Pepper Adams & Donald Byrd —
Stardust – The Bethlehem Years (aka Motor City Scene) ... LP Bethlehem, 1960. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the most hard-hitting sessions ever recorded for the Bethlehem label – and a rare date for the imprint by the team of trumpeter Donald Byrd and saxophonist Pepper Adams!

Australian Jazz Quartet —
Australian Jazz Quartet (10-inch) ... LP Bethlehem, 1956. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A mighty sweet set of 50s modern jazz – played by some key musicians from Australian who were working in the US at the time! The record's got a style that's somewhere between the hippest sessions of LA and Sweden at the time – all the coolness of both scenes, but a sense of playful ...

A great little album that's as compelling as its title!

Art Blakey —
Hard Drive (70s pressing) ... LP Bethlehem, 1957. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A well-titled set from Art Blakey – considering the hard-driving sound of the group! The album's one of the best from that unusual year of 1957 – almost a "lost" year for Art, when he was working away from Blue Note with a very different lineup of the Jazz Messengers than on ...

Ruby Braff —
Ruby Braff Swings (10 inch) ... LP Bethlehem, Mid 50s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
They're not kidding about the title – because the album's one of Ruby Braff's most swingin from the time – a sharp-edged quartet session that's filled with well-blown notes!

Pete Brown —
Peter The Great (10 inch LP) ... LP Bethlehem, 1954. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the few albums ever as a leader from alto saxophonist Pete Brown – a less-remembered talent of his times, but a key link between the generations of bop and swing! The set was only issued as a 10" LP, but packs the full punch of most longer albums – sublime alto from Brown ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ralph Burns —
Bijou ... LP Bethlehem, 1955. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Amazing small group work from Ralph Burns – a real standout, given the amount of his larger ensemble sessions in the 50s!

Chris Connor —
Chris Connor Sings Lullabys For Lovers (10 inch LP) ... LP Bethlehem, 1954. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

(Original pressing – vinyl and cover are great!)
Bethlehem, Mid 50s. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A great set of tracks that represents some of Chris Connor's first recordings as a solo act – culled from earlier ep and 10" releases, and issued here on a full LP with a total of 14 tracks.

A great set of tracks that represent some of Chris Connor's first recordings as a solo act – a classic album originally issued as a 10" LP by the Bethlehem label!

Chris Connor —
Finest Of Chris Connor ... LP Bethlehem, Late 50s. Very Good 2LP ... $2.99
A tasty little 2LP set – one that collects the excellent late 50s vocal work cut for the Bethlehem label by Chris Connor! At the time, Chris had a sound that she virtually invented – icy vocals backed by small combo jazz, in a very spare and subtle setting – and the sound was, ...

Chris Connor —
This Is Chris ... LP Bethlehem, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Beautifully icy vocals from the amazing Chris Connor – the kind of record that set a new standard for vocal jazz back in the 50s!

Bob Dorough —
Yardbird Suite (aka Devil May Care) ... LP Bethlehem, 1956. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A mid 70s repackaging of one of the best vocal jazz albums that Bethlehem ever produced, and a landmark recording in the vocalese tradition!

(Cover has wear & a promo stamp.)
Bethlehem, 1956. Near Mint- ... $3.99
The album's a bit less "historical" than you might guess from the title – at least at the time it was issued in the mid 50s!

Duke Ellington —
Bethlehem Years Vol 2 (aka Duke Ellington Presents) ... LP Bethlehem, 1956. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
An excellent and oft-overlooked 50s session from Duke – recorded in Chicago as a one-off for the Bethlehem label, and done with a lush, rich sound that's really tremendous!

Don Elliott Sings ... LP Bethlehem, 1955. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Don Elliott puts down his mellophone and starts to sing – and the results are a surprisingly strong set that's one of his standouts of the 50s!

