LP...$36.99
38.99
A set titled after a Beatles hit of the 60s, but one that's got a lot more depth than that – as the record is a landmark moment in the development of organ/guitar jazz at the time – a set that features the key pairing of guitarist Grant Green and Hammond modernist Larry Young! As with ... LP, Vinyl record album

Tomasz Stanko
Wooden Music IIAstigmatic (Poland), 1972.
Beautiful improvised work from legendary Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko – work that's much more powerful and bracing than the atmospheric recordings he would do for ECM in later years! The work here comes right at a key moment for free jazz on the European scene – and Stanko works with ... CD

Love & LifeGondwana (UK), 2023.
LP...$27.99

Jazz Detective/Elemental, Mid 60s. 2CDs
CD...$22.99
24.99
60s Ahmad Jamal in the studio is already pretty darn great – but live, his group is even more amazing – as the pianist is able to stretch out more, and take a lot more chances too – not just in the way he's striking the keys of the piano, but also working with the fantastic ... CD
Marion Brown & Leo Smith
Creative Improvisation Ensemble (red vinyl pressing) (2023 Black Friday Release)Freedom/ORG, 1970. (reissue)
Stunning duets from these key improvisers – a set recorded in Paris, and done with a stripped-down and freely playful vibe that's very much like some of the best AACM material of the time!

Schoolly D/Get On Down, 1986. (reissue)
A seminal hip hop record from the 80s – early work from Schoolly D, from a time when he was repping the streets of Philly like nobody else – and really reinventing the whole hip hop game, from performance down to production!

LP...$36.99

A landmark late 50s album on Prestige Records – one of the label's key efforts to bring together some of the best talents in the hardbop business, and really let them loose on the kind of extended passages that weren't being recorded a few years before!

Jazzman (UK), Late 60s/1970s/1980s/1990s.
A wonderfully wide-ranging tribute to the great John Coltrane – served up here in a whole host of tracks recorded after his too-early death, each of which take his musical message in different directions! The sound is certainly spiritual – in keeping with the different volumes in this ... CD

Unreleased live work from Les McCann – recorded at a time when the soulful giant was really breaking it up in clubs around the country, and just about to unleash a whole new righteous side of his talents!

Stoned Soul PicnicAtlantic/Nature Sounds, 1968. (reissue)
LP...$23.99

An early album as a leader from the great Roy Ayers – a set that captures the vibes man at a time when he'd been working on the west coast soul jazz scene, and was stepping into even greater fame in the group of Herbie Mann! Yet this set is definitely Roy's own – kind of an ... LP, Vinyl record album
Jimmy Giuffre
Music For People, Birds, Butterflies & MosquitoesChoice/Candid, 1972.
Overlooked 70s work from Jimmy Giuffre – a hip trio session that has all the free elements of his earlier recordings, but possibly an even greater focus on tone! Jimmy plays a range of reeds here – tenor, clarinet, and flute – and he works with bass and drum accompaniment, but ... CD

Fabiano Do Nascimento
Mundo SoloFar Out (UK), 2023.
A set that's mostly solo from guitarist Fabiano Do Nascimento – yet one that's not like the solo Brazilian guitar records from years back, as Fabiano handles a range of different instruments, often overlaying them during the course of a performance – so that he works here with a ... CD
