No Business (Lithuania), 2016. New Copy ... $8.99
A great large group recording from bassist Jason Roebke – and maybe one of his best records so far!

High Red Center ... CD Delmark, 2014. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Maybe the greatest work we've heard so far from Chicago bassist Jason Roebke – a key player on so many sessions for other jazzmen in recent years, but a hell of a visionary leader on his own!

RCA, 1959. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A pretty darn great record, and a lot more swinging than you'd expect!

Metrojazz, 1958. Very Good ... $14.99
A strange one, and from this perspective, it seems like a crazy decision to pair modernist tenorist Sonny Rollins with a set of large brassy arrangements.
