Pacific Jazz, 1950s/1960. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A great collection of (until then) previously-unreleased material – pulled from the Pacific Jazz vaults from a range of 50s sessions, and spanning some of Gerry's initial sides for the company, up to work that approached the late 50s date of this album's release. Material features Gerry in a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Verve, 1963. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
The sound of Gerry Mulligan in the early 60s – and one of the best records by his larger than usual Concert Jazz Band!

Great early work by Mark Murphy – a set that's different than the cool breeziness of his 70s work, and done with an approach that's a lot hipper than most of his 60s contemporaries!

Riverside, 1962. Very Good ... $11.99
Given what a freewheeling, open-minded, and lyrical jazz singer Mark Murphy is, it's hard to imagine him really loving "the blues" – and fortunately, most of that love is extended in the title, because the album itself is less of the blues effort that you might think.

OK World (Norway), 2018. Used ... $6.99
A fantastic meeting of ancient and modern on the Norwegian jazz scene – a set that echoes some of the vintage Scandinavian folk/jazz experiments of the 60s, but with a very different vibe!

Enja/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1980. New Copy ... $16.99
A really dark-tinged record that definitely lives up to its title – duets between pianist Walter Norris and bassist Aladar Pege – the latter of whom mostly recorded in his own Hungarian scene, and rarely got outside exposure like this! Pege's fantastic – way more than just a ... read more CD

Enja/Solid (Japan), 1974. Used ... $11.99
The title's an appropriate one – as the record drifts a bit lazily from track to track. The energy never really picks up, and but it's got a nice laid back, spacious approach, settling comfortably into its destiny as a set of piano/bass duets. Titles include "Space Maker", "No ... read more CD

Famous Door/Progressive, 1977. New Copy ... $13.99 15.99
A really great later album from vibist Red Norvo – one that not only features some great small combo work of his own, but which also boasts some strong tenor from a young Scott Hamilton!

Savoy, 1950/1951. Used ... $6.99
Norvo may have cut some sleepy recordings in his day, but his early sides are usually all pretty great – especially this material, recorded with Tal Farlow on guitar and Charles Mingus on bass!