Relaxin With Frances Faye ... LP Bethlehem, 1957. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

Russ Garcia —
Sounds In The Night ... LP Bethlehem, 1957. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A very unusual album from Russ Garcia – one recorded with a vocal choir singing (mostly) wordlessly on the tunes! The style isn't scatting so much as it is a precursor to modes that would be used more heavily on later soundtracks – an approach that's jazz-based, and often colored with ...

Russell Garcia —
Wigville (10 inch LP) ... LP Bethlehem, 1955. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Pure genius from Russ Garcia – one of our favorite arrangers of the 50s, and one of the few who could be modern, swinging, and surprisingly soulful at the same time!

Bennie Green —
Catwalk (aka Hornful Of Soul) ... LP Bethlehem, 1960. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A killer of an album from one of the best hardbop trombonists of the 50s! This original's always been wickedly hard to find, and it comes from that later period when the Bethlehem label was cutting records that had a lot more of a soulful groove than earlier years. Bennie's playing with a hip ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bob Hardaway —
Lou's Blues (10 inch LP) ... LP Bethlehem, 1955. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the only albums ever cut by tenorist Bob Hardaway – a young west coast player who really cooks on this obscure record for Bethlehem!

Johnny Hartman —
Songs From The Heart ... LP Bethlehem, 1955. Good ... Out Of Stock

Bethlehem, 1955. Very Good+ ... $19.99 29.99

Jimmy Knepper —
Idol Of The Flies (aka Swinging Introduction To Jimmy Knepper) ... LP Bethlehem, 1957. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Great work from one of the most compelling trombonists of the 50s! Jimmy Knepper is probably best known for his excellent work on some of Charles Mingus' best records – but this set from 1957 shows that Knepper was also an extremely capable (if under-recorded) leader in his own right!

Herbie Mann —
Flamingo – Herbie Mann Quartet Volume 2 ... LP Bethlehem, 1955. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An early showcase for the cool, compressed flute work of the young Herbie Mann – a style that created a great bridge to jazz for so many later players on the instrument! The Mann heard here isn't the overblown, soul-drenched Herbie of the 60s – but a player who's very careful with his ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Charlie Mariano —
Charlie Mariano ... LP Bethlehem, 1955. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Charlie Mariano Plays ... LP Bethlehem, 1955. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Brilliant early work from Charlie Mariano – key proof of his genius, and one of the main albums we'd recommend by him!

Howard McGhee —
Dusty Blue ... LP Bethlehem, 1961. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
One of the best of the early 60s comeback albums by the legendary bop trumpeter Howard McGhee – and a record that really has the player finding a whole new groove in his music! At this point, Maggie's got a fantastic tone that was missing from his earlier records, filled with pain and raw ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bethlehem, 1955. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Easily one of the best albums ever cut by this oft-overlooked bop trumpeter – and a clean, clear, no-nonsense session played in the company of a crack group that includes Sahib Shihab, Duke Jordan, Percy Heath, and Philly Joe Jones.

Finest Of Carmen McRae – You'd Be So Easy To Love (aka Carmen McRae) ... LP Bethlehem, 1954. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Great early work from Carmen McRae – small combo, jazzy, and a nicely different set than some of her other work of the 50s!

A fantastic album – one of our favorite-ever records from Charles Mingus!

The voice of Audrey Morris is a great one – sweet, but also sad too – but never in a too-sentimental way, and perfect for the gentler touch of the Bethlehem label!

Finest Of Oscar Pettiford (aka Another One) ... LP Bethlehem, 1956. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Don't let the Another One title make you think this is some passable record that repeats earlier ideas – because the set is a real gem in the 50s catalog of bassist Oscar Pettiford, and one of his strongest dates as a leader!

One of the few small group sessions from vocalist Betty Roche – a singer who was known for her work with Duke Ellington, but who sounds even better in this setting!

A killer – and one of the greatest records ever cut on Bethlehem!

Ralph Sharon Trio ... LP Bethlehem, 1956. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of the few albums as a leader cut by pianist Ralph Sharon – a player who's best known for his years supporting singer Tony Bennett, but who sounds really wonderful here in an instrumental setting too!
