CTI, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $8.99
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

Milt Jackson – Wizard Of The Vibes (RVG remaster edition) ... CD Blue Note, Late 40s/Early 50s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Whatever you may think of Milt Jackson's later work, this stuff from the early 50s, recorded in his pre-MJQ years, shows the vibist as a lively talent, playing head to head with boppers that he'd never dare face in later years. Players include Lou Donaldson, John Lewis, Thelonious Monk, and Shadow ... read more CD

CTI, 1974. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $14.99
Milt Jackson's third album for CTI – part of a wonderful run that really helped him redefine his sound in the 70s! The album's got the electric approach you'd expect from the label – a great change from the sound of Jackson in the Modern Jazz Quartet, and a surprisingly great setting ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(In fantastic shape, including the CTI inner sleeve.)
Savoy, 1955. Good+ ... $11.99
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
(Original red label pressing with deep groove and RVG etch. Cover has some wear and peeling gloss at the opening.)
Savoy, Mid 50s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $3.99
A great collection of Milt's excellent sides as a leader for Savoy, pulled together for a 70s release. Wonderful bop rendered here in a small agile group that features the vibist alongside the great Lucky Thompson on tenor, with Hank Jones, Wendell Marshall and Kenny Clarke in the rhythm section. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Wizard Of The Vibes (GNP) ... LP GNP, 1954. Very Good+ ... $1.99
Milt Jackson and JJ Johnson – working here together on 1954 session cut in New York – but some of which features contributions from the famous French pianist Henri Renaud!

(70s pressing.)
Atlantic, 1959. Used ... $3.99
An incredible collaboration from John Coltrane and Milt Jackson – and one that gives Milt one of his sharpest records ever! The setting is relatively straight – tenor from Coltrane, vibes from Jackson – plus rhythm from Hank Jones on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Connie Kay ... read more CD

Impulse, 1969. Very Good Gatefold ... $5.99
At the end of the 60s, Milt Jackson and Ray Brown cut some very groovy records together – teamed up in a great pairing of styles that pushed both of them way past the more standard sounds of earlier years! This album's one of the best of the bunch – as it features pianist Monty ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Green label ABC/Impulse pressing. Cover has a cut corner with waviness and staining along the bottom seam.)
Riverside (Japan), 1961. Used ... $14.99
A beautiful combination we'd like to hear more of – one that comes from the meeting of Milt Jackson's vibes and the guitar of Wes Montgomery – both recorded here in easygoing brilliance! The session's a nice break from the usual sound of both players at the time – and although ... read more CD
(Out of print, includes obi.)
Philips (France), 1958. Very Good- ... $36.99
A fantastic early recording from the great French tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen!
