Wes Montgomery —
So Much Guitar! ... CD 
Riverside/OJC, 1961. Used ... $6.99
So much guitar – but never too much, given that Wes was the real master of sound and space, even at this early point in his career! The album's one that tries to break Montgomery from some of his smaller combo albums for Riverside, and pair him with a few bigger names – Hank Jones on ... read more CD

Ensayo/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... $16.99
Really lovely work from pianist Tete Montoliu – the kind of subtly soulful session that makes his work of the 70s such a treat for those in the know!

Discophon (Spain), 1969. Very Good+ ... $28.99

Mainstream, 1972. Sealed Gatefold ... $19.99
We only know Reggie Moore from a handful of records – but he's a hell of a pianist, and one who definitely earns the furioso name in the title!

GNP, Mid 50s. Near Mint- ... $46.99

Blue Note, 1968. Used ... $24.99
One of our favorite Lee Morgan albums, and one of his least known – a set recorded in the crucial last five years of his life, and a sparkling mix of hard bop, soul jazz, and slight bits of modernism – that magical mix that Lee was hitting as he reached farther and farther with his ... read more CD

Blue Note, 1957. Used ... $9.99
A very appropriate title for a very cooking little album – one of Lee Morgan's first efforts as a leader, cut back during his first years of late 50s fame! The style here is a bit less Morgan-esque than some of Lee's later 60s classics – but the record is rock-solid throughout, and ... read more CD

Blue Note (Japan), 1971. New Copy ... $18.99
Brilliant work throughout – the last studio album ever cut by Lee Morgan, and a mindblowing session that always leaves us wondering how massive he would have become if he hadn't been tragically murdered shortly after it was recorded!

(Out of print 3CD version – in great shape!)
Blue Note, 1965. Used ... $11.99
A great album by Lee Morgan – and one not to pass up! The Rumproller often gets too easily lumped next to The Sidewinder – because of an obvious title and cover similarity to that hit record – but like that one, the album's far more than jazz cliche – and shows Lee Morgan ... read more CD

Blue Note, 1964. Used ... $2.99
A jazz classic if there ever was one – and the best-selling album ever by Lee Morgan, thanks to the use of the title track in a car commercial! Sure, you've probably heard "The Sidewinder" enough that you think you know the album already – but the rest of the tunes really ... read more CD

Reissue of the Pacific Jazz album Annie Ross Sings A Song With Gerry Mulligan, one of the few albums that singer Annie Ross cut on her own away from the Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross group while she was still living in the US – and a great little set recorded with a group led by Gerry ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(60s blue label stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has a half split top seam.)
Verve, 1959. Used ... $4.99
Mulligan always sounds great next to a tenor – especially in the Verve series that has him teamed up with players like Johnny Hodges, Paul Desmond, or Stan Getz. This release, cut with Ben Webster upfront, is one of the best of that series – and features the pair blowing easily and ... read more CD

Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker —
Carnegie Hall Concert ... CD CTI, 1975. Used ... $4.99
A surprisingly wonderful 70s meeting between Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker – recorded live, with sweet electric touches from CTI – in a style that shouldn't work so well, but which really comes off great! The approach is simple – Mulligan and Baker solo in a manner that's a bit ... read more CD

Reunion With Chet Baker ... LP World Pacific, 1957. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Late 50's session in which Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker try to recreate the sound that made them a legend on the West Coast in the first place.

(Late 60s dark blue & silver label stereo Pacific Jazz pressing. Cover has a streak of green marker in back.)
Concord, 1986. Near Mint- ... $8.99
A lot nicer than you might think – very well-conceived, with some originals by Mulligan, too!

Titles include "Gone", "Soft Lights & Sweet Music", "No ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Blue Note, Early 50s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $19.99
A great little 2LP set – and a near-definitive release of recordings made by Gerry Mulligan and Lee Konitz, along with players like Zoot Sims, Allan Eager, and Al Cohn during the early 50s in LA. Some of the sides are studio sets, others are recorded live, and all seem to have a freeness ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Takeru Muraoka & Takao Uematsu —
Ride & Tie (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Express/Think (Japan), 1971. Used ... $49.99
Funky, fuzzy, and outta site – a really wonderful set of extended psychedelic jazz numbers from twin tenorists Takeru Muraoka and Takao Uematsu! The set's billed as a live tenor "battle" on the cover – but it's hardly the sort of record that you'd hear from American players ... read more CD
(Out of print, 2011 pressing – with obi! Part of the excellent Deep Jazz Reality series!)
Contemporary/OJC, 1955. Used ... $8.99
A rare bit of mid 50s modernism from composer Lyle Murphy – one of the most angular talents on the west coast scene of the time, but an artist who also manages to swing with a nice little groove! On one hand, Murphy's got some key academic inspiration behind his music – as you might ... read more CD
(Out of print. Please note the tray card has a piece of clear tape, is missing one spine, and has a small cutout notch on the other side.)
Riverside, 1961. Near Mint- ... $14.99
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! Ernie Wilkins handles the arrangements, and there's a rollicking soul jazz groove here that's a bit unusual ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s Japanese Victor pressing, SMJ-6064. Cover has discoloration from age in back.)
Capitol, Late 50s. Very Good ... $4.99
Quite possibly the greatest of Mark Murphy's early albums for Capitol – a heavily swinging set that features some great arrangements from Bill Holman, and Mark's classic version of the title tune – which he'd reprise nicely in years to come! The album's got Murphy in great west coast ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Rainbow label mono pressing. Cover has some light wear, but is nice overall. Vinyl has light sleeve marks on the surface, but is nice and clean.)

Octet Plays Trane ... CD Justin Time/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1999. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
A sublime take on the music of John Coltrane – one that would be great enough if it just featured the tenor of David Murray – but which also expands the presentation in a larger group that really brings a lot to the music! There's a soaring sort of spirit here that's beautiful – ... read more CD
Justin Time, 2007. Used ... $9.99
One of the greatest albums we've heard from David Murray in many years – a beautifully spiritual set that really reminds us of the promise we first heard in his music decades ago! Murray's working here with a lean, soulful ensemble that includes Lafayette Gilchrist on piano, Ray Drummond on ... read more CD
Philly Jazz, 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
One of the hippest, tightest sessions ever recorded by drummer Sunny Murray – a large group set recorded with his Untouchable Factor group – a great ensemble that includes Frank Foster on soprano sax, Oliver Lake and Arthur Blythe on alto saxes, Hamiet Bluiett on baritone, Don Pullen on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Douglas, 1977. Near Mint- ... $39.99
The first volume in this seminal series from the mid 70s – one that did a great job of documenting some of the formative underground playing that was happening in the New York loft scene, almost more creative work than in previous generations, thanks to a lack of commercial venues, and hence, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, but looks great overall.)
