Freddie Hubbard —
Sweet Return ... LP Atlantic, 1983. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A definite sweet return from Freddie Hubbard – a record with a cover and title that might appear to be smooth jazz, but one with a sound that's solidly acoustic and soulful all the way through! The album's a great example of Hubbard's amazing work in the early 80s – a time when he was ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a promo stamp and tracklist sticker.)
Ivo Perelman/Mahakala, 2024. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A record that presents itself as distinct right from the very first notes – sounds that are a bit hard to define, but which must come from the bass of the great Reggie Workman – who, along with drummer Andrew Cyrille, are really key parts of the album at the core! Neither musician has ... read more CD
Donald Byrd & 125th Street, NYC —
Love Byrd ... LP Elektra, 1981. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A sweet funky 80s set from trumpeter Donald Byrd – a record done after his 70s run at Blue Note with producer Larry Mizell, but in a groove that's equally great in its own sort of way! Isaac Hayes is the producer on the set, and also plays a lot of Fender Rhodes, plus piano, vibes, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Benny Carter Meets Oscar Peterson (Pablo) ... LP Pablo, 1986. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Benny Carter meets Oscar Peterson – two older giants from the Verve jazz scene of the 50s, recording here in loose quintet format three decades later!

Miles Davis —
Workin' With The Miles Davis Quintet ... LP Prestige, 1956. Sealed ... $29.99
A record that hardly seems like workin at all, given the ease with which the group lays down the music – especially trumpeter Miles Davis, whose work here is like magic – and tenorist John Coltrane, who was really coming into his own with this recording! The set's one of a handful from ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Gene Ammons & Sonny Stitt —
Jug & Sonny (jug & corn cover) ... LP Chess, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $9.99

Playboys ... LP Pacific Jazz, 1956. Sealed ... $24.99
An excellent session that stands as one of both players' strongest from the time!

Gene Ammons —
Boss Tenor ... LP Prestige, 1960. Near Mint- ... $79.99
A soul jazz classic from Gene Ammons – the kind of session that easy made him "boss" on tenor – with a tone and conception that few other players could touch! The set is done in a style that's laidback, but never too loose – bouncing along in that "with conga" ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

80 Below '82 ... LP Antilles, 1982. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
An essential session from the Threadgill/Hopkins/McCall trio from Chicago.

Bobby Hutcherson —
Linger Lane ... CD Blue Note (Japan), 1975. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!

Last Stitt Sessions Vol 1 & 2 ... CD Muse/Savoy, 1982. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Some of the last work that Sonny Stitt ever recorded – and a rock-solid return to straight, acoustic work – material that has him blowing both alto and tenor, in two different groups!

Miroslav Vitous —
Music Of Weather Report ... CD ECM (Germany), 2016. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The music of Weather Report, served up by that group's legendary bassist Miroslav Vitous – but at a level that's quite different than the original!

It's Time For Ernestine (aka Hot Cargo) ... LP Baybridge (Japan), 1975. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
