Choice/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
One of the coolest early albums we've ever heard from saxophonist Bob Mover – a set that not only features some very sharp solos and songs from the leader, but which also has a whole hell of a lot of other great things going on too!

An incredible record from funky drummer Idris Muhammad!

Another of Mulligan's large Concert Jazz Band sides, with a large section of brass and reeds, mostly featuring Mulligan and trombonist Bob Brookmyer in the soloist's seat.

The sound of Gerry Mulligan in the early 60s – and one of the best records by his larger than usual Concert Jazz Band!

Riverside, 1962. Very Good ... $14.99
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.

A killer set of searing soulful spiritual material from Oliver Nelson – and one of his best albums of the 70s! There's hardly anything "Swiss" in the music – save for the fact that it was recorded at the Montreux Jazz Fest – as the large ensemble recording has Nelson at ... read more CD
Impulse, 1967. Very Good Gatefold ... $6.99
A unique little outing for Oliver Nelson – one that breaks him out of the familiar territory of the studio, and puts him in a much more spontaneous live setting!

Venus (Japan), 2020. New Copy ... $19.99

Oasis ... CD Enja/Solid (Japan), 1981. New Copy ... $13.99
An unusual album from an unusual group – one that has reedman Frank Wess sounding far more introspective and personal than on some of his other material from the 70s and 80s – thanks to work from a group that also includes Roland Hanna on piano, George Mraz on bass, and Ben Riley on ... read more CD

Contemporary/OJC, 1976. Used ... $9.99
