Roulette/EMI (Japan), 1956. Used ... $4.99
The title might sound a bit clinical, but the music within is anything but – and instead is that sort of special, magical work that always makes Sonny Stitt a real cut above most of his contemporaries! The notes try to link Stitt to Charlie Parker – but apart from a postwar sense of ... read more CD

(Japanese pressing, with obi!)
Cobblestone, 1972. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A return to basics after Sonny Stitt's late 60s Varitone and funk experiments – all-bop and all soul all the way through, and recorded with a tight quartet that features Barry Harris on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Roy Brooks on drums!

Sonny Stitt —
Moonlight In Vermont ... CD Denon (Japan), 1977. Used ... $6.99
Beautifully-recorded later work from Sonny Stitt – a record that's got the crispness and poise of his classic work on Roost, with perhaps a bit of the warmer soul he'd picked up in the 70s – yet laid out in a way that's different from some of his American albums too! The set's a ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Savoy, Late 40s. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $29.99
A cool release of early Savoy material by Sonny Stitt – with the titles "Webb City (parts 1 & 2)", "Be Bop In Pastel", and "Ray's Idea". (Funky 45's, Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
(A really great copy!)
Verve, 1956. Very Good ... $23.99
Sonny Stitt's work for Verve was some of his best on record – and this album is a perfect illustration of that bold claim!

(Verve Inc pressing with trumpeter logo and deep groove. Vinyl is nice and clean.)
Prestige, 1965. Very Good ... $6.99
A killer set from Sonny – recorded in a very stripped down setting that has him blowing over organ lines by Don Patterson and drums by Billy James, with no other accompaniment! Tunes aren't that long, but they do have a freer feel than usual – and titles include "Answering ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue label pressing. Cover has wear, and staining from moisture, with some marker and a promo ink stamp on the back.)
Verve, 1957. Very Good ... $49.99
Probably the most classic of Stitt's sides for Verve – and certainly the one that gets rated time and time again by jazz collectors. We think it's pretty darn great – although we always wonder why folks don't give Stitt's other sides for Verve as much of a chance, because they're all ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Verve Records Inc pressing, with trumpeter logo and wide deep groove. Cover has clear tape on the top seam.)
Verve (Japan), 1957. Used ... $9.99
Beautiful late 50s work from Stitt – filled with subtle complex solos, and a rich confident tone that was missing from earlier records. As with some of his other Verve sessions from the time, the track list is mostly standards – but unlike some Verve sessions, Stitt never gets lost in ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Roost, Early 60s. Very Good ... $29.99
Fantastic (and hard to find) session that has Stitt playing the sort of confident, mature, laidback grooves that characterize the bulk of his work from this time for Verve and Roost (most of which has been out of print for years!) His tone is razor-sharp, and he plays with a style that's way ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Verve (Japan), 1959. New Copy ... $13.99
Classic Sonny Stitt for Verve – one of those masterful albums he cut for the label in the 50s – all in a format that's misleadingly simple on paper, but surprisingly complex in execution!

Roost, Late 50s. Very Good ... $26.99
Magical Stitt work on Roost – an album of marked understatement, from the simple title, standard cover, and lack of session details on the back – all of which might make you think "oh yeah, heard this one before."

A standout acoustic set from the great Sonny Stitt – recorded during an early 70s stretch when he was doing a fair bit of work with electric players!

Atlantic/Collectables, 1966. Used ... $7.99
A heck of a great little record – one that shouldn't work so well, but it does!

Verve, 1959. Very Good- ... $39.99
Sonny Stitt makes Oscar Peterson sit up and groove!

Verve (Japan), 1959. New Copy ... $13.99

Flying Dutchman, 1976. Near Mint- ... $2.99
An unusual late record from the legendary Sonny Stitt – a set that's got some electricity in the group, but at a level that's not entirely funky jazz! Instead, the tracks are long, and feature some well-crafted solos from the leader – and the vibe here is loose at times, a bit like the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Cobblestone, 1972. Very Good+ ... $7.99
By this point in his career, Sonny hardly needed a tune up in his style – but the album's a great one from his post-Prestige years, and a real back-to-basics effort that recalls the genius of his work on Roost!

Jamal/P-Vine (Japan), 1970. Used ... $24.99
A sweetly funky little set from Sonny Stitt – one of his hippest albums ever, and a rare date cut for Ahmad Jamal's short-lived record label! The sound here is a great combination of the late 60s tone that Sonny forged on other east coast indies – and some of the hipper, more open ... read more CD

A strange one for Sonny Stitt – but also a real gem!

Impulse, 1963. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $24.99
Head to head blowing from Sonny Sitt and Paul Gonsalves – just the kind of twin-horn performance that Stitt was famous for in his live battle days, and one that also reminds us that Gonsalves can be a very loose swinger when he wants to be!

Prestige, 1962. Very Good ... $14.99
Stitt & McDuff in a very tasty set of organ/tenor grooves, played with that style that Prestige was finally beginning to perfect in the early 60s, as it let these organ combos shake off their 50's R&B sound, and start to hit a straighter jazz groove.

RCA (Japan), 1974. Used ... $34.99
A sublime 70s groover from the great Tamba Trio! This one works off of the expanded sound that the bossa jazz combo were forging on their late 60s work for CTI – adding in some more complicated arrangements by Luiz Eca to the regular piano/bass/percussion groove, pushing the sound into a ...

Giant Is Awakened ... CD Flying Dutchman/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1969. New Copy ... $13.99
An incredible album – one of the few rare early sides cut by pianist Horace Tapscott, a seminal figure in the LA underground of the 60s and 70s! The record is as pure Tapscott as you could ever get – experimental, but not too free; spiritual, but never too sappy; progressively ... read more CD
Melodia/Sahko (Finland), 1989. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99
A beautiful little record that's wonderfully hard to peg – not entirely a jazz record, although there are elements in the set of avant improvisation – but also not really any other style we can think of – and we mean that in the best way possible!

A tightly swinging set that makes wonderful use of the tenor sax of Buddy Tate – recorded in a swing-based mode that's very much in the same spirit Verve was using with players of his vintage, but in a style that's slightly rougher around the edges! The whole thing's got a nicely echoing ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

First Word (UK), 2018. New Copy 2 LPs ... $22.99
Kaidi Tatham hasn't given us many albums under his own name over the years – but each one is a great cause for celebration – as his musical vision is so fresh and bold, we're even more in love with Tatham in a full length setting, compared to his many 12" singles! The scope of ... (New Grooves, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Pablo, Early 50s. Used ... $5.99
Legendary recordings from the mighty Art Tatum – captured here in some late night studio sessions from early 50s LA – produced with just the right sort of laidback vibe by a young Norman Granz! Tatum could really shine the most in a setting like this – open, yet still very ... read more CD
