Folkways, 1976. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99 16.98
A beautiful record – and one that definitely lives up to the "innovative" name in the title! The set's a bit more complex, and more jazz-based than some of the other Folkways albums from Bilal Abdurahman – still very much in the spare modes of his other records, but also with ...

Karl (UK), 1968/1980/1989/1995. New Copy ... $22.99
A limited vinyl collection of work from the legendary Chicago pianist Muhal Richard Abrams – one of the founding members of the AACM, a hell of an improviser, and a musician who's also featured here with a focus on both his larger compositional vision, and some of his rare electronic ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Timeless (Netherlands), 1983. Near Mint- ... $16.99
George Adams and Don Pullen knock it out of the park on this one – finding great company in each other's presence, and really moving things forward in the process!

Timeless (Netherlands), 1984. Near Mint- ... $11.99
One of those key records that has George Adams and Don Pullen reinventing expectations of jazz for the 80s – both musicians with plenty of ear for the outside, but also coming back home with a well-rounded, deeply-rooted approach that's crucial in taking the American jazz legacy another step ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Fresh Sound (Spain), 1963. Used ... $18.99
A fantastic batch from the great baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams, covering some Mingus gems – accompanied by a crack set of 50s & 60s heavyweights including Thad Jones on trumpet, Hank Jones on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, Zoot Sims on tenor and others! The set is broken up between ... read more CD

Enja/Ward (Japan), 1975. Used ... $34.99
Exactly the kind of session that really lets Pepper Adams show his stuff – full of long, live tracks that really have Adams stretching out on baritone – handling the instrument with soul, depth, and dexterity that might well be unmatched during this point in his career! The quartet ... read more CD

Cannonball Adderley —
Cannonball Adderley Quintet & Orchestra – Experience In E/Capitol, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $16.99
A great lost chapter in the Cannonball/David Axelrod story! The record features Cannon's classic quintet performing some longer, more serious works with orchestral backing – and the sound is vaguely similar to some of Axelrod's "high concept" work for Capitol. The record features ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Cannonball Adderley —
Great Love Themes – The Cannonball Adderley Quintet With Strings ... LP Capitol, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A nice once – certainly not as funky as some of Cannon's other work for Capitol, but with a dark edge that really makes it great! The core Cannonball quintet of Nat Adderley, Joe Zawinul, et al, is set up in string arrangements by Ray Ellis – a bit flowery at times, but in a way that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Blue Note, 1958. Very Good- ... $149.99
A landmark album – even if it was the only session that Cannonball Adderley ever cut for Blue Note!

An album that definitely lives up to its title – given the great change and evolution in the style of Cannonball Adderley's music – definitely pointed towards the soul jazz fame to come in the 60s! The group here has Adderley's alto in the company of some all-stars who may not be his ... read more CD

Nat Adderley —
Autobiography ... CD Atlantic (Japan), 1965. Used ... $28.99
A gem of a record from Nat Adderley – filled with short soulful groovers, and done with an upbeat vibe that rivals some of Cannonball's best of the 60s! Joe Zawinul handled the arrangements, so there's definitely a strong influence here from the Cannon group – and although the players ... read more CD

CTI/A&M, Late 60s. Very Good- ... $9.99
Fantastic funk from Nat! "Calling Out Loud" has these stepping bass and electric piano parts that are just great, with wailing flute that bursts out into a full trumpet solo from Nat – really tasty, and stretching for the funky clouds!

Riverside, 1959. Very Good- ... $12.99
Despite the "much brass" tag in the title, this album's really just a sextet session – and not a clunky big brass ensemble one. Cannonball's brother plays with a very swingin' sextet that includes the brassy touches of Slide Hampton on trombone and Laymon Jackson on tuba. Wynton ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

One of the greatest albums in years from percussion Airto Moreira – a set that really lives up to the complex sort of grooves he first brought to our shores in the 70s!

CTI, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!

Prado (France), 2019. New Copy ... $18.99
A really great idea for a trio, and one that sounds unlike anything else we've ever heard – given that the music is a mix of percussion, bass trombone, and a mix of vibes and marimba!

Aketa's Disk/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1976. New Copy ... $24.99
A rare treasure from the Aketa's Disk label – one of the hipper Japanese jazz imprints of the 70s, and a great showcase here for the mighty piano talents of Shoji Aketagawa! There's something very unusual about the piano that Shoji is playing here – as it's got a tonal quality that ... read more CD
Aketa's Disk/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1983. New Copy ... $24.99
A slightly different album than usual from pianist Shoji Aketagawa, but one that still follows strongly in the best tradition of his offbeat gems for the Aketa's Disk label!

Astral Spirits, 2019. New Copy ... $9.99
A trio recorded with a great texture of sounds – the guitar of Tetzui Akiyama, the drums of Nicolas Field, and the tenor of Gregor Vidic – the last of which is often blown in this careful, sound-shaping style that's a big change from the usual! Akiyama's guitar is great too – not ... read more CD
RCA (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... $24.99

Prestige, 1963. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
