EmArcy, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Very nice album of short jazzy cuts, recorded by Bill Harris, the guitarist for The Clovers. This Bill's not to be confused with the trombonist Bill, also from the same era – as his sound's a lot more soulful, with nice touches of his R&B roots. Titles include "Golden Sunset", ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

One of the true hit jazz albums of the 60s, and a record that's still pretty darn incredible today!

Atlantic, 1976. Very Good+ ... $5.99
A very interesting album from Eddie Harris – one that's more of a comedy album than a jazz record – honest!

Vee Jay, Early 60s. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
A great groovy Eddie Harris record that follows up on his "Exodus" hit – but which is not the more famous album under a similar name! This set differs from that one, in that it features a shorter reading of "Exodus", plus other short songs from other films – all ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Cantilever/Tidal Waves, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99
One of the rare west coast sets from Quinn Harris from the 70s – an artist who looks pretty darn badass on the cover, and who sounds very much the same on the grooves of the record!
