(Japanese pressing, with obi – nice and heavy! Back cover has some light wear, and inside gatefold has some very light aging – but this is a great copy overall.)
Columbia, 1978. Used 2 CD's ... $6.99 9.99
One of Herbie Hancock's great acoustic moments of the 70s – quite a contrast to his more dynamic electric work of the time, with the subtle, sensitive approach of some of his Japanese trio sessions! Likewise, Chick Corea reminds us that he's great on the acoustic keys too – and works ... read more CD

Carney, 1964. Sealed ... $24.99 28.99
Flo Handy's voice is remarkable, and the album is too – a really unique little session that has the singer working only with two guitars for backing! Given that the guitarists are Carl Kress and George Barnes, Handy is in very good company here – as the spare, hollow-body lines from ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

John Handy —
2nd John Handy Album ... LP Columbia, 1966. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Handy's really going for the college crowd here – breaking away from the modernist hardbop of his post-Mingus years, going for a melange of styles put together with a host of hipper San Francisco players that includes Jerry Hahn on guitar and Michael White on violin. There's traces of some ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A jazz version of a Broadway show, but an especially great one too – and a set that's really quite fresh, given the less familiar nature of the Harold Rome compositions!

Arista Freedom/DA Music (Germany), 1974. Used ... $11.99
Live solo work by Roland Hanna – a set that starts out kind of slow, as Hanna performs 2 Ellington crowd-pleasers – but which then really takes off as he moves into his own beautiful compositions!
