One of Mose's best early albums – even though he hardly gets a chance to sing on it!

Tenor Conclave ... LP Prestige, 1956. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Tenors can't get any more conclaved than this – as the record brings together 4 players on the instrument in a great match from 2 of the best sides of 50s jazz!

Prestige, Late 60s. Very Good ... $14.99
In one of the most surprising jazz turns of the 60s, veteran LA bop alto player Sonny Criss developed a huge talent for turning out amazing soul jazz versions of hits from the pop and R&B charts of his day.

I'll Catch The Sun ... LP Prestige, 1969. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Excellent material from Sonny Criss' late 60's comeback period! By this point, Criss had a sound, style, and maturity that was unmatched by any of his LA contemporaries – a way of blowing the alto that was neither boppish, nor cliched in R&B modes – and instead burst forth with a ...

Prestige/OJC, 1967. Used ... $4.99
The great altoist Sonny Criss is one of our favorite-ever reed players, and this beautiful session from his late 60's "comeback" period is a loving portrait of the wide range of his deep deep talents! On the surface, the record is deceptively simple, and only features Criss' work on alto ... (Jazz) read more CD
Prestige, 1956. Used ... $6.99
A sublime early set from John Coltrane – and one of Tadd Dameron's greatest moments on record ever!

A pretty rare one – and one of the best albums that Eddie Lockjaw Davis ever recorded!

Bluesy quartet material by Lockjaw, with his combo that featured Shirley Scott on organ and Arthur Edgehill on drums.
