A whole new side of the talents of Sun Ra – especially if you only know the longer-style jams on some of his albums from the 60s and 70s!

ECM (Germany), 2004. Used ... $9.99
A nicely mature album from trumpeter Enrico Rava – one that really explores the space between the notes, and which has Rava in the company of a very well-matched quintet! Enrico always had a sense of "less is more" in his horn, right from the start – but that quality only ... read more CD
ECM, 1975. Very Good+ ... $16.99
One of Enrico Rava's more over-the-top albums – recorded with a full-on trumpet sound that reminds us a bit of Freddie Hubbard in early CTI years, set into some harder jamming post-Miles arrangements!

Lou Rawls Anthology ... CD Capitol, 1960s/Early 70s. Used 2 CDs ... Just Sold Out!
We love Lou Rawls – and this is some of his best stuff! Lou's got a voice that can't be beat, and he cut a wealth of fantastic material for Capitol during the long stretch he stayed on the label.

Mainstream/Solid (Japan), 1971. New Copy ... $13.99
A fantastic album as a leader from Sonny Red – a saxophonist who never got much chance to record under his own name, but always gave us something special when he did!

Interplay, 1977. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A soulful 70s outing from pianist Freddie Redd – one of his few albums as a leader from the decade, and a tight trio outing recorded for the tiny Interplay label!

(Original US pressing.)
Riverside, 1957. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Very different work than Freddie Redd's firey albums for Blue Note – a set of trio tunes that are distinctly modern, but done with a much more laidback approach. Freddie's style here has a bit of the late nite barroom feel – with some great blue notes and sadness stepping out from the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Solid State, 1963/1969. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $29.99
An excellent bit of early 60s soulbop – and one of two rare albums ever cut by the obscure female alto player Vi Redd, one of the few women sax players of her generation to get recorded!

Impulse, 1974. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $24.99

Freedom, 1966/1975. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Nice early set by Dewey, recorded in San Francisco in 1966 with a quartet that includes Jim Young on piano, Don Raphael Garrett on bass, and Eddie Moore on drums.

ECM, 1982. Near Mint- ... $19.99
Dewey's struggle is our success – as the album's one of the strongest from the ECM catalog at the time, and a simple, clean statement of the Redman talent at its best!

Black Saint (Italy), 1989. Very Good+ ... $16.99
The album's got a bit of an odd title – as we hardly think that Redman was living on the edge at the time – but it's also a great little set, no matter what the name! Dewey's playing in a soulful and inside mode on most tracks – working in a style that recalls some of Archie ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

There's this understated confidence going on here – as if Redman no longer has anything to prove ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Beehive, 1978. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Excellent later work from trumpeter Dizzy Reece – best known for his classic late 50s sides on Blue Note and New Jazz, but heard here as part of a great flurry of 70s revival sessions! The work's got an arch modern tone that's really surprising – almost a bit like Ted Curson at times, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Honeydew, 1977. Near Mint- ... $49.99
Brilliant later work from Dizzy Reece – music recorded in the 70s, and a full expression of the spiritual themes that were only hinted at in earlier years, but which blossom here beautifully! Side one is an extension of themes from the film The Exorcist – but aren't cheesy at all, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Savoy, 1956. Very Good+ ... $84.99

Really great work from pianist Eric Reed – a musician who's been recording for years, but who feels here as if he's unlocked a whole new creative side of his personality! The album's got a number of strengths that stand out right away – firstly in that Reed plays both piano and Fender ... read more CD
American Clave, 1987. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A pretty interesting album – one in which a host of jazz and rock players pay set music to texts written by consciousness-raiser/sci-fi author Ishmael Reed.

Aerophonic, 2018. New Copy ... $12.99
A familiar improvising duo work here with a nicely different element – the guitar and electric bass of Jasper Stadhouders, which seems to unlock some fresh energy between the drums of Frank Rosaly and the alto and tenor of Dave Rempis! At some points, Stadhouders is quite abstract with his ... read more CD

RCA, 1971. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
A 70s gem from Buddy Rich – a session that's cut with some really tightly arranged backings, but done in a way that actually has Buddy kicking the kit even more than usual! Some of the best tunes on the set have a really wicked sense of funk – one that uses a bit more space than in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
EmArcy, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A driver it is – one of Buddy's best jazz records from the 60s, with a straight lineup that includes Seldon Powell on tenor and Mike Mainieri on vibes – both of whom give the set a cool feel that's somewhere in between Buddy's swinging work of the 50s, and his groovier late 60s sides. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Keep The Customer Satified ... CD Pacific Jazz, 1970. Used ... $5.99
Buddy certainly knew how to keep the customer satisfied – as you'll hear on this hip set of big band grooves, recorded by Buddy for Liberty Records in 1970, and issued here with a number of extra bonus cuts. The set's got Buddy working with a tight group of younger players, in a mode that's ... read more CD

Groove Merchant/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... $16.99
Nothing "blues" about this set – as Buddy Rich is working with some of the best soul jazz players of the Groove Merchant label – on a set that's one of his few small combo albums from the 70s! The vibe is very relaxed and laidback, and even Buddy's tight drumming can't over-hy ... read more CD
(Part of the Groove Merchant Mo' Groovy Collection!)
Norgran, Early 50s. Very Good+ ... $6.99
Buddy's got plenty of help to swing with here – on a set that features work by Benny Carter, Sonny Criss, or Willie Smith on alto, George Auld on tenor, Harry Edison on trumpet, and Gerald Wiggins on piano. The alto work of Smith and Criss is especially great – raspy, edgy, and with a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Verve Records Inc pressing with trumpeter logo and deep groove, in a red cover, with light surface wear and clear tape on the top seam.)
Verve, 1956. Used ... $3.99
A lively little set done strongly in a Basie mode – as you might guess from the title! Buddy's on drums, but the real maestro here is Marty Paich – who handled the arrangements, and most likely brought together the batch of west coast jazzers who inhabit the group – including ... read more CD

Universal (Japan), 1959. New Copy ... $13.99
A legendary meeting of these two jazz talents – and knowing the famous temper of Buddy Rich, this probably really was a battle of the drummers! Kidding aside, though, the set's a very unusual one for Buddy – as the group here features players normally associated with Max Roach – ... read more CD
Joyce, Late 30s/1940s. Very Good- ... $0.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some notes in pen on back.)
Capitol, Mid 50s. Very Good ... $5.99
Ann's a more lustily voiced singer than the sort that usually worked with Stan Kenton during the 50s – with a deep range in her delivery of a song, and a mode of singing that's a bit more unbridled than you'd expect for someone working under Stan. This set's a lot more Ann's album than it is ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Rainbow label mono pressing. Cover has old tape on the seams and some light staining on the spine.)
