Leon Thomas —
Spirits Known & Unknown (180 gram pressing) ... LP Flying Dutchman/BGP (UK), 1969. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $22.99 29.99
Wonderful work from Leon Thomas – easily one of his greatest albums ever, and a set that was recorded at the same time he was working with Pharoah Sanders! Thomas really rose to fame on Sanders' classic "The Creator Has A Master Plan" – and this set really takes off from that ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Luther Thomas —
11th Street Fire Suite ... CD Creative Consciousness/Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1978. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99 15.99
A wonderfully sensitive record from the legendary St Louis saxophonist Luther Thomas – very different than some of his larger group material, and in a really great way! The record features Thomas in duets with Luther C Petty – the leader on alto sax, Petty on flute, and both musicians ... read more CD
Black Jazz/Real Gone, 1971. New Copy ... $8.99 13.99
One of the few solo albums ever cut by organist Chester Thompson – a player who's known to most as the keyboardist in Tower Of Power, but one who's also remembered by a select funky few for this killer record for the Black Jazz label! The album's a stripped-down quartet session – with ... read more CD
Delmark, 1991. New Copy ... $6.99 12.99
Malachi Thompson always has a great ear for the saxophonist in his groups – and that's definitely the case here, as the record sparkles as much from the tenor of Carter Jefferson and alto of Joe Ford, as it does from Malachi's trumpet! The three horns rise together wonderfully – Ford ... read more CD
Ra/Mad About Records (Portugal), Early 70s. New Copy ... $34.99 39.99
The first album from Chicago trumpeter Malachi Thomspon – and the hippest, too! The set was recorded in 1974 – much earlier than anything we've seen from Malachi on record – and it's got a vibe that would be right at home in the Strata East universe – especially in the way ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Delmark, 1990. New Copy ... $6.99 12.99
Overlooked spiritual jazz genius from Chicago trumpeter Malachi Thompson – a player who was making 70s-styled sessions when most folks had given up on the music! The vibe here is right between Strata East and some of the more righteous 70s sessions on Muse – and the group features ... read more CD
Sir Charles Thompson —
Sir Charles Thompson & The Swing Organ ... LP Columbia, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of the grooviest albums ever from Sir Charles Thompson – a set that features the keyboardist on Hammond, which makes for a great change from piano! Titles include "Jumpin At Basie's", "19th Hole", "Robbin's Nest", "I Wanta Love You", and "April ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(6 eye pressing. Cover has light surface wear and minor splitting on the spine.)
Clifford Thornton New Art Ensemble —
Freedom & Unity ... LP Third World, 1967. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Pretty darn obscure work from Clifford Thornton – and pretty darn great! The record features Thornton's New Art Ensemble, which includes Sonny King on alto, Karl Berger on vibes, Joe McPhee on trumpet, and Jimmy Garrison on bass. The tracks are similar to some of Thornton's later work, but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing! Cover has light wear, and tape on the top and bottom seams – and back has one small worn spot. Label has a bit of pen – but vinyl is very nice!)

About Time, 1982. New Copy ... $9.99 11.99
One of the most beautiful, lyrical albums we've ever heard from Henry Threadgill – a set that still has all the sharp edges you might know from his other work, but which also comes across with a slightly more sensitive sound as well! The compositions are beautiful – really well-written ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Black Saint (Italy), 1990. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 29.99
When the album starts with a heavy drumbreak, you know you're in different territory than usual for Henry Threadgill – yet that's always also the appeal of his music, that we never know what to expect! Drummer Gene Lake cooks up the set right from the start, but a key part of the sound is ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Columbia/Be! (Germany), 1961. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
A wonderful set from this cool Australian combo – and one that offers up the group in two nicely different modes! Side one has The Three Out sounding wonderful as a trio – with sublime soul-styled piano from a very young Mike Nock, and exceptional work on bass from Freddy Logan – ... read more CD
Fantasy/BGP (UK), 1975. New Copy ... $8.99 14.99
A great little album of jazz funk – and the only record we've ever seen by this group!

Three Sounds —
Live At The Lighthouse ... CD Blue Note, 1967. Used ... $19.99
A great little session by The Three Sounds – and one that features the band grooving away in a style that's a lot more lively than some of their studio recordings from the time!
