Creative World, Mid 70s. Near Mint- ... $1.99
The first full album recorded by jazz composer/arranger Les Hooper – one of the hipper young cats hanging around the Kenton scene in the early 70s. As with some of the best of Kenton's work at the time, there's a great sound here that takes the older big band style of jazz and pushes it with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
MCA, 1979. Very Good Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
A classic Crusaders side-project from the end of the 70s – featuring Stix on drums and percussion, plus lots of sweet keyboards from Joe Sample!

Prestige/Riverside/Milestone, 1956/1961. Used ... $8.99
2 of the few sessions that pianist Elmo Hope cut as a leader in groups with horn players – back to back on one CD, with great notes! First up is Informal Jazz – a 1956 blowing session with Hope on the keys, and a great group that includes Donald Byrd, John Coltrane, and Hank Mobley ... read more CD
RCA, 1965. Near Mint- ... $8.99
One of our favorite Paul Horn albums, and a beautiful set of modal grooves that is far superior to most of the other stuff he's done over the years. Paul's playing here with his groovy little group that features a vibes/piano/bass/drum lineup, in addition to Paul's beautiful reed playing. The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label stereo pressing with deep groove – a great copy!)
Paul Horn —
Inside (aka Inside The Taj Majal) ... LP Epic, 1968. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $6.99
One of the most starkly beautiful recordings in Paul Horn's career – with spiritually resonant, almost spine tingling solo flute and some chants, all recorded in the Taj Majal one day in April of 1968! It's really all about the atmosphere, as it would have to be given the location – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Paul Horn —
Inside II ... LP Columbia, 1972. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $1.99
Paul Horn follows up his Inside The Taj Majal set – in someways leaving behind the stark, spare initimacy of that set for a more layered and tailored approach – and also leaving behind his more pronounced jazz roots for a more earthy and nature themed mode! Like Inside, it's a solo ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
RCA, 1965. Near Mint- ... $1.99
One of Paul Horn's groovier albums from the 60s – and a record that features some nice arrangements by Lalo Schifrin! As the title might make you guess, the album's kind of a "jazz mass", and replicates the Kyrie, Gloria, and Offertory progression of a regular Catholic mass. The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Cover has a cut corner.)
