Miles Davis —
Round About Midnight ... LP Columbia, 1956. Near Mint- ... $39.99
Thelonious Monk may have written the title tune, but Miles Davis makes it all his own here – blowing with a subtle moody magic that makes the album one of his true treasures from the early Columbia Records years!

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

Nathan Davis —
Peace Treaty ... LP SFP (France), 1965. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of the first true moments of genius from saxophonist Nathan Davis – a mid 60s European session cut for the tiny SFP label – and a record that's even rarer than his early classics for MPS! The sound here is similar to the MPS sides – a mixture of soul jazz and modal jazz ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Recent 180 gram French reissue in a flip-back cover.)
Elton Dean, Steve Miller, & Pip Pyle —
Home Brewed ... LP British Progressive Jazz (UK), 1976. New Copy ... $21.99 24.99
A fantastic session from the 70s UK jazz scene, and one that's maybe as important to fans of the Canterbury scene as well – given the unusual legacies of the three players involved! The music is definitely jazz, though – fairly improvised, and recorded live with work from Elton Dean on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Jack DeJohnette —
Special Edition ... LP ECM, 1980. Very Good+ ... $14.99
The first album from the great Special Edition group of drummer Jack DeJohnette – a wickedly sharp record that's as equally tight on the reeds as it is on the drums!

Deodato —
Whirlwinds ... LP MCA, 1974. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Sweet keyboard soul from Deodato – a set that steps off nicely from the strengths of his big hits on CTI, hitting a similarly flowing groove that's really great! The instrumentation here is a bit more expanded than before, but never in a way that buries the keyboards – and Deodato's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Paul Desmond —
Paul Desmond Quartet Live ... LP A&M, 1975. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $9.99

Paul Desmond —
Summertime ... LP CTI/A&M, 1968. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $14.99
A perfect complement to Paul's other early CTI album – From The Hot Afternoon – and like that one, this album's a swirling match of tracks that mix together bossa rhythms, jazzy orchestrations, and Desmond's impeccably sharp alto sax. Don Sebesky handled the arrangements, giving the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Room ... LP Real World, 2024. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
An album that's a really beautiful showcase for the reed work of Sam Gendel – as he plays here alongside guitarist Fabiano Do Nascimento, who really seems to unlock a different side in Sam's music!

Cleveland Eaton & The Garden Of Eaton —
Keep Love Alive ... LP Ovation, 1979. Very Good+ ... $11.99
A mixture of funky jazz, soul, and disco – recorded with a host of studio players and a smooth jazzy finish. The record's trying to keep the groove going from Eaton's Instant Hip LP – which was quite a minor hit for him – and although we love the bassist as a jazz player, most of ...
