Aketa's Disk/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1979. New Copy ... $20.99 24.99
One of the warmest, most lyrical albums recorded on the unique Aketa's Disk label in Japan – a set that offers up their own spin on some of the trio modes of the bigger labels of the time – all served up in a nicely offbeat performance from drummer Tsunoda Hiro! Each of the two tracks ... read more CD

Flying Dutchman, 1970. Used ... $8.99
An excellent late Johnny Hodges album that mixes his supreme talents with two of the other big stars of the Flying Dutchman label – Oliver Nelson and Leon Thomas – both of whom contribute wonderfully to the set! Nelson arranged the whole album, and gives it the groovy feel of some of ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Verve, 1958. Very Good+ ... $44.99
Blues-a-plenty, but still pretty darn jazzy too – as the "blues" in the title is just Verve's code for the way the album's put together – loose, unstructured, and a great format for Johnny Hodges to do some wonderful blowing on alto sax! The album also features strong work ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(MGM stereo pressing. Cover has light surface wear, some aging, a name in pen, and a small split on the bottom seam.)
Verve (Japan), 1952. Used ... $14.99
An undisputed Verve classic, and proof that Johnny Hodges could make damn good records away from Duke Ellington! The set features a number of small groupings of Ellington players – like Al Sears, Billy Strayhorn, Lawrence Brown, and others – but the sound is quite different than with ... read more CD
(2010 Japanese pressing – still sealed with obi!)
Verve, 1965. Very Good+ ... $7.99
One of Hodges' best albums for Verve from the 60s – recorded with a great small combo that includes Grant Green on guitar, Grady Tate on drums, and Wild Bill Davis on organ.

Johnny Hodges —
Johnny Hodges Septet In Concert – Copenhagen, March 17, 1961 ... CD Steeplechase (Denmark), 1961. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Rare small group work from the great Johnny Hodges – an unissued live set from the start of the 60s, and one that has Johnny working with key Ellington sidemen in a very Ellington-like setting!

Canatal (Canada), Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... $36.99

Capitol/Creative World, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $7.99
A great big band indeed – a session from 1960 that has Bill Holman still sitting nicely at the top of the west coast large group format from the 50s! As with previous dates of this nature, Holman's got a way around the charts that few can match – a way of swinging the whole ensemble ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s issue. Cover has a lightly bumped corner and is faded along the top seam and spine.)
Coral, 1957. Very Good ... $9.99
Fabulous is right! Bill's never sounded better – and the album's got a maturity of expression that pushes him way past his Kenton years! The tracks are all larger ensemble ones, arranged and partially written by Bill, and played by the group in a broad chromatic style that's very nice. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Maroon label pressing with deep groove. Cover has a split spine, split top seam, and some surface wear.)
Andex, 1958. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A wonderful showcase for the arranging talents of Bill Holman – one that steps off with a more straightforward and swinging style than some of his work of the time for the Stan Kenton group!

Loma, 1966. Very Good- ... $7.99
An album of organ groovers – cut by Holmes for the tiny Loma subsidiary of Warner Bros. Onzy Matthews leads a group behind Groove's organ, and the larger backing works well with Groove's funky style. The overall feel's a bit like some of the work that Groove cut for World Pacific in the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Versatile/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99
Groove Holmes is definitely dancing in the sun here – working with full arrangements from Mario Sprouse, in a sweetly soulful style that's not unlike Johnny Hammond at the time! Groove still plays Hammond on most numbers – but also a bit of mini Korg too – and although the ... read more CD
Pacific Jazz, 1961. Very Good ... $9.99 11.99
Quite an unusual date – both for the players, who are normally more at home on Prestige Records – and for the Pacific Jazz label, who were then a cornerstone of west coast cool jazz! That setting doesn't keep the album from being a killer, though – as Gene Ammons wails away on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Pacific Jazz, 1962. Very Good ... $4.99
Two of LA's leading soul jazz luminaries – playing head to head in an interesting session that mixes lines on piano and organ!

Megafon/Moserobie (Sweden), 1965. Used ... $13.99
Brilliant work from an overlooked Swedish group of the 60s – a quintet led by tenorist Gilbert Holmstrom, a player we'd rank right up there with the best European modernists of his generation!

East World/Think (Japan), 1987. New Copy (reissue)... $44.99 49.99
Sophisticated fusion from Japanese reedman Toshiyuki Honda – a set that's kind of an extension of the straighter sounds he'd crafted a few years before!

Riverside, 1961/1992. Used ... $12.99
A great little album that Hope made upon his return to the east coast in the early 60s – not too long before he passed away. Half the tunes are cut with a sextet that features Blue Mitchell, Frank Foster, and Jimmy Heath – and the other are cut with a trio that features Hope, Percy ... read more CD

The only album we've ever seen from pianist Stan Hope – an obscure east coast player who also spent a good portion of his career touring overseas. Hope's working here in a blues-drenched soul jazz piano mode – a bit like the Les McCann LTD albums of the 60s, with a similarly-solid ... read more CD

RCA, 1965. Very Good ... $1.99
One of Paul Horn's groovier albums from the 60s – and a record that features some nice arrangements by Lalo Schifrin!

2 early albums by the great Shirley Horn – back to back on one CD!
