World Pacific, 1959. Very Good+ ... $14.99
The Mastersounds seem to take a page from the book of the MJQ – especially with a title like this – but as usual, the end results are a fair bit hipper!

World Pacific, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A strange batch of titles played by one of the stranger groups of the late 50s, but the record works nicely – possibly because Rodgers & Hammerstein's tracks are a good forum for the group's mix of soul jazz and lyrical mysticism.

A beautiful trio album from bassist Ross McHenry – an artist here who works with just piano and drums, but somehow manages to make so many new and personal sounds flow from their combination! The songs are all originals, and McHenry's got a style that's visionary, yet also straight ahead ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Inner City, 1976. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A beautiful little album that's as sparely evocative as its title! Ken McIntyre's playing a wonderful Dolphy-inspired assortment of reeds that include alto sax, flute, oboe, and bassoon – working with a quartet that includes Jaki Byard on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, and Andrei Strobert on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cut corner, ring & edge wear, and a center split in the bottom seam held with clear tape.)
United Artists, 1963. Very Good+ ... $49.99
One of the fantastically beautiful records that reed player Ken McIntyre cut for United Artists in the early 60's. McIntyre was always one of the great unsung modernists of his time, and his work on assorted reed instruments is right up there with Eric Dolphy and Roland Kirk. This session has him ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

577, 2019. New Copy ... $18.99 19.99
Donald Sturge Anthony McKenzie II is a powerhouse here on drums – working his way over the kit with a massive sense of force, even when things are mellow – clearly employing a wide variety of elements to keep his sound open and fresh! There's only one number here that features solo ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tribe/Octave (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... $21.99

Columbia, 1978. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A key change for John McLaughlin – post-Mahavishnu, post-Shakti, and very much the electric guitarist promised in the title! The album's one of McLaughlin's more professional fusion outings of the 70s, but still has some of the earthiness of his roots – and despite a rather large ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Taiwanese pressing on Incredible Sound, still in the plastic outer sleeve.)
Columbia/BGO (UK), 1978/1979. Used ... $14.99
John McLaughlin music – a double-header of classic Columbia albums! First up is Electric Guitarist – a key change for John McLaughlin – post-Mahavishnu, post-Shakti, and very much the electric guitarist promised in the title! The album's one of McLaughlin's more professional ... read more CD

Polydor, 1968. Used ... $4.99
Most likely our favorite album by John McLaughlin – and one that features him in a wonderfully spare setting – alongside John Surman on saxes, Brian Odges on bass, and Tony Oxley on drums. The playing has a free and loose quality that McLaughlin would later lose on some his more fusion- ... read more CD

(Early 70s UK Polydor pressing. Cover has fabric tape holding the bottom seam.)
Dawn/Tiger Bay (UK), 1971. New Copy ... $22.99
A groundbreaking early album from guitarist John McLaughlin – a set that's a bit different than his more famous work of the mid 70s – with maybe a more avant approach, and a lot more bite as well! The set's really an equal collaboration, rather than just a McLaughlin session – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
