Baddest Hubbard or goodest Hubbard – whatever you prefer, the set's a great sampling of Freddie's incredible work for the CTI label during the early 70s! The album only features 4 tracks, but for CTI, Freddie was cutting them so long, that's the only way you could go – as his ... read more CD

Limelight, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $6.99
One of Milt Jackson's best albums from the 60s – and one we love because it's got a lot more of a soul jazz feel than others! Of course, you've got to thank the rest of the group for that – because with players like Jimmy Heath, Jimmy Owens, Cedar Walton, Mickey Roker, and Walter ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Cover is lightly stained and wavy from moisture at the bottom.)

Milt's vibes with sweet strings from Jimmy Jones! LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some moisture staining along the bottom seam and a gold promo stamp.)
CTI, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $9.99
Sweet 70s electric work from the great vibist Milt Jackson – a record that has him hitting some nicely moody modes, and in a spacious style that's almost a 70s remake of the energy of the Modern Jazz Quartet! Cedar Walton plays piano and Fender Rhodes – and Hubert Laws is in the group ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Savoy, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ... $29.99
A great little set from Milt Jackson – not just for his work on vibes, but also for some great tenor from Lucky Thompson! Thompson's raspy edge brings a nice degree of soulfulness to the set – a sound that adds depth to the sometimes mellower moments set down by Jackson and the rhythm ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Heavy red label pressing, with deep groove and RVG etch. Cover has small pieces of clear tape on the seams and a name in pen on back.)
Blue Note, Early 50s. Very Good- ... $99.99
Wicked early work from Milt Jackson – a record that's got a lot more of an edge than some of his later work with the Modern Jazz Quartet – a near-perfect modernist bop sound that's every bit the best side of Blue Note in the early 50s! The package brings together material from a few ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Lexington Avenue pressing with deep groove, RVG etch, and "ear". Cover has some edge wear, half split top seam, and some splitting in the spine.)
Riverside/OJC, 1963. Used ... $9.99
A great little set from that time when Milt Jackson was fronting a group that also included Jimmy Heath on tenor – a wonderful pairing of talents that made for some of Milt's most soulful sides of the 60s! Heath's sharp-edged tone is a great contrast to Jackson's smoother touch on the vibes ... read more CD

Savoy, 1955. Good+ ... $2.99
One of the best-known 50s jazz sessions from the Savoy label – a laidback classic that's a great illustration of the label's shift in modes after the early bop years! The setting here is relatively informal – with Milt Jackson as the ersatz leader, working almost in blowing session ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Savoy, Mid 50s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $7.99
A great collection of Milt's excellent sides as a leader for Savoy, pulled together for a 70s release.

Pablo/OJC, 1983. Used ... $8.99
A set that definitely moves along the Soul Route promised in the title – thanks to great vibes from Milt Jackson, and a mix of electric and acoustic piano from Gene Harris! Harris here has none of the hoke of some of his Concord sides – and instead, slides in alongside Jackson to give ... read more CD
CTI, 1972. Very Good Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Proof that Milt Jackson was easily the hippest member of the Modern Jazz Quartet – and one of the few who could really open up into different sounds away from that combo! This sweet 70s set for CTI is totally great – a whole new chapter for Jackson's vibes, and a real re-setting of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Pablo, Late 50s/Early 60s/1970s/Early 80s. Used ... $3.99

Atlantic, 1959. Used ... Just Sold Out!
