Timeless/Solid (Japan), Mid 80s. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
Cedar Walton plays here with one of his greatest trios ever – the lineup that featured David Williams on bass and Billy Higgins on drums – both players who seem to match that blend of spirit and lyricism that was always so special on Walton's approach!

Delmark, Late 70s. New Copy ... $6.99 12.99
One of the few records ever from Chicago trumpeter Frank Walton – and a sweet-stepping bit of soul jazz with some nice funky undercurrents!

Not Two (Poland), 2021. New Copy ... $14.99 16.99
Wandering The Sound is a great name for this quintet – as their improvisations seem to go on a journey during the course of the record – one that's not lost in the sense that "wandering" sometimes implies, but which is taking things easy, really exploring the time and space of ... read more CD
Verve, 1960s. Used ... $9.99 12.99
Incredibly groovy stuff! Walter Wanderely is one of the hippest organ players in the world – Brazilian by nature, but a huge success in the US in the 60s, thanks to the dreamy bossa nova numbers he recorded for Verve!

Twin Quest/Frederiksberg, Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $52.99 54.99
A hell of a spiritual jazz session from trumpeter Milt Ward – a relatively obscure player who worked on the same 70s Boston underground scene as Stanton Davis – a friend of Milt's and a good comparison to the sound of this one rare album! The vibe is a bit like that of Davis' Ghetto ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Flight Of I ... CD DIW/Columbia, 1992. Used ... $6.99
We'll be the first to admit that David S. Ware has made some clunky records over the years – but we love this album from 1992, and think it's one of the best that he ever made!

David S Ware —
Threads ... CD Thirsty Ear, 2003. Used ... $3.99
Threads is an apt title for this one, as David Ware's bringing his spiritual tenor musings into play with string backings – not a full "with strings" album in the Verve mode, but a small assemblage of players that match Ware's work wonderfully! The group features bass from William ... read more CD

Takt (Japan), 1967. Very Good Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Haunting early work from Japanese reed legend Sadao Watanabe – an artist who makes the record way more than just a set of familiar ballads!

Toshiba (Japan), 1961. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Great work from a very young Sadao Watanabe – playing alto sax lines against a moody backdrop of late nite orchestrations – a style that's quite different than the sound of his work from later 60s years!

Definite magic from the mighty Frank Wess – an even-better follow-up to his previous album of a similar title – and really proof that in these later years, Frank is something very special indeed! We've always loved Wess' work on tenor and flute – a legacy that stretches back to ... read more CD

Savoy, 1956. Very Good+ ... $38.99
Frank's tenor and flute are out front on this swingin' session cut with Frank Foster, Kenny Burrell, Kenny Clarke, and Bennie Powell.

Deram (UK), 1968. Sealed ... $9.99
A rarity from 1968 – Mike Westbrook's 2nd album, and a seminal work in the development of his messed-up large group style.

Decca, 1956. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A hipper group than you'd expect – especially since they're all college kids!

Jazz harpist Amanda Whiting offers up a nicely changed-up sound here – on a record that begins with a lean trio approach, the adds in work from Chip Wickham on alto and flute on a few tracks too!

Esquire (UK), 1953/1954. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A great saxophonist from the British scene of the 50s – one that most Americans don't know as well as Ronnie Scott or Tubby Hayes, but who cut some equally important work at the time!
