Fantasy, Early 60s. Very Good ... $9.99
A nice early Cal Tjader set for Fantasy – featuring Cal's vibes set up in a piano and percussion mode – a bit like work by the George Shearing group, but with a hipper sound, and more of a firey Latin finish, thanks to percussion by the likes of Willie Bobo and Mongo Santamaria. Lonnie ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Cal Tjader —
Last Bolero In Berkeley ... LP Fantasy, 1973. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Mellow electric stuff recorded by Tjader with a number of different west coast studio groups. The tracks are pretty short, and not as funky as those on some of Tjader's other records from the time, but there's still plenty of nice jazzy moments, and a good moody vibe. Titles include "Gary's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, but looks great overall.)
Fantasy/OJC, 1956. Used ... $4.99
Excellent 50s Latin work from Cal Tjader – and a set that boasts some especially nice tenor from the legendary Brew Moore! Moore's sound here anchors the date nicely – bringing in a bit more of a bottom sound than usual for a Cal Tjader Latin date – really rooting the record with ... read more CD

Verve, 1963. Used ... $14.99
Two of Cal's great albums for Verve that mix jazzy vibes, Latin grooves, and kitschy "Eastern" scoring! Several Shades Of Jade is a killer batch of tracks that's right in line with Cal's best work from the 60's. It's got a monster version of Horace Silver's "Tokyo Blues", plus ... read more CD

Skye/Modern Harmonic, 1968. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $23.99 24.99
One of Cal Tjader's best albums ever – and a sweetly electric side that features Joao Donato on organ and Gary McFarland on vibes!

Verve, 1963. Used ... $19.99
Excellent Verve album that Cal recorded with the great Clare Fischer on organ and piano. Clare's organ work on here is stellar, and he's got this cool little spare sound that works very well with Cal's vibes. The set includes a great version of "Sally's Tomato", plus the cuts "Hip ... read more CD

Concord, 1982. Near Mint- ... $16.99
In our opinion, Carmen always sounds best when she's singing with a small jazz combo backing her up – which is why we dig this tasty set from the early 80s, recorded with a great group led by Cal! The album's got some nice Latin touches – thanks to piano by Mark Levin, and conga work ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Fantasy/OJC, 1961. Used ... $9.99
One of the few albums ever that has vibist Cal Tjader working with a vocalist – and not a bad idea, either, considering that Cal's cool style always seems to provide a compelling backdrop for a singer! Mary Stallings was a lesser-known west coast vocalist at the time – but she sings ... read more CD

Discomate/P-Vine (Japan), 1983. New Copy (reissue)... $36.99
A walearic classic from the Japanese scene of the early 80s – a set that's definitely got some of the Latin elements promised in the title, but which also resonates strongly with some of the more electronic modes of the time! The tunes are instrumental, and often a bit jazzy – but also ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

East Wind (Japan), 1974. Near Mint- ... $38.99

Blue Note, 1960. Used ... $2.99
One of the greatest Stanley Turrentine albums ever – a hard-blown session that's been one of our favorite Blue Notes for years! Turrentine's tone here is amazing – really raspy and earthy, with a quality that never shows up much in later recordings – a mode that's incredibly ... read more CD

Blue Note, 1966. Used ... $7.99
Great large group genius from tenor giant Stanley Turrentine – one of a number of 60s Blue Note albums that have Stan exploring a format that he'd use even more strongly in the 70s! Here, the results are superb – thanks in strong part to the great Duke Pearson, whose growing talents as ... read more CD

CTI, 1970. Used ... $4.99
A bit hit for Stanley Turrentine – and a pretty darn nice record of extended groovers, with a harder sound than you might expect from the tongue-licking cover, and a title of Sugar! The record's only got three cuts – one of them Stanley's famous version of "Sugar", the other ... read more CD
(2002 pressing with bonus live version of the title track!)
CTI, Early 70s. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $6.99
A classic set from Stanley "Sugar Man" Turrentine – a nickname the reedman had at the time, given the success of his famous CTI Records version of "Sugar"! This set follows in that same great mode – jazzy, but a bit funky too – although couched with this ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label pressing with Van Gelder stamp. Cover has a cut corner.)
Blue Note, 1962. Very Good+ ... $48.99
Where it's at with Stanley Turrentine – circa 1962 – a time when the tenorist was really hitting on all burners, and turning out some tremendous work for Blue Note! The album's got Stan working with a special guest – a rare Blue Note appearance from pianist Les McCann, who's also ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese EMI pressing, with obi – BN 4096. Cover has a water stain in one corner, but it is hard to see. Vinyl has one cosmetic mark, but is nice overall.)
Stanley Turrentine —
Tiger Tail (aka Stan 'The Man' Turrentine) ... LP Mainstream, 1960. Very Good ... $4.99
An obscure second pressing of one of the best Stanley Turrentine albums ever! This hard-wailing set is from the early days of Stan's time at Blue Note – and like his best early sides for that label, this one has him blowing with an edgey tone that rarely ever surfaced in his later, sweeter ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Cover has some surface wear, heavy wear at the corners, some light stained and names in pen in back, and a small split in the bottom seam.)
Blue Note, 1960. Used ... $6.99
During the early 60s, Blue Note wisely cut a number of sessions that took advantage of their soulful in-house rhythm trio The Three Sounds. The group recorded more than a few successful albums under their own name – but they also did a few great records that feature them backing up a more ... read more CD

Futura/Souffle Continu (France), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 32.99
Surprisingly sensitive work from French pianist Francois Tusques – a player we often know from much more bombastic sessions, captured here in a beautiful solo date recorded at his home!

Futura/Souffle Continu (France), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 32.99
A stunning second set of solo piano work from Francois Tusques – in a setting that we like even more than some of his more bombastic group material! Here, Tusques is almost a completely different player – freely improvising, but at a very sensitive level too – in a way that's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Milestone/OJC, 1972. Used ... $6.99 9.99
A haunting tribute to the late John Coltrane – not just a "friend" of McCoy Tyner, but a key musical partner back in the 60s! The album's a solo piano effort – extremely intimate, but still played with that long-flowing majesty we always love in McCoy – and two of the ... read more CD

Blue Note, Late 60s. Used ... $19.99

(Out of print.)
Blue Note, 1970. Used ... $12.99
Brilliant work as a leader from McCoy Tyner – and easily one of his most righteous albums ever – a true batch of spiritual gems that really takes the John Coltrane legacy one step further! Most numbers build with a modal vibe that's more Impulse Records than Blue Note – and ... read more CD

McCoy Tyner —
Fly With The Wind ... LP Milestone, 1976. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Don't be put off by the late date of the session, because this is an excellent album from McCoy Tyner – and one with a very spiritual groove that's clearly inherited from Coltrane! The album's based around longer compositions arranged by Tyner, and orchestrated by the great William S Fischer ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

McCoy Tyner —
Inception ... CD Impulse, 1962. Used ... $6.99
A very early date as a leader by McCoy Tyner – cut at a time when he was making big waves in the John Coltrane Quartet, but also sounding plenty darn great on his own! The group here's a trio – with Coltrane associates Art Davis on bass and Elvin Jones on drums – and the warm ... read more CD

A beautifully full session from McCoy Tyner – one recorded with added horns and voices, and very much in the mode of some of Horce Silver's best 70s experiments for Blue Note!
