Storyville (Denmark), 1994. New Copy ... $10.99 11.99
Great drums from the legendary Roy Haynes – a player who was really coming into his own again at the time of this mid 90s set!

Drummer Roy Haynes always brings something great to the table for any album he does as a leader – and this record is no exception!

Jazzman (UK), 2021. New Copy (pic cover)... $11.99
A beautiful single – and both sides are great! Shay Hazan's a bassist, and leads the group with a very strong energy on "Berber's Cha Cha" – a modal tune, not a Latin number – building wonderfully with trumpet from Tal Avraham, tenor from Eyal Netzer, and piano from ...

Verve, 2020. New Copy Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
The last album that Jimmy Heath ever gave the world – and a record that makes us miss him even more – as the whole thing takes Heath back to that spectacular mix of solo expressionist, thoughtful composer, and sensitive arranger territory of his best early years!

Riverside/OJC, 1962. Used ... $11.99
Excellent early work from Jimmy Heath – only his 3rd LP as a leader (hence the title), but already showing a tremendous talent for soulful expression that would blossom even more strongly in the 70s!

Doodlin, 2008. Used ... $8.99
Cool contemporary Hammond work from organist Bill Heid – a set that's got way more to offer than just its gimmicky title!

Jazzaggression (Finland), 2020. New Copy (pic cover)... $15.99
A contemporary Finnish group, and a great one too – a combo who play with the sharp, soulful tones of a Blue Note lineup from the 60s – but all without ever sounding like they're trying to copy that mode too much! Instead, these guys just have a proud, confident sense of their ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Subtle genius from Joe Henderson – a wonderfully laidback album that interweaves Latin rhythms, west coast soul jazz, and some slight electric touches – all in a mode that shows Henderson to be one of the deepest thinking players of his scene! All tracks are long and exploratory, ... read more CD
