players who cut some of their best work for European labels during this point in their career, including the performances heard on this album! The live ... read more CD
Timeless/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1998. New Copy ... $16.99 18.99
Sublime late 90s work from the great Art Farmer – blowing here on flugelhorn with superb backing from the European Jazz Trio – a combo who are perfect at unlocking those lyrical lines that can make Farmer's best work so great! The trio features Marc Van Roon on piano, Frans Van Der ... read more CD

Continental (Brazil), Mid 50s. Very Good- ... $28.99

Chapter One (UK), Late 60s. Very Good ... $11.99 13.99
A fantastic record, way groovier than you might expect! Tony Coe turns in some fantastic solos here – well-crafted reed work that really soars over the arrangements of Robert Farnon – which are also pretty much as groovy as anything that Farnon's ever given us! The solos are strong, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
