CTI, 1970. Used ... $6.99
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

Tempo, Early 50s. Very Good ... $19.99
An unusual set on an obscure label from Hollywood! One side features harpist Bobby Maxwell playing jazz, pre-Dorothy Ashby – and the other has him joined by violinist Joe Venuti! LP, Vinyl record album
(Red vinyl pressing. Cover is nice.)
Timeless/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1985. New Copy ... $11.99
The title's no lie, but it can't even begin to get at the very special sound of the record – as there's a lot more going on here than just a saxophonist taking on American standards! Harry Verbeke's got this sense of tone and phrasing that are very much his own – a quality that we love ... read more CD
Cat/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1978. New Copy ... $9.99
Harry Verbeke's a tenor player we grow to love more and more over the years – especially as we discover more of his obscure Dutch recordings like this album from the 70s! Verbeke's a tenorist who's completely fully-formed and strong-voiced right from the very first note – maybe ... read more CD
(Part of the "Jazz Premium Seats – Rare Jazz – Live & Sessions" series!)
Timeless/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1985. New Copy ... $16.99
We love the tenor of Harry Verbeke – a tremendously versatile Dutch player who's never gotten the attention he deserves on our side of the Atlantic – even though he blows with a rich, soulful tone that's completely classic all the way through! Here, Harry sounds maybe even more soulful ... read more CD
Svart (Finland), 1973. New Copy ... $9.99 17.99
A tribute to Marilyn Monroe, but one that's way different than you might expect – as the music here is highly electronic, and often quite dark – served up in a mix of experimental and jazz-based modes by a very unusual Finnish group from the early 70s! The quintet features drummer ... (Out Sound, Jazz) read more CD
Jazzman (UK), 2020. Used ... $5.99
The deepest work to date from Vibration Black Finger – a group headed up by UK drummer Lascelle Gordon, and who effortlessly mix together acoustic jazz elements and other sonic elements – very much in the best spirit of some of their contemporaries on the London scene! Gordon's drums ... read more CD
Wolf/TK, 1977. Near Mint- ... $5.99
A sweet soulful groover from the great Harold Vick – quite a different record than some of his other 70s sessions, but a nice one too! The sound here is very mellow – and very much in the "After The Dance" mode that the album references from the Marvin Gaye tune – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout notch and light wear.)
Strata East/Pure Pleasure (UK), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 44.99
Maybe the most righteous album ever from reedman Harold Vick – a crowning achievement of all his soulful years in jazz, cut as one of the key 70s releases on Strata East! Vick is fantastic here – light years ahead of his work as the funky tenorist on 60s albums by John Patton and Jack ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited edition 180 gram pressing!)
Geoff Vidal, 2010. Used ... $3.99
Features Makaya McCraven on drums – who also produced the album. CD
Vampi Soul (Spain), Late 70s/1980s. New Copy ... $5.99 16.99
A decade's worth of grooves from keyboardist Emil Viklicky – one of the funkiest cats working behind the Iron Curtain during the 70s! Viklicky plays a variety of keyboards, and even a bit of vibes too – working with fusion combos Energit and SHQ – but also jamming strongly as a ... read more CD

Homage To Joan Miro ... LP Supraphon (Czechoslovakia), 1987. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of the best albums by this hip Czech pianist – with work from Frantisek Kop on soprano, tenor, and bass clarinet – and a string quartet in a few spots too! LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has one bumped corner, but is nice overall.)
Supraphon (Czech Republic), 1978. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Czech pianist Emil Viklicky was one of the best of his scene at the time of this recording – and he stretches out beautifully here in a quintet – on original titles throughout the set! LP, Vinyl record album
International Anthem, 2022. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99
A stunning solo project from drummer Daniel Villarreal – a musician you might know in the group Dos Santos, yet one who's in very unique territory here on his own! The album was recorded in both Chicago and Los Angeles – and it's got a vibe that really reflects that process – ... read more CD
Vee Jay, 1964. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $24.99
A wickedly soulful session from bassist Leroy Vinnegar – one that carries the same "walker" theme used in the titles of his Contemporary albums, but one that comes across with an even groovier feel overall! Vinnegar's definitely walking some great lines on his bass – a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original white label promo. Cover has light wear, and a promo stamp on the back – but this is a nice copy overall.)
