Prestige, 1962. Very Good ... $36.99
A classic early set from Jack McDuff – and a record that's very much in his own hands, despite the presence of Gene Ammons as a co-leader! The group's more of a McDuff one than an Ammons ensemble – and features the great Joe Dukes on drums, Eddie Diehl on guitar, and Harold Vick on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Verve (Japan), 1965. Used ... $11.99
One of the grooviest albums of the 60s – a sublime blend of jazz, bossa, and easy – and a set that definitely lives up to its title! The album's probably the most perfect realization of the unique groove that Gary McFarland was going for back in the day – a mix of vibes, ... read more CD

Blue Note, Early 50s. Used ... $16.99

East Wind/Inner City, 1978. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A very apt title – as Jackie McLean sits in for a soulful session with the Great Jazz Trio of Hank Jones, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams – all "old bottles" at this point in their career, but working together beautifully to brew some very mellow "new wine"! The album' ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a small patch of light staining on the back and a bit of waviness.)
Sackville (Canada), 1996. New Copy 2CDS ... $0.99 18.99
Trombonist Dave McMurdo's a bit of an unsung talent at the helm of a large ensemble – maybe in part because he mostly works up in Canada – but as this huge double-length set will show, Dave's a hell of an arranger, and really manages to bring the most out of his group! There's plenty ... read more CD

Fence ... CD B & C/Hux (UK), 1970. Used ... $24.99
A stone classic from one of the hippest cats on the British jazz scene at the end of the 60s – the under-reissued Harold McNair, a reed player beyond compare! Harold's got a pedigree that's already pretty hip – including key contributions to some of Donovan's best late 60s albums ... read more CD

Route 84 Quarantine Blues – Black Cross Solo Sessions 2 ... CD Corbett vs. Dempsey, 2021. New Copy ... $12.99 15.99
Tremendous solo work from the great Joe McPhee – recorded alone at home during 2020, as you might guess from the title – but a set that has Joe being wonderfully expressive, in the very personal way that you'd know if you've ever seen him live in performance! McPhee mostly blows tenor, ... read more CD
(Part of the Black Cross Solo Sessions series!)
Hat Hut/Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1977. New Copy ... $11.99 15.99
Seminal solo work from the great Joe McPhee – and a crucial album in linking the American and European undergrounds of the 70s! Joe's working alone here – on soprano sax and tenor – and getting some amazing sounds out of both horns – the kind of post-musical, highly-textural ... read more CD
Hat Hut/Superior Viaduct, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 29.99
A beautiful set of live improvisations from reedman Joe McPhee – recorded early in his time with the Hat Hut label – at a concert in Willisau, Switzerland – already showing Joe's strong relationship with the European scene!

Joe McPhee & Andre Jaume —
Nuclear Family ... CD Hat Hut/Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1979. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99 15.99
Insanely beautiful work from the great Joe McPhee – an album that was recorded and intended to be issued during his groundbreaking stretch with Hat Art Records – but which never saw the light of day at the time! Why that happened, we're not entirely sure – because the album is ... read more CD
(Beautiful package – with a heavy Japanese-style paper sleeve!)

Corbett vs. Dempsey, 2018. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99 15.99
A long overdue return to duet formation for Joe McPhee and Hamid Drake – the duo who played together so beautifully on the Emancipation Proclamation album!

Corbett vs. Dempsey, 2024. New Copy ... $11.99 14.99
A very different side of the talents of the great Joe McPhee, and a great one too – a set of spoken word passages that are provided with occasional saxophone contributions from Ken Vandermark – all coming together in a way that's maybe even more righteous than some of the instrumental ... read more CD
PNL (Norway), 2019. New Copy Gatefold ... $11.99 16.99
A set dedicated to the legendary drummer Sunny Murray – who passed just a few days before the recording of this live set, and who also gave the world a fantastic album with Big Chief as the title – but a record that's very much in the best sort of spirit you might expect from the great ... read more CD

Charles McPherson ... CD Mainstream/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1971. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Charles McPherson in the 70s – really hitting a great groove for the new decade – and finding a way to set himself apart from the style of his earlier work! McPherson first rose as a sharp bopper, with an alto style that was in a Charlie Parker mode – but by the end of the 60s, ... read more CD
