Universal (France), 2006. Used ... $8.99
Deeply textural jazz work from saxophonist Chris Potter – working here in a group with Wayne Krantz on guitar, Craig Taborn on Fender Rhodes, and Nate Smith on drums! The sound's a bit similar to some of the recent Blue Note generation – soulful one minute, modern the next – with ... read more CD

Edition, 2021. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99
Some of the most electric work we've ever heard from Chris Potter – a set that has him playing keyboards and sampler, in addition to his more familiar work on saxes and flute – in a group that also has James Francies on keyboards, and Eric Harland on drums! If you're a fan of Potter's ... read more CD
123/Souffle Continu (France), Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
A strange and beautiful album from reedman Steve Potts – an artist that most folks know as a key part of the Steve Lacy group on the French scene of the 70s, but who stepped aside to record this rare album as a leader! As you'd guess from the title, the album's a soundtrack of sorts – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Blue Jack Jazz/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1988. New Copy ... $16.99
Great work as a leader from reedman Ferdinand Povel – a player who's sparked up some great moments on albums by other players over the years, but who hardly ever records as a boss on his own! This set's a "forgotten tape" – recorded in the late 80s, but only issued recently ... read more CD

A pair of late Bud Powell albums – brought together here in a single set! First up is Blues For Bouffemont – wonderful late work from pianist Bud Powell – recorded in France, where Bud seemed to do all of his best recordings in the early 60s! The setting is a trio – with ... read more CD
Reprise, 1964. Very Good ... $11.99
A surprising Bud Powell album for Reprise Records – and one of the label's hippest jazz titles ever! When Frank Sinatra first started up the Reprise imprint, he let Duke Ellington do a bit of A&R for the jazz division – and one of the first things Ellington did was capture the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
